We seem to have settled on a reason for the sudden withdrawal of US bombers from England after the group of middle eastern "British" men were caught doing something shady around Fairford air base. It seems terrorists, probably at Iranian direction, were planning a mass drone attack on the airbase, the way Ukraine carried one out against Russian bombers. The men arrest outside the base were part of a diversion scheme. Leslie Eastman at LI, Suspected Iranian Drone Plot Prompts U.S. Bomber Withdrawal from Britain, "Some officials said they believed the plot was loosely inspired by Ukraine’s attack on Russia last year, when it smuggled drones deep into the country and launched them from semi-trucks." Dave Strom at Hat Hair sees Details Drip, Drip, Drip Out About Fairford Incident: Intended Drone Attack. From News Wax, UK Police Arrest 7th Man in Connection With Security Incident at US-Run Air Base. Sundance at CTH, Another Arrest Made in London, Connected to Terrorist Plot Against U.S. Military at RAF Fairford. NRO's Jim Geraghty, Suddenly, the U.S. Has No B-1 Bombers at RAF Fairford. "If the U.S. can find reasons to deem RAF Fairford or any other base on European soil not sufficiently secure for U.S. troops and weapons systems . . . well, that would be an easy way to justify moving those troops and weapons systems to the homeland, wouldn’t it?" CDR Salamander says We Need to Talk About RAF Fairford and the B-1B FLAPEX, "how many wake-up calls will we get?" RCD wonders about F/A-XX: Why the U.S. Is Putting All Its Fighter Eggs in the Boeing Basket.
It looks like the anti-Iranian states in the mid-east are getting a bit tired of the Houthis, Iran's proxies in Yemen holding the Red Sea hostage. Duane Patterson at Hat Hair, The Dawn of Yemen. "The Houthis had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day on Monday, and I'm here for it." Open Source Intel @Osint613, "Turkish troops, aircraft, and air defense systems are heading to Saudi Arabia to counter Houthi attacks, Turkish officials told Middle East Eye. The deployment falls under the Mecca defense pact with Riyadh and Islamabad, now activated." Ace, Saudi Arabia Joins Yemen's Government in Attacking Iran's Houthi Proxy Army, "The IRGC's proxy army in Yemen, the Houthis, struck two Saudi airfields, with light damage. More seriously, they had also seized key positions on the southern tip of the Yemeni coast on the Red Sea, opening a second front for the IRGC to attack the export of oil in an effort to force the world to stop Trump from destroying them. The terrorist-aligned AP:.." gCaptain reports Five Hormuz Incidents Reported Monday as Tanker Attacks Mount. VodkaPundit at PJM wonders NOW Will the Islamic Republic Finally Run Out of Money? "Which country has at least 50 ships loaded up with oil and other petroleum products for sale but just lets them stay moored along its coast?Well, Iran — of course." Cockburn at Da Spec says Reports about taking out Los Angeles and San Diego are greatly exaggerated.
Rob Schneider @RobSchneider, "IF THIS PRO-TERRORIST PILOT, IBRAHIM R MOSSALLAM, IS ACTUALLY FLYING UNITED AIRLINES PLANES, I WILL TURN IN MY UNITED CARD AND STOP FLYING ON UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHTS. PLEASE RETWEET!" Quote Gad Saad @GadSaad, "Wow, @united." Quote StopAntisemitism @StopAntisemites, "Ibrahim R Mossallam is a United Airlines pilot who stated on an October 7th Facebook post the massacre in Israel that left 1400 people dead, women raped, and babies burned alive was "resistance by brave people".

