RETCON: ‘Retroactive Continuity’ — generally used in science fiction and fantasy to re-write historical lore to make it conform to modern interpretations. That’s what the BBC is doing to their new series on The Norman Conquest: William I of Normandy’s successful invasion of the British Isles and the defeat of the Anglo-Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hastings.

Jaguar: the classic British sports coupe, driven by men licensed to kill… as well as brow-less, gender-queer humanoids with blue eyeshadow dressed in pink latex bodysuits! What could possibly go wrong?

In a special sneak peek at our weekly Member’s Only Right Angle: Backstage show, Bill, Steve and Scott informally hash out the conflicting theories, emotions, repercussions and possible solutions to the confusion, unanswered questions, suspicions and outright anger generated by the Trump Administration’s handling of the Epstein case.

Prior to the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, Colin Powell famously advised, “if you break it, you buy it,” meaning that nation-building inevitably had to follow any large-scale military action against a hostile routine. Did the magnificently-orchestrated Operation Midnight Hammer finally put an end to this pernicious policy?

The left is howling that the new detention center known as ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ inflicts Cruel and Unusual Punishment on the detainees… and Bill Whittle, who lived in South Florida for twenty years, agrees with them; it’s the same cruel and unusual punishment inflicted on all of the 2.5 million residents of Dade County, Florida!

In the wake of another unfortunate flare-up between Elon Musk and President Trump, Scott Ott quotes The Washington Post as saying that Musk “failed” during his tenure as the director of the Department of Government Efficiency. As of this posting the National Debt Clock shows about $550 BILLION dollars saved, or nearly $5,000 in waste saved per taxpayer. That’s just under a million dollars per MINUTE. DOGE certainly could have done worse, but could they have done better… SO FAR?

Large Language Model AI systems have the potential to vastly enlarge our human ability to process information and extract meaning from vast amounts of data. They also have the ability to vastly expand upon on of humanity’s oldest habits, and that is the ability to CHEAT.

The Left tells us constantly that only illegal aliens will do the jobs that Americans refuse to do. But as Steve Green points out, the actual truth is that only illegal aliens will do the jobs that Americans won’t do FOR THOSE WAGES and UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS.

Quietly, without any fuss, Poland’s per capita GDP has matched that of Japan. By the end of the decade they will have, by far, the most powerful armed forces in Europe. Poland has been a bulwark against the east for centuries, and now, in a war of assimilation that has consumed so many European neighbors, the Poles stand resolutely true to their own heritage.

They declared war against us in 1979 and have been fighting it ever since. Scott Ott looks at the possibility of regime change in one of the most oppressive nations on the earth, but one thing seems certain: if the Iranian people are going to regain their freedom they are going to have to do it on their own.

The speed, scope and precision of the Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear and Command & Control centers has been and absolutely textbook example of 21st Century Warfighting. Steve Green has the shock-and-awe details.

Californians, Steve Green reports, are smoking less weed. That is to say, GOVERNMENT-SANCTIONED WEED. Turns out gettin’ around the revenuers is even more lucrative than making moonshine and a heck of a lot easier, too.

Think of it as a guided hand grenade. On the battlefields of Ukraine, small, cheap drones constantly fly over opposing lines. If an enemy soldier is spotted, the drone pilot no longer attempts to drop an explosive: he simply pursues the poor devil — down trenches, around trees and straight into a reinforced bunker —until the FPV (First Person View) drone makes contact with its target and explodes. Horrifying. And more than 90% fatal once a target has been spotted.

A seventh-grade student who decided to push back against the trans agenda in public schools arrived in class wearing a t-shirt reading, “There are only two genders.” He was told to remove the shirt. He refused. He was sent home. He came back wearing the same shirt with the word CENSORED tape over the original message. He was sent home again. SCOTUS, apparently, is not interested.

Scott Ott calls it a buddy film that suddenly got ugly. Is the sudden split between Donald Trump and Elon Musk a catastrophe or a catfight? A blatant disaster or a brilliant ploy?

Two new innovators are helping Make the Future Great Again. One has a flying prototype for a hypersonic rotary detonation engine, and the other has nuclear rocket engines that attach to just about anything like an atomic outboard motor! Finally, the future is becoming what it used to be!

It has been revealed that one of the reasons for the October 7th 2023 terror attack on the part of HAMAS was to PREVENT A PEACE DEAL between the state of Israel and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Monsters. Monsters in the Deep.

Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver and a group of Antifa goons broke into an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. During the ensuing scuffle Ms. McIver managed to land at least one Mostly Peaceful punch on a law enforcement officer and now the US Justice Department has decided to write a strongly worded let— wait, WHAT?! The DOJ is PRESSING CHARGES? And we think to ourselves, ‘what a wonderful world…’

David Plouffe, campaign manager for Barack Obama and called in to sell the Kamala Harris campaign, reveals in a new tell-all book that the reason he was unsuccessful was because HE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. Your Right Angle stalwarts unanimously disagree; Plouffe had TOO MUCH time.
