Flotsam and Jetsam - Squatters Rights?

Just a bit of news/opinion on the Key Bridge disaster. I expect it will fade from the news as the hard work gets going, and the options for photo ops diminishes. At Da Caller, NTSB Confirms 764 Tons Of Hazardous Materials Aboard Cargo Ship, Reveal Black Box Data Prior To Bridge Impact. Out of 52,000 tons of cargo capacity? I'm not surprised. Beege Welborn at Hat Hair,  Next Day: The Immediate Practical Implications and Effects of the Baltimore Bridge Disaster. At Da Wire, WaPo Wastes No Time Slamming Francis Scott Key Again After Namesake Baltimore Bridge Destroyed "Key had "racist views," the paper said." He was a slave owner who opposed slavery, not an uncommon view in the the revolutionary era. I predict that if the bridge is rebuilt, it will be named, maybe after Freddy Gray. From the Signal, Dave Ditch explains How to Repair the Key Bridge Without Breaking the Bank "First, all officials must be clear that the cost of rebuilding should mostly or entirely fall on the owners and operators of the ship, even if the incident was purely accidental. While litigation on such an important matter could take time to resolve, taxpayers shouldn’t be responsible for the cost of a privately caused disaster. . . .Rather than simply adding to the long-term debt, Congress has many options to repurpose funds from the 2021 bill, including:

  • Canceling the administration’s $3.1 billion grant to California’s wildly dysfunctional high-speed rail project.
  • Reducing federal spending on programs for low-priority, local-only infrastructure such as hiking trails, bike paths, and sidewalks.
  • Pulling forward highway and bridge funds from allocations for 2025 and 2026 so they are available for the project starting in 2024.

Now, more than two decades after her controversial release from prison, she serves on the advisory board of an anti-prison group alongside embattled judicial nominee Adeel Mangi." At TNP,  ‘Top Soldier’ in Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam Linked to Biden White House. Dave Bernstein at Insty says the BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TRIES TO FURTHER BALKANIZE AMERICANS: "OMB has decided to make America’s arbitrary racial classifications even more arbitrary by turning the multi-racial Hispanic ethnic classification into a racial one, and to add a new and entirely incoherent Middle East and North Africa racial classification (which will include Israeli and Mizrahi Jews, Turks, Persians, Arabs, Chaldeans, Kurds, Berbers and more; in fact, given the choice between white and MENA, as a Jew with close ancestral and familial ties to Israel, and no ties to Europe for over a hundred years, I’m going with white AND MENA, as will many Ashkenazi Jews. It’s totally, as I noted, incoherent)."
