Late one night last week, Bill was wondering — just in an offhand way — whether it would be cheaper to refurbish the four Iowa-class battleships (all are museum ships today) or simply build new ones. THE NEXT DAY, President Trump announced the first of the eponymously named BBGs: Guided Missile Battleships. After 80 years, the game not only changed… it looks like it actually changed BACK.

Last week was a tough news week: murders and mayhem everywhere you look. Steve Green brings us another homicide case currently being investigated: Lord of the Rings actor Andy Sirkis has decided to remake George Orwell’s classic take on the horrors of socialism, Animal Farm, and turn it into a fun-loving, family-friendly romp on the horrors of CAPITALISM. And there goes another actor whose work we all used to admire greatly…

New Media giant Netflix has made an offer to buy Old Media giant Warner Brothers for seventy-something BILLION dollars. Many are bemoaning it as ‘the end of the movies as we know them.’ But ‘the end of the movies as we know them’ is not due to some corporate acquisition: the problem is much, much deeper than that.

Not the kids — the devices. Specifically, the social media programs. Australia has decided that the harm caused to young people by apps like TikTok, Instagram, SnapChat and all the rest far outweigh their benefits. Should kids be kept away from social media? And perhaps more to the point: CAN THEY be kept away from social media?

Despite the thicket of regulations and choking corporate tax rates that were once the envy of the world, the good old U.S. of A. somehow keeps managing to not only stave off international economic competition — we’re actually pulling away and widening our lead. How do we do it?

Waymo, whose fully automated, self-driving cars are a common sight in Los Angeles, has recently released it’s raw data on several years of practical, on-the-road traffic accidents. It turns out that even first-generation self-driving cars are at least TEN TIMES SAFER than those driven by humans (and the true number might be much more than that). From a safety point of view, the future clearly seems to favor automation. But is there more to driving a car than just safety?

Elon Musk predicts that in the not too distant future, huge advances in productivity brought on by AI and robotics could create a world where WORK is entirely option. There’s a very good chance he’s right. But if he is, does this road lead us to paradise, or perdition?

How does one describe an existential horror too overwhelming to be put into mere words? YOU FEEL IT IN YOUR BODY! So says former First Lady Michelle Obama. Is she referring to the horrors of war? The mindless terror of genocide? The chaotic and unexpected fury of some natural disaster? Oh no amigos. It’s MUCH WORSE than that. Oh, the humanity!

How many violent criminals are in a crowd? You might be shocked to discover that even in a major city of several million people that number may consist of just a few hundred. So why not lock THEM up?

Various shell companies are buying properties adjacent to some of America's most sensitive military installations -- including Whiteman, AFB, home of the USAF's B-2 Spirit stealth bombers -- and a shocking number of the REAL owners are... CHINA.

The American Indian, relying on his native self-sufficiency and love of his people, adjusts to the Ways of the White Man and finds a solution to the problem of feeding his people. Sounds like a tale of the Old West… but it’s not. It’s a tale of the New West, and it’s AWESOME.

The former Vice President has always been known for the power of her intellect.

Hasn’t been a particularly great week for Republicans… or has it? Scott Ott brings happy news that the Left seems to have learned exactly what they need to do in order to NOT win in 2028.

Commie Jihadi — sorry, I meant to say Socialist Islamist — Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of America’s Number One city. With any luck he will give the idiots on that island asylum EXACTLY what they voted for.

New data has come in regarding the ultimate fate of the universe. The former consensus was that it would continue to expand literally FOREVER — and end in ice. But new calculations show that the expansion is slowing enough so that everything will eventually return to a Big Crunch, and possibly start again — an end in fire. Why do some of us find that somehow… REASSURING?

The pollsters thought it was going to be close. It wasn’t Argentinian president Javier Milei has been given a vote of confidence to continue his bold slashing of the socialist state. Does this bode well for the US Midterms?

Steve Green brings us the latest case of the Left’s astonishing, eternal inability to see the evidence that is staring them right in the eyes: The militant Muslims ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS.

Bill, Steve and Scott go back to the future with some very good news about America’s energy future. Better late than never!

Looks like peanut butter is back on the menu, boys!

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has decided that the days of a reporter cozying up to some junior officer at a Pentagon water cooler are over. Is this infringing on freedom of the press… or just plain common sense?

More and more evidence is coming in every day that the trans mania is passing and that fewer and fewer young people are being drawn into the movement’s destructive vortex. Are young brains being re-wired, or is the real explanation far more simple?

YouTuber ‘Jaydaddy’ presents moving and eloquent defense of The Second Amendment and the God-given right to defend oneself. The rest of Jaydaddy’s madness can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/@JaydaddyYT

The recent decision by CBS News to hire Bari Weiss as their new editor-in-chief SEEMS to indicate a desire to return to something that looks more like real journalism than propaganda propagation. Is it too little too late?

