    Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is once again rejecting any consideration for President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss terms for a ceasefire without his involvement.On a Twitter storm Saturday, Zelenskyy rejected the thought of giving any Ukranian territory to Russia in exchange for peace. “The answer to the Ukrainian territorial question already is in the Constitution of Ukraine. No one will deviate from this—and no one will be able to. Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier,” Zelenskyy said.President Trump announced that he would meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on August 15, in Alaska.Zelenskyy...

    VIDEOGreg Gutfeld had a great time on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show on Thursday night. It turned out as late night talk shows were meant to be namely lots of laughs and fun. However, you just know that angry leftists could not tolerate such merriment. The Bluesky Bolsheviks were raging that that Fallon had somehow sold out to fascism. On TikTok most people were reacting highly favorably to Gutfeld's appearance with Fallon. Of course, as could be expected, there were a few naysayers such as the sanctimonious TikTokker featured here who self-righteously denounced Jimmy Fallon for somehow caving in to fascism....
  • “Freedom of the Woods”: Why Armed Humans Keep Predators—and People—Safe

    The late, great wildlife biologist and expert on animal behavior, Valerius Geist, noted the tremendous benefit that hunters create for other people who use wild country. He calls it “freedom of the woods”. A short version is included in this Wolf Essay. There is a great Public Good that hunters give to society at large, which I may call here the “freedom of the woods.” It is based on the fact that an armed person acts quite differently from an unarmed one when meeting predators, and we have reason to believe that the predators notice the difference via sight, sound...

  • U.S. Senator probes Intel board over CEO Lip-Bu Tan's former China links —raises national security concerns amid Cadence scandal

    Tom's Hardware ^ | 8 August 2025 | Hassam Nasir
    The appointment of Lip‑Bu Tan as Intel’s CEO has prompted U.S. Senator Tom Cotton to scrutinize his past business ties to Chinese tech firms—and whether those connections threaten Intel’s role in American defense-linked supply chains. Intel is actively involved in the federal Secure Enclave initiative, which aims to secure microelectronics for U.S. defense use, and holds a roughly $3 billion contract with the Department of Defense. Cotton’s letter asks whether Tan’s investment history could compromise Intel’s obligations under such programs. A Reuters investigation in April revealed that Tan invested at least $200 million in over 600 Chinese firms through his...

    There was a kerfuffle a couple weeks ago involving criticism of Winston Churchill as a leader. I find it strange the way that conservative Americans treat Churchill as if he were one of the greatest American leaders, as the third in the sequence after Washington and Lincoln. I’m not the only person who’s noticed this. The academic Tanner Greer said, “The boomercon historical pantheon of heroes is something like this: Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln. Your pick among Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton.” Without taking anything away from Churchill, this is...

    James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | August 8, 2025 | David C. Phillips
    “In most college classrooms,” wrote Alison King in a seminal 1993 article, “the professor lectures and the students listen and take notes. The professor is the central figure, the ‘sage on the stage,’ the one who has the knowledge and transmits that knowledge to the students. […] In this view of teaching and learning,” King argued, “students are passive learners rather than active ones.” And, she continued, “such a view is outdated and will not be effective for the twenty-first century.” Instead of the transmittal theory described above, King championed a constructivist theory of learning according to which “knowledge [is]...

    VIDEODemocrats, such as Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy love to lecture about the EVILS of Gerrymandering. Meanwhile they piously ignore the OBVIOUS about how their own states, such as Connecticut with ALL FIVE congressional districts conveniently BLUE, are Gerrymandered. Keep this in mind while watching Murphy deliver his sanctimonious lecture on the subject of Gerrymandering.
  • Why the U.S. Air Force Needs 300 (Or More) B-21 Raider Stealth Bombers

    National Security Journal ^ | 8/8/2025 | Andrew Latham
    The U.S. Air Force’s plan to procure “at least 100” B-21 Raider stealth bombers is dangerously insufficient for an era of simultaneous great-power competition with Russia and China. Credible deterrent and the ability to fight a protracted, two-theater war requires a much larger fleet, in the range of 200 to 400 aircraft.

  • The dam is breaking on Britain’s illegal immigration crisis — and the results could be ugly

    New York Post ^ | August 5, 2025 | Glenn H. Reynolds
    Britain’s Labour government is in trouble: Its program of massive third-world immigration from places like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly, overwhelmingly unpopular. But that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that despite the best efforts of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his leftist captive media, Britons themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is. You might think that’s absurd — if mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it? Everyone doesn’t know it because the government has been policing speech about immigration. Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement or — worst of all — immigrant...

Gal 5:13 During the campaign Premier Obortion said, if his daughter made a mistake and got pregnant he didn’t want to punish her w/a baby. Could there be a more heartless way of looking at a baby as not only a mistake but a punishment? This is especially disturbing since he was not only a mistake by a teenage mother, but was very likely a rape which all pro-death advocates say should be...

    On June 28, 2020, Mark and Patty McCloskey displayed firearms in defense against a BLM mob that had illegally entered their property. The case gained national attention because the radical prosecutor in St. Louis, Kim Gardner, decided to prosecute Mark and Patty. St. Louis police Detective Sgt. Burgdorf found evidence to back up the claim that Mark and Patty acted reasonably. Gardner insisted on prosecuting the McCloskeys. Gardner was eventually removed from the case for a conflict of interest. A special prosecutor was appointed, who had his own problems. The McCloskeys, successful attorneys, decided to cut a plea deal on...

    Eighty years ago this week, the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, forcing the end of World War II. On August 6, 1945, the B-29 Enola Gay dropped the “Little Boy” uranium bomb on Hiroshima, killing up to 166,000 people. Three days later, on August 9, the B-29 Bockscar was diverted from its primary target of Kokura due to bad weather and instead dropped the more powerful “Fat Man” plutonium bomb on the secondary target of Nagasaki, killing up to 80,000 and compelling Japan’s surrender.

Instead of complaining to X, I contacted Grok and asked why my posts were being vaporized. We communicated for 45 minutes, which resulted in more than 25 pages of single-space copy! People wonder what AI is all about. I can report that Grok does everything super-fast. He (she if you prefer) does not make grammatical or spelling mistakes. Like me, he loves alliteration. Whatever you say, he weaves that into his conversation so...
