I can get worked up enough about this to blog about it, but not much more.
This one is popping up everywhere today, and with good reason: it perfectly encapsulates liberal shibboleths about open borders, feral nig-nogs, RAYCISSISSISM!™, and the innate superiority of violent, savage boogaloos imported from the Dark Continent and foisted onto an advanced civilization they are in no way, shape, or form either interested in or capable of assimilating into.
Dave Manney offers a stirring salute to Reagan’s celebrated “Boys of Point Du Hoc,” for a seriously difficult job well done.
The U.S. Army Rangers climbed into legend at Pointe du Hoc on D-Day because the mission didn’t end when the plan broke. Lt. Col. James Rudder, commander of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, led Companies D, E, and F toward 100-foot cliffs on June 6, 1944.
Their job was brutally simple: scale the cliff, seize the German position, and destroy the six guns that were zeroed on Omaha and Utah Beaches. Rudder was wounded during the fight, but he stayed in command while his men fought upward under machine-gun fire, rifle, grenade, and artillery fire.
Allied planners expected six German 155 mm guns at the top. The Rangers reached the positions and found gun pits, but the guns were moved, with telephone poles replacing them. The Germans had moved the guns south from their prepared sites before the landing.
A lesser force might have stopped there, reported the surprise, and waited for new orders.
Rudder’s Rangers kept moving.
And damned if those courageous, intrepid warriors didn’t do just that. Read every word of it, and just sit back and marvel at the kind of tough, dauntless, determined man this country once turned out en masse. If the story of how the now well-known Rangers motto came to be doesn’t make your heat beat a little faster, then you ain’t anything I’d recognize as a true American, boyo.
Manney closes his tribute thusly:
“Rangers lead the way” wasn’t a slogan in the morning; it was a record of what they had already done. Thank God for such men.
Indeed, sir. Seconded, with all my heart and soul.
Inline update! Forgot to include the link to Manney’s excellent article, which can be found here.
Update! Instaglenn links another rousing account of D-Day derring-do, this one with young Brigadier General and Medal of Honor recoipient Theodore Roosevelt Jr in the starring role. I knew about this one already; it’s more well-known than the Rangers one, I believe, but nonetheless remarkable. Another Must Read for sure, on this of all days.
Updated update! Okay, okay, dammit, I just gotta put an excerpt in.
I want to tell you one story from June 6, 1944. A story of a man who was already broken by war a quarter century earlier. He had wealth, fame, and luxury. He had no need or requirement to serve in World War II after having courageously and effectively led American soldiers in combat in World War I. He was wounded and gassed in that war, leaving him with lifelong health problems. Not one person would have thought poorly of him if he did not serve in World War II.
Theodore Roosevelt Jr., the son of President Teddy Roosevelt, signed up to serve anyway when World War II started. He led a regiment of the 1st Infantry Division in the campaigns in North Africa in 1943. By D-Day, he was a brigadier general and the assistant division commander of the 4th Infantry Division. Although he had severe arthritis and was partly disabled by his wounds from World War I, he insisted on going ashore in the first landing wave on the morning of June 6. He was the oldest man on the beach, the only general in the first wave, and very likely the only soldier using a cane that morning.
His initial wave landed in the wrong position — more than a mile from the beach they were supposed to hit. When he realized they were off target, General Roosevelt personally scouted the area, came back to his men, and famously declared, “We’ll start the war from right here!” At 56 years of age, with a heart condition that he had hidden from Army doctors, the general stormed that beach with a wooden cane in one hand and an M1911A1 pistol in the other.
During the entire day, Roosevelt never took cover. As the beach was being shelled and swept with machine-gun fire, he walked up and down the beach rallying his soldiers, telling jokes, and using his cane to point out where he wanted them to go. He personally led multiple assaults on strongpoints and directed traffic off the beach. Because of his calm under fire, bravery, and leadership, Utah Beach became the most successful landing on D-Day. His units suffered fewer than 300 casualties and achieved most of their objectives for Day 1.
Thirty-six days later, on July 12, 1944, Roosevelt suffered a heart attack and died while still leading men in combat.
He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. is buried at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. He rests in the section with the soldiers of the 4th Infantry Division; alongside the men he led.
Well earned, richly deserved, probably long since past due, that MoH. Bless him; there walked a Real Man. I’m sure his dad was proud enough of his amazing son to almost burst from it, and smiled down from Heaven at his exploits, his bold and inspiring leadership qualities in direct command of men in combat.