Libby Blanca Alon לבי בלנקה אלון @libby_alon, "EXCLUSIVE: Two United Airlines pilots deadheading on a flight operated by Ibrahim Mossallam after his return from a leave of absence reportedly gave up their first-class seats and spent the entire flight in the cockpit instead. Why? According to sources familiar with the incident, they did not trust him and wanted to keep a close eye on him throughout the flight. Sources also say United wanted to terminate Mossallam’s employment, but the pilots’ union blocked the move." Quote Libby Blanca Alon לבי בלנקה אלון @libby_alon, "BREAKING: UNITED PILOT WHO DEFENDED OCT. 7 STILL FLYING A United Airlines pilot who described the October 7 attack as “resistance by a brave people” and said it was “not unprovoked” is still flying passengers for the airline."

Leslie Eastman, again, hears Russia Walks Back Plague Claims After Siberian Lab Employee’s Death, "Russia’s health watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, reports that there was no lab accident. Furthermore, the agency also insists that the young woman did not die of exposure to any pathogen that she had been handling." Alex Berenson at Unreported Truths explains Why you don’t need to worry about the Russian plague accident (if in fact there was a Russian plague accident). "Public health ninnies and a reporter promoting a book (beware reporters promoting books!), are taking advantage of an information vacuum to spin up scare stories on X. Please don’t fall for them." I ain't worried yet; but then I said that about the China virus, too. cdrsalamander @cdrsalamander, "There are few things Ma Deuce can't do. When in doubt, mount a M2 on it...or add more." Quote OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical, "Ukrainian forces are starting to deploy remote automated turrets armed with M2 Browning .50 HMGs to shoot down low flying Russian drones around major cities. Sky Sentinels are already undergoing combat testing around Kharkiv."
iPolitics, Canada falls far behind U.S. on living standards and other key economic indicators. "Fractious Canada-U.S. trade relations remain headline news. But what should concern Canadians as much, if not more, is that we’ve fallen further behind our American counterparts on economic results than where we were a quarter century ago." Why you should want statehood; to save you from yourselves. Hat Hair's Beege Welborn observes The Carney-Val Trade War Wagon Suffers a Quebecois Blowout.

Krzysztof Szczawinski @Kristof_Poland, "The world is getting it finally… At this rate we might even get rid of post-communism soon…" Quote Mike Benz @MikeBenzCyber, ""Why would USAID fund socialist or communist movements?" If you take a step back and look at the corporate and financial investments of many DNC megadonors, the answer will make a lot more sense."

The Associated Press @AP, "BREAKING: The U.S. stock market hits an all-time high as expectations rise for companies to keep making more money." It's pretty good for my 401k, too. Twitchy says Listen: You Can HEAR Greg Gutfeld Laugh at Jessica Tarlov Insisting Polls Spell TROUBLE for Trump. At the Everyman Commentary, Don’t Make This a ‘Mid’ Midterm. "In the interest of not losing these upcoming midterms, let’s review some key issues that should decide the matter and dispense with the current loser talk." Sarah Hoyt, When The Frogs Come Up. Comments at Althouse, Humperdink said... "Let’s review the 2026 scorecard: UK has already fallen. Germany’s auto Industry, essentially their economy, is in the tank. Unprecedented huge layoffs in the offing. France is on fire. Canada’s Carney pouts while driving the bus over the cliffs. The U.S.? Record stock market levels. Low unemployment. Illegal immigration invasion has hit near zero. Commies furious." Achilles said... "France is falling, Merz is on his way out, Carney is watching Canada fall apart, Bolsanaro is going to win in brazil, China is buying oil with dollars. There is record investment in US manufacturing. Stock market record highs. Average Rents are falling. Home prices are falling. Cost of living for the working class is falling and wages are going up. The walls are closing in on Trump for sure this time." Physics Geek @physicsgeek, "Leftist: brags about closing refineries and prevents others from being built and opening.

