🇺🇸 After 9 months at sea, USS Abraham Lincoln is finally heading home. The carrier left the Middle East yesterday with around 5,000 sailors aboard. Now they’ve got a 13,000-mile ride back to San Diego. Lincoln has been out for 272 days, spending almost all of it at sea while supporting U.S. operations against Iran. And yeah, it’s been a long one. There’ve been reports of supply shortages, water and plumbing problems and sailors struggling with the nonstop time at sea. USS George Washington has now taken over in the Middle East. Another 4 to 5 weeks and these guys are finally home. Long overdue. Source: The New York Times / Writer: Daniyal

Let’s talk about the facts of 9/11 on the 25th anniversary, in New York. The conference runs from the 10th of Sept. through the 13th. I’ll be speaking on the 10th—which is the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. I look forward to meeting many of you there!

[RG911Team] If just one of the 25 facts below is true, then we were lied to about 9/11. What does it mean if they are all true? 1) World Trade Center Building 7, a 47 story fireproofed steel skyscraper not hit by an airplane, collapsed in 6.5 seconds, including 2 seconds of

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Colonel Douglas Macgregor didn't hedge: the U.S. has already lost this war, and Washington just hasn't admitted it yet. The retired U.S. Army colonel and one of the most direct voices on this war, joined the show for a blunt read on where things actually stand: "The truth is, right now we are staring strategic defeat in the eye in the Persian Gulf. Let there be no mistake about it. We have been militarily defeated." Iran is reportedly asking for a transit fee of 5 to 7% on cargo through Hormuz, compared to 0.1 to 0.5% at the Suez Canal, alongside a new law barring hostile countries from the strait entirely. On what happens if Trump goes back in for one more round: "I think you're going to see every B-52, every B-1, every B-2... and he'll give it one more shot, because I don't think he can do the other thing, which is simply be rational and say, hey, we got this wrong, so we're going to stop it." On the munitions timeline, he was blunt that full interceptor stockpiles won't be rebuilt until 2032 or 2033. A sharp, unflinching conversation about what losing actually looks like. Appreciate you coming on, @DougAMacgregor

🇺🇸 The U.S. military is facing a problem that cannot be solved with a simple order to build more weapons. Precision missiles are not like tanks or aircraft from World War II. They require highly specialized production lines, skilled technicians, and years of industrial preparation. Col. Douglas Macgregor says the most worrying issue is not just the number of weapons already used, but the vulnerability created by depleted interceptor stocks. Once those defenses run low, there is no quick replacement. "We don't have what we need. We have some of what we need. We don't have all of what we need." @DougAMacgregor

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Col. Douglas Macgregor says the Iran war was never a case of Washington misunderstanding the risks. He claims Trump was aware that Iran could become a long, costly conflict with consequences reaching far beyond the battlefield. The question now, Macgregor argues, is

@angertab if your definition of ‘traitor’ is ‘people who disagree with me on X dot com,’ you might want to step away from the app and touch some actual Constitution.

You have publicly labeled Colonel Douglas Macgregor and General Michael Flynn as traitors. Both men dedicated decades of their lives to the service of the United States. Their records are not defined by slogans or social media attacks, but by years of military leadership, sacrifice, and commitment to this nation. They have consistently argued for a strong, capable military while warning against policies they believe unnecessarily place American service members at risk. You may disagree with their judgment, but disagreement is not treason. Before calling decorated veterans traitors, ask yourself a simple question: What standard are you using? If men who have devoted their lives to defending this country are traitors, then what, in your view, defines a patriot?

Something is at war with us, “us” being regular citizens who want things to work and to be left alone. We’re slow to react because we think in terms of nations. Our enemies are mafias that wear our governments like a cloak to defeat our eyes, and fly our flags to disarm our minds

This couldn’t be more important. The 2nd Amendment is about fighting tyrants, but guns are insufficient given the what is foreseeable from the event horizon we’re crossing.

The military that we were assured had been totally destroyed killed two of our boys yesterday. So much winning.

Larry Sanger named and led Wikipedia in 2001, and he has now been permanently blocked from the site. Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying discuss how Wikipedia has become an ideological racket rather than an encyclopedia, but we need an encyclopedia. @BretWeinstein explains, "Wikipedia is a mess. It's a mess of multiple kinds, one of which would be expected. Obviously, an encyclopedia that is written in the way that Wikipedia is written is going to have errors in it. The nice thing about it would be that they should be self-correcting. But there's obviously something much more sinister going on at Wikipedia..."

Motivation is the key to life—for all creatures. Whether it’s plants reaching for the sun, or man reaching for the stars, drive is non-negotiable. But humans have a problem: The technology of family planning has broken us. We must fix ourselves, our perish. That’s the choice.

This is unAmerican, and very foolish. America and the West are the only viable answer. Let’s go back to getting along. We were well on our way before dark forces stepped in and amped up the ancient circuitry you’re now driven by—assuming of course you’re to be taken at your word. x.com/libertasredux/…

Happy Birthday America! To me, the greatest nation on Earth. 250 years of loudly arguing our way toward a more perfect union 😂 We're in this together, I love you all! ❤️ PS: World Cup has been amazing. US in the round of 16, LFG! Also, I'm a long-time huge fan of Argentina and Messi, but Cape Verde vs Argentina was one of the greatest games I've ever seen. That is what the World Cup is all about!

Here's my conversation with Anthony Kaldellis about the deep history of the Roman Empire in the west and the east (the Byzantine Empire). This was a truly fascinating conversation with a lot of wisdom for the modern world and for the future of human civilization. The Roman state