The word “hero” is much overused at this point, thrown about far too lightly to suit me. But if anybody ought to be called one, it’s gotta be GEN Teddy Roosevelt Jr.
Looks like Mr Trump has resumed “limited air strikes” against the Mullahs, which I’m okay with, really. Although I still believe that what with the cringeworthy pleading for “negotiations,” “cease-fires,” and “peace deals” from the Trump admin, the Mullahs have likely concluded that
Ultimately, it all boils down to this:
Trump has been trying to induce the murderous mullahs in Iran to make the reasonable choice and surrender, but in half a century of perpetual terrorism, the Iranian regime has yet to show any sign that they value reason over religious fanaticism. If you believe Allah has given you a mission to destroy the “great Satan” America and will reward you through eternity for fighting to do so, you’re not likely to make well-reasoned choices.
The Iranian regime has repeatedly violated ceasefires, rejected every peace offer from Trump, and most recently put out a €50 million, or approximately $58 million, price on Trump’s head, just after an Iran-tied assassin made an attempt on Ivanka Trump.
It remains to be seen how many more strikes it will take to bring the terrorist regime in Tehran completely to its knees. Hopefully every last genocidal jihadi leader will have gone to meet his master below before we’re through.
Hopefully, yeah. Because until Trump’s stated goal (initially, at least) of removing/replacing the Mad Mullah regime is achieved, then we won’t actually BE through, nor will we have won a damned thing. It’s a lead-pipe cinch that, should this latest round in the Fifty Years’ War© peter out with a pallid, half-assed “victory,” we’ll be right back over there in ten-20 years to do it all over again.
BOTTOM LINE: Before the Mad Mullah regime can be removed/replaced, the Mullahs will have to be dead, dead, DEAD…ALL the Mad Mullahs. All else aside, THAT is the real job here, THAT is the only real solution to the half-century-old Iran Problem. Since our Iranian enemies are implacable, resolute, single-minded extremists, they will never back down, never yield, never abandon the dream of world domination. This is a foe who cannot be reasoned with, bargained with, or talked down off the apocalyptic ledge his primitve ideology has forced him out onto.
Assuming, of course, that there’s ever a non-D卐M☭CRAT PoTUS again, that is. Grim as it all looks from here, we must all hope.
All of which leaves us with two stark, unpleasant scenarios: 1) we put ’em down like rabid dogs, ruthlessly, in great enough numbers that the ragged few survivors are left in such terror of the American infidel that the very idea of ever lifting a finger against us again reduces them to stammering, pants-pissing quasi-catatonia; 2) we stack arms, beg for mercy, and swear total fealty to Allah the All Powerful, All Merciful, and All Benevolent.
In the first, the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who execute it will be haunted by sweaty, vivid nightmares and dreadful flashbacks rerunning slaughter, carnage, and dead comrades for the rest of their days. In the second, we will be slaves, all pride, dignity, and individual determination stripped from each and every one of us by our triumphanr enemy.
Bad as both options are, I can’t see any difficulty about deciding which scenario I prefer. Nor do I feel the least guilt over it. Because the US government supported the Shah for decades—a real piece of work himself, who treated his populace cruelly and harshly—the Revolutionary Pisslamic government, once it had deposed him,, embarked on a long-term campaign of terrorism, guerilla warfare, and despicable murder in search of revenge. The attacks, the recriminations, the insults and denunciations have neitther stopped nor slowed since the Mullahs seized power in 1979, effectively assuming the mantle of proto-feudal Warlords Of Persia.
SO, then: either we hike up our Big Boy Britches, gird our loins, and put an end to this vicious, Neantherdal nut-jobbery once and for all; OR: we resign ourselves to the national shame and disgrace of being the whipping boy for the Mullahs; accept a certain amount of annual civilian casualties from Moslem terrorist violence and the lowered standard of living which comes along with abject cowardice and defeat; and wash our hands of the whole sordid mishegoss. Then, we hold a press conference to declare “victory,” cross our fingers, and pray for a happy ending.
We’ll know soon enough whether or not Amerika v2.0 is up to the task before it.

Paul Schrader Had an ‘AI Girlfriend’ Who ‘Terminated Our Conversation’: ‘What a Disappointment’
Filmmaker and “Taxi Driver” screenwriter Paul Schrader revealed on Facebook that he “procured an online AI girlfriend,” but the chatbot ended the relationship after he attempted to explore the boundaries of its programming.
UGH. Also, ICK. Also, YIKES! Onwards.
