From your SecWar:
“Our department will not be distracted by democracy building, interventionism, undefined wars, regime change, climate change, woke moralizing, and feckless nation building.”
That one sentence alone just unplugged half of D.C.’s defense lobby from their IV drip of endless-war cash. The other half went into grand mal seizures.
And then he delivered the hammer: “We will instead put our nation’s practical, concrete interests first. We will deter war, we will advance our interests, we will defend our people.” Then the line that sent the neocons and MSNBC producers into cardiac arrest: “Peace is our goal. And in service of that objective, we will always be ready to fight and win decisively if called upon.”
Bullet Points:
** What about a move to the Hermit Kingdom – North Korea? (Hamas is worried) (h/t Claudio) The airspace over Venezuela has been closed, so maybe Plan B? Hamas is concerned that Israel may try to target its terror operatives and leaders abroad and has instructed them to take additional precautionary measures, the Saudi Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper reports. Citing unnamed Hamas sources, the newspaper reports that the terror group is concerned Israel will carry out strikes similar to the attack on Doha in September, when the IDF targeted, but failed to kill, senior Hamas leaders as they gathered to discuss efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. The sources say that despite assurances from the US that Israel will not carry out such a strike again, the Hamas leaders are not reassured.

** Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “If you think footage of drug trafficking boats getting blown out of the water is shocking, I encourage you to visit the inner city of Chicago, or Skid Row in Los Angeles, and see what happens when more than 100k Americans are dying from OD every year. It’s mass murder. So no, I have ZERO sympathy for terrorists who are choosing to traffic drugs into this country.”
** “We’re at war with Europe, not Ukraine – and the war won’t end until Europe is defeated.” Sergey Karaganov, head of Russia’s Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, says out loud what too many in the EU still deny. While we feign ignorance, Russia’s domestic propaganda now readies the population for a large-scale war across all of Europe.

