The Perils of Ericka
Timothy Birdnow
Poor Ericka Kirk! Having watched her husband gunned down simply for believing in God and his country she now had to witness another assassination attempt.
She was sobbing as she was led away from the White House Correspondent's Dinner after the attempt on President Trump's life.
Watch it here.

Major Drone Theft Sparks National Security Concerns
One has to wonder if there is any connection to the huge drones seen over New Jersey and other places last year. The government denied these were anything but hobbiest drones, but eye witnesses vehemently disagreed.
Timothy Birdnow
Tlhis can't be good!
FBI Probes Theft Of 15 Agricultural Spray Drones In New Jersey As Iran War Heightens Bioterror Fears
Such drones would be a dandy way to deliver a biological or chemical weapon.
FTA:
Fifteen agricultural spray drones were stolen from a New Jersey location last month in what the FBI is treating as a sophisticated, possibly coordinated theft, according to reporting by national security journalists Jack Murphy and Sean D. Naylor at The High Side. The case is unsolved. Retired FBI agent Steve Lazarus told the outlet the bureau is "freaked out for a good reason,” warning that the machines are "industrial sprayers designed to carry and disperse significant amounts of liquid quickly and with precision.”
If this is the Iranians we could wind up with some very bad things happening soon.
Also, government regulations make replacement of such drones nigh unto impossible, and the legal owners are now in dire straits as they bought them out of need and now have none. Fear of such drones being used as weapons led to a near ban on them.
Fifteen drones disappearing suggests more than simple theft. Each weighs up to 150 lbs and they are large enough that it would take a substantial truck to take them.

From Cal Tech to Nasa to a Jail Cell
Timothy Birdnow
The attempted assassin at the White House Correspondent's Dinner was a Cal Tech grad and former NASA intern!
Carolina@realCarola2HopeWait…
The shooter, Cole Thomas Allen, went to Caltech, one of the hardest, most elite universities in the world.
Only extremely brilliant students get in.
He was a NASA intern in 2014, working on AI models for mapping planets.And now he’s… a school teacher?
From rocket scientist-level work to this?
Something feels very off.
Could this be an MKUltra-style program?
Programmed asset?
The trajectory makes zero sense.
BTW Wolf Blitzer gives an interesting account of the incident. This should put to rest the "false flag" claims.
But you know it won't. And no doubt the Left will make a hero of the assassin (which will only help the Republicans in the midterms.)
Oh, the guy was "Teacher of the Year" in California...

Bluesky - Assassination Attempt a "False Flag"
Timothy Birdnow
Uh, one of the Secret Service agents was shot, although he's expected to recover. I guess Trump paid him to take a bullet while wearing his bulletproof vest, eh?
I can understand why Bluesky would think that; that is how they would do such things.
BTW Cole Allen, the shooter, was a public school teacher in California and was awarded Teacher of the Year last year in the sundown state.
Why do the Blueskiites think Trump staged this? To detract from the Epstein files.
These idiots don't even have any imagination. The Epstein files have been out for some time and there is nothing tying Trump to the pedophile. If there WERE anything at all tying Trump to these files the Democrats would have long since leaked it.
They know from their own forum the kind of seething rage they have for President Trump and that many of them would murder Trump if they thought they could get away with it. Yet here we are, attempt #3 on Mr. Trump's life, and somehow it was staged to cover up for the Epstein files.
The Blueshites are completely insane, and worse, full of Satanic rage.
Oh yeah; this guy's online profile shows him to be a radical leftist and he hated Trump. He was checked into a hotel in D.C., so he clearly came just to assassinate the President.
I heard Shannon Bream, Fox News Sunday anchor who was at the event, explain that he could have murdered dozens if he had chosen to shoot people waiting in line but he wanted to actually kill just one person - the President.
How he got firearms past the Secret Service and other security suggests that the SS is STILL the Keystone Cops and in serious need of reform.

