Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.

the society of our southern states is thoroughly debased at this point, but people can learn one thing from southerners still:
DO NOT SHOW UP EARLY TO A DINNER PARTY.

It's disorienting living in the Wile E. Coyote portion of a country's life cycle. We ran off the cliff but haven't plummeted down yet. We're just now starting to hold up the big YIKES sign

RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER have not slowed the Iranian program nearly as much as the JCPOA. We hold diplomacy to much higher standards than bombing. The same people who endlessly complained about the JCPOA "sunsetting" are now happy to delay Iran's bomb by much less. 15/17

When they are arresting sitting mayors for legal protests of ilkigal kidnapping by the government you are well past the point where strongly worded letters or statements are going to do anything to stop this and you are going to have to put yourself on the line in the same way that that mayor did.

The failure of libertarians to pick the right side in this has exposed their whole thought system. A principled libertarian attack on limiting government overreach would be welcome at this time. Put no such thing exists. Libertarian just means selfish.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*
