Trans-Qaeda somehow has to be given a haircut.

Good start.

Especially combined with "Kamala" losing.

Been glorious to watch so far.
I have to hand it to the left - all it takes is one activist to burrow inside of an institution, and within 1 year you've got a hundred more.

A year after that they've completely destroyed the institution's culture and productivity and have got everyone in it looking over their shoulders. Within 3 years that same institution is an empty husk and the libs are wearing it like a skin suit.

My favorite was the USAID moron who thought he could 'cancel' administrative leaves...he FA'd, then quickly FO'd as they put HIM on administrative leave within an hour or so.

We might actually get the military back! Amazing.

The other thing that's glorious: We're fighting back - for the first time in my lifetime - on multiple fronts:

https://www.wsj.com/opinion/notable-quotable-the-r...

The move to allow podcasters and bloggers into the Press Corps is part of a broader shift on the Right, that really starts with @elonmusk’s acquisition of X. Before that, when conservatives complained about bias and censorship on social media, the left/lib response was “well go ahead and build your own social media site.” Which everyone knew was very difficult. And then there would be moves to get whoever hosted the new site to refuse to host it and the response would be “well build your own hosting platform” and so forth.

Indeed. Over at the Fool the left wing mods used to nuke right wing posts and posters all the live long day. Created a nice safe bubble for all the invective the left wanted to spew.

And what you’re increasingly seeing is a frontal assault on the institutions that buttress the left. So in Trump’s first term, using a (pretty shaky, imo) interpretation of the 1st Amendment, we established you can’t kick a reporter out for his bias. The Right’s response now is “ok, fine, we’ll just flood the press corps with new right-of-center podcasters and bloggers. . . .”

The dam is breaking.
