Thoughts from Jim Garaghty.
You know, those Squad members could be expelled with a few Democrats voting with the Republicans. But it would be a smart move, so they won’t do it.

Mark Steyn: Proportionate on gang rape.
Israel declared war on Hamas, but they know that the real war is with Iran. And I suspect that behind the scenes, despite whatever public statements the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia says, they’re coordinating.

We are up against an Axis of Devils.

What’s behind Obama’s silence on Israel?
The usual.
“Hamas consigns Pax Americana to history books.”

Thoughts on Israel’s existential war.
Ethnic cleansing works. Not a great solution, but it’s a solution. It’s unclear that there is any other. And it’s a long tradition in that region.
And if an ethnicity is to be cleansed, crazy me, I think it should be the one that brutally murders and rapes innocent civilians, films the atrocities with the victims’ own phones, and uploads them to their social media, and produces nothing but misery for its own people, rather than the one that made a desert bloom, created a modern industrial western democracy, and takes great care to avoid civilian casualties.
But maybe that’s just me. Judging by what you hear on campus, and from some Democrat representatives, it probably is.

Mark Steyn again: Partying on.

Space Tracking Data
This is kind of a big deal. DoD is going to move it to the Department of Commerce.
Why Our Generals Can’t Think
This, sadly, makes sense. I can’t imagine going along with the decision to abandon Bagram. Also, why our generals don’t win.
9/11
I was in San Juan, about to head to the airport for a flight back to California, I was about to call a cab when I saw the second plane hit the second tower. I instantly realized that we were at war, and that there was no point in going to the airport.
But twenty-two years on, we seem to have forgotten it ever happened.

Glenn Reynolds remembers, and he’s angry. So am I.
[Update later morning]
9/11 is a memorial to repeated and ongoing FBI failures, which which no one is ever held accountable.
U.S. Space Command
Do we really need it?
Probably not. I do continue to think we need a U.S. Space Guard, though.

A report from Bucha.
I believe that there is great value to our national security to attrit Putin’s Russia and his mercenaries, and that Vivek’s position that we should hand over part of Ukraine to Russia is nuts.
