Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was promised a recession.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

This blog will pay for itself.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

We still have time to mess this up!

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

OK. I am now changing

OK. I am now changing my bet. Iran is not next. Southeast Asia is next (free registration required).

From the Opinion Journal:

Imagine an Afghanistan-by-the-South-China-Sea, a radical Muslim state carved out from renegade regions of Southeast Asia, led by fundamentalist clerics calling for the destruction of the West.

That’s the vision that animates Jemaah Islamia, a group aiming to establish “Daulah Islamiah,” a state that would include parts of Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Fortunately, the group’s timetable for paradise on earth has suffered a setback, with the recent arrest of a 13-member unit in Malaysia and a squad of 15 in Singapore

Some other links on what appears to be a slow escalation:

US special forces begin Philippines role

U.S. special forces begin southern Philippines role

US Soldiers Deployed To Philippines

Special Forces Join Effort in Philippines- Trainers to Aid Anti-Guerrilla Patrols

Sgt. Stryker will probably have more info this in a couple of days (I would like to know what bases we have and what carrier groups are in the region, etc.), but he did note one aspect of the Philippine involvement the other day.
