When generals start emailing the ranks…begging for “creative and unconventional” ideas, you’ve moved past confidence …and into desperation. That’s not the sound of a winning strategy. It’s the sound of leaders…searching for an exit.

Great news! We only torched 80% of our missile interceptors. That leaves a full 20% for the next war. Which starts Tuesday. Relax. Raytheon’s on it. Delivery date: 2031. P.S. Duck.
The fuss so many Republicans in D.C. make about the LGBTQ community is resentment. They resent people brave enough to live openly…while they keep their own desires hidden, terrified of what colleagues and constituents would do if they knew. Republicans…you KNOW who you are. We do, too.
A lot of important insights and information, here. Always a great write, Jack.
Jack Hopkins-The Original@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social · 20h agoThere’s a shadow roster. You’re not on it. www.JackHopkinsNow.com
Jennifer Hegseth has no clearance, no confirmation, no appointment. She’s sat in on foreign military meetings, screened Pentagon hires, and was in the Signal chat. Now she chairs a presidential commission. The job she actually holds is “wife.”
Cornyn lost his primary. Tillis is walking. Neither has a donor, a term, or a future to protect. Both caved before lunch Monday. www.JackHopkinsNow.com
I’ll bet you a hot cup of coffee that Todd Blanche’s assurance that the slush fund is off the table will turn out to be utter bullshit. We will see it in some other form and convicted felons will be paid. Watch.
Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
Donald Trump destroyed the reflecting pool.
Let’s be clear about one thing. The people who were prosecuted and convicted related to January 6 were shit bags. They were always shit bags. They always will be shit bags.
No matter who Trump blames in his idiotic public tirades, federal investigations focusing on possible Iranian involvement with the water infrastructure hacks CONTINUE.
The lack of attention and incompetence of this administration leaves us wide open for cyber attacks.
Bombing is so inefficient when internet back doors are an easier and cheaper option.
The Russians attacked/hacked into water systems in Texas (and other places) just a few years ago. I bet they have just improved their efficiency and ability to do more damage since then, and that it is not Iran in this current attack; it is Russia.
We have a lot of exposure. If the Iranians can do this. Imagine what the Chinese and the Russians can do. While oligarchs make billions, our infrastructure is exposed. We are our own worst enemy.
Most people think the biggest cyberattack is the one that shuts everything down. It isn’t. It’s the one that quietly proves it could.
Modern warfare doesn't always begin with explosions. Sometimes it begins with someone quietly proving they can reach the controls. That's exactly why I wrote today's piece. www.JackHopkinsNow.com
1/3 Occasionally, when I post about Trump being humiliated, someone will comment, "He is never humiliated. He's a narcissist. He feels nothing." I understand the instinct. However, humiliation is one of the MOST common triggers for a narcissistic injury. A narcissistic injury is the..
I've always found it interesting that Trump loves gold. He's always been more of a tin kind of guy. Rusted tin...at that. Oh...and Capital One...yeah, we now have far more clarity about why he wants IRS immunity. The Donald Trump family is scum, trash...shit.
Humiliation is Trump’s kryptonite. So…humiliate him.
Karma may be a b*tch, but she’s got a wicked sense of humor.
Jack Hopkins-The Original@therealjackhopkins.bsky.social · 4d agoTrump sued Capital One to prove they closed his accounts over politics. The bank’s answer, filed Friday: it was the anti-money-laundering desk. Months of review. Three hundred accounts. He pulled that thread himself.
This might be the greatest self own in history. If we had a functional govt, it would be the end of his presidency. Instead, it's just another day.
