“Last week, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said it had ordered troops to prioritize markers that indicate the MDL when making decisions, while also “comprehensively” applying the South Korean military map and a line connecting MDL markers set out by the UNC when they are difficult to discern.”

Zelensky has the left the US and is on his way back to Ukraine. I haven’t read any of the news stories yet about his meeting with President Trump, but I hope a peaceful end game is the solution.

The “Letterhead Traitor” case must be the turning point. It is time for a full audit of Middle East Studies departments across the country. We must demand transparency in funding and accountability for any academic who uses their position to lobby for war criminals.

Satire: “It’s Been a Quiet Week in Lake al-Wobegon”

“In downtown Minneapolis, there stands a statue of Mary Tyler Moore, throwing her cap in the air as she did at the beginning of her famous 1970s TV series that was set in the city. There were no Somalis in the city even then, but in light of the fact that the Somalis are now the fabric of Minnesota, this statue is going to have to be replaced. For one thing, Ms. Moore’s hair is uncovered. For another, she is not Somali, and hence represents white supremacy and the erasure of the indigenous communities. This must be rectified at once.”

“What downtown Minneapolis needs is a statue of a Somali woman. Maybe she could be throwing her hijab in the air in jubilation, a la Mary Tyler Moore, so as to bridge the old Minneapolis and the new. …”

The Washington Post shocked many of its Democratic readers this week by telling the truth about the growing disaster in the UK’s National Health Service — a cautionary tale as a few Republicans plan to join Democrats to extend the failed Obamacare subsidies rather than reform our own broken health care system.

Furthermore, with the ongoing global health concerns, travelers are required to provide proof of vaccination or health certifications in addition to standard documentation.”

I was wrong about maximum security in Palau for the 75 illegals being sent there.

Here is the deal.

Palau already receives substantial American assistance.
Under a Compact of Free Association agreement that took effect last year, the island nation is scheduled to receive approximately $889 million in U.S. aid over 20 years to support education, healthcare, public safety, and government administration.
So the 8.5 million is just part of that.

My Best Girl didn’t think this was funny.

Poor little Franny the fanny.
“Francesa Albanese, U.N. special rapporteur for Palestinian rights, whom the U.S. government sanctioned in July for antisemitism, “is no longer affiliated with Georgetown University,” Anna Maria Mayda, director of the school’s Institute for the Study of International Migration, told JNS on Friday.”

Leftist dirtball.
“She explained: “Because this thing is falling apart and that’s dangerous, and not only that, because we’ve already seen the price of this danger. Because we didn’t manage to bring down this government before October 7th – we got 1,200 dead. That’s on each and every one of us. Nobody should sit at home and say, ‘I’m a journalist, so I didn’t speak.'”
