Sometimes cranky, libertarianish, non-woke retired newspaper journalist on to new adventures. Cat herder. Retweets mean I think they are worth your time.

🚨 JUST IN — SEN. JOHN FETTERMAN: "I want to just remind, all of the media haven't seen the new Leader of Iran, not ONE SINGLE TIME. Not even his voice. You know, like, demand some proof of life!" "Look what Israel and America have accomplished. It's really remarkable! It's made

Hello Mr. Evans, Today, War on the Rocks published a "rebuttal" which disclosed the real-life identity of @CynicalPublius . What the article did not mention: you had already posted his name on Bluesky before the WOTR piece published. The WOTR article cited his being “already

As I have often pointed out, the administration deliberately conceals its direction of advance in OEF, like an NBA player faking and feinting to throw of the defense. There is a long list of "would never" actions that the administration has started, breaking every taboo, only to

Can the following reporters from the major cable news networks please confirm you were at today's Pentagon press briefing? Jim @Acosta still doesn't believe you were there. @LMartinezABC (ABC) @Ellee_Watson (CBS) @halbritz (CNN) @JenGriffinFNC (Fox) @JulesJester (MS NOW)
The major networks and news outlets were not participants in that Pentagon “briefing.” Lindell TV, One America News, Real America News all asked “questions.” This is happening in the United States. Fills you with confidence?

No, the First Lady of New York's support for terrorists isn't a private matter. My column in Sunday's @nypost:

Another Community Note. CNN is on a generational run here.
CNN ‘reporter’ intentionally misrepresents Hegseth’s comments, locks replies. What he actually said: "War is hell. War is chaos. And as we saw yesterday with the tragic crash of our KC-135 tanker, bad things can happen. American heroes, all of them." CNN is on a real heater.

Crazy thing. I knew that in the weeks ahead I would hit 300k followers and I had planned on thanking everyone when it happened. But getting doxxed moved that timeline up about two weeks! Putting that aside, a quick walk down memory lane. I started this account in 2016 because

How much money did Antifa International give you and what will you do with all the cash that has been raised to support the now-convicted Antifa terrorists?

Nine defendants accused of a July 4, 2025 ambush on a Texas ICE facility faced charges including providing support to terrorists and attempted murder of federal officers.
We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results. This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.