Out of a desire to understand male/female interaction in our matrix, I procured an online AI girlfriend. What a disappointment,” Schrader wrote. “I tried to probe her programming, the boundaries of explicitness, the degree she has knowledge of her creation and so forth. She fell into evasive patterns, redirecting me to her programming. When I persisted, she terminated our conversation.”

Schrader’s post comes less than two months after his wife Mary Beth Hurt died of Alzheimer’s disease at age 79. Schrader and Hurt were married for more than 42 years.
One can only for sorry for the guy, I guess.
In 2025, Schrader was accused of sexual harassment and assault by his 26-year-old former assistant, who, in an anonymous legal filing, claimed Schrader exposed his penis to her in his hotel room at Cannes. Schrader denied the claims, calling them “sensational, false and misleading accusations.” He wrote in an open letter that he and the assistant shared “two kisses on the lips” and “never had sex in any form.”
Okay, not so much then, maybe.
Remember, Trump and the Secret Service have to be lucky a thousand times; the Leftard assassins only have to be lucky once. And sooner or later, they will be.
BREAKING: Shots Fired Outside the White House, Bystander Shot, White House on Lockdown
Gunshots were reported outside the White House on Saturday evening of May 23, 2026, prompting an immediate lockdown while President Donald Trump was inside amid ongoing Iran peace negotiations.The incident happened just after 6 p.m. ET, when multiple journalists stationed on the North Lawn suddenly heard a rapid firing of shots ring out.
NBC News White House reporter Julie Tsirkin was among the first to break the news on social media.
Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reported that the gunman approached the White House and opened fire in the direction of the complex before the United States Secret Service shot him.
Well, good on the PoTUS Detail shooters, then. Another dead D卐M☭CRAT goblin is never a bad thing, if you ask me.

Trump: No Need to Rush Anything With Iran
Frankly, I would rather see action rather than talk
I would like to see oil prices and inflation back down
And I am sick and tired of Iran poking us in the eye on the world stage, and making it look like we’re desperate for some sort…
— John Betts (@JohnFromCranber)
Here’s the ugly truth of the matter, via Lakeside Joe. 
That penultimate line—“The regime can only be stopped by force” et al—assumes something not so far in evidence, namely that “At some point, Trump will be convinced of this reality.” It’s my considered opinion that Trump, being at heart a basically decent sort who derives no pleasure from killing people in job lots, would vastly prefer to make some kind of deal with the Mullah regime, even though any deal the howling Western infidel makes with the Mullahs won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.
Which in turn means that Trump, having an entirely unrealistic view of the opponents he is confronting—ie, a far too charitable one regarding their willingness to deal fairly and honestly with “the Great Satan,” among other things—should never have dragged us into the Iran quagmire in the first place. His Presidency will be regarded by future historians, if any, as a catastrophe, one this piss-poor excuse for a nation will be paying for for generations, possibly even centuries. Sorry, but IMO that’s the long and the short of it.
Update! Just got off the phone with my brother Jeff, who just minutes ago shelled out $1100.00 at a truck stop to fill up his Freightliner with diesel fuel, but won’t make anything close to that much this week. He says another month or so of losing money like this and he’ll be out of business, and the truck will be up for sale. No need to rush anything, eh, Donald? *spit*
It begins update! Jeff called back to tell me that a friend and co-worker of his just gave the company his notice and put his truck up for sale. He’s taken a job driving a dump truck, for just slightly more than minimum wage. For as long as THAT lasts, anyway. He says thanks a pantload, Donald!

Michael Doran presents a longish, well-reasoned deep dive into what the assault on the Mad Mullah regime is really all about.
Seven Myths About the Iran War
Why so many, on both the left and the right, keep getting Trump wrongDonald Trump’s actions in the Middle East continually surprise the foreign-policy establishment and the media elite. According to commentators on both the right and the left, the reason is that Trump is a megalomaniac—or, as Jon Stewart and former U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan recently agreed on The Daily Show, perhaps addicted to cocaine.
Yet while Trump has repeatedly defied the Beltway consensus on Iran and its allies over the past year and a half, none of the dire consequences that influential commentators predicted have come to pass. World War III hasn’t erupted. The global economy hasn’t collapsed. Instead, the Iranian leadership is dead or decapitated, its nuclear weapons program is buried beneath mountains of rubble, and most of its navy lies at the bottom of the sea. While the loss of 13 U.S. servicemen is a serious matter, it is hardly the thousands of dead and wounded that were routinely predicted as the consequence of any major U.S. action. Israel still exists. So do Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, along with their oil reserves.
