U.S. Prepping for an Earth-Shattering Kaboom in the Middle East? Stephen Green Here we go again: "Heightened security risks" in the Middle East have Iraq embassy staff and dependents preparing to evacuate the country, according to State Department officials. A Pentagon official said that SecDef Pete Hegseth also "authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the Middle East." Reuters's sources "did not specify which security risks had prompted the decision and reports of the potential evacuation pushed up oil prices by more than 4%." https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2025/06/11/us-prepping-for-middle-east-bugout-n4940704#google_vignette

Yeah, there have been hints dropped all day. We'll see.

Exactly. The 250th anniversary of the United States, also known as the Semiquincentennial, will be celebrated on July 4, 2026, the date of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The year-long America250 initiative, launched officially on Memorial Day 2025, will involve various events and activities to commemorate this historic milestone. Will you grouse about the 'cost' in 2026 also ?

Well, yes. Now, comprehend.......................that's a whole other matter. .

Well it's not like Roundy would have read anything about the framework agreement before he posted his usual crap.

Clueless just doesn't cover it.

Evil still exists.

Harvey Weinstein ? The democrat fundraising Hollywood liberal pervert ? That Harvey Weinstein ? Wow are you reaching.............................

You can almost feel the letdown in the Times' post about the news: Strange way of saying “we were wrong”

Pretty much what Obama and Clinton said.

Newsom just digging farther and farther

President Trump's entire 2024 election campaign was built on many issues, but overall, most of them boiled down to just two words: America First. In November, voters overwhelmingly responded to this message and delivered a resounding victory for Trump. The legacy media, however, never understood America First, not even a little bit. It's part of the reason that they have completely lost touch with the American people. Because the media still believes in globalism and never once believed in American exceptionalism. These facts have been highlighted throughout President Trump's immigration and deportation policies, which have been brought into sharp focus this week as the President has ordered the National Guard and the Marines into Los Angeles to quell the violent uprising taking place against ICE and law enforcement. And while Democrats and the media are trying to blame Trump for all of these problems, his approval ratings across America have never been higher. Maybe no media headline underscores their complete disconnect with the American people -- and their total loss of trust and credibility -- than the one we saw yesterday from the ABC Los Angeles affiliate, ABC7 Eyewitness News. Check it out: Umm ... OK. And they think this is a bad thing? The funny part about this post from ABC7 is that it is not only disconnected from the vibe shift in America, but it is also disconnected from the article it links to. The article is not an op-ed or a commentary piece from a leftist 'journalist,' it is just a series of live updates on the ground in Los Angeles. https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2025/06/11/who-wants-to-tell-em-la-abc-affiliate-laments-there-are-more-troops-there-than-iraq-and-syria-n2414097

Military parade in DC: Here's what to know A massive military parade in D.C. will celebrate the Army's 250th birthday on June 14, which also falls on President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. On Memorial Day, Trump spoke about the upcoming parade, saying, "We're going to have a great time; we are going to have a great celebration." Expect big crowds, traffic and travel disruptions, fireworks, an airshow and displays of troops and tanks rolling down D.C. streets. What will attendees see at the Army parade in DC? Since it was announced, the parade has grown in scope and participation. The evening parade will involve thousands of troops marching in formation, wearing uniforms representing every U.S. conflict dating back to the Revolutionary War, which began in 1775. Each war will be represented by 60 troops in period costume, followed by 400 troops from that same unit in their modern-day battle dress uniforms. More than 100 military vehicles are expected to be involved, including M1A2/Abrams tanks; Black Hawk, Apache and Chinook helicopters, Bradley fighting vehicles and more, according to a handout from the Army. The parade will be followed by a parachute jump by the Army's Golden Knights, plus a concert and fireworks. Trump is expected to speak, delivering "remarks celebrating 250 Years of the U.S. Army’s exceptional service, significant achievements, and enduring legacy," according to America250's website. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/trumps-military-parade-in-dc-heres-what-to-know/3930168/

JOEL KOTKIN: What’s the matter with Los Angeles? The riots fit a pattern a steep decline. Over the past 20 years, the LA region has lost 750,000 people under 30 – the biggest decline in youth among all large U.S. counties. Even the immigrants are leaving; between the 2010 and 2020 Censuses, the number of foreign-born residents actually dropped. Looking ahead, the state’s Department of Finance predicts no population growth and a reduction of well over a million people for L.A. County. What went wrong? You can start with the political takeover of the city by ever more leftist leaders. Once dominated by Republicans and conservative Democrats, the city has fallen ever more into the progressive mold, genuflecting to green, gender and racial ideology, which has left LA with an awful reputation among businesses and particularly developers. Indeed despite the city’s advocacy for more housing, it is among the least proficient in building them. There have been declines in everything from manufacturing to Hollywood. Not everything is failing. There are pockets of success, particularly in the revived aerospace industry, located south and west of the city, but also in spots such as the Asian-dominated San Gabriel Valley or a host of largely successful Latino-dominated cities to its south. But overall Los Angeles, particularly its central core, now suffers from all the plagues associated with older cities, such as Detroit, Cleveland, Manchester or Liverpool. Far from being “the better city”, Los Angeles is now best known for riots and failing to solve a massive homeless problem, the second worst in the country, despite billions in expenditures. https://thespectator.com/topic/whats-the-matter-with-los-angeles/
