Reply policy 2026: 1. Sometimes I leave my threads open here; sometimes I make them for my 2,200 subscribers (so I can read all the comments and get to know folks by name)... and sometimes I start them open, then go subscriber-only. 2. We give the $ 1-a-month subscriptions to charity or to people I think are deserving of support on this website — I don't take any of it personally. 3. 100% of the time, I block rude, spam, bot, or burner accounts. If you were a jerk off and want to be unbanned, you can always email me an apology, and I will give you a redo.

I’m picking commercial flights based on starlink, not total time, route or price This new low cost Japan carrier @ZIPAIRTokyo has 8 of 8 planes with starlink — going to drive to Houston to take them going forward Get moving on long haul flights @united!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Zelensky and the Ukrainians are winning the war against Putin and Russia.  I've supported Zelensky and the Ukrainians from day one.  I believe the administration and public opinion are turning in favor of Ukraine because the Ukrainians are demonstrating that they will not be defeated and Russia's casualties are truly horrendous, threatening Putin's hold on power.

The Ukrainians are attacking Russia's oil infrastructure to great effect.  And it is making a huge difference in the trajectory of the war there.  We appear to be avoiding Iran's oil infrastructure.  I believe we need to rethink this if we seek an actual victory.  We are not going to achieve an actual victory at the negotiation table, certainly not a lasting victory.

Knowing Lindsey as I did the last several years, I think he’s probably looking down on us and saying, “who would’ve thought … I couldn’t get most of you to endorse my re-election and you stuck that label warmonger on me.  But I’m very touched by your incredibly beautiful accolades. Better late than never.” God bless you, my friend.
