10 Times Cornyn Betrayed Trump and MAGA

Is the US in decline? After Iran strikes, maybe not, Chinese analysts say

“…The popular idea in China that American strength is waning may need a rethink, observers say…”

The U.S. controls major shipping chokepoints around the globe and has the capability and will to use them to U.S. advantage.

Trump did that and in so doing reversed decades of U.S. unwillingness to exert U.S. power.

America has few real competitors in any aspect of international relations.

Pentagon says it is labeling AI company Anthropic a supply chain risk ‘effective immediately’

Anthropic is run by naive idiots.

Gerard Van der Leun:

“I find I don’t wish to explore new lands, but to explore again those I have already passed through, trying to see what I’d missed in the first hectic rush”

Donald Trump Is a Great Man of History

“…Trump has met the moment and risen to the occasion in numerous foreign theaters besides China and the broader Indo-Pacific as well. He saw decades of American malaise, managed decline, and overextended empire, and he has promptly reversed course.

Trump and his administration have repeatedly proven willing and unafraid to criticize America’s European allies, nudging our core NATO partners to be better versions of themselves in such areas as military spending and defense self-sufficiency. He has responded to decades of buildup of murderous transnational nonstate cartels and Chinese and Russian entrenchment in our own hemisphere by reasserting the Latin America-centric Monroe Doctrine, as most spectacularly evidenced by January’s Operation Absolute Resolve extraction of fugitive Nicolas Maduro in Caracas.

And now there is the unfolding Operation Epic Fury in Iran…”

Katie Couric asks Gavin Newsom if he’s “just ridiculously good looking” and whether he has “a Zoolander problem.”

Trump hit Iran — but he’s really got China in his crosshairs

Pete Buttigieg in the Wilderness

“…This brings us back to what we might call the IOP problem: Buttigieg has punched his card, has followed all the prescriptions, has received every honors grade and service patch one can get by the age of 44. But it turns out that lots of people, and not just jealous Ivy Leaguers, hate this. They hate pretensions of expertise. They hate people who work to become what they are not—even when they work to become better people, or better presidents. “I’m like you,” Gavin Newsom told a crowd in Atlanta in February. “I’m no better than you. I’m a 960 SAT guy.” That score is well below average. The audience cheered.

Buttigieg’s critics seem to fault him for the vaguest reasons, many of which come down to: he’s too perfect; he’s not authentic; he’s not a man of the people. It’s an odd line of attack. Is it possible to be too perfect? Is perfection a flaw? Social psychology has documented something known as the “pratfall effect”: the distrust of people deemed too perfect…”

These people are pathetic

The inimitable David Burge skewers the fakery and plops it on the grill:

Flashback: Presidents Don’t Need Congressional Approval to Strike Dictators

“…to be fair, she made this argument a little before Operation Epic Fury. Fifteen years before, to be accurate, when Barack Obama took the exact same action that Trump did this weekend…”

The banal stupidity of repeating debunked claims for what? The entire Democrat message is dependent on the voters being uninformed stupid people.

The Post quoted Ermiya Fanaeian as a Howard PhD candidate with family in Iran. It did not mention her work for ‘Armed Queers Salt Lake City,’ which included a visit to the Cuban embassy in DC to celebrate the life of Fidel Castro
