Have you noticed how things have slowed down tremendously over the last few years? The Special Military Operation in Ukraine kicked off in February 2022 and the war in Ukraine is moving at pace that is easily slower than the movement of glaciers. We have been in some sort of shooting war with Iran since February 2026 and the war goes on. Open and shut cases that would be resolved overnight by simply posting every single document on line remain in permanent limbo because for some reason nobody wants to simply dump every single file Epstein had on his island or in his houses (all raided by the FBI who carried away every single thing in July and August 2019) and nothing has been released.......? Really?
I can understand both of those cases intellectually. There is no hurry to resolve a war that cannot be resolved by force and there is no need to flail away at anybody for failing to release files that were purged long ago because the documents and information was so incriminating that whole swaths of what calls itself polite society would be tarred by stupid and pathetic brush.
A rethuglican majority in both the House and Senate was pissed away, again and they accomplished absolutely nothing in 2 years. DEI was struck down and vanquished and the hereditary discrimination against white men was declared illegal and yet nothing has changed in the bastions of the Left. I did not expect them to change. The institutions have been destroyed. I don't think there there is any way to recover them and put them back to their intended purpose.
Attempts to recreate them elsewhere will fail because they will inevitably turn to the very people that destroyed the old colleges and universities to staff and pontificate at any new institutions. Self Licking Ice Cream Cone discovers sherbet. The result is utterly predictable. The question that begs to be asked then is, what purpose do they serve if find that we can do without?
I do wonder how the space program became the barren wasteland it so obviously is. Was it all just DEI and hiring incompetent buffoons that gutted the Agency that brought us Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo? How is it that nobody in the old rocket and space industry has been able to even begin to replicate what engineers with slide rules did 60 years ago? Is this the expert engineering instruction and management training shat all over our engineers and management trainees at our universities? It isn't a good look.
In my alt pages I talk about the danger of the indispensable man. He's a good man to have but it is a deadly trap to be forced to turn to the same guy over and over to solve your problems. Is the one guy we have enough? I see that his talent is spinning off a number of new and talented companies to solve other problems but I was more comfortable with the car analogy from the beginning of internal combustion era when a thousand different men formed a thousand different car companies to try and build the very best car they could and sell it in significant numbers to people tired of horseshit and grooms.
What happened to all of those guys? Where are they?

They have mostly gone Galt, as predicted. Atlas shrugged.
Ukraine cannot defeat Russia...only bleed them. It's becoming apparent that Russia cannot defeat Ukraine either. Putin cannot give up, doing so would cost him his power and perhaps his life. Most Ukrainian's loathe Russia and won't surrender...they still remember what Stalin did to them. So the war continues. Iran and the muzzies in power can't surrender. Their evil pseudoreligion won't allow it. And while the US would win the war the costs would be prohibitive and thus the political will to actually win doesn't exist. So both sides keep sniping away with no real solution. And here in the US the fear porn and looting of the Treasury continues. There doesn't seem to be any obvious solution to what's happening...so it will continue.
When you go to war with barbarians you must wage war like barbarian. Unconditional surrender requirement for Iran then slaughter would work fine once 30-60% of the men are dead but the barbarian rule means you might want to go to 100% to avoid the barbarians trying again.
