States must force the issue of Federal over reach and rebalance the equilibrium. It’s been so long that States forget that they and We the People hold the power.

Anduril is committing $3.7 billion in private investment to help build the Navy’s nuclear-powered submarines.
The planned Arsenal-2 shipyard at Sparrows Point, Maryland—the former Bethlehem Steel site—will manufacture components and large sections for Virginia-class attack submarines. Initial operations are targeted for 2030, with roughly 3,100 permanent jobs projected.
These are crewed submarines used to hunt enemy ships and submarines, gather intelligence and launch conventional cruise missiles. Anduril will supply parts and assemblies; Electric Boat and Newport News Shipbuilding will continue assembling the finished boats.
The starting point explains the opportunity: torpedo tubes, reportedly among the components delaying submarines already under construction. One missing part can hold up an enormously expensive vessel.
Submarines are built in sections. Making more of those sections elsewhere allows work to happen in parallel and can free space and skilled workers at the final-assembly yards. The Navy already uses outside suppliers this way. Anduril is proposing a substantial addition to that network.
Alongside its private investment, Anduril reports a Navy contract worth up to $2.9 billion, with payments tied to production results. The $6.6 billion headline combines those figures—it does not represent an upfront government payment. The detailed award record and amount currently obligated still need direct verification.
Maryland and Baltimore County also propose incentives, with new appropriations requiring legislative approval, including support for workforce training.
Before Sparrows Point opens, a smaller Orange County facility will develop manufacturing methods, quality controls and the early workforce.
That preparation matters. Submarine parts require qualified processes, trained workers and rigorous inspection. Faster fabrication only helps if the parts pass inspection and arrive when the shipbuilders need them.
For Anduril, this expands its manufacturing business into a major, established Navy program. For defense-tech companies, it demonstrates another route into those programs: supplying industrial capacity the existing builders need.
The first milestones to watch are accepted components delivered on schedule and more assembly work handled outside the overloaded yards. Success means those additions help get submarines to the fleet sooner.

Hmmmm.
Makes sense.
So can we get the UK to give up their nukes before they become jihad nukes?
Scoop: I have heard from a source familiar with the RAF Fairford story that the US feared a drone a attack similar to Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb last year which destroyed 10 Russian aircraft. They fear Iran might copy the tactics and that drones might even already be in UK, hence abrupt departure of B1s.

I believe it's safe to assume that the Democrats involved in managing their election fraud machine know they're under surveillance and have been for some time. Even their expendable lackeys know and/or suspect it.
How could they not?
Keep in mind that they know full well that they're cheating, the Trump Admin (including the FBI) knows they're cheating, and I can guarantee you that the military knows they're cheating b/c it involves hostile foreign interests.
So, why would they still try, you ask? Easy. They have no alternative. They're facing nothing short of an extinction-level event regardless, so they have nothing to lose.

“I have now to perform the more pleasing task of exhibiting an imperfect sketch of the existing state of the unparalleled prosperity of the country.”
- Henry Clay (Fmr. US Senator & a preeminent American Statesman of the 19th c.), in his famous Senate speech known as “The American System” given February 1-3 & 6, 1832.

Do you want to know what's at stake this November?
Right now, House committee dems are developing ideas for potential oversight actions (hearings, leg items, reports, etc). They are preparing *now* for a win in November, so they can begin a full court press in January.
This will cover every department and agency action from the routine (eg reprogramming funds from pet programs) to the more involved (Maduro, cartel strikes, etc). The House has historically been the chamber dedicated to the theater portion of “political theater” but if the Dems win, expect it to look like a musical of organized chaos.
There will be a lot of throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. And committee leaders will use their positions to figure out what attacks are resonating and which ones aren’t. The focus will be more on the bread and butter issues: healthcare, affordability, etc. And expect House Dems to come together on legislative items to push that message on bills that will allow them to make Senate Rs look like they are against making living more affordable for American workers.
The culture wars will also be on the table, but it will be focused less on making points you'd hear from the Western Mass covid conscious bar patrons, and more on constituencies that have traditionally represented core voting blocks for Dems (women, minorities, etc). To the extent there will be any DSA-esque talking points mirrored- it will be those intersectionality issues that connect class-conscioussness with race-consciousness, and framed in subtle and not-entirely-accurate ways like "the disappearing Black middle class."
And because no member of this administration will want to cooperate with any policy and/or character assassination attempts by the House, expect support for these efforts from the usual suspects and new players of DC think tanks and advocacy orgs. [Side note: a good tell of whether a "Committee Report" is substantively driven vs theater driven: is it authored by both sides or just one (with minority views), does it lift whole passages or policy points from outside orgs, and was any agency involved in creating it?]
To the extent the American people want to see a focus on real, workable policies that *actually* help families and working class Americans, do not look to the House. Assuming the House does flip, and the Senate stays like it (with possibly thinner margins), you can expect even less (no, don't laugh) from Congress next year.