Why I Oppose Criminalizing Abortions (for Now)
Timothy Birdnow
Should we have criminal charges for abortion?
David French, the Establishment dufus, was on a podcast by Alice Beth Stuckey where he railed against her for "lacking empathy" as she wrote a book about toxic empathy and how we are misplacing our care for others. French wants to be part of the liberal empathy movement.
Stuckey favors criminalizing abortions. I don't think she's wrong in her arguments; if a preborn baby is a human life then it is entitled to the same protections as a born baby - or the mother. Abortion is a great moral evil and it needs to go.
But in one of my rarer moderate positions I disagree with going for gold right now. It is politically untenable and will derail any chances of making any headway in this direction at this time.
Ordinarily my viewpoint is "do the right thing and the politics will follow" but in this case we have to take baby steps. The Supreme Court just overturned Roe V. Wade and it's going to take a full generation to get over that. Youngsters today will grow up with this as the law and then we can push again, but if we try to bite too much now we are going to spur a backlash that will hurt the cause.
The Left worked for years, decades behind the scenes to get abortion on demand and we are going to have to do likewise to end it. We need to start with simple restrictions, like no abortion after the second trimester, then no abortion after the first. Aborted babies will need to be treated like dead children and not waste matter. That means laws requiring dignified burials and whatnot. We need to pass laws making abortion mills illegal; you have to go to a hospital for an abortion. Slowly we need to chip away at the more radical parts of the abortion scheme and squeeze the life out of it eventually, anaconda like.
I know there is a lot of death going on and it's a horrible thing but Rome wasn't built in a day. We are in no position now to criminalize abortion and ignite a flurry of activism against our side, not yet. That would simply be killing the move to end abortions.
We could start by banning the abortion pill; that would help a lot.
I HATE to agree with David French but in this one instance I do, albeit for very different reasons than the big powderpuff Frecnch.
Overreach will lead to political losses and we cannot afford that right now. Like any good military commander knows, preparation is the key to success, not so much what you do on the battlefield if you go off half-cocked.

Illegal Alien Attacks Three Year Old, Eats Part of Her Face
Timothy Birdnow
An illegal alien in San Antonio tried to bite the face off a three year old girl in an act of cannibalism. The scumbaglien had been arrested prior but the Biden DOJ simply let him go.
D. Scott @eclipsethis2003@eclipsethis2003Illegal alien Atharva Vyas—arrested in San Antonio TX for an unprovoked attack, punching a mother in the face, then ripping her 3-year-old daughter out of her arms, biting & then eating the child’s face.
These are the aliens who make America stronger? Who bring peace and light?
This guy had been arrested prior at the University of Texas for assault but the Biden Administration decided it was not an egregious enough crime - even though he was an illegal alien to begin with - to warrant deportation.
So now poor little Amelia Perez has to go through her life with a nasty scar on her face (and some missing teeth, although new ones will come) to pay for the political posturing of the last Administration. And her mother (Gabrielle) has to see her baby disfigured and afraid and angry.
This is shameful.
This freakout was brought to you by Wax, a kind of super-strong marijuana, which Hannibal Vyas had been imbibing prior to his feeding frenzy.
This guy needs to be deported to the worst hellhole we can get to take him, and, in the words of the warden in The Shawshank Redemption "put down with the sodomites. You'll do the hardest time imaginable".
It's too bad the men who restrained this animal didn't beat him halfway there, as happened to one of the sodomites in Shawshank and the guy had to be in a wheel chair for the rest of his life and eat through a tube.)
This is what the Democrats have given America. Who would ever consider voting for them again?