But California isn't new to this. They're suing companies for making stickers about 3D printing. They're going after parts kit retailers. They just passed a law forcing all 3D printers to include "gun blocking" technology that doesn't exist yet. Once it does, every machine without it will be banned. California is a sick place."
Dave Catron at Am Spec, Democrat Donor Strike Comes Home to Roost. "They allowed the Republicans to enter the final midterm stretch with a huge cash advantage." Monica Showalter at Am Think thinks Just in time for midterms, all 45 Senate Democrats vote to keep trading stocks, enriching themselves in office.
Byron York @ByronYork, "The political path of the Cornell rape allegation: 1) Initial police/DA investigation finds woman's participation was "voluntary, conscious, and consensual." No criminal charges filed. 2) Cornell University Office of Civil Rights investigation reaches finding consistent with police/DA, but concludes fraternity members violated school policies. Expels two frat members, suspends two others, bars one from campus, and shuts down fraternity permanently. 3) Seemingly settled, case fades. 4) Woman changes story, files much-publicized lawsuit blaming incident on fraternity, members, Cornell University, local bar, and her own sorority. 5) Case explodes politically. Local DA re-opens criminal investigation. NY governor appoints AG Letitia James, famous for pursuing President Trump, as special prosecutor. 6) Media narrative emerges blaming Trump for alleged "glorification of being thuggish and swaggering and mistreating women is kind of making you a cool kid."" READY_FOR_THE_STORM @Maga25_Trump, "In other words, probably DRAWN UP on a liberal whiteboard somewhere to help motivate liberal women around election time." The Patriarch Tree @PatriarchTree, "“Rich frat boys are gang-raping helpless college girls and there’s only one way to stop it — VOTE DEMOCRAT!”" Quote Murray Hill Guy @MurrayHillGuy1, "I have a theory on why the Cornell story has gotten THIS big. This is becoming political. Mamdani is tweeting about it. Hochul jumped in. Letitia James is now involved." Meghan Murphy @MeghanEMurphy, "Progressives are stuck on a grievance hamster wheel. It's the same cycle, over and over again. Nothing ever moves forward, nothing changes, nothing is resolved. The purpose is just to be mad. And virtue signal about it. Not to change anything, not to better understand, not to seek deeper truths."

No Justice, No Peace.” John Ocasio-Rodham Nolte @NolteNC, "Democrats angry at Democrats for not prosecuting Democrats. Pass the popcorn." The Patriarch Tree @PatriarchTree, "The “Me Too” movement was just an expression of rage by Democratic women seeking symbolic revenge for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat." Quote Claire Lehmann @clairlemon, "I've always found it interesting that the gay world never really had a #metoo movement, either. A different code?" Quote CAMILLE PAGLIA STAN FAN ACCOUNT @Provokatov, "I don’t really care about the Jane Doe Cornell 7 thing, lol. Gay men do that every day of the week and still have the ability to take responsibility for their decisions to take drugs and engage in somewhat dangerous behaviours." Capt Ed cites CNN Legal Analyst: Hochul Just Turned Cornell 7 Case Into a Kangaroo Court. That was the point of appointing her. NYPo's Jonathan Turley says Letitia James is absolutely wrong person to get to bottom of complex Cornell case. Tom Fitton @TomFitton, "Further undermining public confidence, Cornell picks disgraced former Obama DOJ official Sally Yates to "investigate" Cornell rape issues -- Yates is Obama appointee who was fired by Trump after abusing her office as Acting Attorney General. She had also helped lead the Obama gang's Russiagate targeting and abuse of Trump." At NYPo, ‘Cornell 7’ frat bro claimed accuser ‘sodomized’ him and that school didn’t care he was sex-assault ‘survivor.’ From Ace, Cornell 7 Frat Brother: I Was Too Drunk to Give Consent, She Raped Me. "It is true that almost everyone involved was drunk and drugged (by themselves).Why isn't it true that the accuser raped the boys, who, per the new feminist theory that being drunk negates any concept of consent, also could not consent to the female attacker's advances?" At Da Mail, 'Cornell 7' frat boy leaves America for 'Beverly Hills of Dubai', neighbor claims... as details of his international life of privilege and shock phone call with alleged gang-rape victim emerge.