🏴⚪AFFAIRE NESTLÉ
🔵Un agent des services français a-t-il renversé 2 enquêteurs le 25 juillet à Larkhall, site d'archives de la Cayman national bank 🏦 de l'île de Man ?
Le commissaire divisionnaire adjoint Alan Speirs décrit en privé "un climat de tension"
Que sait Emmanuel Macron ?
1. Quel type de pressions françaises ?
2. Qui les exerce ?
Alan Speirs, adjoint de la divisionnaire Joanna Farrell, décrit "un climat de tension" depuis cet été.
Le samedi 25 juillet 2026 vers 14h00 , deux enquêteurs écossais se rendent au 50, Glen Avenue à Larkhall pour y mener une perquisition.
Un van Renault Trafic de couleur blanche les percute volontairement dans l'allée et les envoie à l'hôpital dans un état grave.
À cette adresse se trouve un poste d'archivage de données appartenant à la Cayman national bank & trust (CNBT) principalement basée aux îles Caïmans mais aussi à l'île de Man.
Le directeur général de la Cayman national bank à l'île de Man Colin Peters est un proche de l'ex PDG et chairman de Nestlé Peter Brabeck, tous deux membres du London Institute of banking & finance
Brabeck est aussi actionnaire de la Republic Financial qui est la maison-mère de la Cayman national bank & trust
Brabeck est l'homme clé qui a connu Macron en 2007 dans la commission Attali puis un des appuis qui ont propulsé Macron chez Rothschild où il est vite promu associé-gérant chargé de la vente de la branche nutrition infantile de Pfizer à Nestlé pour 9 milliards € en 2012 .
Mais entré en politique, Emmanuel Macron semble rechigner à déclarer tous ses gains, toujours est-il que les quelques 8 millions € perçus en honoraires mais non déclarés pour la vente Pfizer/Nestlé a pu potentiellement atterrir à la Cayman national bank & trust de l'île de Man dont Peter Brabeck est actionnaire via la maison-mère et dont le directeur général est un ami proche et sûr du London Institute of banking & finance.
Si ce scénario était advenu, alors tout resterait aussi scellé que le tombeau d'un pharaon, à chaque étape c'est un ami sûr de Brabeck qui garde le silence .
Est-ce aussi un ami sûr de Brabeck qui a renversé les policiers enquêteurs le 25 juillet dernier sur Glen Avenue ?
Est-ce un agent français envoyé par l'Élysée ?
Le 25 août est arrêté un certain Declan McLaren, homme de 32 ans sans origine connue, sans doute un faux nom, mais beaucoup de passeports dont un français.
Qui est cet homme ? Un homme de l'ombre, quelqu'un qui protège les secrets bancaires, un barbouze à la manœuvre ?
La hiérarchie londonienne, y compris Scotland Yard, traîne les pieds, ont-ils reçu des ordres ?
Il faut regretter que la divisionnaire Joanna Farrell et son adjoint se trouvent aujourd'hui seuls face à une meute obscure, celle des services secrets de pays puissants.
Qui veut-on protéger ?

We are in a crisis stage of the midterm elections. DHS secretary Mullin has said that foreign interference is possible, and the machines are not secure. That is his finding.
We must avert the crisis. All hands on deck.

Hot tip: Quebec is going refuse to take any of Mark Carney's refugees or immigrants.
And so, they will all go to Toronto and Vancouver.

What you should worry about now is if your former close ally removes the tankers from Mildenhall or the F35s/F15s from Lakenheath. Burnham will then have accomplished what Starmer tried to do, driving the US Military out of the UK and start our withdrawal from NATO.
Votes matter and I think Brits will regret voting for Starmer/Burnham and all of those like him.
Our closest and most historic ally has just rushed its bombers out of RAF Fairford so urgently that some reportedly left before aerial refuelling tankers were even in position.
That suggests the threat was considered serious enough to get those aircraft back towards the United States as quickly as possible.
This whole episode has made Britain look incompetent on every level.
Security failures. Terror suspects bailed. Emergency evacuations. US bombers hurriedly departing.
A global laughing stock.