Another Attempt on President Trump's Life
Timothy Birdnow
If at first you don't succeed...
This is the third attempt on Mr. Trump's life and we need to see the first assassin executed; that will make people think twice.
This is also the fault in no small part of the news media, which has stirred things up to fever pitch. For instance, shortly before the attack a journalist on CNN said President Trump "wants us dead". (This was the once conservative C.E. Cupp - more of a B cupp if you ask me - who used to be on Fox News but moved to CNN after being infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome.) This is guaranteed to get the less stable members of the Democratic Party (which means most of rhem) to look to take a shot at the man they believe is Hitler. Hitler is an odd guy given he has done nothing remotely like Hitler; where are the camps? Why aren't Democrats being assassinated or arrested? Why do idiot journalists like this guy walk around loose? If Trump were Hitler all of that would be happening.
So they have tried yet again to murder the President. We've got to get serious about this. Eventually one of them will get lucky and Mr. Vance will be sworn into office. While I like Vance he's not Trump and I don't know if he'll be able to survive what they did to Trump when they try to do it to him.
THIS is what the Left has done to America. We once were known for our genius to compromise, to pull together over some things. No more. If you can't agree that political violence must not be tolerated you no longer have a functioning country.

A Poke in the Isotope
Timothy Birdnow
I got into it with a clown on Facebook who says we "know without a doubt" that we've filled the atmosphere with industrial carbon dioxide and that we're all going to die. I asked how he knew that and he trotted out the old trope about atmospheric carbon isotopes. The theory, pushed by the IPCC, says that our emissions are of the lighter c12 isotope and C13, and 14 are reducing in the atmosphere, thus proving it's all our faults and we're all going to die and we deserve to. Here was my reply:
I think you are the one who needs to keep up. Carbon 12 accounts for 98.9% of atmospheric carbon dioxide with another 1.6% of carbon 13. Your argument is that carbon 12 levels have increased in the upper atmosphere and that "proves" climate change is caused by Man and is warming the Earth (both assumptions you cannot necessarily make; correlation is not causality). But is that the case? The reality is the Earth's albedo has been decreasing and there is more plant growth. we don't know for sure if the new plant life on Earth is respirating in the same fashion that old growth does, as just one possible example.
In fact there are a number of natural phenomenon that mimic the "signature" of which you speak so glibly. https://climatechangedispatch.com/new-evidence-questions-co2-role-carbon-cycle/
Permafrost melting releases carbon dioxide low in c14 and c13, as does the weathering of sedimentary rocks and it is entirely possible upwelling from the oceans releases similar isotopes. In fact, a study of ice cores showed no change in isotopic ratios since the Little Ice Age. https://www.mdpi.com/2413-4155/6/1/17
So once again you guys jump to conclusions with inadequate evidence and believe you have a "smoking gun" when in reality what you have is a theory that may or may not have some scientific validity. It was a nice try though.

The Man in the Watchtower
Timothy Birdnow
This from Liz Wheeler:
"If I told you that there was one man thwarting a coup attempt on the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, who do you think this Superman is?
@DataRepublican revealed the true reason Pete Hegseth has been targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup—he's holding back a legitimate color revolution effort by the deep state:
"Pete Hegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by Liz Wheeler. Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat.
They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't..."
"This is not my theory. This is theirs.
Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan — the two most cited scholars in the color revolution field — studied 323 regime change campaigns. Their finding:
Security force defections make campaigns FORTY-SIX TIMES more likely to succeed."
46 times more likely.
So in other words, in order for this color revolution to be successful, they must have a Secretary of War that they can control.
The reality that Pete Hegseth, of all people, is standing between this color revolution effort being successful at toppling Trump, I think most of us would not have guessed that the day that President Trump announced Pete Hegseth as his nominee for Secretary of War."

