I don't really know how to organize this one, it really seems disjointed. Starting with the economy, Ben Shapiro at Da Wire wants to know What The Hell Is Going On With The Economy? "We don't know which way it's going, which is why people are freaking out." It's following Fritz's Uncertainty Principle. When financial people think they know what the the economy is doing, it changes their investing behavior. When they change their investing behavior, it changes the economy in unexpected ways. A never ending chain of people chasing the unicorn of the ideal strategy. At ZeroHedge Tyler is pretty jazzed Native-Born Workers Rise By 2 Million Under Trump To A New Record High, As Foreign-Born Plunge By 1.6 Million. We need to keep that front and center in the news, and the legacy media isn't going to help. alexandriabrown @alexthechick, "Speaking of people telling the truth: This is an actual, truthful, adult answer to the issue of cost of living. It is also brutal and still does not answer so how do we fix it right now. (That answer is we can't and no politician is going to say that out loud)" Quote Maneuver Dominance @Octaflugeron, Replying to @alexthechick, "Prices aren’t going to go back down. The Biden inflation represents a permanent reduction in the value of a US dollar. Your purchasing power has been stolen. They ate it. You don’t get it back." While prices on commodities can go up and down, a deflationary economy is a bad thing. The only way forward to to get wages growing faster than inflation, which Trump has done. At Hat Hair Salena Zito sings the praises of Bisignano, Meeting the Urgency of Now in Running the Social Security Administration.
From Althouse, "Mind you, I am not at all against a negotiated solution. Indeed, from the beginning of this war I have made the point..." ""... that it will end only with a 'dirty deal.' But it cannot be a filthy deal, and the Trump plan is what history will call a filthy deal.... As my Times colleague David Sanger observed in his analysis of the plan’s content: 'Many of the 28 points in the proposed Russia-Ukraine peace plan offered by the White House read like they had been drafted in the Kremlin. They reflect almost all Mr. Putin’s maximalist demands.'... What would an acceptable dirty deal look like? It would freeze the forces in place, but never formally cede any seized Ukrainian territory. It would insist that European security forces, backed by U.S. logistics, be stationed along the cease-fire line as a symbolic tripwire against any Russian re-invasion. It would require Russia to pay a significant amount of money to cover all the carnage it has inflicted on Ukraine...." Writes Thomas Friedman, in "Trump’s Neville Chamberlain Prize" (NYT). Late last night, this went up at the NY Post: "Marco Rubio told US senators that Ukraine peace plan was not America’s — but a ‘leaked’ Russian ‘wish list.'"" So it was a Russian plan, leaked in such a way as to appear to be Trump's. The question is, by whom? Russians trying to discredit Trump, or US media/politician trying to discredit Trump? Or the first, then second? From the Free Bacon, Trump Admin Revokes Visa From South African Official Who Spearheaded 'Genocide' Case Against Israel.Matt Vespa at TownHall thinks This Report About What the Bush Family Plans to Do After Trump Leaves Office Cannot Be Real. "The Daily Mail is reporting that the Bush family is plotting to retake the GOP from Trumpism once the 47th president of the United States has left office (via Breitbart.)" And go back to the dwindling party it was? Speaking of Bushies, Mediaite has Karl Rove Declaring Trump Has Finally Begun to ‘Correct His Course’ — and Reveals What GOP Must Do Next "He went on to argue that Republicans must offer an alternative health care policy centered around “empowering consumers,” and that “Congressional Republicans should head up the effort.”" Matt Margolis at PJM sees Hakeem Jeffries Flip Out on CNBC After Anchor Calls Him Out on Obamacare.

From Twitchy, Byron York Has Some Choice Quotes From Kamala Harris' 'Traveling Therapy Session' (TRY Not to Laugh). Byron York @ByronYork, "The Kamala Harris traveling therapy session. Harris: 'I was so inarticulate, I couldn’t say anything except ‘my God, my God, my God, my God,’ when I learned the results.' Moderator: 'I just wanted you to win so f**kin' bad.' Crowd: 'Ka-ma-la! Ka-ma-la!'"
