The US Missile Defense Shortage is Worse than Imagined

Donald Trump made a bold and provably wrong claim yesterday about the US air-defense missile inventory:

The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better — was stated to me today we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can be ‘forever,’ and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries’ finest arms!). At highest end we have good supply but not where we want to be. Much additional high-grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries.

I will now show you conclusively that Trump is gaslighting the public, at least with respect to the PAC-3 MSE missiles. The PAC-3 MSE (Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement) is effectively the primary missile used in the modern Patriot system for most high-priority threats, particularly in current U.S. Army and allied operations as of 2026. The PAC-3 MSE ( Missile Segment Enhancement) began low-rate initial production (LRIP) in 2014, with deliveries starting in 2015 and full-rate production approved in 2018.

Starting in 2015 and continuing through 2020, the US produced between 100 — 300 a year. Let’s use the higher figure… That is 1,800 PAC-3 MSE. In the succeeding four year period, the US produced an estimated 2,200 PAC-3 MSEs (i.e., 500+ per year). In 2025 the US boosted production to 620. Total PAC-3 MSEs produced since 2015 is 4,620.

When the PAC-3 MSE is employed against an incoming threat, a minimum of two are fired. Keep that figure in mind. So how many have we sent Ukraine? According to open source documents, including DOD/DOW budget figures, the the US has transferred 847 PAC-3 MSE missiles to Ukraine. Assuming that the US and Israel have NOT fired any PAC-3 MSE missiles in 2025 and 2026, the US only has 3,773 in its inventory. We know that is ridiculous, but play along with me.

During the 12-day war Iran fired at least 600 ballistic missiles into Israel. In theory, the Patriot system is designed to work against ballistic missiles while Israel’s Iron Dome is designed to defeat short-range counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar (C-RAM) defense, plus capabilities against drones, cruise missiles, precision-guided munitions (PGMs), and some ballistic threats in certain configurations. So let’s assume that the Patriot was fired at 500 of the Iranian missiles — i.e., at least 1,000 PAC-3 MSE missiles were fired. That shrinks the US inventory to 2,773.

In just four days since the start of Epic Fury, Iran has fired an estimated 200 missiles at sites in the Gulf nations and Israel that have Patriot batteries. Conceivably, that means that another 400 PAC-3 MSE missiles have been launched, which shrinks the inventory to 2,373. If Iran fires 60 ballistic missiles per day, and the Patriot system uses 2 interceptors per incoming missile (a common conservative engagement doctrine for high-confidence intercepts against ballistic threats), the inventory would be exhausted after 19 full days, with enough left on the 20th day to handle roughly 46–47 Iranian missiles before depletion (about 19.775 days total, or roughly 19 days and 18–19 hours of sustained operations at this rate). In other words, the US PAC-3 MSE missiles will be exhausted on March 23, 2026.

Note that I am assuming that the entire inventory of US Patriot missiles have been deployed to Israel and US bases in the region. That is a false assumption because there are Patriot missile batteries with a full complement of missiles in other theaters. At present there are three Patriot battalions permanently assigned/forward-deployed to INDOPACOM (e.g., in South Korea/Japan/Guam areas, like 35th ADA Brigade and 1-1 ADA at Kadena); EUCOM has one Patriot battalion assigned (e.g., units in Germany like Baumholder/Ansbach areas, supporting NATO/Eastern flank).

UK DYSTOPIA: Mass Stabbing in Train Sees at Least 10 People Wounded at Huntingdon – Police Now Says It Was NOT a Terrorist Attack – 2 Suspects in Custody

How long must this go on?

The scourges of unchecked mass migration and Islamic invasion keep fraying the social fabric in the United Kingdon.

A Saturday night train commute turned into hell as a couple of men – said at this point to be ‘British citizens’ but who victims heard shout ‘Allahu Akbar’ – went on a stabbing spree that reportedly left ten people wounded, with two fighting for their lives.

Initially, the incident had been investigated as a terrorist attack, but now UK police has reversed course and is saying it was no such thing.

The Mirror reported:

“A statement from Superintendent John Loveless which was delivered at the scene of Huntingdon station this morning:

‘This is a shocking incident and my thoughts are with those who have been injured and their families. At 7.42pm we were called to reports of a multiple stabbing on board the 6.25pm train service from Doncaster to London King’s Cross.

Officers immediately attended Huntingdon station alongside paramedics, where armed police from Cambridgeshire Police boarded the train and arrested two people within 8 minutes of the first 999 call. The two men remain in police custody’.”

GASLIGHTING: MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace Claims No Democrats Have Compared Trump to Hitler

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace looked into a camera today, and with a straight face, claimed that no Democrats have compared President Trump to Hitler.