Yemen
(h/t Claudio) A significant geopolitical shift is underway in Yemen. What’s striking is how quickly UAE-backed southern forces have advanced since Tuesday in the eastern governorates (Hadramaut and al-Mahrah on the map below), right up to the border with Oman. It suggests potential dealmaking between UAE-backed and Saudi-backed entities that could result in a reshaping of the map of Yemen.
A takeover of the south by UAE-backed separatists would bring them two major wins:
1. Consolidation of their power in the south before any potential deal the Saudis might make with the Houthis in the north
2. Control of lucrative coastline, ports, energy resources, trade routes, and strategic security locations
Now to address a few media claims:
1/ Are southern forces just taking back their historic lands? Not really. A southern state (stretching across & beyond the old Protectorates) lasted only 23 years, 1967-90. But nostalgia for it runs high.
2/ Are southern forces really restoring security? Perhaps. The government proper (PLC) is weak, split, and ineffective.
3/ Are southern forces acting to oust terrorist groups? To some extent, the influence of the Houthis & groups like al-Qaeda has grown in Yemen’s south-east. But alliances are complex & there’s more to it.
Canada Is Becoming a Nation Run by Criminals — For Criminals
There comes a moment when government waste stops looking like incompetence and begins to resemble treason. Canada has long passed that moment. What we are watching now is the systemic looting of a nation by the people sworn to serve it. Billions disappear with no oversight, no consequences, and not even the pretence of responsibility. From the WE Charity scandal, to the SNC-Lavalin affair, to the $50-billion Canada Infrastructure Bank that produced nothing, the pattern is unmistakable:
Money flows out, friends benefit, nothing gets built, and nobody answers for any of it. And it’s only getting worse. Stellantis received the largest subsidy in Canadian history — and the minister who approved it didn’t even read the contract. Honda and Volkswagen secured significant subsidies with broken oversight. Northvolt collapsed after receiving taxpayer money. A new LNG megaproject — celebrated in Ottawa — will mostly create jobs in Korea and Japan while American firms profit.
ArriveCan, a $54 million app that should have cost $80,000, funnelled money to a firm that admitted it didn’t even build the thing. And now Algoma Steel, fresh off a $500 million government package, is laying off a thousand workers. Former Saskatchewan public servant Joe Carson once found that about 40 percent of every tax dollar is wasted. Add corruption, political favours, and vote-buying, and the number approaches 70 or 80 percent. At that point, you don’t have a government. You have a cartel with a Canadian flag.
Cocaine
A good reference point for cocaine trafficking in Europe.
Cocaine amounts are not always referred to by weight when being sold. Occasionally, street slang is used to reference amounts of cocaine to confuse law officials and as part of the nomenclature around drugs. Below are the typical measurement units cocaine is sold in, their average prices in the US, and their corresponding slang.
The price of a gram of cocaine
The cost of cocaine per gram in the U.S. varies, with reports from agencies like the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the US Drug Enforcement Administration ranging from $120 to $200. However, this can vary drastically depending on factors such as purity, availability, and location (close to cocaine manufacturers, it is bought, or how close to heavily populated urban areas).
The price of an “8 ball” of cocaine
Most reports suggest that an 8-ball of cocaine (an eighth of an ounce or 3.5g) costs between $120 and $300 in the US.
An 8-ball is a weight measurement equal to 3.5 grams, or an 8th of an ounce. This is typically used for drugs such as cocaine and meth.
Selling drugs such as cocaine, crack, and heroin in 8-ball weights has been popular since the 1970s, as many drug users prefer to have larger quantities of the drug, and most dealers will offer a special price for 8-balls.
The price of a “zip” of cocaine
A zip of cocaine may cost as little as $450 in some areas. The range can go up to around $1,200-$2,000 for a zip of pure cocaine.
A zip, also called a ‘zone’, is a 1-ounce measurement, equivalent to 28 grams. The term ‘zip’ originates from large zip-lock bags being used when selling larger amounts of drugs.
The price of a kilo of cocaine
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime puts the average price of a kilo of cocaine in the US at $28,000, though other estimates suggest it is as high as $70,000.
As with the price of a gram of cocaine, the cost of a kilo changes depending on the area it is bought in, even within the same state. For example, in Massachusetts, one kilo of cocaine in Boston usually costs between $29,000 and $39,000, $31,000 and $38,000 in Springfield, and around $30,000 to $36,500 in Worcester.
The cost of cocaine around the world
The average price for cocaine varies per country. The US average of $120 is higher than in many other countries. This follows the global trend among developed nations outside of Europe, where cocaine costs a premium price, such as in Australia ($263 per gram) or Japan ($183 per gram).
Regions with stricter drug regulations and harder-to-reach trafficking ports typically have higher prices. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, with average prices of $286 and $266 per gram, respectively, have the highest cocaine street value worldwide due to their stringent drug control laws.
In comparison, with Bolivia as a leading producer and exporter of cocaine, prices are vastly lower in the country at $6 per gram. Portugal has a considerably lower price ($40 per gram) due in part to the country’s substantial decriminalization of class A (Schedule I) substances like cocaine.
What affects the price of cocaine?
As with all illegal drugs, there are a variety of factors that affect the cost of cocaine. Some of them include the purity of the drug, the type of cocaine being purchased, the socioeconomic status of the area, the popularity of the substance, and the presence of crime.
Purity of cocaine
Cocaine can be mixed with a variety of other substances that can cause different side effects and feelings. Most of these combinations make the drug even more dangerous to take. For example, mixing cocaine with other stimulants like meth greatly increases the risk of overdose. These perilous drug combinations also tend to raise prices. Crack cocaine, which tends to be full of impurities, is far cheaper than powder cocaine.
Type of cocaine
While most users seek to purchase white powder cocaine, there are actually many types of cocaine available, though some may not be easy to acquire. Cocaine variants such as brown cocaine (brown-brown) are generally not sold in the US and may therefore come at a steep price.
Availability of cocaine
Illicit drug production and distribution are illegal activities that cost the government billions of dollars per year in trying to control them. Increased law enforcement tends to force drug manufacturers to limit their production, making the sale of substances like cocaine riskier and therefore higher.
Location
As with availability, where drugs are produced dictates their price. Cocaine tends to be created in South America, as that is where the coca plant used for making it originates. It is then trafficked into North America, most commonly through drug cartels in Mexico. This means states in this area tend to have more access to the substance. The same is also true of larger cities, where crime rates and drug dealing tend to be higher, making the substance more readily obtainable.
Rare Earth
(h/t Claudio) U.S.-Saudi rare-earth JV signals the end of China’s critical-mineral monopoly. DoW provides full financing. Saudis get 51% control. The West just rewrote resource diplomacy. MP Materials, DoW, and Maaden formalize the binding agreement during MBS’s visit to Washington. U.S. government backs 49% equity with non-recourse financing. Saudi Arabia controls the majority stake. When China holds 80-90% of rare earth refining, strategic compromises become survival tactics. Allied dependency beats adversarial dominance.
The equity structure tells the story. DoW finances the entire U.S. portion through MP Materials—zero financial risk for the operator. Technical expertise flows from Mountain Pass to Riyadh. Saudis leverage energy costs and geography. Both light and heavy rare earths – neodymium to dysprosium – are processed outside China’s reach.
Three geopolitical shifts crystallize.
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀. Traditional energy powers become critical mineral hubs. Saudi Arabia’s untapped deposits meet U.S. defense requirements. Fighter jets, missiles, EV motors all need these oxides. Markets don’t secure supply chains. Governments do.
𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 over 𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. U.S. accepts minority position for strategic access. DoW oversight ensures alignment with defense priorities. End-to-end magnet production discussions are underway. When adversaries control processing, perfect sovereignty becomes a dangerous fantasy.
𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. A binding agreement on the same day as the state visit. The construction timeline is aggressive. No decade-long environmental reviews. China’s export curbs accelerate Western urgency. Russia’s uranium ban (2024) underscored the need for immediate diversification of supply chains.
MP shares surge 10% on announcement. Capital-light expansion for the operator. Global footprint without balance sheet risk. China spent 40 years cornering the rare-earth market while we debated free trade. Now we’re trading equity for access, control for speed, sovereignty for security.

