What does the Golden Dome and the plus-up in money for the Space Force and other defense-related space systems tell us about the Trump Administration's national defense strategy? And is it sustainable? Laura Winter speaks with Peter Garretson, a senior fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council, and co-author of the book “The Next Space Race: A Blueprint for American Primacy”; and Sam Wilson, Director, Strategy and Program Support, Center for Space Policy and Strategy, at The Aerospace Corporation. Wilson's report, “FY 2026 Defense Space Budget: Emergence of Golden Dome”, can be found here: https://csps.aerospace.org/papers/fy-2026-defense-space-budget-emergence-golden-dome

Fox News star Maria Bartiromo rolled out yesterday another pathbreaking special on the Chinese Communist Party's unrestricted warfare against America.  This one features the Commander of U.S. Space Force, a developer of cutting-edge military technology and other experts assessing the PRC's ominous determination to beat us to the moon – and to use a base there to control access to it and the “cis-lunar” space in between and project power even here on earth.  A key contributor to the show is our colleague, Roger Robinson, who described in a powerful interview with Maria yesterday that – as with myriad other Chinese military programs – the CCP's weaponization of space is being enabled, in part, by unwitting U.S. investors. Mr. Robinson will be unveiling today a report detailing the extent, and dire implications, of this aspect of our insane underwriting of the enemy.  That must stop. This is Frank Gaffney.

Send us a textPeaches unloads on a wild week in defense news—DARPA drops the mic with the world's biggest real-time electronic warfare range, the U.S. throws pocket change at Panama's border, and NATO still cries poor while leaning on U.S. muscle. From AI-driven target tracking and new Air Force dorm “suites” that'll make Marines jealous, to Space Force finally cutting ties with Russian rocket engines, this episode swings between jaw-dropping tech and head-shaking policy moves. Oh, and we're apparently giving China our AI chips—because what could possibly go wrong? Strap in for sharp takes, a few laughs, and the kind of blunt commentary you won't hear from the Pentagon press office.

Send us a textPeaches kicks off this drop swinging at everything from the chaos in D.C. to the ridiculous idea that military academies ever needed race-based admissions. National Guard troops are back in the capital because apparently it's become Mad Max with monuments. Cyber interns get a salute for their terrifyingly cool hacking skills, a World War I badass gets long-overdue recognition, and Space Force is about to light off the Vulcan rocket like it's the Fourth of July. There's also some sharp-shooting at West Point, desert fun with the Marines, and a not-so-subtle reminder that your enemy doesn't give a damn about your DEI training—they just want you dead. Strap in.

In this episode of The Experimental Leader podcast, hosts Melanie Parrish and Mel Rutherford speak with Col. Bree Fram, one of the highest-ranking out transgender officers in the U.S. Space Force. Together, they explore the complexities of leading with authenticity, the unique strengths queer leaders bring to their work, and the emotional toll of being visible in challenging political times.From the superpowers of queer leadership to navigating misgendering in professional spaces, this conversation offers an unfiltered look at identity, advocacy, and the courage it takes to keep leading when the stakes are high.

Send us a textPeaches is back with your August 11 Ops Brief — and as always, the military circus doesn't disappoint. From the DoD's 76th birthday party (cake not included) to the Navy handing CENTCOM over like a hot potato, it's been a week. We hit the SkillsBridge hustle, Red Flag roaring over Nellis, Space Force flexing with upgraded sensors and a part-time gig option, and yes — a Guard Special Tactics Squadron in Tampa is on the way. Also, we cover why the X-37B space plane might be cooler than your favorite sci-fi movie. Buckle up — this is your unapologetic, caffeine-fueled sitrep.

Update on our week:    Daniel: 

Send us a textWelcome back to the Ones Ready team room, where Peaches kicks down the door with another unapologetic ops brief. We're starting off hot with Fort Bliss turning into a glorified detention center because, shocker, we're drowning in illegal immigration. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard just wrecked someone's narco empire by snatching up $88 million in drugs—casually dropped in San Diego like it's trash day.But the real jaw-dropper? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, 9/11's mastermind, pled guilty… to avoid the death penalty. Let that sink in. Mr. "I'll send people to blow themselves up for paradise" is too scared to face his own end. Punk move of the century. Peaches doesn't hold back, comparing him—and other cowardly leaders—to the same political class here at home. It's savage, and it's spot on.On the Air Force side, we've got nuclear microreactors going online in Alaska (because why not test clean energy near Russia), the PT test still killing people who dry-scoop pre-workout, and a whole lot of effort to look like we're “resilient” with energy security buzzwords. Also, surprise—transitioning service members just got denied early retirement pay. That's gonna stir the pot.Then there's Space Force. Yep, they're doing “Guardian Arena,” a Roman-gladiator-meets-tech-bro competition to prove they can actually sweat. Physical strength, mental agility, teamwork, and probably a whole lot of cosplay armor. Peaches is skeptical—but weirdly intrigued.It's all unfiltered, rapid-fire, and zero apologies. Let's go.

