  • A U.S.-China War over Taiwan: Who Wins?

    The conflict itself would likely play out in several phases. The opening week would be defined by missile barrages aimed at Taiwan’s defenses and US forward bases, along with cyber and space attacks to blind command networks. Taiwan’s dispersal plans and mobile launchers would mitigate, but not eliminate, the damage. The next phase would be the battle for sea denial. Submarines, mines, and long-range anti-ship weapons would be hurled against convoys carrying PLA troops and supplies across the Strait. Geography favors the defenders, but China’s proximity and numerical advantage mean some ships would get through. The outcome of this battle...
  • X: Delta Pilot Celebrates Charlie Kirk's Death

    Two more pilots publicly cheering Charlie Kirk’s death, and even smearing the centrist Republican as a “Nazi”: Sydney Katherine Farruzi, who wears female clothing in the cockpit, and Seattle-based captain Teri Lyn Poulton. Is this a systemic problem with your flight crew, @Delta ?

    Yesterday, I published The Geometry of Blindsides, my small-picture take on the death of Charlie Kirk. Today, I want to do what I didn’t do then. This is my big-picture take on Charlie Kirk’s death. I have two points to make. The first point is for those on the right declaring, in their grief, that this means war. Whether or not war is the correct answer to “What is the current state of things?” is above my pay grade. But I do need to point out something almost nobody is taking seriously enough.

    Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, "Bluesky," the progressive alternative to Elon Musk's "X," warned its users "glorifying violence or harm violates Bluesky's Community Guidelines. We review reports and take action on content that celebrates harm against anyone. Violence has no place in healthy public discourse, and we're committed to fostering healthy, open conversations." This warning was followed by numerous posts praising the assassination and suggesting future targets that included Musk, podcasters Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles, "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, and, of course, President Trump. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) denied that characterizing Trump and...

    If you’re like me and have been watching the news feeds and social media for developments on the Charlie Kirk assassination, you have probably also come across a disturbing army of leftists online cheering for the conservative speaker’s death. Some posts, featuring people laughing and celebrating, have tens-of-thousands of upvotes. It’s not just the comments, it’s the mob of crazies supporting the comments.What I see in this mountain of degenerate psychopathy is confirmation. I and many other analysts have been warning for years that the fight for what remains of the western world will happen on two fronts: The globalists...

    Daily Wire ^ | September 11, 2025 | Zach Jewell
    Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh stood firm in their defense of free speech and conservative values after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, even as some unhinged leftists called for more political commentators to be targeted. Shapiro and Walsh dedicated their shows on Thursday to honoring the legacy of Kirk, who was killed while speaking to students at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. During their shows, both Shapiro and Walsh also told their followers that despite concerns of more violence against conservatives, they would never back down and continue to stand “up for what America is and what...

    Nick: I am told that as a state representative, this is the moment where I'm supposed to express my heartfelt condolences and then stand in solidarity with those on the other side of the aisle as we condemn political violence and stand unified as one people. But we aren't one people, are we?" The truth is, we haven't been for some time now. And there is really no point in pretending anymore, if there ever was. We are two very different peoples. We may occupy the same piece of geography, but that is where the similarities seem to abruptly end....
  • Suspect's high school classmate says Robinson was the only 'leftist' in a family of 'very hard' Republicans

    Guardian ^ | 2 hours ago September 12, 2025 | Anna Betts
    In a phone interview on Friday, someone who said they were friends with Robinson in high school, who wanted to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was “pretty left on everything” and was “the only member of his family that was really leftist”. “The rest of his family was very hard Republican,” the friend said. Around sophomore year, the friend said, Robinson became more extreme in his political views and would “always just be ranting and arguing about them”. The friend said that they played video games together a lot in high school and noted that the bullet engraving with...

  • Clemson Professor Celebrates Charlie Kirk's Death Online

    A Clemson University professor appears to have wiped his social media accounts after posting and sharing messages that mocked the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Melvin Earl Villaver Jr., an assistant professor of audio technology and global black studies in Clemson’s Department of Interdisciplinary Studies, appears to have reposted and commented on multiple X posts ridiculing Kirk after his murder at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. Screenshots shared by Clemson College Republicans show an account apparently belonging to Villaver, “Melvin Earl, Ph.D.,” reposting a message that read, “no one mourns the wicked.” Another repost mocked Kirk’s views on...

    NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein
    On today's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish declined to say that celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk was inappropriate or merited criticism. Instead, with heartless detachment, Cornish simply observed what others are saying on the matter. "I know what people don't think is appropriate, so here's an example. The New York Post puts images of someone that they're saying is celebrating his death, and I know people criticize that."Audie can't say that celebrating murder is inappropriate, that it's worthy of criticism? Really? Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

    These poor fools are missing the big picture. When there's a killing the left always tries to assign the killer to the right. We're used to it. And the vast majority of the right always overwhelmingly condemns the killer. Only this time all the moderate normie republicans out there saw MILLIONS of liberals celebrate and justify the brutal murder of a man... all because that man held beliefs similar to theirs. Beliefs that regular Americans consider completely normal and common sense. These normal folks were going about their day, then they saw some shocking brutality, and before they could even...
