Winners, Losers and Links
Deep into Winter the nation shivers
Winners
The PLA - Ukraine is a test of American systems. Houthis get to test US Navy defenses. All the while America uses munitions that will take years to replace.
Iran - Finally, a proxy hit yields an American service member’s death. MENA watchers were waiting for the first official death after reports of proxies firing missiles at camps and bases. America will respond, after waiting several days and making phone calls to Tehran, and we can be assured American forces will strike empty camps and bases.
Milei - Still very early but he has supposedly slashed over 40,000 government workers in Argentina. Good for him.
Gov. Abbott - Not arrested, not drone striked and not demonized. Looks like his gamble worked.
Steve Sailer - His new book has gone paperback and Will Stancil gave him an amazing marketing boost online this week.
Losers
Rule of Law Proponents - We have seen the weaponization against Trump and J6 participants. Now the civil courts see ridiculous application of law against Trump and even strange decision in court for corporate issues against Mr. Musk. Not a nation of laws but of men.
Will Stancil - This no name had a meltdown on Twitter hitherto unseen. He might still be going. People also unearthed his salary history too. Good luck getting the student loans erased, Will.
Mark Cuban - If not for Mr. Stancil, Mark Cuban’s meltdown on Twitter would be front and center. Cuban reacted poorly to Sam Hyde asking him about changing his surname, and then the rest is history.

Interesting report on how drones attack and their use on the battlefield.
The MIC does not run DC. It does not even say yes to all of the Pentagon’s bids.
David Brooks writes, “ALL IS WELL!!!!”
MAGA is gone, the new Trump is much more aggressive for what it means to remake America.

New Trump isn't hard to understand, he's just an economic Republican candidate. The middle class GOP people I know who didn't like him in 2016 like him now, because he's safe. They believe the economy will improve under him. Nobody thinks he's going to kick off a race war or expel the Jews, they just think it'll be easier to make rent under Trump than under Biden.
Everything else is just election cycle window dressing. It's the economy, stupid.
The Texas happening is by far the most interesting of all. Will the feds just let it fade out of the news cycle? They don't have a winning move in any direction.