Erick Florack at PJM thinks he knows Why Democrats Are Suddenly Trying to Get the Military to Defy Trump? "Clearly this new plan was required to sway the public. It plays directly into this nonsense that Trump is a king, a tyrant, or whatever. Let's also recall that, as I've said so often, the only government program the Democrats don't like is the military. And guess what? The military knows this very well, so it's logical to assume that the effect this will cause in the minds of the brave folks in uniform will be minimal. The Democrats know this. The actual target here is not the military, but rather, the voting public." At Twitchy, REALLY? Sen. Elissa Slotkin Wants to Know 'What's Going on With Trump's Military Purge?' Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin, "What’s going on with Trump’s military purge?" Uri Blago @UriBlago_v2, "Obama’s Military Purge: 1. Gen. David D. McKiernan (4-star, Army) – 2009 2. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal (4-star, Army) – 2010 3. Gen. James N. Mattis (4-star, Marine Corps) – 2013 4. Gen. Carter F. Ham (4-star, Army) – 2013 5. Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn (3-star, Army) – 2014 6. Vice Adm. Tim Giardina (3-star, Navy) – 2013 7. Maj. Gen. Michael T. Carey (2-star, Air Force) – 2013 8. Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette (2-star, Navy) – 2012 9. Maj. Gen. Ralph O. Baker (2-star, Army) – 2013 10. Brig. Gen. Bryan W. Wampler (1-star, Air Force) – 2013 11. Brig. Gen. Susan Y. Desjardins (1-star, Air Force) – 2013." Call it a purge, I don't care. I voted for it. Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "Copperheads. 1860. It's where we are at. It's always the Democrats. ALWAYS." Quote InfantryDort @infantrydort "A sitting U.S. Senator: “….pick a fucking side.” Children. Mere children. Playing with fire while the rest of us are doused in in gasoline. Previous generations got: “United we stand, divided we fall.” We get: “Pick a fucking side.” Matt Margolis says Democrats Have Revived the Russiagate Playbook. Revived? No, they never let it lay.
RedState's Nick Arama reminds us SCOTUS Weighs in With Good News on Texas Redistricting Case, Texas can redistrict. Tom Knighton at Bearing Arms not thrilled at how a Federal Court Overturns Idaho Judge's Second Amendment Ruling. "It seems that a judge in Idaho agrees with me that it's unconstitutional to strip someone of their rights based mostly on allegations. Unfortunately for that judge and me, a federal judge disagreed with us." Less due process rights than Albrego Garcia.
Shipwreckedcrew laughs at Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick -- "Racism Is Behind The Investigation Of How $5 Million in FEMA Money Found Its Way Into My 2022 Campaign." "She lost twice to Alcee Hastings -- a federal judge impeached for taking bribes -- before he died, AND then a FEMA mistake put $5 million in her pocket which she used to comm campaign finance fraud."
TCW, Smear Trump at all costs – our dossier on the brazen BBC, Part 7. Ward Clark at RedState Ric Grenell Warns NYT to Expect Lawsuit If It Does Not Correct Sen. Whitehouse's False Story. Richard Grenell @RichardGrenell, "@SenWhitehouse just stepped in it. He attacked the Kennedy Center with outrageous claims. So we responded with the facts. Oh boy - the facts are so clear: the NYT and the Senator’s letter writer are going to be embarrassed. We have a balanced budget, we’ve raised a whopping $117 MILLION under @realDonaldTrump - and FIFA has paid millions plus covered all expenses (the NYT made a gigantic mistake by assuming FIFA was a rental not a major Sponsor)."
Stacy McCain looks at A Death in Oakland: ‘Defund the Police’ Movement Gets Beloved Coach Killed.
Campus Reform, State Department proposes cutting off 38 universities over DEI hiring practices. "The Trump administration is preparing a sweeping overhaul of a major State Department research initiative, proposing to cut off universities that use DEI hiring practices and replace them with institutions that use merit-based standards."
Althouse taken in by the WaPoo "In a stunning and hasty reversal, the U.S. Coast Guard announced late Thursday that swastikas and nooses are prohibited hate symbols..." "... erasing an attempt to soften their definition after the plan elicited furious backlash. The abrupt policy change occurred hours after The Washington Post first reported that the service was about to enact new harassment guidelines that downgraded the meaning of such symbols of fascism and racism, labeling them instead 'potentially divisive.'" From "In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols/The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as 'potentially divisive' under guidelines set for release next month" (WaPo). Interesting. I note that Trump was asked about the policy at his press conference — the one with Mamdani — yesterday, and Trump said he didn't know about it:" Of course, the Coast Guard denied ever having taken them off the verboten list, which WaPoo didn't bother to report. Does that include SS Totenkopf (Death's Head) favored by one Democrat candidate? I don't really care about what tattoos they have on. I care about this:
I had a coworker, who served in the Navy, I asked him what he thought about the Coast Guard.
