Flotsam and Jetsam - WaPoo Listing, Discarding Unwanted Load

From the Free Bacon, Downfall: Washington Post Lays Off 300 Staffers, Shuttering Sports Section and Gutting Foreign Desk as Once-Mighty Publisher Bleeds Subscribers and Money. At Hat Hair Capt. Ed hears The Penny Drop: WaPo on Life Support As Big Layoffs Start? and Mark Judge calls it The End Of the Washington Post. He's no fan after the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation battle, "It was last November, and I was at Georgetown University being interviewed by a writer for Washingtonian magazine. She is doing a profile of me, and was asking me why I disliked the media, particularly the Washington Post, with such bitterness. Yes, there was their evil hit job on me and Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, which I detailed here and in my book The Devil’s Triangle. Yet the writer kept asking me questions, sensing it went even deeper." David Harsanyi @davidharsanyi, "I generally don’t celebrate anyone losing their job, but it's the arrogance and entitlement of journalists who seem to believe they have a God-given right to be paid no matter how much money they lose or how poor a job they do that's staggering." Quote Ben Mullin @BenMullin, "A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."" Althouse, "The cuts are a sign that Jeff Bezos, who became one of the world’s richest people by selling things on the internet, has not yet figured out how to build and maintain a profitable publication on the internet." From "Washington Post Begins Laying Off More Than 300 Journalists/The layoffs will cut into The Post’s local, international and sports coverage, and reduce the number of all its employees by about 30 percent" (NYT). What's it to Bezos? Why doesn't he just bankroll the operation? Make it so good it's worthy of spending money on? Ace, Washington Post Set to Lay Off Hundreds of Employees, "They'll be completely closing down "almost the entire" sports desk. Which struck me as strange -- isn't sports a low-cost but popular section of the paper? I guess there are now so many internet sports outlets that no one cares about what a stinky old liberal thought about the latest "Commanders" game." When Bezos announce an attitude shift (which I haven't see, it seems more like they doubledowned) at the Poo, the writers and editorial staff started rooting for unsubscribers. What did they think was going to happen. FWIW, we've had a subscription to the post since we arrived in MD in 1985, IIRC. We've seen the paper shrink in size and content, and become more virulently "progressive" over the last ten years. Occasionally we have to threaten to quit to get a better deal, but it works. In the last couple of years they went from carrier delivery (which was only a little unreliable) to mail delivery, making it an afternoon arrival, and not on Sundays or holidays. I call it yesterday's news tomorrow. At this point, the only reason to get it is the crossword puzzles, and to yell or snicker at. 

PJM's Stephen Kruiser thinks There's Gotta Be a Lot of Beard Sweat in the Iranian Regime Right Now. Capt. Ed, BREAKING: Trump to Iran: Pound Sand.

At RCP, Larry Kudlow maintains Trump Was Right About Tariffs. From Breitbart Bus Dig, Warsh War One: The Battle Over QE. Insty sees INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION: "How the Fed Politicized Itself—and What a New Chair Can Do to Fix It. How did the Fed politicize itself? Gradually, then all at once. . . . In September 2022, about a year after Joseph Wang left his job at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, he came across an odd new research paper from his former employer. Wang had been a senior trader on the Open Market Trading Desk, carrying out the Fed’s monetary policy. In his five years there, the usual Fed research covered topics like inflation, labor markets, and bank capital. This paper, though, was titled “800,000 Years of Climate Risk.” “I thought that was very strange,” Wang recalled. “The Fed writing about CO2 concentrations.”"

Hat Hair's John Sexton cites an Axios Reporter: People Are Getting Carried Away With the Epstein Files. Althouse posts a Joe Rogan video with Mike Benz, "You know, if you're if you're a 70-year-old billionaire, you can't walk into a bar... and meet an 18-year-old.... I'm presuming these things are facilitated at private parties..."

Tattoo Thursday

Nicola Peltz

At Da Sun, Why Brooklyn Beckham’s decision to hide his tattoo tribute to his dad will leave David devastated.

TATTOOS are the love language of Brooklyn Beckham. With about 110 etchings sprawled across his body, inked-in words of affirmation are how he likes to express himself.

How utterly wounding, both literally and figuratively, it is then to learn the 26-year-old has intentionally covered up tributes to his father David. This, quite evidently, is a wound that runs deep. Having already tattooed over “Mama’s boy”, now it is the turn of his once-beloved dad to be erased from pigmented history. And my God, this will hurt family man Becks.
. . .
To rub salt into the still-drying wound, approximately 73 of his 110 tatts are dedicated to his US wife Nicola Peltz.

At the high cost and trouble to remove tattoos he better be planning to keep her.

Cities Have the Rock Salt Blues

You can tell when they've finished getting the streets clear in major cities. They start nagging about all the salt that was used on the roads. NBC 4 Wash,  Anacostia River contamination concerns come as snow piles grow

As D.C. scoops up snow and ice to clear streets and dumps much of it on mounds in four parking lots around the city, concerns are raised about the environmental impact on local waterways.

