Official confirmation from the Joint Chiefs of Staff: the Warthog is now strafing Iranian fast attack boats

[A]n asshole is somebody who looks at a painting of two toddlers doing something totally normal for toddlers and decides that it represents homosexuality and then thinks that publicly saying that is somehow edgy and clever. Instead it is doing what we accuse the Left of, that is sexualizing young children. If that describes you, own it.

Muldoon

Update: Reports say The Warthog has been deployed against men
Thanks to fd. Yeah, thanks a bunch, Chief.

Reports: The A-10 Thunderbolt, better known as The Warthog, has been unleashed on Iran
It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.

Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

The other Arquette whore: Trans people are forced to flee the US because we're making them use the correct bathrooms, despite them "clearly presenting as... (thinks of a way to say this other than "the opposite sex") ... what they are."

TJM thinks Bogus Journey is better than Excellent Adventure.

Iran's Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz Is Destined to Fail [CBD]

Podcast: CBD and Sefton discuss the obvious incompatibility of Islam with free societies, John Bolton is a disloyal sleaze, The SAVE Act is in the muck of Senate RINOs, the crappy quality of anti-American propaganda, and more!

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

The Oscars: A celebration of thanking. Dave Barry nails it! [CBD]

TJM has some final thoughts on The Oscars before Sunday's telecast.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."

Hero/Blogger Awarded the Silver Star And to think I was pumped about winning the Wizbang award: After leading his platoon through a fierce onslaught, enemy fire pounding them from every direction, 1st Lt. Neil Prakash went back in for more. First Infantry Division Commander Maj. Gen. John R.S. Batiste joined Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 63rd Armor Regiment at FOB Scunion Jan. 14 to award this 24-year-old tank platoon leader one of the military’s highest honors - the Silver Star Medal. “An incredible officer, his accomplishments on 24 June are clearly heroic,” said Batiste. “He sets a very high standard for every one of us. I guarantee veterans of the past are standing very tall right now.” Although born in India and maintaining strong ties to the Indian community, Prakash was raised in Syracuse, New York, in what he called a very patriotic American household. Congratulate him-- and thank him for his gallantry -- at his blog, Armor Geddon. Thanks to Nick for letting me know. Congratulations, Avenger Red Six. And thanks for all you're doing for us. posted by Ace at 01:39 PM Comments That kicks ass. Silver Stars are pretty pimp. I think the only thing better (correct me if I'm wrong) is the MOH. Posted by: fat kid on January 24, 2005 01:51 PM For the Army, it's the #3 award. Highest is the Medal of Honor, then the Distinguished Service Cross, then the Silver Star. The Silver Star is quite an honor, though. I don't know of any Medal of Honor awards in OIF, and only one Distinguished Service Cross (USMC Infantry, if memory serves). Posted by: SparcVark on January 24, 2005 02:13 PM In addition to the chest-hardware, his site is extraordinarily interesting reading. Posted by: Patton on January 24, 2005 02:59 PM I knew Neil in college (I left a post on his blog about this) at Johns Hopkins; he was my year and ran into each other every now and again. He was in ROTC back then, always walking around campus in his fatigues, but I knew he was pre-Med. I'm shocked and impressed that he passed up med school (and coming from JHU w/a neuroscience major he had prospects) to join the army...how many of us would do the same? Posted by: Jeff B. on January 24, 2005 03:43 PM Wow, that whole thing sounds dicey. I shall pray for him and all our boys. And I shall pray that the MSM honors our brave soldiers instead of undermining them and continuing to ignore their courage and their heroic deeds..
