Massacre on the Streets of Mexico El Mencho is Deceased https://x.com/jorgebarrivivas/status/2025699558387306557 Ignore the narrative on the link above. Just take note of the distress of the female member of the National Guard. Reports are that the cartel members are targeting the families of police officers and soldiers with both kidnapping and executions. Hundreds have been killed.  Vehicles are also being commandeered for various uses. https://x.com/mog_Russ/status/2025677520771965053 In what seems an unwise move,  the body of "El Mencho" was moved by ambulance to Mexico City.  The video I watched showed reporters scrambling near the ambulance and what looked like a motorcade fit for the funeral of a dignity as it traveled down the street with his remains.  This alone - inflames the situation. 7:45 23 February: Additional links will be added below: My best guess is that El Mencho's son will be in U.S. custody because of Mexico's history of allowing their cartel bo...

Commander in Chief: Grand Ayatollah Khamenei Prophet Muhammad was actively engaged in nine ghazawat (plural of ghazwa). He headed up eighteen expeditions which did not involve a targeted battlespace, and dispatched around 55-60 additional expeditions.  These were smaller configurations with smaller footprints who were traveling with an appointed leader, under delegated authority.  These are known as the saraya of Prophet Muhammad.  One of the most comprehensive books of Maghazi was written by Mohammad bin Ishaque. It is a popular topic, and if memory serves me ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) had a session in Dallas several years ago addressing the topic of Prophet Muhammad as a General.   I find it interesting that a mosque in the United Kingdom chose the date of 9/11 for this information.  Maybe they don't give a damn that 200 people jumped to their deaths from the windows of the Twin Towers on 9/11.  It seems rather deliberate, doesn't it?

Dr. Onwubiko Agozino:  Bigot I suppose the Caucasian neighbor next door trimming hedges with a pair of shears will present as the next racist threat to a man who is an ungrateful bigot with a large chip on his shoulder. https://nypost.com/2026/02/20/us-news/white-teens-vindicated-after-woke-virginia-professor-accused-them-of-hate-crime-for-blasting-rap-music/ As a parent, it would terrify me to have law enforcement show up at my door and accuse my teen son of a hate crime.  What if the police had decided to investigate this matter further?  The families might have spent $$$$$ to defend their child against baseless and cruel accusations. Dr. Agozino is just another confabulist like Jussie Smollet.  We should resist  low-character-class men who believe it is acceptable to destroy innocent lives with accusations of a hate crime.  What he did was not a harmless antic but a deliberate attempt to target a specific demographic of Americans. I am against any design...

SCOTUS Decision Worth reading.   The paragraph on the "major questions" doctrine stands out.  Bottom line. If Congress is not responsible regarding their duties, that duty does not then belong to the Executive Branch as a fall back position.   The power of the purse lies firmly within the hands of our Congressional body.  And the Constitution is written to keep the POTUS from rifling his fingers through the cash register till.  This is called separation of powers. https://www.scotusblog.com/2026/02/supreme-court-strikes-down-tariffs/ Not worth reading: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15578367/Trump-attack-Supreme-Court-tariff-loss-Disgrace.html One of the problems with MAGA is that anything in the courts which addresses Presidential power and the constraints thereof can be viewed as a political attack on the POTUS - as opposed to a question of constitutionality.  We are dependent on our Supreme Court to be the final arbiter of legal quest...

Commander in Chief Commander in Chief.  We forget he is the Commander in Chief.  And he is untouchable.  We refuse to recognize his rank. When I started journalism two decades ago, I wrote for the Dallas Morning News with a bi-weekly byline on the page of one of the satellite suburban newspapers.  It was... of course... editorial opinion. This opened opportunities for me to share my thoughts within the military community.  I was sought out. Two remembrances: I was the speaker for the Naval Academy Alumni Association at Park Cities Club in Dallas.  When I enter a room, there is always a quick survey of my surroundings and companions.  Who is the aggressor in the group, the narcissist, the potted plant?  Wearing a new dress suit, I spoke with confidence regarding Prophet Muhammad and Statesmanship.  Why not? I had already entered the IB (intellectual battlespace) of al-Qaeda and had now turned my focus to another organization. After lunch, a ma...

The Brinkmanship Continues Iran's diplomatic posture has always resembled a retirade.  It has worked well for them. And for our part, an American POTUS who is all-or-nothing regarding negotiations.  He doesn't know the meaning of the word "sculpt".  But as some of our assets return to home base because of refueling issues, maybe he will begin to understand how Tehran conducts vibrant (non) negotiations.  They have managed this for years. There are interesting unconfirmed reports: China is sending their Naval Destroyers  Tangshan (DDG),  Frigate Daqing (DDG)  and the Taihu replenishment ship to join the Moscow-Tehran naval exercise focused on shutting down the traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.  This is classic choke point theory.   But of greater importance, is that if the Liaoning-1 is chugging toward the Sea of Oman they are taking their top tier technology which allows them to analyze what is the "untraceable" data - electromagneti...
