  1. Facts.

    “The message of America’s new National Security Strategy is brutally simple: the geopolitical dispensation of 1945 is over.

    For the first time, Washington states openly what has been implicit for years: Europe is no longer a strategically privileged ward of the United States. The institutions and assumptions of the post-war order have decayed—and the bill for Europe’s illusions has arrived.

    Critics call the strategy a “right-wing narrative”. But remove the rhetoric and the core diagnoses remain deeply familiar to European analysts:

    – A continent fractured by internal security failures and political denial.

    – A demographic trajectory that erodes both economic vitality and defence capacity.

    – A steady, self-inflicted narrowing of free speech, born of the inability to name the forces that actually constrain it.

    – And above all: an elite that preferred soothing theories about Russian and Chinese convergence to a hard look at reality.

    What the U.S. now articulates—more bluntly than Europeans like—is simply this: the era of strategic dependency is over. A nation re-arming for great-power rivalry in the Indo-Pacific will not subsidise Europe’s security in perpetuity.

    This is not a break in the transatlantic bond. It is an overdue maturation. Europe must take responsibility for its own security—military, institutional, cultural.

    Polarisation, antisemitism, and democratic fatigue are no longer “domestic issues”. They are security concerns.

    World War II has finally ceased to be the organising frame of Europe’s security order.

    A new chapter begins—one that will test whether Europe can confront reality without illusion.:

  2. That’s just a few millions more that some here think we should not bother to look at. May all this be exposed. I don’t care what color anyone is or what party they belong to. It is all just another example why smaller government and closer government to the people is a good idea.

  3. Re-education camps are a staple of all communist regimes.

    Note which religion’s followers had their rights violated

    —-

    “Two Christian students and one Muslim student complained about a girl in the boys locker room.

    The Muslim boy wasn’t punished. The Christian boys were.

    “Loudoun County determined that these Christian, male students’ religious practice violated school policy, recasting constitutionally protected activity as ‘sex-based discrimination’ and ‘sexual harassment.’ As punishment, Loudoun County suspended the boys for ten days and ordered them to submit to a ‘Comprehensive Student Support Plan’ that further violates the boys’ right to free exercise of religion at school.””

    “Justice Department Sues Loudoun County for Violating Equal Protection of Christian Students

    “Students do not shed their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate,” said @AAGDhillon. “Loudoun County’s decision to advance and promote gender ideology tramples on the rights of religious students who cannot embrace ideas that deny biological reality.”

    “Here are just a few of the earmarks—totaling $5 BILLION—in the proposed “megabus” spending bill:

    $2,000,000 for a fish passageway in Rhode Island

    $2,000,000 for the AFL-CIO in Michigan

    $1,000,000 for the Atlanta Braves Foundation

    $750,000 for the Lincoln Center in Manhattan”

    And the cowards try to hide it until it passes.

    “2,880 earmarks totaling over $5B in the latest minibus — but Congress didn’t make them easy to find. 4 PDFs w/ 4 different layouts, not user-friendly. @NTUF converted them into spreadsheets so taxpayers can actually identify and tally the earmarks.”

    “I know I’m new to MAGA…

    But I expected the Democrats would try to block President Trump at every possible turn…

    …what I did not expect, AT ALL, was for the GOP to block him just as often and sometimes, even more

    Truly shocking.”

  7. And it will fail, because the #USELESSGOP has too many Chamber of Commerce shills who advocate for cheap illegal labor.

    “There is no constitutional right for illegal aliens to cross the border, have a child, and give that child U.S. citizenship.

    I have a bill confirming no child is eligible for citizenship if the parents are illegals.”
