At Hat Hair, Steve Moore is making The Case Against Jerome Powell "Powell should admit he's in over his head and exit stage left now before he does more harm. But he lives in a media-created delusion that he's the last like of defense against Trump. The good news is, at least he will be gone in seven months. Hopefully the next Fed chairman will learn from his series of blunders." Eric Salzman at Racket is Following Up on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s Mortgage Adventure, "Contrary to news reports, recent disclosures produced by Lisa Cook don't aid in her defense." "Does a Federal Reserve Board governor defending herself from accusations of mortgage fraud damage the Fed’s credibility? Most of the media and the “economic luminaries” seem to be cruising right past that question." The Peacock whines Markets won’t care if Trump fires Fed Governor Cook, DOJ tells Supreme Court.

Michigan News, Tylenol Turmoil: What Trump and the Media Said vs. What the FDA is Actually Doing. All it took to make NYT support herbicides was for RFK Jr to oppose them, from Althouse, "The MAHA movement’s war on glyphosate is part of a broader war on modern farming... It reflects a fantasy of agricultural purity..." "From "Spraying Roundup on Crops Is Fine. Really" (NYT). "There's an interesting political reshuffling going on here. I think there are a lot of people who are devoted to the improvement of American food who are going to feel slighted by the accusation that they're caught in a "fantasy of agricultural purity" and too dumb to understand the old saw "The dose makes the poison." Don't focus on what may have happened to some rats. Let the scientists balance the good and the bad and tell you the conclusion: Roundup is fine. Now, shut up and resume microdosing. This is another way Democrats can drive its natural constituents into the arms of Republicans. They could have had Kennedy on their side. They didn't want him."
Salena Zito, Our counterculture revolution is here and it is a revival. Althouse, "The critics of Christian nationalism sometimes argue that it is a political movement using the language and symbols of religion in order to win elections." ""But the events of the past week have proved that this is a genuinely religious movement and Charlie Kirk was a genuinely religious man. The problem is that unrestrained faith and unrestrained partisanship are an incredibly combustible mixture. I am one of those who fear that the powerful emotions kicked up by the martyrdom of Kirk will lead many Republicans to conclude that their opponents are irredeemably evil and that anything that causes them suffering is permissible. It’s possible for faithful people to wander a long way from the cross." Writes David Brooks, in "We Need to Think Straight About God and Politics" (NYT)." "Brooks speaks of the danger that "many Republicans" will use Kirk to establish that "their opponents are irredeemably evil and that anything that causes them suffering is permissible." I suppose anything is possible, but I would think that Christians are the last to call other people "irredeemable." And it seems to be the left who have been falling prey to the ideation that their opponents are "irredeemably evil." Maybe what you fear in others is the very thing you yourself tend to do." Amanda Head at JTN claims Victim-blaming, rationalizing violence becomes pattern on the left during Trump era "Rhetoric and polling in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination reveals a dangerous micro-culture on the left that may be infecting Democrats more widely."

