Couldn't the Military Industrial Complex Make Its Money in Mexico?

 Ann Coulter (townhall.com)

As we also know, Mexico's drug cartels have killed more Americans than have died in all foreign wars combined. They've killed more Americans than every terrorist group in history. Year after year, they kill more Americans than died in the entire course of the Vietnam War. 

. . ."As we also know, Mexico's drug cartels have killed more Americans than have died in all foreign wars combined. They've killed more Americans than every terrorist group." . . . 

"And in the past 18 months, we've doled out more than $75 billion to Ukraine to fight Vladimir Putin. Please explain how Putin is a greater threat to any American than the wasting away and miserable deaths of hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens, to say nothing of the gobs of taxpayer money lavished on pointless social services to "rehabilitate" the unrehabilitatable. (Plus the multiple millions lost to pure corruption.)

" Our "foreign policy community" will pay any price, bear any burden, to make some random part of the world safer -- as long as it's not America. 

"Here's how things would have gone if the warmongers, er, "foreign policy community," had been advising Winston Churchill in the run-up to World War II: 

"1925 CHURCHILL: Have any of you read "Mein Kampf"? Apparently, Mr. Hitler lays out a plan for German conquest of all of central Europe. 

"Sir, we're not wasting our time on that nonsense. Please focus: The important thing is that Chile just elected a liberal democrat, Emiliano Figueroa, who faces major opposition from the far-left labor party. They hate us for our freedoms! Britain's No. 1 foreign policy goal is to back Figueroa. 

"1928 CHURCHILL: Is anybody paying attention to this Hitler chap in Germany? He's barking mad, and he's a lot closer to England than any Chilean leftists. What? Are you a blood and soil type? We've pulled out of Chile, anyway. It's now ruled by a dictator. 

"1933 CHURCHILL: I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but "Mein Kampf" just became a bestseller in Germany. . .

. . ."It would be great if our military would concentrate on defending America. Can't the military industrial complex make its money in Mexico?"

Harvard is named WORST school for free speech - scoring BELOW zero

 Harvard is named WORST school for free speech - scoring BELOW zero - after nine professors and researchers faced calls to be disciplined or fired for voicing 'controversial' opinions | Daily Mail Online

  • The elite university in Massachusetts has been dubbed the single worst academic institution for free speech in the US out of 248 schools 
  • The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression said the school earned 0.00 points on a 100-point scale- but that its true score was even lower 
  • According to the institution, the treatment of speakers, professors and students with controversial opinions at the school has been particularly bad 


"The school's score tanked for a number of reasons, not the least of which being the nine professors and researchers at Harvard who faced calls to be punished or fired in the last few years based on things they'd said or written.

"Seven of the nine were ultimately disciplined.

"The director of polling and analytics at FIRE, Sean Stevens, told the New York Post that Harvard has consistently ranked among the bottom tier of schools on the list, but was surprised a school was able to 'fall below zero.'

" 'They've had so many scholar sanctions,' he said.

"A school's score is calculated based on factors like how strong the its policies in favor of free speech are and how many professors, students, and visitors to campus have been targeted by school authorities for their publicly held positions.

"At Harvard, in the last five years, some of the seven free speech incidents have included the school's decision to revoke conservative activist Kyle Kashuv's acceptance because of racist comments he made on social media as a 16-year-old, for which he apologized.

"Since 2019, Harvard has sanctioned four scholars, three of whom the institution has gone on to fire." . . .

‘Obama’s Gay Lover’ Blows Cover Off Sex With Barack In Tucker Interview

 'Obama's Gay Lover' Blows Cover Off Sex With Barack In Tucker Interview (Video) ⋆ Conservative Firing Line

"Tucker Carlson’s highly anticipated interview with Larry Sinclair, the man purporting to be Barack Obama’s homosexual lover when the former president was a state senator in Illinois in 1999, is now scheduled for broadcast Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. Eastern on X, formerly Twitter.

"On Tuesday, Carlson posted numerous video clips from the discussion, as Sinclair goes into details of crack cocaine use and sexual relations with Obama.

"Pulled up in a bar, outside and there’s this guy that’s introduced to me as Barack Obama,” Sinclair says at the outset of the preview.

"I had given Barack $250 to pay for coke, I start putting a line on a CD tray to snort. And next thing I know, he’s got a little pipe and he’s smoking.” . . .

Biden wanders off during Medal of Honor ceremony UPDATED

First the back story:   Vietnam Helicopter Pilot Capt. Larry Taylor Awarded Medal of Honor for Daring Night-Time Rescue (yahoo.com)

How can anyone watch that and not feel compassion and admiration for Capt. Taylor, while Joe Biden treated the entire ceremony as just another game show?

 Monica Showalter - American Thinker    "Is there anyone less fit to be around men of authentic valor than cowardly, self-dealing Joe Biden?

"Breaking all protocol as well as common decency, he wandered off the set during a Medal of Honor ceremony, leaving the honoree, Capt. Larry L. Taylor, awkwardly on the podium alone.

"Here's what he did:"

(Notice the puzzled look on the photographer as he passes her. She knows something is wrong)


COVID-exposed Biden goes maskless in front of hero – HotAir   . . ."So was this an example of Joe Biden simply flaunting the rules that his own White House has established? Or did he just lose the plot (again) and forget about the masking guidelines in the middle of the ceremony? Personally, I’m leaning toward the latter explanation because of what happened next. Once the reading of Captain Taylor’s exploits was complete and the medal had been presented, it was time for the recitation of the prayer. But Biden simply wandered away and walked out of Taylor’s ceremony before it was complete.

Military veterans slammed Biden afterward, arguing that the commander-in-chief showed a startling lack of respect.

“Pardon my French…But what a f—ing idiot. The continuous lack of respect Biden has for anyone is appalling. Hawaii, Service members, active shooter victims, the list goes on,” former Navy SEAL and podcast host Shawn Ryan tweeted after the president’s hasty exit.

“At least he didn’t check his watch this time,” Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), an Army veteran, snarked on X, formerly known as Twitter. . . .

How San Francisco Became a Failed City UPDATED

Chesa Boudin Recall: How San Francisco Became a Failed City - The Atlantic

. . .Because yesterday, San Francisco voters decided to turn their district attorney, Chesa Boudin, out of office. They did it because he didn’t seem to care that he was making the citizens of our city miserable in service of an ideology that made sense everywhere but in reality. It’s not just about Boudin, though. There is a sense that, on everything from housing to schools, San Francisco has lost the plot—that progressive leaders here have been LARPing left-wing values instead of working to create a livable city. And many San Franciscans have had enough. . . .
