Strap in, because this “daily drop” is a full-throttle rollercoaster of Pentagon absurdity and global WTFs. From promoting a former Space Force whistleblower to Under Secretary of the Air Force, to blowing $200M on a border wall while ignoring busted pistols and flood victims—this episode doesn’t pull punches. Peaches goes off on political aircraft pork, war with China (spoiler: lots of body bags), and the Space Force’s asteroid defense ambitions. Oh, and yes, Pizza Cat is alive and well. You're welcome, internet.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • Trump’s DEI guy now runs the Air Force—what could go wrong?
  • War with China = body bags, busted recovery plans, and a whole lotta regrets
  • The Osprey: still flying, still garbage, still political
  • Pentagon “loses track” of where parts come from—good luck with that war prep
  • Sig M18 pistols might shoot you without pulling the trigger
  • Border wall now paid for with Guam construction funds (because priorities)
  • Space Force vs NASA: who gets to shoot asteroids?
  • Pizza Cat lives! Probably the most functional thing in CENTCOM
  • Think tanks banned—because Aspen is just too “globalist”
  • The B-21 is almost here… unless Congress breaks it first