When I was in junior high, my life as a kid was pretty rough. I’d save my loose molars and pry them loose with a pen – blood dripping out, can be made to look like a gusher with enough spit, and the teacher would have to let me go to the restroom during Algebra 2 tests. Life problems made Algebra 2 particularly difficult for me and dental distress was my relief. Later I sailed through trig, calculus, etc. and became a math major, but when life was bad, I went to the fang.
“White Wolf, Blood Red Fang”; There’s a book title in that, perhaps an autobiography…….
My thought as well…subtitled: “The Man, The Legend” (like Ripley’s only better).
As a pre-teen, our family Dentist was a one eyed elderly gentleman. Very nice man, with very old equipment. But once he went to work his demeanor took on a Genghis Khan quality. It was “white knuckles” from the time I entered the exam room till I was well outside the building. In my late teen years and after his retirement, discovered what modern dentistry was all about.
There was a town dentist like that where I lived, Cletus. He was a full time rancher (with hands that mended fence, handled rope, etc.) and part time dentist. I doubt he had a license. He wasn’t a barber – there is that.
I was a child and something I did in the chair sent the dentist over the edge.
He literally went nuts in my mouth with the drill and my mom finally realized I wasn’t faking it.
Immediately took me to another dentist who suggested we sue.
.
As a teen I got braces.
I got tired of the torture and stopped going. Got in a pillow fight with a girl and a swipe pulled the braces off my teeth.
I got some wire cutters and set myself free. Still had bands on.
I’d sit in class and manipulate my teeth with my tongue.
When I enlisted, the recruiter said I should have that original orthodontist remove the remaining braces, not the Air Force.
The guy asked me who had been working on my teeth, they turned out well.
You could practice unlicensed dentistry (while working as a full time rancher or farmer) in a small town.

British Enfield EM2. Only briefly in service before being overtaken by standardisation of calibres, which saw the adoption of the NATO 7.62 round. I note that Kle and ML Thomas beat me to it.
I thought you might have hefted an EM2 when they were the service rifle, MikeW.
Sorry my friend. I am not as old as Old NFO, at 99, only being a sprightly 81 years. The 7.62 SLR was well and truly in in the Australian Army during my time. I have never seen, other than one in an Army museum in the United Kingdom, or in photos, an EM2.
Old NFO remembers the days when navy ships were fitted with boarding pikes and belaying pins. He’s pissed more salt water than I’ve sailed over.
And he doesn’t look a day over 95….
Ed, sensing a theme here.