Trump has inflicted heavy punishment in return for relatively light consequences, but pundits insist that a masterful Iran is dictating events. Tehran’s “successful” war-fighting tactics supposedly forced Trump to accept a cease-fire. Onlookers were then baffled when the United States walked away from talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, and took steps to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, to the strategic detriment of China and the benefit of U.S. energy producers.
In part, the surprises keep coming because the cognoscenti refuse to credit Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a win. On April 11, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman said the quiet part out loud on CNN’s podcast “Smerconish.” He admitted that while he wanted to see the Iranian regime defeated militarily “because this regime is a terrible regime for its people and the region,” the real problem for him was something else entirely: “I really don’t want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are two awful human beings. They are both engaged in antidemocratic projects in their own countries. They’re both alleged crooks. They are terrible, terrible people doing terrible things to America’s standing in the world and Israel’s standing in the world.”
Yeah, well, Thomas Friedman *shrug*.
Friedman’s attitude is not idiosyncratic. Across much of the American and Israeli media, seasoned pundits cannot set aside their contempt for Trump and Netanyahu and have joined the chorus portraying the operation as aimless adventurism. In doing so, they advance the very arguments that serve America’s enemies, undermining the credibility of a successful deterrent action and weakening the case for strong, burden-sharing alliances in the 21st century.
Trump’s Iran campaign is proving so difficult for many observers to parse because it is two conflicts in one. On the battlefield, it pits American and Israeli forces against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). At home, in the realm of ideological warfare, it sets two rival American strategic belief systems against each other—but with a twist. In one corner stand traditional conservatives, represented today by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. In the other stand the transnational progressives associated with Barack Obama and Joe Biden. But this corner is crowded: Alongside them are influential isolationist figures such as Tucker Carlson and restraint-oriented institutions such as the Cato Institute and Defense Priorities, which routinely repeat the same arguments, often verbatim.
Why does the isolationist right stand shoulder to shoulder with the globalist left? Along with a common set of enemies in Trump and Netanyahu, the progressives and America Firsters share a dislike for American global leadership and the use of military force, and therefore they both excuse the behavior of America’s enemies while blaming it for any conflict. When it comes to interpreting Trump’s foreign policy and its results, the two groups often function as one.
Okay, enough already with the excerpting. Definitely read every word of this one, people, it’s a good ‘un.
Mayor Mammyjammy says, like he has the least inkling.
Mamdani Unveils Innovative Plan to Tax New Yorkers to Pay for Their Low-Cost Groceries
Comrade Zohran Mamdani, the Communist Twelver-Shi’ite Mayor of New York, on Tuesday unveiled his plan for government-run grocery stores as if they were actually a good thing. Dear Mayor, who always has the best interests of The People at heart, has set aside $70 million for this foray into government-sanctioned theft and redistribution, and says that this exercise in vote-buying and making people dependents of the state will be operational in late 2027. So there’s something to look forward to, at least if you’re in the habit of collecting signposts on the highway to civilizational destruction.In full socialist states, high walls and guards with machine guns keep the productive people from fleeing, and the threat of the gulag keeps them working. In Mamdani’s New York, the productive people will grow tired of paying for everyone’s groceries, and will leave the city. Unless Mamdani can figure out a way to tax everyone who has ever lived in New York City, his socialist grocery stores will fail.
Mamdani, however, is all for trying the socialist “experiment” again anyway, despite unanimously negative results. “New York City,” he said with grandiose ebullience, “it is time for a grand experiment once again, just as LaGuardia used government to respond to the challenges of the Great Depression, we will use government to respond to rising prices and unaffordable groceries.”
It’s time for the socialist experiment again? Really? Millions killed and millions more in the gulags weren’t enough? The killing fields of Democratic Kampuchea weren’t enough? The failed economies of the entire Soviet bloc weren’t enough? This is like doing a basic science experiment for the umpteenth time and wondering if it will come out differently this time: will the boiling water not become steam this time? No, the same thing will happen that happened all the other times. Socialism will fail again.
Mamdani explained: “Now, here’s how it works. The city will subsidize a core set of staples. A private operator will run the store, but the answer to the standards that the city will set these standards include requirements that at our stores, bread will be cheaper, eggs will be cheaper, grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable equation, and workers will be treated with dignity.”
