Exhausted by what? The price of beef, serious issue, the great replacement, also a serious issue, endless gaslighting by corrupt bought and paid for pols? Sure you are, to say nothing of endless driving to and fro Dallas via I35 to look after the aged p., who's doing pretty well, thank God. Word to the wise, read PG Wodehouse for morale boost.
Oh, and then there's war. We're in another one and, fair play, the Iranian regime should go, much to the fear of the UK's ruling Cultural Marxist elite establishment. As in, how dare you offend all our imported votes! Hey, lest you feel too bad, UK and Irish patriots, US Democrats are right up there too, just imagine a Kamala administration. That didn't happen and we have to ask, was there some kind of civil war amongst our unelected rulers, in which patriots got control? Maybe, but let's get down to brass tacks, if you're not too exhausted.
Iran had, apparently, hypersonic unshootable missile tech, making aircraft carriers obsolete juggernauts. The current op tells us that: Iran's hypersonics aren't for real or, and it's a huge or, our carrier groups are vastly more powerful than perceived by OSINT. With an emphasis on vast.
GW (Gulf War) I and II featured now antique planes that had been secret 'til then, F117s, B whatevers, etc, and I asked an old Royal Navy pal, commanded a sub in the '70s and '80s, what he thought, "Those things have been around for years, we saw them in the '70s, now they're out in the open, imagine what they have now."
Maybe F47s? And there, just like a switch, exhaustion fades. But seriously, let's deal with the Moslem problem, and it is one. As my late Father used to say, and he was no fool, "For the first time since the 7th century we have complete and total military dominance over the Moslems." Yes indeed, but do we have the will? Question open.

I believe the great Sir Winston Churchill declared WWII to be "A War of the Wizards". Having worked in Aerospace from the 1982 to 2012 I can guarantee you we have some Pretty Neat Stuff.....
Do we have ENOUGH "Pretty Neat Stuff"?
BTW we're not just facing off against Iran, it's China.

Even fertilizer required by American farmers is at serious risk. Planting season is almost here.
https://sonar21.com/the-failure-of-us-and-israeli-air-defense/
Open-source high resolution satellite data is out there for free. Old school limiting information and propaganda is working overtime but...
We have the ability to produce all the fertilize we here in the USA need, in fact, we can export the surplus. If only some of the onerous environmental regulations were removed (oh, wait, the Trump Admin did that) and if the plants were allowed to create fertilizer (oh, wait, the Trump Admin has done that, too.)
Now it's directly in the states' laps. Sadly, the ability to do it in California is gone, but then again so are most of the refineries.
And we've been facing off against ChiCom crewed air defense for the last 10 years, and we've won against them every time. To the point the only thing the ChiComs have been learning is that their systems are getting wiped out with no real telemetry or intel getting back to said ChiComs. Sucks to be them.
Even Hanoi Jane has come out of her coffin to speak out against the US finally really fighting the 47 year old war with Iran.
It's the Dem politicians and their very small but vocal angry white women and gays that are against whacking the crap out of the Islamic Republic. Most of the rest of the normal dems are kind of or fully in favor of whacking said crap out of the IR.
And it's nice to see the old flag of Iran being flown, draped over the hot bodies of hot Persian ladies and, well, not anything associated with said towel-head republic.
I'm just getting worn in.
Be not about half vast measures. Set the mark.
We will see Beans.
BTW what military experience do you actually have fighting "Chinese Crewed Air Defense" sir?
Did you actually read the Sonar post? Not one thought here came from it.
Beans about fertilizer did you do any research about that?
A minute on google:
In 2024, the United States imported approximately $9.37 billion worth of fertilizers, with the main origins being Canada, Mexico, and China. In 2025, the U.S. imported $8.42 billion of fertilizers, with Canada being the largest source. This indicates a significant reliance on imports for agricultural needs, particularly for nitrogen-based fertilizers.
Sadly I notice the countries we depend on for fertilizer are not exactly friendly with us at this time.
I wonder how many YEARS it takes to build fertilizer factories.
Don't forget about the fall of The Alamo!
drjim, we don't know but can guess.
Thanks for the links, M. A caveat.
Beans, we will, ultimately, win this fight and Hagia Sophia will return to its rightful owners.
M, Beans is Lord High Executioner. Do bear that in mind. In the meanwhile, whoa.... but what do I know, just an humble LSP
Beans, she was and is a right nightmare.
Well said, Ritchie. Do you remember "out vile jelly, where is thy lustre now?"
Epitaph for the Royal Navy, eh?
