At Hat Hair, Steve Moore calls Dow 50,000: A Supply-Side Miracle. Roger Kimball at The Spec notes Trumponomics is working. Daniel Baldwin @baldwin_daniel_, "On days like today, I like calling back to this headline from June 2024: "Trump would make America’s inflation crisis worse, 16 Nobel economists warn" CPI is at 2.4% YoY in January as gasoline declined 7.5%. The "Nobel economists" were dead wrong." Funny that a working businessman understands the economy better than a bunch of college professors. The I&I ed board thinks the Latest Jobs Report Explains Why Dems Hate Trump So Much. "In January, the economy added 172,000 private sector jobs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which was better than economists had expected (which seems to be a running theme in the Trump administration). And the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.3%. So, what’s the bad news for Democrats? The number of federal government jobs shrank by 32,000. Worse still, this is on top of a string of monthly government job losses since President Donald Trump took office."
Reuters whines US military preparing for potentially weeks-long Iran operations. Sundance hosts Secretary of State Marco Rubio's Critically Important Speech to Munich Security Conference. Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "I don't think they realize that "blowing up the world order as we knew it" is precisely why we elected Trump." Quote Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins, "BREAKING: Mark Kelly just slammed Donald Trump for blowing up the world order as we knew it. This is fire."
So "the government" is shut down again. Or rather, a rather small part of it, as Democrats will not agree to continues funding of DHS. Unfortunately, for Democrats, ICE will not be affected because it's funding was already included in the BBB. But it will affect the FEMA and TSA (another agency I'd like to see curtailed quite a bit, let the airlines bear the cost of screening. I'll bet they do it better.) A Hat Hair video, Democrats Shutdown The Government For Political Sideshow.
At Am Think J Bob Smith thinks about The Blue States’ Doom Loop "Annually and increasingly, tens of thousands of people are leaving blue states because of politics." Hat Hair's John Stossel looks at Fraud Nation. "Americans want to help people in need, but when government does that, about 500 billion taxpayer dollars get stolen. It's how the system is designed, says the United Council on Welfare Fraud's Andrew McClenahan in this new video. "You're measuring success by the amount of money you put out."" Stacey Matthews at LI, Alleged NYC Antisemitic Stabbing Suspect Out on Bail as Incidents Rise 182% Under Mamdani. “The most disturbing thing about this: It’s no longer a shock to read such a headline.” At least they got bail! At Shooting News Week, Virginia is What Happens When Gun Owners Lose Elections. Auron MacIntyre @AuronMacintyre, "Gentle reminder that after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, and the attempted assassination of ICE agents it was revealed that the Dem AG candidate in Virginia wanted to kill Republicans and their children The Dems continued to support him and he won the election No price was every paid and the news cycle just moved on, so the lesson is that political violence has zero cost. I 'm sure there won't be any consequences in the future for failing to punish the left." Althouse finds deep thinking, "... Clavicular said he would vote for Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, a Democrat, over Vice President JD Vance because he preferred Mr. Newsom’s looks to Mr. Vance’s. " ""'It wasn’t, like, a political statement at all,' Clavicular said later of his criticism of Mr. Vance. 'I was just saying he’s fat.'"
MD Kettle at Da Fed sees Unsealed Court Docs Show The FBI Probing Possible Election Crimes In Fulton County. Democrats: "Don't do that! We stole that election fair and square." Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew, "The Bondi-led DOJ has obtained a wildly successful string of huge victories in the courts at the appellate and Supreme Court levels that have advanced the Trump Administration agenda across a broad range of issues that will be consequential for decades to come. If the Epstein hysteria was to evaporate tomorrow never to be heard about again, by far the biggest losses will be the revenue now being realized by all the online influencers who are relying on it for income." Quote reason @reason ""They've been utterly incompetent. Incompetent to the point that it almost seems like you'd have to be doing this on purpose to be this incompetent," says Massie on the DOJ's Epstein files release." Ryan Lovelace at Racket reports EXCLUSIVE: FBI Gathered Intel On 1,000 Journalists, Politicians, Religious Organizations On Flimsy Grounds 'The FBI can gather a dossier on anyone they choose.' I mean, who among us doesn't have a secret FBI dossier? It's a mark of importance!
John Sexton at Hat Hair reports Federal Agents Suspended Amid Claims They Lied to Investigators,. regarding the non-fatal shooting of a illegal alien sought by ICE in Minneapolis. “Video evidence has revealed that sworn testimony provided by two separate officers appears to have made untruthful statements,” Mr. Lyons said. “Both officers have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the completion of a thorough internal investigation.” Not good.
From NYPo, Hillary Clinton says migration ‘went too far’ and ‘needs to be fixed in a humane way’ DC_Draino @DC_Draino, "Obama said Democrats need to start cleaning up homeless tent cities. Hillary is now saying mass migration needs to end and we need secure borders. The memo has gone out. Democrats are trying to moderate for the midterms." Quote America @america "Hillary Clinton admits mass migration has been “destabilizing” to society: “It went too far, it’s been disruptive and destabilizing.”"
TownHall's Kurt Schlichter insists It Is Right and Proper to Laugh at the Suffering of Journalists. Althouse Trump sought to influence Bill Maher and he's now going to complain that he didn't get as much favorable press/comedy as he thinks — or pretends to think — he deserves. ""Sometimes in life you waste time! T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed," said Trump (at Truth Social). . . . Trump seems to enjoy diminishing Maher, but I suspect Maher adopted this "little me" pose to disarm Trump. Obviously, Maher was bullshitting. There's no one who has never been scared. It's a joke. He's a comedian. And so is Trump."
From Campus Reform, White student sues after Albany Law School protects professor who allegedly went on racist rant. "Rowland Rupp, a student at Albany Law School, has filed a lawsuit after he says Anthony Farley, a black professor, shut off the classroom’s recording equipment and went on a tirade in class aimed at whites and conservatives. The lawsuit alleges that the school did not investigate Rupp’s complaint, but rather aggressively pursued a retaliatory complaint filed by the professor."
