We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
1. Lawfare proved impotent in taking out a candidate.
In fact, every new iteration of lawfare dug the losing hole deeper. All of the accusations, show trials, and prosecutorial misconduct were for naught. For the cases that remain open, the next 75 days will be interesting.
2. Name-calling lost.
Almost every political slur possible was thrown at now-President-elect Trump, and none of them stuck. Name-calling only works if true.
3. Celebrity endorsements lost.
Influencers did not influence.
4. Basement campaigns lost.
It has been shown that avoiding the media and hiding from interviews and public appearances is not a winning strategy.
5. Ballot manipulation and voting irregularities lost.
We now know that with the right candidate and message, we can outvote cheating. That is huge. Large numbers of conservatives voted early and stymied the Democrat’s ability to plan how many late votes were needed.
6. The fear of battling voting irregularities in real time lost.
We learned that a massive team of lawyers working as the problems occur before voting is over can prevent or turn back many of the techniques used to suppress voters or enhance the counting of ineligible votes.
7. Bypassing the electoral process lost.
Kicking a weak candidate to the curb while selecting a replacement without a single vote from anyone except insiders has been shown to be a failure.
8. Threats of violence lost.
Both the threats of showing support for the wrong candidate and the threat of burning cities if people chose the wrong candidate did not work and may have helped the eventual winner. Attempted assassinations only emboldened the winning candidate and his supporters.
9. Lies lost.
The economy is not great. The border is not secure. Crime is not down. January 6 was not an insurrection. President Trump will not be a dictator, nor will he put his opposition in jail. There is not enough room here for all of the lies.
10. Two tiers of justice lost.
Excusing lawlessness by Democrats and while having a politicized Department of Justice maliciously prosecute Republicans was not enough to swing the election.
Yanis Varoufakis (former Greek Minister of Finance) describes AI as a new form of capital that produces not goods, but behavioral modification. This is achieved by engineering perceptions.
The answers provided by ChatGPT, or the images rendered by StableDiffusion — as these increasingly inform our perceptions, they in turn define the reality we experience.
This is what makes AI so powerful — he who controls the AI, defines the reality of tomorrow.
⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