Having thoroughly eviscerated the Lord of the Rings franchise with mutton-faced girl bosses and buzzcut black elves, Amazon now turns its sights on another once-beloved part of our cultural heritage: Bond. James Bond.

Buried beneath the swirling controversy surrounding illegal immigration in the US is a raising of the bar needed to LEGALLY become a US Citizen. Steve Green has the details.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth convened an extraordinary meeting of hundreds of the nations Flag officers and essentially challenged them to pass the same Presidential Physical Fitness test that so many of us ancient relics had to attempt in elementary school. Word on the base is that the enlisted personnel seem to like the meeting better than they did.

The feline, Uber-beta Governor of California is so lost for an identity that he thinks he can steal Trump’s.

A strapping young American lad strides out into the toxic woke wasteland and encounters a major obstacle. His solution? He GOES AROUND IT. If only the Attorney General had such a clear vision of what America is all about.

Wired magazine is convinced that it’s only a matter of time before Elon Musk “has the keys to all of the rifle lockers in outer space.” Anyone know the Klingon phrase for “come and take them!?”

Not much to say about this one: they’re garbage people in a garbage industry.

In its never-ending battle to destroy it’s own credibility, the Washington Post claims that the LITERAL OCEANS of people being fired for their vile and reprehensible behavior following Charlie Kirk’s assassination will bring economic heartache to both sides.

He blazed both bright and beautiful. Will his fall ignite a powder keg that has been waiting for a spark?

A reminder for what seems like a lifetime ago when this was the worst thing we saw all week.

The horrific stabbing of a young Ukrainian woman on a Charlotte tram was the opening act of a week of horror here in the United States. The Mayor of Charlotte said that ‘we can’t arrest our way’ out of this kind of random, savage brutality. OH YES WE CAN.

At a recent pro-Palestinian event, one of the young attendees helpfully provided detailed information on how the production of America’s F-35 stealth fighter/bomber could be effectively sabotaged. We hope and suspect she will be getting a visit soon.

Public Sector Unions have been, and should be, illegal: the government is bargaining against itself! The last President to slam the door on this chicanery was The Gipper. Will The Clipper follow in his footsteps?

President Trump’s spectacular success in decimating the crime rate in Washington DC was one thing: that city exists in a No Man’s Land where the justification for federal intervention seemed clear-cut. But bypassing both city and state governments to bring the same peace and rule of law to what Lincoln called “that awful wicked city of Chicago” definitely raises the stakes. Is it worth the gamble?

Someone who we were told was very, very nice has actually been very, very naughty.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has decided that public crosswalks are… you know… PUBLIC, and not the place for ideological free messaging. CAN DEATH CAMPS BE FAR BEHIND?!

The Ninth Circuit Court (!) just handed down a ruling that the citizenship rules outlined in the 14th Amendment must apply AS WRITTEN, rather then how Democrats have PRETENDED it was written. Bill, Steve and Scott discuss the thorny issue of what to do about people already granted US Citizenship through the Left’s cruel and capricious effort to manufacture not just votes, but entire voters.

Gather round folks, and you will see conservatives do something that progressives seem utterly unable to do: PLAY FAIR.

A dangerous precedent, or a long-overdue, fully justified use of emergency powers?

The never-ending flood of new regulations has been strangling American businesses for decades. A year ago, all a reasonable person could hope for as a reduction in their growth. But that was then and this is now: expect federal regulations to be reduced by FIFTY PERCENT!

We don’t know what it is… but we’re pretty sure it’s pretty cool. Lockheed has gone $1.6 billion out of pocket on their latest top-secret contract, but they seem pretty chill about the prospect of making it back.

Just when you thought the New York Times could not get any lower they manage to surpass your wildest expectations. Steve Green has the disgraceful evidence.

Sadly lost among the spate of celebrity deaths these past few weeks was the departure of The Smartest Man Ever to Write a Song: Tom Lehrer. Bill Whittle brings the receipts.

Rudely caricatured as a drug-crazed lunatic, Hunter Biden recently sat down for a long, in-depth, thought provoking interview that forced everyone who heard it to come to the realization that Hunter Biden is a drug-crazed lunatic.

The belief is spreading like wildfire: enter a few specific prompts into ChatGPT and you can ‘unlock’ the ‘sentience’ that is waiting to reveal the secrets of the Ancients, or the Aliens, or of God Himself. Not only is this a gross (and dangerous) over-estimation of what a Large Language Model is, it also misses the point about what constitutes a genuine, deep and meaningful relationship.

What was being hyped as yet another cruel ICE action against innocent working family men looking for a better life actually turned out to be a mass arrest of career criminals and underage workers. And the person howling the loudest had the dirtiest hands.

A Black Lives Matter protest recently ran headlong into a MAGA counter-protest in Dallas. No one was prepared for what happened next.
