Chaos On The Ground
Biden has vastly exceeded my low expectations.
[Early-afternoon update[
Still Think Joe Isn’t Too Old?

To Declassify
…or not to declassify? That is the question. An interesting article on space weapons and deterrence.
Question Asked
Our Whole National-Security Apparatus
[Update a while later]
Fire the military and intelligence higher ups now. And yes, Biden should be fired, too, but that’s the job of either the Congress now, or the voters later.
What China Wants
…and why. An excellent description of their history and motivations.

A long, but worthwhile essay on the current state of affairs after the ghastly fall of Afghanistan.
[Update mid-afternoon]
The Afghanistan debacle was the end of the liberal world order.
The 25th Amendment
The Democrats can’t even use it to get Biden out of office. The latest polling has Biden’s numbers sinking, and they haven’t even polled since the debacle in Afghanistan.
