The Artemis astronauts sent back still photos and video from their trip around the Moon and back. Here are some.

Guest Blogger: Iran War commentary from Grandpa Publius on Ricochet

I was impressed by this commentary from a friend over at Ricochet.com Member Feed. If you join Ricochet, you too can partake of the fabulous Member Feed. Highly recommended. Thirty five days ago, regime collapse was conspicuously, and wisely, not articulated as a military objective.   If it happened, great, but if it didn’t, so be it. …

*About that rescue of a downed pilot inside Iran. America Wins!

You will already be aware that the US and Israel are fighting a war with Iran, to ensure that they do not get nuclear weapons. Before now, we have basically decapitated their leadership and decimated their war-making capacity. But they still have assets that continue to shoot ballistic missiles (at Israel AND Muslim countries in …

This Story is VERY Important! Have you heard about the Drones over our Military Bases?

This story comes from HotAir.com, by David Strom, and includes X posts within it. It seems that military bases are being overflown by masses of foreign drones, and our military has not responded perhaps as forcefully as it should be. This is alarming! I will copy the verbiage from HotAir, and link to the X …

Smart Neighborhood. Public Safety Drones. Real Safety, or the beginnings of Smart City Open-air Prisons?

Yesterday, I noticed a story about a senior apartment complex in south Seattle, that was being renovated into a "Smart Neighborhood". This apartment complex has been around since the 1960s, and it started out as a "low-income" complex. We all know that those "low-income" apartments always suffer from lack of maintenance and that upgrades are …

Giving Aid and Comfort to the Enemy. Treasonous acts within America?

America is a huge country, with thousands of different affinity groups, races, religions, and political opinions. Most of those diverse groups have a megaphone, the Internet, where they can get their viewpoints out there for the public to read, learn, and interact with. Before the Internet, it took "snail mail" newspapers, pamphlets, and revival meetings …

Mr. Fuld is an Israeli who has been keeping close track of Israel's victories in the sky over Iran. Here, he has thanks for the IRGC, the elite "guards" of the Islamic "Republic". I would just like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to the IRGC. They have helped us these past …

*Delayed Reaction. Islamic Terror Attacks in the United States.

The reason I titled this post Delayed Reaction is that the Biden "administration" (scare quotes due to the fact that Biden had very little knowledge or control over his so-called presidency) purposely opened America's borders to an invasion of illegal migrants from around the world. We have indications now that they knowingly admitted terror sympathizers …

The Fog of War, a Case of Mistaken Identity

This past week, everyone has been aware of the US/Israeli war on the evil Islamic Dictatorship of Iran. The West has been in the process of destroying Iran's war-making capabilities, from taking out its air-defenses and its nuclear industry, to the smashing of Kharg Island, its oil export facility. But a little-known cyber incident has …

I have already told my readers that no part of this blog, except for some AI-generated memes, is made or edited by an AI program. This week, Amazon broadcast that they had laid off 2,600 software engineers, to be replaced totally by AI. Before they left, they were required to fully document everything they did, …
