Happy Friday. Here are a few stories that caught our eye this week:

UN Judge Prosecuting Crimes Against Humanity Kept a Slave

Lydia Mugambe had quite the résumé:

High Court judge in Uganda. PhD candidate at Oxford. UN judicial appointee to the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals—a body tasked with handling cases of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Oh, and she’s also a part-time slaveholder.

A UK court just sentenced Mugambe to six years in prison for forcing a young Ugandan woman into unpaid labor, which, I believe under most definitions, qualifies as slavery.

You really can’t make this up: a woman selected by the United Nations to help adjudicate crimes against humanity… was convicted of crimes against humanity.

Of course, this type of hypocrisy is nothing new for the UN.

We’re talking about a body that has appointed China, Cuba, and Venezuela to the UN Human Rights Council.

Yet the UN Human Rights Council has passed more resolutions condemning Israel than any other country on earth—more than Iran, North Korea, China, and Syria combined.

We should all rest easy knowing the world’s leading human rights institutions remain firmly in the hands of the ‘experts’.

US Navy’s Biggest Adversary is the US Navy

You probably remember how, last week, a $60 million fighter jet fell overboard from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier.

According to officials, the ship had made a hard, evasive turn to dodge missile fire from Yemen’s Houthi rebels, which contributed to the aircraft’s sudden plunge into the sea.

OK, so maybe everyone makes mistakes. And yet, it just happened again.

This past Tuesday—literally eight days later—another fighter jet went overboard from the exact same ship. This time it happened while the plane was landing— the tailhook missed the arresting wire, the jet failed to stop, and it just kept going… right into the ocean.

Another $60+ million gone. Pretty soon, we’ll be talking about real money…

That brings the USS Truman’s 2025 total to two jets lost, one collision with a merchant vessel, and one friendly-fire shootdown.

And that’s just this year.

A couple years ago, the Navy racked up three major collisions in four months, including the USS Fitzgerald, which killed seven sailors after slamming into a container ship, and the USS John S. McCain, which managed to plow into a tanker, killing ten more.

Both incidents were chalked up to “navigation errors” and “confusion on the bridge.” But that shouldn’t be surprising when you look at Navy leadership.

Last May, Admiral Robert Burke—the Navy’s former #2—was arrested for bribery. He funneled millions in contracts to a private company, then took a $500,000-a-year job with them after retiring. That company, naturally, provides “leadership training.” So a corrupt admiral hired a corrupt company to train the next generation of Navy leaders. Great.

Meanwhile, the Navy continues to shrink. Congress says it’s supposed to have 355 battle-ready ships. It’s got around 280, many of which are rusting Cold War leftovers. And even the new ones are riddled with defects.

But don’t worry. The Navy has its priorities straight.

When they launched their first co-ed submarine last fall—the USS New Jersey, nicknamed “Jersey Girl”—they didn’t talk about firepower or strategic capability. No, they celebrated it as “a testament to the strength that diversity brings to our Navy,” and “a symbol of progress, breaking barriers.”

Because nothing strikes fear into adversaries like diversity and inclusion.

Drag shows weren’t exactly a great look for a military still recovering from the humiliating 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. And now, in the Red Sea, they’re sinking their own planes. No enemy required.
