The Guthrie kidnapping caper in Tucson Arizona continues to go nowhere fast. Yesterday's breathless reporting mostly concerned a discarded latex or nitrile glove (or a pair), found on a roadside a mile or more from the scene, which may or may not turn out to be related. In the course of expounding on this they became aware that gloves were also found at the scene, and that the Pima County Sheriffs and the FBI were fighting over who get to process them. DNA evidence on gloves could lead to a CODUS match, and failing that, a familial match. FBI released a description of the person at the door which leave a lot of room, a 5 ft 9-10 man of "average build," with a dirt common Walmart backpack. Sister Toldja at RedState, Reports Pima County Sheriff Pulls Stunt in Nancy Guthrie Case That Has the FBI Fuming. Matt Vespa at TownHall thinks The Nancy Guthrie Abduction Story Has Become the Willy Wonka Ferry Ride of Horror. Yeah, I don't think a happy ending is likely.
PJM's VodkaPundit wonders What in the Actual Hell Is Going on in Russia? Peter St Onge, Ph.D. @profstonge, "And just like that, BRICS is over." Quote, BRICS News @BRICSinfo, "JUST IN: Russia memo proposes return to the US dollar system in pitch to President Trump." SightBringer @_The_Prophet__, "This is the preamble to strategic decoupling. The United States has begun the audit of empire. The tone is paternal but the move is surgical. Europe is being warned that the subsidy era is ending. The Pax Americana scaffolding is being dismantled in phases. This is phase one. Washington no longer sees Europe as a strategic force multiplier. It sees entropy. Fragmentation. Electoral volatility. Economic sclerosis. Moral fatigue. The Pentagon knows Europe will hesitate when the next real test comes. That hesitation is now priced in. So the U.S. is repositioning before the liabilities crystallize. The American defense apparatus is reallocating trust to actors who can project force and absorb risk without ambiguity. Japan. India. Israel. Select Gulf states. Australia. NATO, as constructed, is a legacy structure. Legacy structures degrade under new constraints. . .

Referring to the Bondi hearing, Michael Tracey @mtracey, "Every single "Epstein victim" pictured here was an adult at the time of their claimed victimization. Has the media bothered to clarify this?" Tim Young @TimRunsHisMouth, "Stacey Plaskett was a Jeffrey Epstein puppet in Congress... He was literally texting her what to say in at least one hearing. This should be the biggest story in America... and she should be immediately expelled from Congress." Quote Bethany O’Leary @BBMagaMom, "JUST IN: Emails in the Epstein files reference Rep. Stacey Plaskett coordinating a meeting with Jeffrey Epstein, including directions to his island. Why was a sitting member of Congress arranging meetings with a convicted sex offender?"
Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas, "
I’m listening…" Quote chairmanwon @chairmanwon "Trump should launch a lawsuit immediatly to reverse the 1846 Retrocession of parts of DC to Virginia. This move would immediately flip VA Red by shifting ~400,000 voters to DC, and force a redistricting of VA's congressional seats that would benefit republicans. The 1846 retrocession has never been ruled on by SCOTUS and there is a solid constitutional case that Clause (Art. I, § 8) established a permanent federal trust that Congress had no constitutional authority to alienate. This move would also undo a historic injustice. The 1846 retrocession was a move to appease slaveholders in Alexandria amid fears that DC would ban the slave trade... as they did in 1850. We would Make DC Square again for that reason alone."

SightBringer @_The_Prophet__ "Here is the bare truth. California is entering the seizure phase of the wealth cycle. The productive core has thinned. The debt load is locked. The spending base cannot shrink without civil fracture. The only lever left is the static pool of accumulated capital that remains geographically or legally tethered. That tether becomes the target. Wealth taxes are designed to drain the visible stores of value before exit accelerates. It is a liquidation impulse masked as equity. The system senses its own depletion and attempts to extract the last residues of yield from those who stayed. . . "

The probe is examining whether these organizations made “false, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims” in their marketing, advertising, or guidance related to pediatric gen. dys. treatment. This includes scrutiny of statements about the “safety” “effectiveness”, and “benefits” of such care and whether they adequately disclosed risks."