This week the U.S. Space Force concluded its largest service-wide exercise that also included officers from Allied and Partner nations in leadership positions. Lessons from the exercise will be used to better inform the implementation of the Space Force's new International Partnership Strategy. Laura Winter speaks with Air Marshal Paul “Godders” Godfrey, the Assistant Chief of Space Operations for Future Concepts and Partnerships, and the highest-ranking non-U.S. officer serving in the Space Force. He was the Director of the 609th Air Operations Centre in Al Udeid before becoming the inaugural Commander of U.K. Space Command.

Jon Herold dives into a whirlwind of breaking developments, starting with Donald Trump's push for a ceasefire in Ukraine and a confirmed upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin. He speculates Saudi Arabia or the UAE could host, tying it to recent high-level Middle East diplomacy. Herold then unpacks Supreme Court precedent that could widen the RICO Grande case to include private citizens, hinting at a massive potential sweep. Other key updates include Trump's executive order for a new census excluding illegal immigrants, surging tariffs that bring Apple manufacturing back to the U.S., and shifting Abraham Accords dynamics following Israeli strikes on Iran. He covers Intel's CEO facing CCP-ties scrutiny, Space Force satellite advances, and Truth Social's new AI-powered search. The episode closes with FBI shakeups over January 6 agent secrecy, RFK Jr. slashing vaccine funding, and Herold's trademark banter with the live chat.

Listen to the dynamic discussion with Lieutenant General DeAnna Burt, Chief Operations Officer of the United States Space Force, as we explore how the Space Force is driving innovation and integration to stay ahead in today's contested space domain. From weaving cyber into space architectures and advancing Moving Target Indication (MTI), to sustaining weapon systems, supporting combatant commands, and deepening collaboration with allies and partners – this conversation will highlight how the Space Force is preparing for the future fight.

From futuristic defense to flashbacks of the past — this week's headlines pack a punch. Lockheed Martin sets its sights on 2028 with plans to demo space-based missile interceptors, a major leap in orbital warfare (04:56). Meanwhile, a former Space Force officer once sidelined for controversial Marxism comments is now the Air Force's second-highest civilian (19:07). As the Air Force calls for service-wide M18 pistol inspections, other branches are standing by Sig Sauer (32:21). And we pause to remember the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 — a moment that forever changed the world (43:25). https://lateforchangeover.com/

Send us a textPeaches dives headfirst into the DoD's latest chaos buffet—$5.4 billion budget reshuffles, fighter jet production whiplash, and the Air Force playing safety dad with the M18 pistol. Meanwhile, cartel operatives are heading to Ukraine for drone training (because why the hell not), and a Swedish ISIS fanatic gets clocked for war crimes. Toss in some missileer cancer cleanup, a grounded Skyraider II PA scandal, and a missing sailor off the USS George Washington… and you've got yourself a full-blown geopolitical migraine. Don't worry—we made it snarky, so you don't have to cry.

Send us a textIn today's daily drop, Peaches blasts through the latest ops headlines like a Hellfire through a Toyota Hilux. From exposing our hilariously thin missile reserves to roasting tech bros whose drones crumble outside PowerPoint presentations, this one's a full-body workout in situational awareness. AFRICOM's been busy lighting up Somalia, the National Guard's turning Northern Michigan into a drone graveyard, and Space Force is slinging lasers and quantum gadgets into orbit like it's Star Wars cosplay. Meanwhile, Air Force Global Strike Command promises a “seamless” transition—LOL—and another Humvee goes full NASCAR in Wyoming. Also, Tricare might finally stop fleecing military families for having adult kids. That's not just news, that's a miracle. Buckle up, team. This episode's got more truth than a cleared EPR.