Leslie Eastman at LI, reports EPA Orders Employees to “No Longer Engage with the Environmental Law Institute” "The move marks another firm stand against special interests steering American policy from the shadows." Streiff at RedState has hopes Pete Hegseth's Shock Meeting With His Generals Could Be a Gamechanger for How the War Department Works. "As an outsider, my view is that the U.S. military, while formidable on the battlefield, is spiritually broken. It has experienced nearly two decades of Marxist social doctrine imposed upon it. It values talent much less than it values belonging to the correct racial and sexual subgroup. Standards exist only to beat you with if you violate any of the liberal shibboleths." From LifeZette, Trump: ‘I Asked Somalia to Take Ilhan Omar Back, They Said They Don’t Want Her’
Jonathan Turley at NYPo opines James Comey is no pristine model of ethics, and now he’s staring down karma. Bob Hoge at RedState, Report: 'PERSON 1' and 'PERSON 3' in Bombshell Comey Indictment Revealed. "ABC News is reporting that Hillary Clinton is PERSON 1, as RedState’s Rusty Weiss postulated earlier Friday, and that PERSON 3 is Comey friend and one-time personal lawyer, Daniel Richman." MD Kittle at Da Fed laughs at Democrats, Who Weaponized Justice Against Trump, Decry Comey Indictment As Retribution. Keep asking, retribution for what? From LifeZette, James Comey’s Son-in-Law Suddenly Resigns as Federal Prosecutor Following Indictment "Edwards served as deputy chief of the National Security Section in the Eastern District of Virginia, where he oversaw significant espionage and intelligence-related cases tied to the Pentagon and CIA headquarters. His departure was submitted in a brief letter to Acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan. In the letter, Edwards wrote that he was leaving his post “to uphold my oath to the Constitution and the country.”" Althouse, "Donald Trump was maliciously prosecuted repeatedly—from the New York state level by Letitia James to the federal level by Jack Smith—over and over, on the basis of manipulated charges." ""These were stretched charges, charges that were literally read in unique ways for the first time in order to go after him. So should you be surprised that Donald Trump is now doing this to the people he believes targeted him in the first place? He promised this was going to happen. It’s not exactly a shock. It is the reality that these methods were used against him. Now, the thing about Trump that frustrates so many people on the left is that he’s not genteel about doing this sort of stuff. Joe Biden would lie." Said Ben Shapiro on his podcast yesterday." Sundance at CTH hears AG Pam Bondi Promises to Do Better. Adam Carolla @adamcarolla. "Which one out of the fifty one is this guy?" Quote Kyle Becker@ kylenabecker, "So, Trump is going to do to 1000th of what was done to him by his corrupt political enemies? They should have thought about that before they launched hoax investigations, spied on his campaign, rigged multiple elections, impeached him over nonsense, arrested his allies, censored his supporters, sent the FBI to raid his home and ransacked Melania's underwear drawers, launched BLM riots for months over a criminal 'martyr,' conducted lawfare to try to bankrupt him, lied about him being a 'fascist' and a 'Nazi,' ran 95% negative propaganda against him, and provoked multiple assassination attempts including one that shot him in the head...And they want to do all of this with zero repercussions. Payback's a b*tch.x.com."Western Lensman @WesternLensman, "A livid John Brennan laments that Trump will go to great lengths to ruin his opponents, "reputationally, financially, professionally, whatever." Wow, that sounds awfully familiar, John. As does “no one is above the law."" The Peacock whines Trump calls for the firing of Lisa Monaco, Microsoft president of global affairs "President Donald Trump said Microsoft should immediately fire Lisa Monaco, an executive who spent four years as deputy attorney general under former President Joe Biden." “She is a menace to U.S. National Security, especially given the major contracts that Microsoft has with the United States Government,” Trump wrote in the post. “Because of Monaco’s many wrongful acts, the U.S. Government recently stripped her of all Security Clearances, took away all of her access to National Security Intelligence, and banned her from all Federal Properties.”
At OTP, Trump: Wray ‘Has Some Major Explaining To Do’ Over FBI’s J6 ‘Hoax’, citing Ryan King at NYPo, Trump rages at bombshell report alleging FBI had agents in crowd during Capitol riot. "“It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax,” Trump wrote on Truth Social." That makes about 10% of the crowd federal agents if we count FBI alone. From Sundance, President Trump Calls Out FBI for Placing 274 Agents in J6 Crowd – Demands to Know Who They Were?, also, AP Report: FBI Leadership Fired 20 Kneelers from George Floyd Protest Era. Dricscoll at Insty, NAILED IT! The FBI DID Send Hundreds of Undercover Assets Into the J6 Protest! "Yet another victory for the tinfoil hat, “conspiracy theory” crew: the FBI sent 274 “plainclothes” agents into the crowd of people protesting in and near the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to Just the News. And many of those agents are not happy about how it all went down, not to mention the bureau’s liberal bias." Just the News @JustTheNews, "Bombshell FBI memo uncovered by Kash Patel’s team reveals widespread concerns among agents that bureau had become woke, biased against conservatives." The Babylon Bee @TheBabylonBee, "New Report Indicates Only 3 People In Jan 6 Crowd Were Not FBI Agents https://buff.ly/XVHOd7q" "Those individuals were identified as Lectern Guy, Buffalo Hat Guy, and "the black guy from The Babylon Bee videos."" Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews, "BREAKING - A video of a suspected federal agent breaching the Capitol on J6 and blaming an innocent bystander is going viral after the FBI admitted nearly 300 “plainclothes” agents were embedded in the crowd that day." Just to be fair let me include Politico, which claims Trump falsely suggests FBI agents to blame for igniting Jan. 6 violence "In reality, the inspector general of the Justice Department revealed 10 months ago that “hundreds” of FBI agents went to the Capitol to assist at the request of the beleaguered Capitol Police." So, still going with the old story, and ignoring any new memos.
Rich Lowry at NYPo complains The left is waging a sustained domestic-terror campaign against the Trump presidency. John Sexton at Hat Hair catches Michelle Goldberg saying Stop Blaming This Left-Wing Violence on the Left "Violence that at least looks left-wing really does appear to be on the rise. In The Atlantic, Daniel Byman and Riley McCabe wrote that “2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber those from the far right.” Yet the men committing the highest-profile left-coded killings have little discernible connection to progressive politics, on or offline. Neither Mangione nor Tyler Robinson nor Jahn was a registered Democrat or, as far as we know, was involved in activism of any kind. They’re less men of the left than men of the internet."
At ET, Supreme Court Allows Trump Admin to Freeze $4 Billion in Foreign Aid Approved by Congress. "Three justices dissented, saying they disagreed with the majority’s ruling on a law enabling the president to withhold congressionally authorized funds." You can guess who. Misty Severi at JTN reports Trump asks Supreme Court to determine whether he can end birthright citizenship. "The Supreme Court previously narrowed the scope of injunctions against the executive order, finding that lower courts likely lacked the authority to issue sweeping injunctions, but did not rule on the constitutionality of the order." From the WaT, Supreme Court’s nationwide injunction ruling fizzles as judges find new ways to stop Trump. WaEx, Clarence Thomas defends overruling precedents with recent Supreme Court rulings. "“It’s not some sort of automatic deal where you can just say, ‘Stare decisis,’ and then turn off the brain,” Thomas said Thursday evening, per Courthouse News."

From the Free Bacon, Three Rising Democratic Stars To Appear Alongside Hamas Lovers at Anti-Israel Conference in America’s ‘Jihad Capital’. Althouse, "What is Demthink? It’s what you’d end up with if you trained a large language model solely on the inner monologue of people who..." ""... either work in Democratic politics or watch MSNBC for eight hours a day.... The problem with Demthink is not merely that it tends toward cynical triangulation. No, it’s that it tends toward triangulation that isn’t even politically effective because it’s so finely tuned for the in-group that it comes across as uncannily out-of-tune to everyone else."