Quebec votes today. Alberta votes in two weeks.
Sovereignty is surging in two very different provinces for a reason.
After decades of centralized federal power and policies that divide regions against each other, Confederation increasingly looks broken.

Oct 1777. After the Battle of Germantown on Oct 4, American soldiers find a stray dog wandering near their lines. It's a small terrier with a collar. They read the name on the collar.
It belonged to Gen. William Howe. The commander of the British army in America. The man who had just taken Philadelphia and beaten Washington twice in a month.
Some of the soldiers apparently wanted to keep it as a trophy. Washington said no.
On Oct 6 he sent the dog back across the lines under a flag of truce with a short note. It read: "General Washington's compliments to General Howe. He does himself the pleasure to return him a dog, which accidentally fell into his hands, and by the inscription on the Collar appears to belong to General Howe."
The note was in the handwriting of his aide, Alexander Hamilton.
Think about the moment. Washington had just lost a battle he thought he could win. His army had lost about a thousand men. The British were sitting in the American capital. And he took the time to make sure his enemy got his dog back.
That was who Washington wanted to be, and who he wanted his army to be seen as. Not a mob of rebels. Gentlemen fighting a war by civilized rules.
The original note still survives. Washington loved dogs his whole life and kept dozens of hounds at Mount Vernon, so he probably understood exactly what losing one felt like.

Marc Elias is hopping mad that the Georgia Elections Board asked for the U.S. DOJ Civil Rights Division to help the State of Georgia in the upcoming Midterm Elections.
Marc screeches — that’s a violation of federalism.
No it’s not, Marc. The State *voluntarily* asked for help so that is federalism in action. And when California cooperated with a captured DOJ Civil Rights Division, we didn’t hear boo from you.
I’m sorry that the lock your side has had in running a captured DOJ Civil Rights Division, which in season and out of season acted like a wing of the Democrat Party has been ended. Or at least is in retreat now.
Go cry in a beer stein from the Yard House.

October 2, 1863. Sequatchie Valley, Tennessee.
The Union army in Chattanooga was starving. Every cracker and every bullet had to come in by wagon over the mountains, down one bad road.
That morning a massive Union supply train was creeping through the valley, stretched out for miles. Hundreds of wagons, thousands of mules, and almost no protection.
Joseph Wheeler's Confederate cavalry came out of the hills and hit it.
For hours his troopers worked down the line, looting what they could carry and burning the rest. They shot or sabered the mules so the Union couldn't use them again. Smoke rose over the valley all day.
Estimates of how many wagons were destroyed range from a few hundred to nearly a thousand. However you count it, it was one of the biggest supply losses of the war.
Union cavalry finally showed up that afternoon and drove the raiders off, but the damage was done.
Men in Chattanooga were already on quarter rations. Within weeks Rosecrans was out, Grant was in, and the only thing that mattered was opening a new supply line before the army starved.

One of Washington's generals trusted his dogs more than he trusted people.
"If you love me, you must love my dogs."
General Charles Lee went everywhere with a pack of dogs at his heels. To camp, to dinner. Even to battle. His favorite was a Pomeranian named Spado.
Writing to John Adams, Lee said that the day he became convinced men were as worthy as dogs, he would start treating men better.
At a dinner in 1775, Lee ordered Spado to climb onto a chair and shake hands with Abigail Adams, so she could get "better acquainted" with the dog. She politely shook the paw. A guest said the dog was so furry he'd have mistaken it for a bear in the woods.
Lee wouldn't let Spado eat bacon in the morning, convinced it would make the dog stupid.
It would be an endearing story, if Lee had been a better man.
But Charles Lee was one of the most disloyal figures of the Revolution. He believed he would make a better commander than George Washington and he constantly worked against him.
At the Battle of Monmouth in 1778, he bungled the attack and ordered a baffling retreat that caused Washington to upbraid him in front of the troops. He was court-martialed and stripped of command.
Years after his death, an even darker discovery surfaced: while a British prisoner, Lee had drawn up a plan to help the British defeat the American army.
The man couldn't be loyal to his country, or to the general who led it...but at least he was loyal to Spado.
