Keep us (and the U.S. government) posted Mike

Iran confirming ceasefire.

There sure are some blissful leftists here.

You can hope Mikie. The rest of the world will celebrate the ceasefire.

The biggest clue is his (?) bringing back the same 10 or 12 threads every night, regardless of whether or not there is anything new to add to them. They are his own threads and he continues to be the only one posting in them. It is @BillStime all right. He has ditched the meme repetition, but the anger and frustration and insulting everyone who responds to him is still there. .

No problem. At least we know that he will sleep well tonight. 💤 😇

Should be at the top of PPP, when Homeland starts.

Explaining ‘America First’ to Dolts, Dummies, and Democrats. Scott Pinsker Ah, from Orwellian “Newspeak” to the P.C. excesses of modern-day feminism: The English language is constantly evolving. It’s why middle-aged guys need a decoder ring to understand what the hell teenagers are saying. (Teenagers: “Uh, what’s a decoder ring?”) “Mansplaining” is one of our most recent Frankenstein-language creations. In the annals of feminism, few misdeeds are greater than the crime of mansplaining. It’s mostly defined along the lines of “explaining something to a woman in a condescending way that assumes she has no knowledge about the topic.” Yet oddly enough, these same liberals are absolutely delighted to tell MAGA voters what MAGA is all about: what it is, what it stands for, and what we should think about foreign policy. ( you really see this silliness here on PPP) “Mansplaining” is an evil, awful crime against humanity; “Libsplaining” is bravely speaking truth to power… something, something. Sensing an opportunity to split the MAGA base, the mainstream media has been working overtime to redefine “America First.” Consider the headlines from just the past week: (13 examples at the link) Well, garsh! I mean, who’s better qualified than Al Jazeera, MSNBC, and Vanity Fair to really understand all the nuances of the MAGA movement? (And not to mention, the inner workings of Donald Trump’s brain?) Clearly, these are the guys we should turn to for an unbiased, even-handed, fair-and-balanced analysis of the man they’ve been swearing was “literally Hitler” for over a decade. But, like many things, there is a kernel of truth to the media’s contention. “Greatness” — i.e. “Make America Great Again” — is an abstract standard: What one man considers great, another considers mediocre. And given the enormous complexities of foreign policy, the Middle East, and competing risk/reward calculations, there are ample opportunities for conflicting opinions. That’s not necessarily a bad thing: A good, stable movement isn’t threatened by debate; it’s strengthened by it. For a political movement to survive, it needs to adapt, evolve, and grow with its target audience. https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/06/23/explaining-america-first-to-dolts-dummies-and-democrats-and-sadly-to-tucker-carlson-n4941082

The attack seems to have been a whole lot of not much — half a dozen or so missiles, all intercepted. If this is what the “gate of hell” looks like. We are in good shape.

Could it be that you are misinterpreting things through you flawed personal filter again ? Certainly looks so Roundy-one-note.

Iran Stands Alone Against Trump and Israel, Stripped of Allies. Iran’s leaders are discovering they’re on their own against the US and Israel, without the network of proxies and allies that allowed them to project power in the Middle East and beyond. As the Islamic Republic confronts its most perilous moment in decades following the bombing of its nuclear facilities ordered by US President Donald Trump, Russia and China are sitting on the sidelines and offering only rhetorical support. Militia groups Iran has armed and funded for years are refusing or unable to enter the fight in support of their patron. https://archive.is/MmW0o

"Bias by omission" is an NPR specialty.

Dmitri Medvedev, former President of Russia and current Deputy Chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation dropped a bombshell. Without specifying who, he asserts that "a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads." One presumes that of the countries with nuclear weapons, North Korea would be the obvious one willing to provide Iran with a nuke. However, that is not a "number of countries," and the only other two that could conceivably do so are Russia and China. Currently, only the US, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea have nukes. Which of these countries would part with their nukes is an odd question. It's hard to know how serious Medvedev is, or how influential he would be in deciding something of this magnitude. China seems like it would be far too cautious to do so, and it would be a wild decision for Russia to make. Also of interest in this statement is Medvedev's admission that Iran has been pursuing a nuclear weapon already, despite claims to the contrary. "We can now say it outright" is a confirmation of what we all knew already. Iran intended to build nukes. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/06/22/dmitri-medvedev-a-number-of-countries-ready-to-gift-iran-nukes-n3804061

Just checked the Vessel Finder website. Still open, as you said. https://www.vesselfinder.com/

Horrible.

BE GENTLE, HE’S LOST A LOT OF FRIENDS IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO: Barack Obama Lets the Mask Slip Again. Barack Obama, now a gray-haired elder statesman of the left, appeared at the Connecticut Forum in Hartford on Tuesday and engaged in a lengthy discussion with a sycophantic historian, Heather Cox Richardson. The welcoming environment apparently led the left’s revered hero to relax a bit too much, for he let the mask slip and demonstrated once again that what leftists want to do most is use the full force of the federal government to muzzle patriots, so that only the leftist perspective can be heard. {snip} And Obama wants to do more than just shout down the view of those whom he and his fellow leftists fear and hate. He called for active government censorship, saying: How do we train and teach our kids to distinguish between those things, that I think is one of the big tasks of social media. By the way, it will require, I believe, some government regulatory constraints around some of these business models in a way that’s consistent with the First Amendment but that also says, “Look, there is a difference between these platforms letting all voices be heard versus a business model that elevates the most hateful voices, or the most polarizing voices, or the most dangerous in the sense of inciting violence voices.” That I think is going to be a big challenge for all of us that we’re going to have to undertake. So there’s the left’s new plan, which is, predictably, same as the old plan: brand its opponents “hateful” and “polarizing,” and silence them accordingly. The chief flagship organizations of the left’s defamation industry, the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ADL, have been smearing patriots in this way for years. Obama wants to follow up these smears with a federal muzzle. https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2025/06/21/barack-obama-lets-the-mask-slip-again-n4941041