Spin on a bumper sticker from Timber harvesting regions; “We’ll mine all the other planets later.” Perhaps developing mineral resources for new tech presently can lead to abilities to resource materials, advanced means of transportation, and harvesting non renewables “out there”?
I won’t live to see extraterrestrial mining.
You won’t live 5 more years? Seriously, that’s what the brains at SpaceX think they can do on the Moon and Mars, begin mining within 5 years. For aluminum, water, usable soils and regolith for shielding.
Dentist: Not the most fun in life (stating the obvious purely for reference). Still have my ‘wisdom’ teeth (could say I have a big mouth), which is weird to start. Never went thru that right of passage that most get to experience at a young age. Hadn’t been in a decade or more…because…life happens…figured if they didn’t hurt or bleed after twice daily brushing and WaterPik flosser no need to run in every six months. Yeah, a bit of work ‘as-needed’ over the years, but kept getting texts to come in for “cleanings” every six months. No thanks, mouth felt worse afterwards, and the last time was dang near four hours in the chair to fix a few things from wear and tear over 65 years. Figure if they fall out I could spring for modern implants and look like a Hallmark guy with super white perfect teeth (except for the 3-day scruff that seems to be ‘a thing’ to make them look more cool).

SecWar Hegseth: Despite the ‘usual suspects’ loudly screeching that Hegseth is ill-equipped to do the job, or he is in over his head…on and on with their version of demented reality…the man is, and has been, 100% spot on with his approach. Those grifting the ‘military industrial complex’ don’t like a competent upstart telling them to shape up or ship out. Have always heard the military exists to “kill bad people and break things” (might have heard Rush say it the first time)…that’s it, nothing more (could include developing very cool things in order to carry out the former that WTP eventually get at consumer grade product). Hegseth is the right man for the job.

Canada…Our Attic…is a goner unless the nice people who live there do something drastic, and in short order.

Prison is too good for those criminals.

” ‘wisdom’ teeth”
I came back from a deployment and went to get my mail.
I saw many people with swollen cheeks.
Then I saw a young lady I knew with the same condition and I asked what was going on.
there was a new base dentist and he had decided everyone’s wisdom teeth had to come out.
I managed to get a hold of my medical records and escaped that fate.
Good move.
I still have all 4 four of mine; nary a problem since they erupted almost 70 yrs ago.
My Dad put his foot down hard (on our dentist’s toes) when he suggested removal as they were coming in.
I can understand (and possibly agree with) the strongly suggested removal of third molars prior to being sent into possible combat:
they are the most likely teeth to cause problems in the adolescent male unable to perform proper daily dental hygiene
I had to get my wisgom teeth removed. Well, the remains, as they basically exploded in my gums. Painful chewing after that, kind of like ground glass in my mouth. Had to wait to get the braces off and then the following week went under the knife. The gass-passer injected me and told me to count backwards. “one hundred, ninety-nine, ninety-eight, mpinphy-shven, mpinphyp-shicksss…” The doc showed me the pile of slivers he got out of me. Fascinating. So glad to have had those out of me.
wadda shame! he didn’t even get into how we arrive at our price structure.
I gotta see his shtick on a gynecologist (if he’s done one)
BTW, did I miss the one on lawyers?
** “The War on Drugs” I am highly opposed to taking them into custody.
** “Canada” report reminds me of the U.S. under Joe Biden.
** “Rare Earth” it’s about time that someone realized we are at war – with the Wokies/Greenies.
** “We’re at war with Europe, not Ukraine – and the war won’t end until Europe is defeated.” Sergey Karaganov, head of Russia’s Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, says out loud what too many in the EU still deny. While we feign ignorance, Russia’s domestic propaganda now readies the population for a large-scale war across all of Europe.**
That “propaganda” remark reminds me of Tom Clancy’s book “Red Storm Rising”. (FWIW that was a really good story!)
Many portions of the federal, state and local governments are similar to ‘run by criminals for criminals.’ The last time I contested local property taxes in Palo Pinto county Texas on a new carport, they did not care that I had a $6,000 receipt they said it was worth $7,000. That the evaluation is the evaluation. I don’t think they were personally stealing the money, but they operate like the mafia. It is I scratch your back and you scratch mine. I looked up the board member’s home valuations and they looked $100k to $150k below the comps. It is like the Covid or HR over reach egos of envious people and groups. There is a reason envy is a deadly sin. Tom