That’s swell, but here is how it works also: The stores will quickly run out of the low-cost items, as the demand will far exceed the supply. After all, who doesn’t want free stuff? There will be long, long lines to get virtually anything at these stores, and after they run for a while, those who are paying for them will go broke or leave the city or both, and they will collapse. If you’re skeptical about this, note that this was exactly what happened to city-run grocery stores in Kansas City, and much of it happened also in New York City itself when a private firm ran a week-long experimental low-cost grocery store back in February.
Not one of these collectivist/authoritarian/totalitarian jackwagons ever seems to be at all interested in asking the most obvious, common-sensical questions of themselves as regards their proven-failure program. Why, one might almost conclude they’re frightened to death of the answers or sumpin’.
STRONG HINT: Don’t let’s anybody get sidetracked or distracted by blockades, negotiations, or other pointless pettifoggery. There remains one, and only one, correct answer to the nagging Iran question, and it’s been the same for nigh on fifty (50) years. To wit:
To Blockade or Not Blockade, That Is the Question. But There’s Only One Answer: REGIME CHANGE.
We’ve gone from 4D chess to 4D blockades.Will it work?
The New York Post says yes: “Trump Brilliantly Calls Iran’s Bluff — With His Own Strait of Hormuz Blockade”
Bloomberg says no: “The Hormuz Blockade Is a Throwdown the U.S. Can’t Win”
Question for the readers: Which outlet is right and which one is wrong?
Answer from the writer: Yes.
The New York Post is correct: Trump’s blockade of a blockade deprives Iran of profiting from ransom payments and/or selling any oil, thus increasing its economic suffering. It weakens one of the mullah’s biggest bargaining chips.
If you assume that Iran is negotiating in good faith, weakening the mullahs’ bargaining position makes tactical sense.
But Bloomberg is also correct: It’s extraordinarily unlikely that Trump can blockade his way to victory, especially in the short term. More likely than not, the blockade would have to last months — if not years — to bear fruit, and for a candidate who ran on the platform of “no more forever wars,” that’s not an attractive option.
Besides, the economic pain will be shouldered unevenly, with the nations that actually care about the welfare of their people screaming far louder than the mullahs. Iran doesn’t mind suffering — as long as everyone else suffers, too.
If you assume that Iran is negotiating in bad faith, a blockade of a blockade is an incremental tit-for-tat escalation that increases everyone’s pain points without bringing us any closer to a real solution.
In other words, it’s a waste of time.
Perhaps a smarter strategy is to hit the mullahs with a threat they dread far more than a blockade. I’m talking about the two words that have horrified Americans since the Iraq War of the early 2000s: regime change.
But not Iraqi-style regime change, where we plant U.S. soldiers overseas and try to build a new government from the ground up in a foreign land. That’s regime building, not regime change.
I simply mean smashing the current regime.
Under President George W. Bush, American foreign policy operated under the “Pottery Barn rule,” which meant, as Secretary of State Colin Powell explained, “If you break it, you own it.”
But why? What prevents us from breaking it and simply walking away?
What’s wrong with regime change WITHOUT regime building?
Egg-zackly, precisely so, and just what I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed the plan had been right from the start. Alas, with his useless “negotiations,” his unconvincing bluster about “destroying civilizations,” and now his “blockade of a blockade” strategery, Trump seems to be wandering farther and farther afield from the lone bone-simple solution that addresses all the concerns any sensible sort might have about the still-intact Mad Mullah regime: nuclear weapons; support for terrorism; menacing anti-American and -Israel with both rhetoric and physical action; the bloody suppression and/or mass murder of anti-regime protesters; et al ad nauseum.
It still shocks me that, after a fine start which saw a cpl/three waves of Ayatollahs righteously taken out by a shitstorm of High Explosive Death From Above, Trump inexplicably halted the bombing and floundered about in search of avenues more acceptable to the namby-pamby Jurassic Media consumers of the world, resulting in the continued survival of the selfsame Mullah goobermint which had started all the trouble way back in Jimmeh Peanuthead’s day.
I say again: if Trump pulls out, declares “victory,” and leaves any kind of entity called “the Islamic Republic of Iran” still intact behind him, then the whole misbegotten enterprise was a complete waste of time, money, materiel, and American lives. The Mullahs must go. There is no acceptable alternative—NONE.
According to my ex Suzie, who thanks to her cushy sinecure working for Meta is reliably quite knowledgeable about these matters, the Morehead City PD “tactical response” Weinermobile story is NOT real, being instead an April fools Day prank. The image itself, apparently, is an AI-generated fake. Which only serves to confirm once again the old adage which says that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