Send us a textStrap 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.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to the General Services Administration on Friday demanding more information about how the agency is using Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot built by Elon Musk's xAI. The correspondence comes after FedScoop reporting earlier this month revealed that government coders at GSA seemed to be looking at integrating Grok into their artificial intelligence work. Other sources told FedScoop that Grok had recently been approved for integration as an option into the GSAi app, a platform the agency has built to help federal workers access various generative AI models. Four days after the publication of FedScoop's story, xAI officially announced a “Grok for Government” service and confirmed that the company had been working to make its product available through GSA. As a result, Grok said ”every federal government department, agency, or office” could now access the company's tools. xAI also announced a $200 million Defense Department contract. The federal government's interest in using Grok — which recently espoused antisemitic and pro-Hitler content — has received pushback from Democrats. A group of Jewish Democrats recently wrote to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about their concerns with the tool. Democrats in the House AI Caucus have also raised issues with the use of Grok, as has Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who condemned the Pentagon contract on the chamber's floor. But the latest letter, obtained by FedScoop, demands more information on the GSA's work with Grok. The letter was addressed to Stephen Ehikian, the deputy GSA administrator who led the agency on an acting basis until earlier this week, and signed by Reps. Robert Garcia of California and Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts, the current and former ranking members of the committee, respectively. An outage last week of Starlink, the satellite internet service run by Elon Musk's company SpaceX, did have an impact on some services in the federal government. While several civilian federal agencies told FedScoop that the service interruption didn't disrupt operations, the U.S. Space Force confirmed that Starshield, the military-focused communications service on the Starlink network, was taken offline during the outage. “The Space Systems Command Commercial SATCOM Communications Office procures Starshield Global Access services over the Starlink Satellites/network,” a spokesperson for Space Systems Command told FedScoop. The spokesperson continued: “As such, the global outage did affect CSCO customers for the entire duration of the outage (~2.5hrs for most users). Services had a partial restoration midway through the outage and a complete restoration by the stated end time.” Defense customers are currently able to access Starshield through the Space Force, among other procurement mechanisms, SpaceX's website states. SpaceX says Starshield is for “national defense use cases” while Starlink “is not intended for any military end-uses or end-users.” Several branches of the U.S. military are currently testing or using Starshield, including the Air Force and the Navy. A spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard told FedScoop earlier this month that the agency began installing both Starlink and Starshield back in 2023.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.  Donald Trump takes rightful pride in his record of “Promises made, promises kept.” He delivered on another important pledge with the restoration to the U.S. Air Force of one its most formidable leaders, my colleague Matthew Lohmeier.  Lieutenant Colonel Lohmeier's installation last week as that service's Under Secretary not only rights a terrible wrong – namely, Team Biden's termination of his career as an exceptional aviator and rising officer in the new Space Force for publishing a damning indictment of the Marxists' cultural warfare-enabled takedown of the U.S. military.  It also puts Matt in a key management position to execute President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's orders to strip out such so-called “Wokeism,” root and branch.  Unsurprisingly, keeping that promise is proving hard to do given how deep the Left's insidious rot has penetrated and subverted our armed forces.  Let's roll, Matt.

In this mind-expanding episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco is joined by Ismael Perez for a wide-ranging conversation that blends cosmic revelations with today's most pressing political realities. Ismael provides deep insights into the role of Space Force, advanced technologies like Looking Glass, and the multidimensional nature of 5D warfare unfolding around the globe. Together, they explore interstellar treaties, covert multidimensional wars, and the hidden histories of powerful political figures—including the shocking and controversial question: just how many Obama clones are out there? This episode also uncovers explosive truths about multiple assassination attempts on President Trump, the misuse of funds by Democrats, and the pervasive corruption plaguing sanctuary cities and California's political landscape. Ihmael further takes us deep into the mysterious realm of time travel, revealing historic alliances and connections involving the Trump family that could rewrite everything we thought we knew about history. From cosmic secrets to deep state deception, this is a conversation designed to shake the foundations of the mainstream narrative.

Episode Summary: Spacepower is fundamentally reliant on the cyber domain—it is the backbone of connectivity for constellations on orbit, their ground stations, and connectivity to warfighters. Point blank: every bit of data and every command sent to space systems transits the cyber domain. Tackling the challenges of leading cyber and data efforts of the Space Force falls on the small, but mighty team of the S6. From administrative to mission networks and data repositories, ensuring Guardians have reliable, capable, and secure cyber connectivity underpins our nation's ability to achieve space superiority. Join Heather Penney as she explores this fascinating topic with Col. Nathan “Crazy” Iven, the acting Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Cyber and Data; and Seth Whitworth, the Associate Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Cyber and Data.

