Though officially retired since 2008, the F-117A Nighthawk remains a vital and highly active asset for the U.S. Air Force, performing critical secret missions. Its primary new role is that of a high-tech "aggressor"; its older-generation stealth profile is perfect for simulating the radar signature of Chinese and Russian adversary aircraft to train U.S. pilots.

Adam Schiff is one of the most, if not the most, execrable persons in world. For years we've been listening to this pencil-necked reprobate spread lie after lie after lie about Donald Trump. I'd love to have a dollar for every time he said "Russian collusion." He was censured for his lies about this, but it wasn't even close to what was deserved. Still, the lies weren't enough. He would leak classified information for the express purpose of dirtying up Donald Trump. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), then the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, authorized leaks of classified information...

Democratic Party officials are quietly battling over which state will be the first to vote in the 2028 presidential primary — a fight that's set to break into the open next week, when the officials meet in Minneapolis. * Nevada, New Hampshire, and Michigan are currently the frontrunners to be "the new Iowa," and lead off the 2028 Democratic primary season, according to several people familiar with the Rules and Bylaws committee that will determine the order. Why it matters: The candidate who wins the first state primary gets a boost that can help propel them to the nomination —...

Most Americans firmly believe that educational institutions should be places where all ideas can be discussed and no one need fear reprisal for saying the wrong thing or pursuing the wrong research topic. That ideal, however, is not embraced by all people. There are powerful forces, here and abroad, that want to dominate education in order to advance their goals. They have no qualms about telling students what they must believe or telling faculty members not to research certain topics. Of course, the leaders of our colleges and universities would never cooperate with those authoritarian forces—or would they? In her...

Fox News’ resident leftist Jessica Tarlov has once again embarrassed herself, this time rushing to defend an illegal alien on social media before being forced to delete her tweet in disgrace. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that D.C. police tackled an illegal alien on the National Mall after he tried to flee. Video captured him shouting in Spanish, “Please! I’m not a criminal. I work here! I want to be with my family!” Without missing a beat, Tarlov rushed to X to blast Trump’s law-and-order approach. She wrote: “This doesn’t make D.C. safer. It’ll just make people not come to...

The U.S. risks losing its air superiority by 2030 if it fails to build its next-generation aircraft in sufficient numbers.For a “strategic restraint” approach, where the new F-47 fighter and B-21 bomber are not for global policing but for credibly deterring great-power war in the Atlantic and Pacific. To achieve this, the U.S. needs a minimum of 200-300 F-47s and at least 145 B-21s. These numbers are essential to absorb combat losses, reassure allies, and deter adversaries like China and Russia.

Through an extended weekend full of summitry, President Donald Trump revived the role of diplomacy in addressing the European conflict, making the first allied contact with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin since early in the Ukraine war. Trump rejected efforts by Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and seven European leaders to escalate the endless proxy war against Russia. Despite his narcissistic peculiarities, the president made more progress toward peace in four days than President Joe Biden did in three years, though there is still great skepticism that the war will soon end.

The following post contains discussion of alleged sexual assault, stalking, and predatory behavior. Most links are to conversations on Threads, some of which contain victim blaming and defense of assault. Please exercise caution and look after yourself before clicking links. … The con drama has been nonstop this year, as people try to launch weekend events and one, two, or nineteen things go wrong. The latest: Sinners & Stardust. Sinners & Stardust is a weekend event that hosts an author signing and a Dark Romance Ball to celebrate the readers and authors of dark romance. At the ball, apparently many,...

On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Scarborough offered a profoundly deceptive defense of DEI. Scarborough claimed that the 'E' in DEI stands for "equality." But as he well knows, it stands for "equity"—the diametric opposite of equality. The American ideal is equality of opportunity. Equity stands for equal outcomes, regardless of merit. It's the difference between the right of people to the "pursuit of happiness" and the government being in the happiness-providing business—for favored groups. Scarborough also claimed that "diversity" is fundamentally American, citing E Pluribus Unum—out of many one. But DEI advocates don't call for assimilation into "one" America of shared...