Not only have they compared Trump to Hitler repeatedly, they’ve done it on Wallace’s own show.

This is the type of obvious gaslighting and outright lying that has caused millions of Americans to lose trust in the media. Everyone knows this is a lie, yet she just tells viewers not to believe their own eyes and ears.

The Wrap reports:

JB Pritzker insisted that he has never compared Donald Trump to Hitler – one week after he compared the United States’ use of ICE and border patrol agents to Nazi Germany.

“I haven’t suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler,” the Illinois Governor said while talking with Nicolle Wallace on “The Best People” podcast.

Wallace chimed in: “I don’t think any Democrat has. I think it’s a smear that they project back onto critics. JD Vance called Donald Trump cultural heroin, he called him America’s Hitler. The attacks on Donald Trump as a fascist came from three-star generals who worked for him.”

Just last week, while speaking at The Economic Club of Chicago, Pritzker drew parallels between Trump’s leveraging of ICE and the border patrol against illegal immigrants to the Nazi’s attacks on Jews.

“This is how authoritarian regimes do it,” Pritzker said. “They create these kind of fake ideas that there’s an enemy out there and it could be sitting next to you at one of these tables. So just somebody sitting at your table that you don’t like might be one of those enemies. So let’s round them up, let’s make sure they are the subjects of the laws that we’re passing, because we don’t like who they are. That is what authoritarian regimes do.”

Why Are the Mental Bellyflops Denying Antifa’s Existence Again? This Might Be Why…

One of the lowest points in recent American history had to be when then-president of the United States, Joe Biden, and his director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, denied the existence of Antifa.

Let me re-word that: not too long ago, the president of the United States and his number one law enforcement agent publicly denied the existence of a group of violent commie anarchist yobbos who exist to tear down the country.

Why would Biden and Wray do such a thing? Because the Democratic Party is in cahoots with Antifa and shares their goal of toppling the U.S. government.

I can only assume that the Antifa sally-lads in Dallas never got the memo that Antifa isn’t real.

Nor did any of these charming fellow travelers.

Here are a ton of videos of Antifa attacking patriots and getting pummeled in the process. Notice the videos have titles such as “Brawl breaks out between Antifa and Trump supporters.” That’s code for, “Antifa attacking peaceful Trumpers.” SPOLIER ALERT: Antifa can’t fight. At all.

Sometimes, Antifa members tell us themselves that they are, in fact, Antifa.

Democrat mayor accused of ‘gaslighting’ entire city after dismissing claims serial killer is behind dozens of bodies pulled from bayous

The family of a man found dead in the Houston bayous has accused the city’s mayor of ‘gaslighting’ after the Democrat dismissed almost 50 bodies pulled from the waters in 21 months as a symptom of ‘homelessness‘.

John Whitmire rejected growing fears of a serial killer dumping bodies in the Texas waterways after dozens were found dead over the past two years.

One death that has baffled investigators is Kenneth Cutting Jr, 22, who disappeared after a night out in downtown Houston in June last year. 

Cousin Lauren Freedman said his body was found by police in the Buffalo Bayou a few days later, about a mile and a half upstream from where his roommates last saw him alive. 

The cause and manner of the young man’s death were undetermined by the autopsy which found no traces of physical injury or drug use. 

Cutting is just one of dozens of people that have been found dead in the waterways over the past few years. 

So far in 2025, police have confirmed 16 were pulled from Houston’s bayous, but records from the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences indicate that number is even higher, at 24. 

Six of those were found over the course of just two weeks in September.  

Police have also confirmed that throughout 2024, there was a total of 24 bodies recovered from the waterways. 

All of these deaths have caused Houston residents to speculate that there may be a serial killer on the loose, but mayor Whitmire has publicly disputed those fears.

Dr Oz accuses Democrats of ‘gaslighting’ Americans over $1B in Medicaid payments to illegal immigrants

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced Thursday that an internal review uncovered more than $1 billion in Medicaid payments to illegal immigrants across several states, a problem he says the Trump administration is now moving to correct.

“The Democrats have been gaslighting us on this issue of Medicaid funds going to illegal immigrants for quite a while,” Oz said on “Fox & Friends.” 

Healthcare for illegal immigrants has been a major issue prolonging the latest government shutdown, which is now entering its third week. Republicans accuse Democrats of allowing federal health dollars to go to illegal immigrants while standing in the way of efforts to cut government waste.

Oz said his agency’s investigation into the topic is “just getting started” and the latest figure covers only a few states.

