But, but, but before that, Althouse, First, he just exclaims "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!" but then he thinks again, and by "thinks again," I don't mean he questioned whether "HAPPY" is the right word.

Drew Berquist, Trump Pardons ‘Century Men’ During West Point Commencement Speech. 'Century Men' are cadets with 100 or more hours of punishment tours for minor infractions.
The battle to get Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' through congress is starting to heat up. At NewsMax, Sen. Schmitt: Senate Aims to Polish Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' and Sen. Paul: Big Beautiful Bill Spending Cuts 'Wimpy,' 'Anemic'. True enough, but way better than you would get from the Democrats. LifeZette, Senator Ron Johnson: GOP Has the Votes to Stall Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful’ Bill. "Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) said Sunday that there are enough Republican senators prepared to halt President Donald Trump’s budget reconciliation package until concerns over federal spending and the national deficit are addressed."

At Hat Hair, Dave Strom on Biden's Brain: It Wasn't a Cover Up; It Was a Hoax and Larry Elder, The Astonishing Chutzpah of CNN's Jake Tapper. "You co-wrote a new book in which you brazenly accuse the Biden administration of orchestrating a "cover-up" to conceal the former president's cognitive decline. But you were complicit. You played a major role." PJM's Matt Margolis say Now We Know the Real Reason Tapper and Thompson Wrote About Biden, so they can attack Trump over his age. The money is just a bonus. Adam Carolla @adamcarolla, "He wanted Biden to win, so he lied to himself." Quote Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald, "Jake Tapper -- at the age of 56 and after 30 years in what one may loosely call "journalism" -- pretends to have just woken up and realized what is, in fact, the first axiom of Journalism 101: politicians and governments lie and journalists shouldn't blindly believe them. Clyp Keeper @DGrayTexas45 "Remember when “Dr” Jill Biden told Jake Tapper he couldn’t talk or mention any of Biden’s Gaffes anymore “because of Donald Trump”? Maybe this is why Tapper stayed quiet for four years while anyone with a functioning brain could see Biden was toast." At RedState, Mike Miller hears a PBS Host Says People Who Blast Media Cover-Up of Biden Decline Don't Understand 'How Reporting Works' and Sister Toldja says Here We Go: Democrats Begin Unraveling After Floodgates Open on Joe Biden's Decline. At NewsBusters, Before Tapper’s Book, Washington Week Host Mocked Warnings from Rep. Phillips, Hur. At Althouse, "I think there was a feeling — like, a lot of members of the Democratic Party that were seeing this or saw moments um of him seeming out of it — um that going public was not going to change [Biden's] mind." ""It was only going to help Donald Trump, um, and I think that's how a lot of them rationalized it. Now whether or not history will judge them, you know, as being right for doing that, um, you know, we will see, but this is also part of the reason why the White House was shielding him from as many people as possible including Cabinet secretaries because sometimes, you know, you see him once maybe it's just a bad day you can just say, like, you know, maybe I just had one bad meeting. You're not really sure..." Said Alex Thompson, co-author of "Original Sin," on "Fox News Sunday" yesterday." "It's like fighting fire with fire — fighting the destruction of the democracy with the destruction of democracy. You had to destroy the village to save it. Noted."

Matt Margolis asserts The Democrats Are Doomed, and They Have No Idea. Amanda Head at JTN, Despite decades of Democrat health initiatives, Americans are sicker than ever "Over the last 15 years, Democrats have reared multiple failed health initiatives that could be reversed or altered under the Trump administration’s health leadership, leading to better overall health and a reduction in chronic diseases." Democrat initiatives are designed to hand money over to friends. Actual results are optional. WaPoo whines Millions of Americans hit with bad credit after missed student loan payments. "The credit score drop is akin to filing for bankruptcy, and some borrowers are finding out when they try to get car loans or rent apartments."
From the Center Square IL, SCOTUS asked to decide challenge to IL’s post election ballot counts. I'd be surprised if they take it. They'll bend heaven and earth to get a El Salvadoran criminal back to Maryland, but actually make sure a US election was run fairly? Fuget about it! Josh Blackmun at The Volokh Conspiracy, Circuit Justice Kagan Never Bothered Calling For A Reply In Trump v. AFGE. "I think I figured out what happened here. Justice Kagan realized that the District Court would almost certainly replace the unappealable TRO with an appealable PI. So she didn't lift a finger. She would rather wait for the normal appellate process to play out in the Ninth Circuit. Apparently, Justice Kagan did not think much of the government's urgent desire for a ruling." Insty at his NYPo gig, Courts are infected with ‘injunctivitis’ — and tempting Trump’s defiance. 'Roberts has made his ruling, now let him enforce it.' Charlotte Hazard at JTN, Famed law professor Alan Dershowitz offers Trump path for resuming mass deportations after setbacks "The Supreme Court last week blocked President Donald Trump from invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal migrants in Texas.

At Twitchy, Seattle Police Officers Guild Lays Down the Law on Antifa, Seattle Police Officers Guild @SPOG1952 "PRESS RELEASE Public Safety in the City of Seattle continues to be politicized and violent ANTIFA criminals once again dominate Seattle’s public safety conversation with their insane use of political violence. This is Seattle’s public safety political reality. Over seven hundred police officers have fled this city in the past decade. This is due to the public safety political decisions by our elected leaders, activist pressure, and for their lack of action against ANTIFA criminals who continue to dictate public safety political terms. The remaining police officers in this city are tired. Our community is tired. This is Seattle’s public safety political reality. . . "
EJ @Ejmiller25,
Ultimately, almost all the gnashing of teeth can be boiled down to Trump 2.0 being the first GOP admin in 40 years to actually ensure the electorate is represented throughout executive branch. Everything else is noise." Quote recusant#@neorecusant, "Rubio testified at a Senate hearing about how he intended to get back control of foreign policy for the State Department from the National Security Council and now he's taken a big step firing 100 from NSC which had grown enormously in number and influence under Bush Jr and Obama x.com/sentdefender/s…"

JD Vance@JDVance "
There is an extraordinary "reproducibility crisis" in the sciences, particularly in biology, where most published papers fail to replicate. Most universities have massive bureaucracies that inhibit the translation of basic research into commercial adoption. The voting patterns of university professors are so one-sided that they look like the election results of North Korea. And on top of all of this, many universities explicitly engage in racial discrimination (mostly against whites and asians) that violates the civil rights laws of this country. Our universities could see the policies of the Trump administration as a necessary corrective to these problems, change their policies, and work with the administration to reform. Or, they could yell "fascism" at basic democratic accountability and drift further into irrelevance."