The ugly truth behind any deal that would cede a chunk of Ukraine’s Donbas region to Moscow is that it could immediately strengthen the Russian military, providing a major win for one of America’s leading adversaries in an era of great power competition. In such a scenario, Ukraine would lose some of its most heavily fortified defensive positions. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s generals would seek to deepen their substantial footprint in the strategically vital theater with new military bases. The Russian navy could gain even greater control over the Black Sea. The Russian government and its armed forces could take...

Omygosh! Voldemoort Zelenskyy stars in a Ukrainian sitcom about how an ordinary Ukrainian is installed as President of Ukraine.

The Democrat Party is hemorrhaging support with no end in sight, according to a shocking analysis of new voter registrations. Fueled by President Donald Trump’s gains among men, younger voters, and Latinos in 2024, more new voters nationwide chose to be Republicans than Democrats for the first time since 2018, according to a report from the New York Times which relies on voter registration data compiled by L2, a nonpartisan data firm. Perhaps more troubling for Democrats, the data suggests Democrat Party activists can no longer rely on the party’s tried-and-true methods to reverse the trend, leaving panicked party leaders...

The loophole China exploited is Trump’s next tariff target.President Donald Trump’s executive order of July 31st, effective August 7th, has upended global trade dynamics in a single stroke. Slapping a 40% tariff on all “transshipped goods”—products rerouted through third countries to dodge US duties—this is merely the natural development of his evolving protectionist agenda.Just a week after the order, the move is a clear shot at China’s sprawling manufacturing empire, which has long exploited methods like transshipment and “nearshoring” to skirt American tariffs in general, and Trump’s tariff policies in particular.While applied globally, China stands to take the biggest hit...

It’s a tale fit for a thriller novel or action movie: planes on the tarmac waiting to take members of a violent gang to a foreign prison, lawyers rushing to the courthouse to stop them, presidential proclamations, and a judge on a mission to impose his own brand of justice. But this drama isn’t made up—it’s very real, and it’s playing out right now in Washington, D.C. Leading the cast is President Donald Trump, who wants to rid the country of a violent gang. The legal backstory for his actions has three parts. The first is the Constitution, which the...

VIDEORemember when the liberals were rejoicing in early Spring when they were oh so sure that President Trump's tariffs would cause high inflation, tank the economy, and bring a downfall of the Trumpocalypse? Well, much to their great disappointment, that Hopium scenario did not play out especially as inflation continued to fall. However, they haven't given up. Jim VandeHei, the CEO of Axios, has inhaled another strong dose of Hopium and is now predicting a big rise in inflation resulting in the downfall of MAGA. And when this latest round of Hopium does not pan out, I am sure VandeHei...

Meet Izzy Gardon — the press flack behind the “@GovPressOffice” account that has begun imitating and mocking President Donald Trump, with the state still needing $40 billion in federal aid for fire victims. Gardon, who lists his term as “student body president” in high school on his LinkedIn profile (along with numerous social media jobs in politics), confirms on X that he is responsible for “bad work related tweets” associated with @GovPressOffice. His official title is Director of Communications for Governor Gavin Newsom — meaning that he is responsible for the @GovPressOffice account, which is the official, state-owned account for...

Gavin Newsom sucks. He is the slimy, smarmy Governor of California. By any measure he is a failure. He has been doing all he can to raise his stature and visibility for a Presidential run in 2028, which really isn't a good idea. Increased visibility means increased scrutiny. As I mentioned already, Newsom is a failure. PJ on X has complied a handy list for us: Governor Gavin Newsom’s top 20 failures in California 1. Homelessness Crisis: Over 180,000 unsheltered despite $24 billion spent since 2019. 2. Housing Shortfall: Promised 3.5 million new units by 2025, but construction lags severely....

If you didn't know, Gavin Newsom and his social media team have been mocking Donald Trump online. For example: Well, MSNBC's Morning Joe is not having it. 🚨 HOLY CRAP! Gavin Newsom has just lost left-wing Morning Joe, who is calling his impersonation of Donald Trump an "embarrassment.""It's quite embarrassing, actually. Gavin Newsom, you see what he's doing online? [...] Don't try to turn the ship 180 degrees. They don't know… pic.twitter.com/wT0z57gkm7— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 20, 2025Yes, even Joe Scarborough seems to think it is a waste of time to flatter mock a guy who will never be on...