Send us a textPeaches drops into the team room to roast the DoD's latest brainchild—the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense program. Because nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like duct-taping old tech to new threats. From sketchy F-35 upgrades to AI-driven psyops and a pistol that just…goes off, this episode is a rollercoaster of bureaucratic brilliance and defense déjà vu. Oh, and shoutout to the DoD for finally noticing that maybe, just maybe, over-classifying everything isn't helping. Get ready for Space Force buzzwords, Air Force growing pains, and a masterclass in defense spending madness.

Send us a textPeaches is back with another scathing ops brief—this time dragging the DoD for everything from mystery missiles and “indefinite quantity” contracts (yeah, that's real) to billion-dollar Iron Dome knockoffs. From Space Force promotions to “near-miss” B-52s and the Pentagon handing OpenAI a $200M AI war chest, this episode dives deep into the weird, the wild, and the “we're definitely not overfunded” chaos of 2025. Also: the real reason the Air Force hit their recruiting goals early (spoiler: they didn't). Oh, and yes, Tim Kennedy's name comes up... brace yourselves.

Send us a textPeaches returns with another banger, torching bureaucratic blunders and Joint Force nonsense. From the Pentagon flexing like it just invented drone grenades, to the DoD accidentally letting Chinese engineers tinker with our cloud—this one's a spicy ride. He dives into the F-35 budget cut drama, Space Force cosplay, uniform updates that no one asked for, and yes, another near-miss in the skies. Also: Nashville OTS still has slots, and you might even get Uncle Sam to foot the bill (if your chain isn't lame). Buckle up—your commute just got smarter and more sarcastic.

Integrating space capabilities across Europe and Africa present unique and growing challenges in two complex regions. As Commander of U.S. Space Forces Europe and Africa, Brig. Gen. Jacob Middleton has the lead role in supporting both U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command with space capabilities ranging from intelligence to navigation and communications to space electronic warfare. Join the Mitchell Institute for this important conversation with a Space Force warfighter on the leading edge.

Episode Summary: As America's interests in space grow and humanity ventures further from Earth, the need to have Guardians in space to secure and protect U.S. interests will likely stand as an emerging requirement. We've seen this with every form of exploration: human presence will be interlinked with national standing, economic expansion, setting norms, and guarding security interests. That said, there's a lot on the Space Force's plate and they don't have the resources to cover down on all their currently assigned missions. Balancing future investments against current demands is a perennial challenge. Partnerships with commercial organizations may help unravel this Gordian Knot. Join Heather Penney as she explores this fascinating topic with Max Haot, Chief Executive Officer for Vast, a private U.S. company building next-generation space stations, and John “Slick” Baum.

Send us a textWelcome to your no-fluff, sarcasm-fueled download of the Ones Ready Ops Brief for July 17th. In this episode, we cover everything from Excel-budget nightmares and B-1 Lancer drama to Space Force doing... whatever it is Space Force does. Jared rips through the latest military headlines with his signature blend of humor, eye rolls, and reluctant patriotism.We kick things off with a sneak peek at the Operator Training Summit and a shoutout to the surprisingly effective (and very unscammed) Tasty Gains gummies. Then it's all gas, no brakes through a gauntlet of DoD absurdities: pipe-dream weapon standardization in NATO, a billion-dollar GPS system that's somehow still in testing, and the Air Force saving $10 billion by using—wait for it—Excel. Yeah, that's a real thing.We wrap with cyber hacks, Ukraine fatigue, F-35 wishlists, and a whole lot of “wait, that's real?” moments. Buckle up, this one's got teeth.

With a fleet of 160 fighters, the French Air and Space Force maintains global presence while demands increase. How do they do it, and what's next?

Send us a textHope you packed your sense of humor and a fire extinguisher—because this episode scorches everything from overpriced moldy barracks in Guam to the Pentagon ghosting Aspen like it's a bad Tinder date. Jared runs down the biggest WTFs across the Department of Defense with a tactical blend of sarcasm and salt. We're talking billions for broken plumbing, drones that can't hang in Alaska, the F-35 backlog (finally) clearing, and a KC-46 that decided midair was the perfect time for a wardrobe malfunction. Plus, the Air Force tries fashion policing again (no more eyelash extensions, folks), Space Force dreams of relevancy, and China continues its “quantity over quality” military glow-up. Also, Nashville OTS is coming—bring your snorkel and your ruck.