The Power of the Sword to Punish Evildoers
Timothy Birdnow
Another day another papal tennis shoe in mouth.
At least this time he's on more solid ground as this is not just his personal opinion but rather his interpretation of Church teaching.
It's not a matter of Faith and Morals and the Church used to say executions of very bad criminals was acceptable but the last half dozen or so Popes have taught that capital punishment is wrong because it ends a person's chance to repent (of course facing death may force repentence where life in prison may not, but who am I to quibble?)
Read the history of Catholicism's opposition to capital punishment here.
Loopy Leo of course had to step in when the government announced it was bringing back death by firing squad.
There are many moral arguments for the practice. Justice requires it for one thing, on occasion. While Christians are to practice mercy the state is "given the power of the sword to punish evildoers" as stated by Paul in Romans IV. HE clearly didn't have a problem with it. We shouldn't be handing out death penalties willy-nilly (like the British used to do in the old days - you could be hanged for being homosexual or for stealing food) but there are some crimes where the only form of justice available is execution.
Another reason is the one stated above; it may be the only way to compel someone to repent. In that regard executing them is a kindness because the shock of it is the last chance and forces the evil person to confront his or her life.
Then there are pragmatic reasons; how many more murders, rapes, acts of torture and cruelty are there today when we rarely impose the death penalty compared to when we did impose it? Those numbers have risen dramatically since we quit using old sparky and yet nobody wants to mention the obvious. Even if the death penalty only takes one life it takes one evil person off the streets for good - and we no longer have to pay for that scumbag, give him food and clothes and a warm bed. But the reality is that fear of the death penalty helped to limit crime because people would control themselves when faced with so ignominious an ending.
Western Civilization is crumbling, falling apart and being absorbed by people who never did end the death penalty. Coincidence? I don't think so.
But, but, but, ... it was misused and innocent people - especially black men - were executed! That is true and that is why we instituted Civil Rights legislation in the first place. But now it takes a series of appeals to finally meet the grim dripper and there is little chance the guy who is being executed was falsely accused. When in doubt juries always give a lesser punishment.
I am not only in favor of the death penalty but I think it should be public, and perhaps you should be able to see it on some sort of media. People need to know it's happening and so learn that there are moral lines that may not be crossed.
Here are a few passages from Scripture favoring the death penalty:
"Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.” – Genesis 9:6
"Anyone who strikes a person with a fatal blow is to be put to death.” – Exodus 21:12
Numbers 35:30
"Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer, by the testimony of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.” – Numbers 35:30
"For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.” – Romans 13:4
"When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.” – Proverbs 21:15
I could go on but you get the point. Many crimes were dealt with via execution in the Old Testament, usually by stoning.
But we think we've evolved past that now when in fact we have DEVOLVED, and it shows in the chaos and violence of our oh-so-enlightened societies. NOT executing a murderer or evil person is the real act of violence.
Of course the punchy Pontiff has a cartoon version of the world, how it works, and of God's Justice. So many liberal Christians see only the Mercy and never the Justice. But God is all just as well as all merciful and if HE says we need to do it who are we to think we know better?
We're Pope Leo, that's who.

GOP Losing the SAVE
Timothy BIrdnow
After years of complaining about FISA and warrantless wiretaps and searches suddenly the GOP is all in for the wretched thing to be reauthorized.
And Rep. Luna and others want to tie it to the SAVE America Act so that if we get stuck with it at least we get something for our troubles. But the usual suspects are having none of that.
Thomas Massie, for instance, wants two "clean" bills and he is not so stu;id as to not know how that will turn out - we'll get FISA and not get the SAVE. He knows it too. (I've had it with Thomas Massie and his McCainian machinations.)
Rep. Tim Burchett posted on X:
CSPAN@cspan.@RepTimBurchetton possible FISA extension: "I think all the safeguards that we put in place will be stripped. It worries me because we complained about it under the Biden administration, now all of a sudden, all these things are going to be okay. I just don’t buy that."
And indeed FISA was used to try to take Donald Trump out of the game and yet Mr. Trump has now endorsed the reauthorization. I don't know what's wrong with Trump sometimes. (Well, I do; he listens to people he ought not sometimes.)
So we probably won't get voter I.D. but will get stuck with another three years of government power to spy on Americans. And this because our heroes in Congress have their headquarters where their hindquarters should be.