My dear Anon, we will NEVER FORGET.
Now read up on nitrogen and ammonia extraction from natural gas, oil and coal tars. We have the ability to supply the world with nitrogen and ammonia, but our environmental regulations, doubled, tripled and quintupled during the Obamanation and Biden's non-presidency, had eliminated the US's ability to manufacture our own fertilizers.
Then there's states' regulations that allow foreign fertilizers to be purchased, imported and transported but not locally made fertilizers to be purchased, exported or transported.
We have the ability. We had the ability in 2020 during the Covidiocracy. We had the ability in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine and shut down Russian made ammonia and nitrogen (from their natural gas, oil and coal tars.)
We could be exporting to the world. Instead, thanks to bad trade agreements and bad environmental regulations, we... suck. Suck bigly. Suck because 'progressives' and 'liberals' and 'environmentalists' hate us and our ability to do anything.
When she dies or appears dead, they need to cut off her head, put holy wafers under her tongue and blessed silver coins on her eyes, dismember her body, expose it to sunlight, burn it all and scatter the ashes to the far corners of the world so it will be at least 10,000 years before her evilness can assume a corporeal form again.
Or, well, the ending of Dracula scene in "Renfield." A very funny vampire movie.
What experience do I have fighting ChiCom air defense? Absolutely none. Heck, I haven't left the city I'm in for over 7 years. The last time was to pick up a rescue dog in Georgia.
And so what? What does that have to do with the price of tea or effectiveness of air defense in Communist China?
They've sold front line equipment to the people who are our enemies. And had that equipment operated by front-line ChiCom soldiers. And we've stonked them every time. Venezuela, Iran and Iran and, yeah, Iran.
Elsewhere Russian and ChiCom air defense systems have failed, spectacularly, as the Israelis and the US and the Ukrainians have continued to destroy the undestroyable ChiCom air defense systems.
By the way, I've never been a cowboy and only been on a horse 5 times in my life but I know how to fix tack, saddle a horse, how to stake out a horse in a grassy plain using an axe, how to mend fence, shoe horses, clean and cut a hoof, dig a well, make cowboy beans and other cowboy things.
I've never been an executioner but I do know how to make and run a guillotine, how to build and run an electric chair, how to do a short drop, long drop, and pull styles of hangings. How to keel-haul and scourge with a cat-o-nine-tails. How to use a bronze bull. How to use stakes properly and how to crucify both European and Asian ways.
I also know how to hunt though I've never hunted deer or hogs.
I'm also not a nurse or doctor but my medical care has kept my wife alive when the medicos have almost killed her.
Never worked for a roofing company but I can do that, too. Never built a house out of wood, cement, stone, dirt or even straw but I know how. I know how to build a wikiup and a tepee. How to build a gyr. How to build a castle of wood (and make it transportable) or stone.
Heck, by the time I was 11, I had read all of Chapman's and knew more about sailing and navigation than most people around me, even though I never got the opportunity to really do it for real (and not under my dad's supervision.)
So your argument that because I haven't actually done 'it' I don't get to comment on it is false. I also think abortion is wrong for the most part and I don't have a uterus.
While we have the ABILITY Beans, the on the ground reality is we IMPORT critical mounts of Fertilizer during a time of warfare in the areas we GET it from.
It takes YEARS of effort to replace what the bad governmental actions have done.
I'd suggest securing a deep pantry for you and your wife, sir.
When I post my opinions, I don't mind defending them with facts. That's what I expect from my often quite opinionated guests at my BBQ's.
Please note that every military system gets real world testing. That we've been training Chinese engineers and military on the cheap doesn't bode well when we cannot build most of our high tech systems without Chinese manufacturing (refined Rare Earths etc). I could post links to Barrons and US Navy webpages if you like.
Our country has been well screwed by bad actors in the pay me CONgress critter department for decades.
Going to take years to undo it even if we arrested most of them to GITMO today. Not noticed arrests lately, have you Beans? I could use some good news about that.
Yes, Beans, just so, and her little friend Hilary too.
Required reading for you lot:
"Aid and Comfort" Jane Fonda in North Vietnam by Henry Mark Holzer and Erika Holzer with forward by COL George "Bud" Day wherein the case is made that Fonda could have, should have, and would have been charged and convicted of treason for her actions. And everything she did pales in comparison to Hilary's Trump-ed up Russia-Russia-Russia conspiracy and email scandals. Jane should be in Federal prison, but Hilery should be under one.
She should have done a 'Rosenberg' and rode the lightning, or faced a firing squad or been hung until she was decidedly dead.
