Nikki Haley Reinvigorates The GOP’s Breathless TikTok Hysteria… For The Children
We’ve noted many times how the GOP’s obsession with TikTok is stupid, performative, and utterly hollow.

US Embarks On Proxy War Against Iran
A massive US naval deployment in a wide arc of the so-called Greater Middle East is under way — stretching from Crete in the Eastern Mediterranean, into the Red Sea and the Bab el Mandeb and into the Gulf of Aden and all the way into the Gulf of Oman. This deterrent display may transform as large scale offensive operations and aims to rework the geopolitical alignments and bring them back to the traditional grooves of intra-regional rivalries in the Gulf region.

Ukraine War Awareness: Cope Cages, etc
So, it’s very ironic that, when Israel, one of the most powerful militaries in the world, and definitely a regional super power, puts Anti-Drone Grenade Cages on their Merkava IV Tanks, I don’t see anybody on Twitter laughing.. And yet, the Israeli Armor still gets damaged, by tiny home-made quadrocopter drones.
So, why isn’t anyone from NAFO calling Israel “Cope Cages”? Israel is failing with Tanks against a much weaker opponent than Russian Tanks did in the first initial invasion wave in February 2022, so where’s the laughter on X, Reddit, and Twitter? Because it’s Anti-Russian BIAS for the SAKE of Anti-Russian Bias…