Chapter 23 opens with a sweeping exploration of how the Space Force emerged from a decades-long struggle between visionaries and entrenched bureaucracy. In this conversation, retired Air Force General Stephen Kwast recounts how the idea of space dominance was born in the minds of strategists as far back as the 1940s and why it took until 2019, and the political will of President Trump, to finally establish an independent military branch. General Kwast explains how the Space Force differs from Space Command, why consolidating satellite control was a historic milestone, and how public-private partnerships with companies like SpaceX will transform defense and daily life. The discussion charts the path from Sputnik to Starlink, weaving in Cold War lessons, bureaucratic infighting, and the technological breakthroughs needed to fuel what he calls a golden age. Throughout, the episode warns of the dangers of overclassification, the fragility of centralized systems, and the urgency of building resilience. The narrative closes with a powerful call for civic vigilance and the conviction that space power will be the cornerstone of America's security and prosperity in the years ahead.

Welcome to a special Tuesday-edition of Valley of Depth, powered by Integrate.John Conafay spent years inside the space and defense worlds, from Spire to Astranis to the U.S. Air Force, and saw the same problem everywhere: complex programs were managed with spreadsheets, slide decks, and…crossed fingers. So in 2022, he founded Integrate to fix it. What started as a scrappy startup with five engineers has since landed what he describes as one of the largest software contracts in Space Force history. We discuss: Why defense programs are still run on outdated, fragmented toolsWhat Integrate actually does and how it's different from Smartsheet or Microsoft ProjectHow Conafay won a $25M Space Force contractThe architecture choices behind real-time collaboration in classified environmentsWhy internal tools and status quo software can't scale with complexityAnd much, much more… • Chapters •00:00 – Intro01:57 – John's background02:59 – What is Integrate?04:02 – Pain points in complex project management06:08 – John's interest in aerospace10:01 – Core product at Integrate11:20 – Why tools weren't implemented before12:50 – DoD project management & efficiency loss14:29 – Multiplayer coordination approach16:19 – Hardest integration problem17:40 – Security architecture20:17 – Go-to-market & government entry22:18 – $25M Space Force contract26:14 – Future Space Force goals27:59 – Government vs commercial customers29:16 – Pricing30:13 – Profitability, team, funding, scaling32:23 – Ideal investor33:20 – Competitors34:50 – Competing with internal tools36:01 – 10-year product vision37:36 – Strategic risks in the next decade39:42 – Hardest part of building Integrate41:34 – Misconceptions about working with the DoD42:55 – Advice for founders & younger self43:53 – John in another life • Show notes •John's socials — https://x.com/jconafayIntegrate's socials —https://x.com/Integrate_coIntegrate's website — https://integrate.co/Mo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials  — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/  • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

Send us a textWelcome to the July 11th edition of the Daily Drop, where the Pentagon plays Monopoly with rare earth minerals, drones become the new IEDs, and Trump hands out Patriot missiles like party favors—with NATO picking up the tab (allegedly). Jared unpacks the latest military madness with his usual blend of sarcasm, side-eyes, and straight-up disbelief. From AI drone swarms to banned eyelash extensions, from therapy dogs saving morale to space lasers tracking Chinese satellites—this one's got it all. Oh, and apparently we bombed Iran's nuclear sites… but maybe didn't hit anything? It's like a military-themed episode of “Nailed It!”

Send us a textIt's July 10th, and the Daily Drop is back with Jared dropping truth bombs harder than a B-1 on afterburner. From the announcement of the next Operator Training Summit in Nashville (spoiler: it's gonna slap) to the Pentagon lobbing real ones at Iran, this episode's got more hot takes than a Twitter war during a government shutdown.Jared breaks down military logistics like your drunk uncle explaining the NFL draft—passionate, slightly unhinged, but mostly right. He rants about AF simulators being broken garbage, drones flying into everything, the VA being predictably dysfunctional, and why the Air Force is still pretending they might keep the B-1 (spoiler: they're not). Also, the Space Force apparently needs another $6 billion. For what? Who knows.If you like your defense briefings with a side of sarcasm, a shot of cynicism, and topped with real-world experience, this one's for you.