The Oily Bird Gets the Worm; the Cuckoo Clock is Ticking
Timothy Birdnow
The blockade is starting to really hurt Iran:
Itanis running out of space to store the oil that is backing up and they don't know what to do with it. If they cut back production they will have a hard time restarting it and the wells will be less productive. So they dare not cut back on production but they have nowhere to go with all the oil. It's a beautiful trap they are in.
President Trump ought to order this supertanker be hit to deny them the opportunity.
The Iranians trotted the Nasha, an old wreck in a mainland port and moved it to Khrarg island for filling. The supertanker holds 2 million barrels at capacity. This is expected to buy them 48 hours. They shouldn't be moving ANYTHING in the Persian Gulf at this time. Trump is making a mistake in respecting the cease-fire, considering the Iranians attacked a couple of ships in the Gulf after the cease-fire took effect.
We should have taken out Kharg island two or three weeks ago.
There is no reason why we shouldn't sink the Nasha en route. In fact I would do it by stealth, sabotaging it from below water. The Iranians would know it but we could play dumb "gee, it was so old it just sunk".
If Iran has to shut down a number of wells it is expected to lead to a drastic reduction in oil output - 300,000 to 500,000 barrels per day - and that would be permanent as oil wells, once shut down, never come back with the same capacity. Water gets into them, and with the pressure relieved on the pool of oil underground it becomes harder to pump out.
So this can completely destroy the Iranian economy and the Iranians are desperately trying to find a way to hold on and are hoping to reach the 90 day mark when the War Powers Act kicks in. Sadly Congress probably will force Trump to end the war at that point and Iran knows it.
IF we can stay the course we will win this. Unfortunately all the Democrats and enough cowardly Republicans will vote to enforce the War Powers Act and strip Trump of the authority to win the war.
We have to get this done now. The clock is ticking.

Who Wants to Date a Bitch?
Timothy Birdnow
This was inevitable. Angry young bitches, er, women are forcing young men into chasing older gals.
Why would a young fellow seek the company of someone who makes it clear she hates him? Who demands complete subservience?
Liberals have raised a whole generation of young women who have been told all the world's evils and their personal problems are caused by men and that they would be happier if they didn't have any. But that's not how God made us and pushing men away in this fashion only makes them more miserable, which sadly makes them double down on the very thing that has cursed them in the first place.
It's like alcoholism; the alcoholic's first response to any problem caused by his drinking is to get another drink.
Feminism has made women angry, selfish, belligerent, sullen, and plain old nuts. Who wants to be around that?
Men have been told they are dirtbags, plain and simple, and that they should go away and die. Why continue to feed that sort of thinking?
There's no girl like an old girl!
The battle of the sexes has gone on throughout history, starting with Eve's jealousy of Adam. But until now the women have been at a disadvantage because they were weaker physically and often psychologically. Technology solved the former and feminism has not made women stronger, but women always had more fortitude than men and now with internet access and higher eduction favoring women they have the networks to make them THINK they are stronger than men psychologically. (Actually, most feminists are in desperate need of constant validation and emotional support, and they think they get that from other feminists and with the internet and other instant communications they stay in contact with their "handlers", being constantly reinforced.)
So now the bile and hatred of the feminists is boiling over. Anger is one of those emotions that grow when you feed it. The feminists have been feasting at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
At any rate women in their fifties are in high demand on internet dating sites by young men in their thirties who are desperate for some gentle and tender female companionship. It was as inevitable as the sun rising.
It's a golden age for the old gals (and sadly bodes ill for me, a newly single man in his early sixties). It also bodes ill for the United States of America as our population will decline; old women generally don't have children. And what man wants to sire a child with one of these wicked witches in their twenties?
Our population, especially the white population, will decline in the coming years.
Which makes me wonder; one of the big goals of the liberals in America since the '70's has been to reduce the population by hook or by crook. Did they purposely gin up the war between the sexes to reduce childbirth? Maybe so. The neo-Malthusians are not above such subterfuge
I would add that interracial dating has been ongoing for a long time and it started mainly because black men couldn't stomach many of the angrier black women and sought to find a woman who would treat him well and not like he's an idiot or loser. White men are now enjoying the same situation and the result will be similar to what happened in the black community with a dearth of marriageable men and a loss of fathers. The Left, while using different methods, twisted the black community in this direction and now they are twisting the white community in the exact same way.
At any rate the Cougar phenomenon is real and there is a good reason for it. No man wants to date a bitch.

