One Standard Deviation: How Israel Targeted Iran’s Top Air Force Leaders

Say hello to Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh and, while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye because, as Clemenza said of Paulie, you won’t see him no more: The commander of the IRGC [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] air force, Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Iran overnight, […]

‘An Earth-Shattering Kaboom’: Israel Wipes Out Top Iranian Military Leaders UPDATE: ‘Decapitation Strike’ — List

Wednesday I spoke to a colleague who said to me in a very matter-of-fact way that Iran was going to get hit soon. He isn’t some kind of security-clearance type, but he does have a few “sources close to the Trump administration,” as an Objective Journalist would say, and I don’t know how he knew […]

Sweden-Kampuchea Friendship Association 2.0: Illegal Immigrants Are the New Khmer Rouge or Something

Dana Pico was thrashing Philadelphia Inquirer liberal columnist Will Bunch, who loves Kilmar Abrego Garcia more than he loves his own mother, and it got me thinking about the utterly reflexive nature of left-wing politics. Liberals see the world as a great dramatic conflict between the Forces of Evil (Republicans generally, and Donald Trump specifically) […]

Blast From the Blogging Past: Saint Pancake and the Anti-Israel Cause

Certainly it is not a coincidence that Elias Rodriguez is being compared to Rachel Corrie and Aaron Bushnell by a slew of social media accounts. When people are part of an activist hive-mind, participating in a propaganda campaign on behalf of a terrorist organization, one does not expect originality in their rhetoric. As I’ve been […]

Ain’t I Done Told Y’all? Democrats Pushed Zelenskyy to Sabotage White House Deal

Note the time and date on that, please — shortly after 5 p.m. ET on Friday, I shared my suspicion that the real reason why that White House meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned into a s***show was that Zelenskyy had been encouraged by Democrats to “pull that stunt,” and now my hunch has been validated: […]

Zelenskyy Self-Destructed, So Why Are Media Acting Like Trump Is to Blame?

The deal was all settled. On Thursday, the basic terms of a mineral-rights treaty had been agreed upon, and Friday’s Oval Office meeting was supposed to be a formality — a handshake, a meet-and-greet with the media. For some reason, however, Volodymyr Zelenskyy decided he should start an argument in front of the cameras. It […]

Zelenskyy Gets Pimp-Slapped on Live TV by Trump in White House Meeting UPDATE: Lindsey Graham Blames Zelenskyy for ‘Complete, Utter Disaster’

“Pimp-slapped,” metaphorically speaking, of course. This event has astonished the world. When it happened, my office TV was tuned to Fox News, but I immediately switched over to MSNBC to see how they were reacting and . . . Well, it would be wrong to say it’s driven them crazy, as they’ve been non compos […]

The Future of Gaza is Neu Schwabenland

— compiled by Wombat-socho We interrupt your normal evening linkagery for an important post about the current geopolitical situation. Your normal linkagery will resume in the morning. Silicon Valley et Hamas delenda sunt. Our God-Emperor, Donaldus Trump Magnus, has decreed the creation of Mar-A-Gaza on the currently rubble-strewn land called the Gaza Strip. To do […]