Send us a textThe Ones Ready crew is back with a blistering Daily Drop that reads like a classified briefing laced with caffeine and outrage. Jared goes scorched-earth on the U.S. finally banning Chinese farmland buys (spoiler: it's 2025 and somehow this wasn't already illegal). Meanwhile, the Army wants to quadruple Patriot missiles—because what's deterrence without volume? The Air Force still can't decide if the F-15EX should have a roommate. Space Force gets a budget bump, but bureaucratic gatekeepers still cling to outdated classification nonsense like it's a Cold War cosplay. And don't worry, the KC-46 is still a flying contradiction—does it even have SATCOM?Oh, and if you're still here: Nashville. October. OTS. Let's go.

Send us a textIn this no-holds-barred Daily Drop, Peaches dives headfirst into the latest national defense chaos—from Humvees rolling through LA to Marines moonlighting as ICE support in Florida. Pete Hegseth wants to bring the warrior spirit back (because apparently we lost it), and Jared's not buying the sudden patriotism unless you're ready to pull bodies from burning cars. Meanwhile, retired four-stars are back in the game pushing for E-7s and more F-35s… but who's paying them now? The Academy is bleeding staff, a nuclear microreactor is going to Alaska (because obviously), and the Air Force just teamed up with AI-piloted Valkyrie drones like it's Skynet 2.0. Also—yes, the Space Force canceled something big. Again. Strap in, nerds.

Send us a textPeaches returns with a scorched-earth breakdown of America's latest military moves—and screwups. From counter-UAS task forces to the Pentagon's $330M-per-jet regrets, this episode tears into drone threats, Space Force drama, and Operation Midnight Hammer's massive flex… that also accidentally exposed all our weak spots. We're talking fleet gaps, busted tankers, munitions shortages, and decision-makers who keep canceling the wrong programs. Plus: the Air Force ditches sit-up alternatives (again), the F-47 enters the chat, and Iran just keeps poking the bear. If you want strategic insights laced with sarcasm, this is your ammo drop.

Send us a textThe Air Force is bleeding instructors, CENTCOM's next boss is a mystery wrapped in vagueness, and the B-2 is getting a glow-up because, well, the B-21 still isn't ready. In this Daily Drop, Jared dives into the military's latest budget frenzy, Iran's Cold War cosplay, and why creatine is now part of his mental warfare toolkit. From wildfires pulling Guard troops off security gigs to Cyber Command begging for updated dial-up, it's another day of chaos, caffeine, and congressional cash grabs. Oh—and Space Force is building GPS knockoffs just in case things get really spicy. Buckle up, nerds.

Send us a textIn this spicy Daily Drop, Jared wades through the DoD's latest chaos with all the charm of a migraine and none of the bureaucratic BS. Iranian missiles rain on Al Udeid (spoiler: we were ready), Raisin Kane flexes with Patriot batteries, and Trump might've poked the bear again—depending on who you ask. Meanwhile, the Pentagon's rolling out budget moves like a drunk accountant: retiring the A-10 (for real this time?), canceling the E-7 Wedgetail, and somehow not screwing up the Sentinel ICBM timeline… allegedly.He torches military mental health hypocrisy (hi, Joe and your stripper wives), raises an eyebrow at Air Force budget math, and mourns the tragic losses of airmen in water-related incidents. Also: Space Force gets the Pixar treatment, cloud networks are trying to unf*** comms, and one moron laser-tagged F-16s and got... nine days in jail. Cool system we've got.

Has a Secret Space Force been operating in the shadows since the 1980s?And more disturbingly—have world governments been working hand-in-hand with extraterrestrial beings all along?For decades, whispers of a covert, off-world military program have circulated among insiders, whistleblowers, and those who've dared to dig too deep. Allegations point to advanced spacecraft, lunar bases, and even missions to Mars—hidden from the public under layers of black budget secrecy. Some claim this secret space force predates the official U.S. Space Force by nearly 40 years.But here's where it gets stranger...High-ranking military insiders and former aerospace contractors have spoken of collaborations between governments and non-human intelligences—agreements struck in the dark, exchanging technology for access, experimentation… or something even more unsettling.From the “non-terrestrial officers” allegedly discovered in hacked military databases, to the claims of underground joint bases on the Moon and Mars—a picture begins to form of a breakaway civilization operating far beyond public knowledge.Is this all disinformation, or the slow drip of disclosure?Are we living in a world more bizarre than we've been led to believe?The answers may already be out there—if you know where to look.Unlock a world of mystery!Join our exclusive community and instantly access over 1,000 ad-free episodes, mind-blowing bonus segments, and much more.