New Form of Light Sail
In my best Mr. Spock voice with one raised eyebrow "fascinating!"
Photon drives are an old idea that go back to the invention of lasers, certainly. But there was no practical way to do them before now.
A photon drive uses light as the propellant for a super-efficient, low thrust spacecraft drive. Light moves at, well, the speed of light which creates an equal and opposite reaction, thus moving a spacecraft (just as the plasma from a standard rocket does). But because photons are massless they produce little thrust (thrust is a coefficient of mass expelled times rate of expulsion). The thing about a photon drive is, while you get low thrust, you can keep the drive running the entire trip, turning the ship around midway to decelerate. Most spacecraft drives burn until a desired velocity is reached then shut down because otherwise you would exhaust all your propellant.
The problem with the photon drive is it still requires you carry your fuel with you.
Then there were light-sails. Light sails use a giant reflective mirror as a sail, catching light from either the sun or a ground-based laser to push it along. Light sails work; Nasa experimented with a small one not so long ago. They have to be huge, naturally, and would be gossamer thin. A light sail using a long range laser cannon could get to the Centari system in about a hundred and fifty years or so, with the cannon on continuously. It is a major commitment to build and maintain the cannon, of course. And the payload would be small - you couldn't put people on it, not without suspended animation.
This is a whole new approach to using light sails as a propulsion ststen. It uses metamaterials that can move in different directions when struck by light, rather than just move in one single direction.
The article states:
The team’s metajets are composed of metasurfaces. These are ultrathin materials etched with tiny patterns. In a similar fashion to a lens, these shapes allow scientists to control the behavior of light bouncing off the devices.
By carefully designing these structures, the scientists were able to control the transfer of momentum from light to an object. This allowed the object to move, showcasing a novel form of light propulsion.
[...]
The metajets differ from other systems in one key aspect; while other methods control objects by shaping the light, this approach builds control directly into the material itself.
According to the Texas A&M team, this allows for more flexible force generation and better scalability.
It's a LONG, LONG way from this to a working spacecraft drive.
However it is tantalizing; this is a much more efficient light sail system than what we are used to considering and could well be harnessed in future to an interstellar mission.
But I don't think an interstellar mission, even one manned by robot probes, will happen any time soon. Interstellar space has lots of debris and any light sail will wind up being chewed up by space ice, in all probability, and if speeds are high enough there will be a huge radiation problem as interstellar gas comes on as gamma radiation. And it would still take decades, meaning any manned mission would require suspended animation.
But it's still fun to see this stuff develop. While we may not go to another star with this technology we can use it here in the solar system and it would work fine! Imagine going to the outer solar system in just a year or so rather than a decade or more! We could eventually build colonies in the outer system and these kinds of ships could resupply them rather easily, unlike what it would take today.
Mankind will eventually burst out into the solar system at least at some point. We are an expansive species and if we don't expand we will decay and eventually die. And one accident, say, a big meteor, could wipe us out. The only safety we have is to settle space and to do that we need better propulsion systems than we currently possess. This is a promising one.

Won't Stop the Inevitable
Timothy Birdnow
So it's o.k. that Zelensky is doing this to Russia but Trump had better not do it to Iran?
This is, of course, a media propaganda piece about how the Ukrainians are winning the war. The media (and that includes war hawk Republican outfits like the New York Post) has been giving us these sorts of reports since this war began. Mostly it's been wrong.
Yes, the war has dragged on far longer than anyone expected but that is a coefficient of Western aid - huge amounts - to the Ukraine coupled with Russia's strategy, which is a war of attrition. Russia is trying to pull an anaconda on the Ukrainians, and that takes time.
Eventually Russia will win. The Ukrainians are losing so many people they are now talking about importing millions of Asians to resettle their country because they have no men left. When I read that I knew the war was starting to reach it's terminus.
The purpose of this article is to buck up the Ukrainian spirit, little more. But that doesn't mean it's not true; Russia has undoubtedly lost a fortune in this. But it won't stop the inevitable.
