We have today seen a 'perfect' example of blockade enforcement using the oldest technology available to the US Navy, the naval gun.
At this point, I am not going to rule out boarding a ship with cutlasses.
FAFO at every single level.
Can't wait to hear what this blockade runner was trying to get out of Iran!

According to this press release, the Iranian ship trying to run the blockade was engaged and disabled by a US Navy 5 inch gun.
This type of gun has been used by the Navy occasionally for air defence but has not been fired in anger, per Dr Grok, at another ship at sea since 1988.

That sets the geopolitical background into a plausible multigenerational period of relative peace and prosperity.
And what is coming domestically will be just as savage as what Iran got, albeit in a different style.

The Gulf, Straits included, are going to be secured by a coalition of the Petro-states, Pakistan, Israel, and the USA. China may be allowed a peripheral role. Europe's contribution in the near future is trivial anyway, and the only question for me is if this becomes an opportunity to normalise operations with Russia. An artful deal would leverage, rather than tear asunder, old relationships like Iran's with Cuba, China, etc.

1/?
In (hopefully) Wictor style, I delved into the Iran rescue story a bit.
It turns out that the aircraft called in after the C-130s got stuck was or included a US Air Force C295W. This is a twin engined turboprop aircraft, smaller than the C-130, which is optimised for SpecOps use. There's only ONE of these aircraft in the USA inventory!

Tuesday 8 pm. Deadline.
Either Iran is going to return to the Stone Age with its energy infrastructure reduced to ruin and needing years to recover, or the grid will be temporarily disabled with graphite filament munitions which can be cleared in a few days and the grid restarted.
In either case, this is the signal, the overt demand, for Iran's people, the Persians, to rise up & take their nation.
Failure in this regard will require the country to be crippled for a generation.
Serious stuff.

Trump took one of the most asthmatic, decaying, and totally underwhelming entities, the good old US Post Office, and instantly turned it into a razor-sharp weapon of mass conformance.

I have not yet been able to organise my thoughts after Trump's wild move today to secure elections. But you need to look at this.
Let's ignore the political theatre about the SAVE Act, the filibuster, etc. Let's ignore it because Trump certainly is, at least in any real terms apart from that theatre.

2026-03-28 01:33:00 UTC

Congressional do-nothingness, including the total departure for holidays, is looking increasingly like a very educational pretext for the declaration of an emergency by Trump, along with likely several Executive Orders. I'd expect at least a few juicy stories to break involving Democrat naughtiness of all sorts in the same time frame.

Israel has long lived in a reality where its relationship with the USA is utterly necessary for continued survival. No USA relationship, no Israel.
In this environment, is it at all surprising that Israel would exercise its ability to perfectly legally and openly register agents who enthusiastically lobby every American politician that they can?
I am confident that Israel has its own deep state. Its own kleptocratic layer, etc.

I have heard before and recently saw again that every member of the USA’s congress has an assigned “handler” from Israel and the implication is that this proves that Israel controls the USA.
In the first instance, if every member of congress has a handler, it implies that the control is pretty loose if such hands on treatment is needed.
But I take a different perspective.

So, critical safety first, and then larger programs that expel masses as efficiently as possible and set precedent for future prosecutions.
Since I can at least imagine one fairly obvious scenario under which I'd expect Trump to not yet be overtly going after employers, and I am sure there are others, I am not going to get upset (at the moment) that certain necessary steps for long term success have yet to manifest before me.

2026-01-28 17:36:34 UTC

4/?
I suspect that the final element associated with Trump's plans to flush the USA of illegals, will be the exposure and prosecution of a fair number of employers ,individual and corporate.
At that point unless they are living off of a purely criminal cash flow, they will be forced to leave (with minimum additional push to do so).

2026-01-28 17:36:18 UTC

- reply

3/?
The obviously missing element, the one that screams for attention, is indeed the issue of the employers of illegal aliens. Given that there are a LOT of very large companies that have exploited illegal aliens, the investigations associated therewith, especially if the goal is to hold individuals responsible for their actions, will be complex.

2026-01-28 17:36:03 UTC

- reply

2/?
But I agree that the issue of employers has to be addressed. As does the fraud and waste associated with programs that overtly or in secret divert taxpayer dollars to illegals.
And we see that fraud being exposed at the very same time that the worst of the worst are being swept up nationally.
Shutting down that fraud will flush out a bunch of aliens, criminal and self-deporting types, associated with or dependent upon that fraud. No more welfare, off they go.

2026-01-28 17:35:50 UTC

1/?
The immediate emergency, the sharpest threat to the safety of Americans is that of dangerous, violent illegal aliens. You may be tired of the fraud and waste, but that is nothing new. The legal rapist at the window? That is a NOW problem.
A whole bunch more illegals are going to self deport. They will recognise a good deal when they see it.

Watching the unified response to the shooting of the woman who drove at an ICE officer in Minnesota from local, state, and federal office holders suggests to me that this is the bugle's call. This is their neo-George Floyd moment. They are calling for insurrection, are about to pit National Guard vs Feds, are demanding troops ignore orders, etc.
They are taunting Trump.
And the Finding Out is nigh upon us.

Setting up academia such that there is no reward or prestige associated with a well-constructed experiment that proves the null hypothesis is a real problem.
There should be journals and prizes for null hypothesis results.
No wonder there's so much fake data out there.

"Trust the science" is an oxymoronic self-cancelling absurdity.

Lots of people on X still jabbering about 'trust the science'.
Science is just a method. A good one, but only a method nonetheless.
The trust comes in when one is talking about scientists.
And with corrupted peer review, funding distortions, and very rare replication, there are not many scientists that I am inclined to trust.

Oh, look. A massive tax fraud scheme in the kiwifruit industry in Bay of Plenty involving migrants (Mr Singh).
Article rightly complains about the lack of cooperation between IRD and Police, but leaves out, save for the mention of the whistleblower's name, the fact that it's immigration-related!

I think the delivered steak knives, in the form of radically lowered drug prices and USA manufacturing, connected pretty damn well with the proposed redirection of Obamacare subsidies directly to consumers. Republicans went from zero health care plane to a full roar in a mere 24 hours.

Marco Rubio's press conference was a tour de force and set a new high point for an American Secretary of State.

(I'm terrible at predicting Trump)

Prediction for Trump's announcement:
He's going to offer the USA the set of steak knives.
Or to put it another way, he's going to sweeten his offer from yesterday for American pocketbooks.
Dealmaker.

“Life-saving” and “gender-affirming” are mutually exclusive.

Just posted this:
"Venezuela is already defeated by the embargo. Done. No troops needed.
The cartels are about to get blown to kingdom come while the Maduro regime twists in the wind."
Trump, the dealmaker, offered the USA a deal, while clearly framing the serious circumstances of the moment. He spoke to the pocketbook.
If I was to place a bet, it'd be Trump giving America, the Americas, a Christmas present of seriously degraded cartels.

What do you all have on your bingo card for Trump's address?
My pick is an assertion of the Monroe Doctrine and his decision to act on that doctrine to destroy the cartels in Mexico, Central America, and South America.
There's been a lot of press on naval power being assembled in the Caribbean. Anybody heard much about the Pacific lately?