Construction vehicles dump the snow into large trucks that take it to parking lots at Carter Barron Amphitheater near Rock Creek Park, the old United Medical Center and two lots at the old RFK Stadium site. About 1,000 loads of the so-nicknamed “snowcrete” have piled up so far.

But near RFK flows one of those environmental concerns: the Anacostia River. “Looks filthy, and all of that black stuff, it isn't dirt, right,” Anacostia Riverkeeper Trey Sherard said. “A lot of that black stuff is little, microscopic bits of tires. It's all the things that we added into the tires.” 

“You've got trash, you've got salt, you've got unmitigated dog waste, and they're gonna be in all of these ice piles,” he said. “And it's going straight into the Anacostia River from here.”  One of his biggest concerns is all the salt that could drain into the Anacostia as the ice melts.

Bear in minds, all the rest of that stuff runs off the streets and into the river the next time it rains anyway. And while they always cite salt a potential toxic, they never list  what organisms they are concerned about.

WRICH Richmond, As snow melts, Virginia lawmakers seek alternatives and awareness to road salt. Hey, the sun will do it. You just have to wait a little longer. 

WTOP, Slightly salty water could come out of your faucet soon in these Maryland suburbs “Eventually, it’s going to wash down the storm drains. It’s going to make its way into the creeks, the streams, the rivers, our source water,” Riggins said, adding that WSSC Water regularly tests the water and it’s safe to drink. Riggins said most people likely won’t notice the saltier taste."

Flotsam and Jetsam - The View from Stolen Land

We get to start with something light today. I was going to save this for "random celebrity news", but it blew up yesterday: Breaking911 @Breaking911, ""Billie Eilish at the Grammys: "Nobody is illegal on stolen land. We need to keep fighting and speaking up. Our voices do matter...f*ck ICE."" Kind of cold, no thanks. James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames, "Let's talk about the opening part of this statement: "nobody is illegal on stolen land." We can break it down, but we should also know what it
is. What we are looking at is Chinese-style political sloganeering called "tifa" (提法). Communist communications ever since Mao took over China (and the CCP before that) almost always follow this kind of formulation, called 提法 (tífǎ), which literally translates as "watchwords" or "slogans." Literally, it means to lift up or present or highlight the core message or political principle in play through a charged slogan. . . . " But Metro remembers Billie Eilish gets permanent restraining order against man who repeatedly turned up to her home. A little casual hypocrisy is common in celebrities, as well a most humans. 

From NYPO, Native American tribe that owns land under Billie Eilish’s LA mansion has message for virtue-signaling singer "Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property, we do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country,” a Tongva spokesperson told the Daily Mail. “It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands that the greater Los Angeles Basin remains Gabrieleno Tongva territory,” the spokesperson added." Insty says THIS IS THE MOST ENTERTAINING TIMELINE: Clay Travis @ClayTravis, "A Native American tribe says that Billie Eilish’s mansion is on their stolen land. She must immediately hand title to her mansion over to the tribe and move. She stole their land. Unacceptable." Quote End Wokeness @EndWokeness, "BREAKING: Tongva Tribe says Billie Eilish is living in a mansion built on "ancestral land" taken from them." And has A QUESTION THAT ALL BLUE STATE PROPERTY OWNERS SHOULD BE ASKING: The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub, "If I’m on stolen land why the F am I paying property taxes?" CSPAN @cspan, "@SenTedCruz: "Are we right now on stolen land?" Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos: "I have no idea of the history of this land." Warner Bros. Discovery exec Bruce Campbell: "Nor do I." Cruz: "That speaks volumes...that neither of you are willing to say 'hell, no.'"

From Da Signal, House Passes Shutdown-Ending Package. At News Wax, Trump Signs Bill Ending Partial Government Shutdown. Did you notice the shut-down? Can I get a refund for what they didn't do? Also, Dems Seek Delay in Nomination Proceedings of Warsh for Fed Chair. It's what they are, it's what they do. Industry Week touts an ISM Report: Manufacturing Activity Returns to Expansion in January. Richard Grenell @RichardGrenell, "I asked the Post reporter if she knew what debt reserves were. She didn’t. She was reporting on an Arts Institution in financial crisis, paying staff with debt reserves, and didn’t even know what that meant. Reporters don’t care that they don’t know the subject matter they report on." Quote Josh Kraushaar @JoshKraushaar "“The Kennedy Center is not closing because of any structural necessity. The situation is far simpler: This is a self-inflicted crisis created by Trump and Ric Grenell, for which they bear full responsibility.”

Jeff Charles at TownHall reports US Fighter Jet Shoots Down Iranian Drone. Bob Hoge at RedState, US Blasts Iranian Drone Out of the Sky, Blocks Attempted IRGC Takeover of Oil Tanker. Fox News @FoxNews, "BREAKING: The U.S. military shot down an unmanned Iranian drone after it "aggressively approached a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier with unclear intent," a U.S. Central Command spokesman told FOX News. "USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) was transiting the Arabian Sea approximately 500 miles from Iran’s southern coast when an Iranian Shahed-139 drone unnecessarily maneuvered toward the ship," the spokesman added." James Woods @RealJamesWoods, "Are you the guy who sent pallets of cash to Iran to fund their nuclear weapons program?" Quote Barack Obama @BarackObama "If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read..." Reuters whines Musk says steps to stop Russia from using Starlink seem to have worked. From CEPA, If NATO Dies, Long Live NEATO. "It is time for Europe to bite the bullet and build a new defensive alliance because the alternative of inaction is unthinkable." "Given the geography (and Canada notwithstanding), the new alliance might reasonably be termed the North-East Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NEATO for short."