** The War on Drugs – we’re not winning.**
My first drug patrol in 1978 (an HU-16E flying out of CGAS SanFran) the pilot said “we’re going out to do our part to keep the street price of drugs up.”
The Coast Guard seizure reminds me of a story from the old days in S Florida…
The way the store went was they found a 21 yr old BM3 in a parking lot, he was shot and sitting in his brand new Porsche. Brand new Porsche? Turns out the boat crew (3 man crew, with the BM1 being the oldest guy) had found cocaine bales floating while on patrol & kept them. The story didn’t end well.
“a cartel with a Canadian flag”
Help us Donnie-Jay, you’re our only hope!
> “We’re at war with Europe, not Ukraine – and the war won’t end until Europe is defeated.”
How is this an incorrect statement? [On the face of it, at any rate.]
Could one of the most corrupt (even ante bellum) nations in Europe have lasted as long as they have in this idiot brother war without financial and materiel support from (formerly) Western Europe? Until Europe is either militarily defeated (which I would not like to see, and is highly improbable anyway), or the actual native Europeans change their governments and throw out (and ideally also string up) those who have taught them to hate themselves, to be ashamed of their history, to sacrifice their young women and children to literal rape gangs, and to prostrate themselves for figurative anal rape by low-IQ savages on a societal basis, then yes, this will not end.
—
The inaccuracy of Karaganov’s statement is that Russia is not really at war with the majority of the people of Europe. It is at war with the Globalist/Financial Class (no, this is not code, though it can be if the individual reader wants to think that). But the ordinary European on the street does not have a voice. For him, there is no gain from the Ukraine war. But for the “elites” oh so many good things: Slavs killing Slavs (Brother Wars our speciality; plus there can NEVER be enough revenge on Slavs); Money Laundering; Arms Trafficking; Human Trafficking (what, something like 9 million of the ante bellum 44 million population of Ukraine are now refugees outside of UKR?) How many blonde, blue-eyed women and children (so much more valuable than grubby Haitians or Congolese, for example) have gone missing in that chaos? And it’s not just about the financial aspect of human trafficking (see point #1 about never enough revenge; it’s about the humiliation, our “elites” are all about humiliation of their victims).
I think that the Ukrainian dead and wounded as a result of the Russian invasion might take umbrage. Russia was hoodwinked into invading by the American and Euro elites and now they are holding a tar baby. And they’re at war with the US and Euro Permanent Political classes, but they’re also at war in Ukraine.
It seems like Russia has been at war with the Ukraine since, well, forever, from active to low intensity ways, no matter what form Russia has had.
–
I mean, how many Ukes died in the Holomodor thanks to that bastard Stalin? And on and on. Probably the biggest mistake Nazi Germany made was not being the benevolent friendly liberators of a now-freed Ukraine.
Yes, I don’t think there was a time in history when there wasn’t a conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Sometimes Ukraine was on top.
Europe has a long history of wars started for sometimes incomprehensible reasons. Throwing money in the attempt of helping other nations hasn’t led to much, except trillions of wasted dollars, increased corruption, and a nasty reaction to U.S. citizens by other countries. We have enough problems without involving hard earned tax dollars with feckless nation building. I’d rather see the money spent guaranteeing the safety of United States citizens, and protecting our economy from foreign influence. It can be done, and at a price much lower than the ridiculous policies like giving Rwanda 228 million to develop drone technology for supposed medical use.
I’m really in love with the word “profligate”; particularly as it applies to U.S. politicians and our tax (not – definitely not – charity) dollars

Cocaine: When I was in Peru one summer on business, coca leaves were common in the markets (not cocaine I realize); even more common than DEA or Sendero Luminoso people. Piles of it next to older women selling it along with all the other goods on the weekends. Coca tea was used for altitude sickness in Cusco (effective and everything coffee is supposed to be), and I could buy a box of leaves the size of a Celestial Seasons tea box at the international airport for a few sols (as I recall, about 50¢ American). Decided that wasn’t a good idea as I was flying into Miami. I can understand why Coca Cola was popular back when.
Everyone in Peru chews coca leaves and drinks coca tea.
It would cause me to drink Coca Cola again …
