My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

Doing social media while in the military is a lot like being on the bomb squad, because if you make just one mistake, it’s over for you.

611 years ago today, on St Crispin's Day, a smaller, tired English army beat a larger French force at Agincourt.
Not because it had more. Because it adapted faster and was led boldly.
Today #ProjectAgincourt carries that name for a reason.@DOWAgincourt
The memo says it plainly: "The goal is not a particular drone. It is a system built to adapt at scale."
And: "These new systems will not be declared ready on paper."
Here's what that means on the ground. Put a professional OPFOR, industry engineers, and real operational units together. Iterate in the dirt. Then push what works into the whole force, faster than the enemy's tech and TTPs can adapt.
Robert Leonhard's Fighting by Minutes argues that time is the main dimension of modern war, and that controlling time matters more than an edge in firepower. He talks about time flanks: the enemy's open flank isn't always on the map, it's in time. Today we call them windows of opportunity.
On this battlefield those windows open and close in minutes. The side that sees, decides, and changes first wins. The side that waits for the next requirements cycle loses.
Tech alone won't deliver that speed. Leaders will.
Bold, decisive leaders who push authority down, accept risk, and change TTPs between fights instead of between budget years. Leaders who give our Warriors honest training against a thinking enemy, not scripted wins.
That is what our Warriors deserve. That is what our Nation deserves.
We happy few have the warriors and the industry. Now let's lead like it.

Hurricane Isaias is about to hit the FL Panhandle where we just moved from. I am in a ton of local social media groups there, and the number of tourists that are still planning on traveling to the area is insane.

Only one question: Where is Jim Cantore right now…
The Gulf coast needs to know
Is this a “drink beer and watch the rain” storm or should I start packing?

The Army Ten Miler not having an option to have your race packet mailed to you is unsat.
It’s almost as if they don’t understand that people come from far and wide to attend and may not get in until after 1800 the night before. 🤷♂️

Hot take but all Military Fitness Centers should be 24 hours. Use your CAC to enter for after hours.
Camp Zama’s Yano Fitness Center now offers 24-hour access with upgraded courts and training spaces, helping soldiers meet new Army fitness standards.

Hardening America’s military bases and pulling them off the civilian grid is a good thing and long overdue.

Huh?
So wait…the teachers at the service academies are just going to be officers on broadening assignments?
SCOOP: @SecWar is ending the appointment of civilian employees to tenured positions at U.S. Military Service Academies.
The move is intended to refocus military academies on “warfighter education,” Hegseth said in a memo obtained by @realDailyWire.

This is bigger than it appears, the physiological addiction combined with ignorance of data sharing have created an environment that is easy for an advisory with a credit card to know anything they want about the force.
Your digital footprint is huge. In today’s society, it’s hard to avoid, but keeping certain aspects of your movements off the internet can help protect you.
If you haven’t read “Like War,” and want to know more about social media in the age of modern warfare, you should.
The book explains how aggregated data such as geotagged photos, social media posts, and personal details allow bad actors to meet their objectives.
Give it a read.