MSM Puppets Receive “New Talking Point Directive” Amid Info War 

Establishment media puppets that align with the Deep State interests have received coordinated messaging directives this past week,  scripted talking points designed to advance ongoing informational warfare against the American public to obscure or downplay the very existence and activities of radical left group Antifa, which has been formally designated a domestic terrorist organization due to its repeated attacks on federal personnel, facilities, and other government assets. 

“New talking point directive just issued,” journalist Tom Elliott wrote on X, accompanying a montage video showing leftist media puppets, from Jimmy Kimmel to Whoopi Goldberg, reading from what appears to be identical scripts in a coordinated misinformation and disinformation campaign. By now, the American people view the MSM not as news organizations but as a massive PR arm serving the interests of Deep State operatives.

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison Claims Antifa ‘Isn’t an Organization’ on MSNBC, But He Once Posed Grinning with Their Handbook Written by Professor Who Just Fled the Country

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison appeared on MSNBC on Saturday to downplay Antifa as nothing more than an “amorphous” idea without any real institutional structure, despite his own previous posts of support for the militant extremists.

Ellison’s comments come amid growing scrutiny of his own past flirtations with the militant far-left group, including an infamous 2018 tweet where he proudly posed with a copy of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” a book authored by Rutgers professor Mark Bray, who has now fled the United States.

During his MSNBC appearance, Ellison argued, “Because if there really is no Antifa as an institutional organization, then anybody who’s associated with Antifa-like ideas, you know, can be persecuted… The fact that there is no—nobody even knows what it is.”

The Minnesota AG claimed the first time he heard the term “Antifa” was from Trump himself during the Charlottesville controversy, dismissing the group as a vague concept that could be weaponized to suppress speech, deploy military forces, or arrest dissenters.

Conservatives and other logical people, however, point out that Antifa operates with clear hallmarks of an organized entity: flags, uniforms, local chapters, meeting places, email sign-ups, and member directives, a far cry from the intangible “idea” Ellison describes.

Democrat Senator’s Attempt to Gaslight Americans on Illegal Aliens and the Govt. Shutdown Blows Up in Her Face When Fox News’s Lawrence Jones Reveals a Damning Video Clip

The Democratic Party’s ill-advised shutdown of the federal government continues to backfire spectacularly, with the latest humiliation occurring on Fox News.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Schumer Shutdown took effect at 12:01 am on Wednesday after two measures to avert the government shutdown failed in the Senate.

The measures needed 60 votes to pass. The GOP-backed measure failed to pass in a 55-45 vote – Rand Paul voted with the Democrats.

The Democrat Party and Paul decided to put the health care of illegal aliens and more garbage ahead of keeping the government running.

On Thursday, Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) appeared on Fox and Friends to attempt to gaslight the audience into believing that Democrats really do not want to give health care to illegals.

“I haven’t heard anybody in my party saying illegal immigrants should get access to the health insurance market!” Shaheen claimed.

But Fox and Friends co-host Lawrence Jones had an ace up his sleeve: he had footage of several prominent Democrats saying the exact opposite.

“I’m so glad you said that,” Jones replied. “Actually, I have some tape of your Democratic Party members saying this on the debate stage.”

“Let’s play the clip.”

Footage then emerges from a June 2019 Democratic Presidential Primary Debate where EVERY candidate raised their hand when moderator Savannah Guthrie asked if their health care plans would cover illegal aliens.

New Leftist Talking Point: Don’t Believe Riot Videos, It’s The Algorithms!

A new leftist directive has dropped. It’s essentially this… You might see some rioty looty kind of videos out of LA and now other cities across the US, but that’s doesn’t mean there’s lawlessness, because it’s the algorithms… or something.

So far from the legacy media we’ve been told what look like chaotic anarchic riots are actually ‘mostly peaceful’, ‘fun’, ‘joyful’, ‘pretty quiet’, ‘relatively mellow’, ‘celebratory’ and all about ‘hope and community’.

We’ve also been told that the riots, sorry, relatively mellow gatherings don’t really matter because they’re concentrated on areas where metropolitan elites don’t ever visit.

Now, NBC News Correspondent Gadi Schwartz has claimed that what people are actually seeing “depends on what your feed is putting in front of your face, a lot of it is algorithmically-controlled.”

Oh. We thought we saw mass looting, but maybe that’s just the algorithm?

Schwartz further suggested that “people are seeing what looks like lawlessness around places in Los Angeles.”

Yes. Yes it does. 

Is it not that then?

Schwartz continued, “Here we saw protests that were sizable, yesterday. Today, there’s almost no one here, and yet, on the 101, we just saw some protesters shut things down.”
