Russia has the most nuclear missiles as a country. The US is in second place and the program is in trouble:

The Two-Hundred Billion Dollar Boondoggle:

An April 16th article from Defense Daily broke the news that the Air Force will have to dig new holes for the Sentinel silos.² The service had been planning to refurbish the existing 450 Minuteman silos but recently discovered, as noted in a follow-up article from Breaking Defense, that the silos will “largely not be reusable after all.”³ Brig. Gen. William Rogers, the Air Force’s director of the ICBM Systems Directorate, cited asbestos, lead paint, and other issues with the existing silos that make refurbishment difficult.⁴ Air Force officials also stated that an ongoing study into missileer cancer rates played a role in the decision to build new silos.⁵

Trump’s point about not saying the “N” word for nuclear does not change the facts. Why are we discussing the possibility of a nuclear war with Russia? Is Russia the enemy or does the West always need a war to distract and make profits?

A nuclear conflagration obviously should be avoided, not threatened as a deterrent. I wonder how the future will record a nuclear war that was initiated by the European Union and the US for profits and deflection? I pray for President Putin because any other Russian leader would not have been so patient with Western fools.

Missouri’s SAPA, enacted in 2021, was the state’s effort to ensure that its officers and resources would not be used to enforce federal gun control measures that exceed constitutional limits. The law prohibits state officials from enforcing certain federal firearms statutes and penalizes agencies that cooperate with them. At its core, the SAPA reflects a well-established principle: the federal government may not commandeer state officials to carry out federal policy.

The Supreme Court has confirmed that principle repeatedly. In cases involving firearms, immigration, environmental regulations, and even marijuana enforcement, the Court has recognized that Washington cannot force state legislatures or police to implement federal priorities. Missouri applied that same reasoning to firearms, instructing its law enforcement officers to focus on state law rather than federal regulations.

Bondi’s DOJ, however, has treated Missouri’s SAPA as though it were an act of nullification. In court filings, the Department has insisted that Missouri cannot insulate itself from federal gun laws and has sought to strike down the statute entirely. The irony is obvious. In our amicus briefs to defend the Missouri law, GOA has repeatedly pointed out that the SAPA does not prevent federal agents from enforcing federal law. It simply says Missouri’s officers will not be conscripted to help. That is a crucial distinction, and it is one with strong constitutional backing.

Somebody please help me understand why Pam Bondi was selected as Attorney General. She not only is doing nearly nothing that we anticipated and voted for (you know, deep state arrests?) but she actively fights against OUR SECOND AMENDMENT. Why is she still there? WTF is wrong with President Trump?

On Tuesday morning, the US Secret Service revealed that it had found a collection of facilities across the “New York tristate area” holding more than 100,000 SIM cards housed in “SIM servers,” devices that allow them to be managed and operated simultaneously. Due to the sheer scale of the infrastructure of this single SIM farm—and the fact that it reportedly came onto the Secret Service’s radar after it was exploited in “swatting” attacks that targeted US members of Congress around Christmas of 2023—the agency has warned that the operation, which has been at least partially dismantled, posed a serious threat of a disruptive attack on cellular service.