From Twitchy, One of the BIGGEST Bombshells Yet Buried in Latest Epstein Doc Dump and MUST-Read Thread Breaks It Down. Sayer Ji @sayerjigmi, "1/ The DOJ just released thousands of pages of Epstein files. And buried inside them may be one of the biggest bombshells no one is talking about: The blueprint for a 20-year financial architecture designed to turn pandemics into a profit center. Offshore vaccine funds. Pandemic reinsurance triggers. Donor-advised fund structures designed to profit under the cover of charity. Simulation programs. Career pipelines into pharma and the World Economic Forum. All built years before COVID-19. All running through Gates, JPMorgan, and Epstein. We now have the documents." PJM's Scott Pinsker enjoys a little schadenfreude, The Worldwide Humiliation of Bill Gates: From Tech God to Global Embarrassment. Althouse is struck by Fresh muffins and steaks. "If I'm reading this right, both victims and predators were conceptualized as food to Epstein and whoever Susan Hamblin is. Many of the commenters over there at X seem to think they are talking about actual food." And, Politico chooses the photograph with the blue dress. From Ace, Under Threat of Criminal Contempt, Bill and Hillary Clinton "Agree" to "Testify" about Jeffrey Epstein... But Won't Set a Date to Testify. "They claim that they'll testify -- but it's a stalling tactic. Now they want to set up a date for their testimony, but they can't commit to any particular date. So this is more contempt. Even if it happens, it will be a festival of perjuries that will make "it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" look bush-league."

In misc. Trumpiania, Don Surber puns Trump: The Wizard of Ours, "Scott Adams called him a wizard of persuasion and the cartoonist was right." At NYPo, the Divine Ms. Devine, thinks ‘Melania’ serves as a dainty middle finger to Trump’s media tormenters — who were wrong about everything. Sundance at CTH presents a Remarkable Rendering of White House Ballroom Currently Under Construction. PJM's Stephen Kruiser says Hide Your Bunnies — Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Now MAGA's Crazy Ex.

Betsy Stauffer at LI has a New Poll that Shatters the Narrative: Voters Overwhelmingly Back Deportations and ICE. “Americans support deporting those in the country illegally by a [nearly] 2-to-1 margin, 61% to 34%.” From OTP, More Than 60% Of Midterm Voters Support Deporting Illegal Immigrants, Poll Finds. Bonchie @bonchieredstate "So…wouldn’t that mean it…hasn’t become politically toxic?" Quote Eric Levitz @EricLevitz, "Donald Trump's immigration agenda has become politically toxic. And yet, as of mid-January, voters still felt the GOP was "better equipped" to handle immigration than the Democratic Party by an 11-point margin, according to a WSJ survey."

From Twitchy, a Black ICE Agent Hit With Racial Slurs After Asking Trans Agitator, ‘Are You a Man?’ Brandon Straka #WalkAway @BrandonStraka,"This scene is from an old miniseries called “Holocaust”, showing in the early days of the Nazi takeover citizens breaking windows, looting, burning things, and beating innocent people.

Cathy Salgado at PJM, New York Released Almost 7,000 Criminal Illegal Aliens. Amy Curtis @RantyAmyCurtis, "Mamdani is also telling the Queens DA not to prosecute the knife-wielding criminal.

J Michael Waller @JMichaelWaller, "This "checkpoint" looks lame, but it's the start of a network of what will become stronger and more numerous checkpoints. Such illegal checkpoints are early nodes of an illegal policing system characteristic of insurgencies worldwide. Loyal citizens should take them down." Nick Arama at RedState sees the Anti-ICE Crew Is Not Happy at All About What Just Happened to Their 'Checkpoint' in Minneapolis Minneapolis Spring @mpls_spring, "Defenders report: Everyone's safe, but they rolled up pretty heavy, stole the barricading materials and most of the supplies." johnny maga @_johnnymaga, "Some patriot purchased a pro-ICE billboard in San Francisco ahead of the Super Bowl declaring them the “Defensive player of the year” and it’s triggering all of the libs. “It made me sick to my stomach.” This is awesome."

"Nothing is "temporary" -- it all depends on correctly crossing and dotting the "t's"and "i's" after the right calls and emails are exchanged with enough agencies to make a judge happy months later." NYPo reports the Judge who blocked Trump’s Haitian deportations bankrolled Dems — including Biden who let migrants in.

Nobody in the Party really offers a solution, though their brightest think we should build more housing."

Stacy McCain is saddened by the ‘End of Watch’ for a Georgia Cop "When you think of law enforcement in Georgia, you might think of guys named Bubba or Roy, but probably not Pradeep Tamang, a native of Nepal, a small country wedged between India and Tibet.
