Flotsam and Jetsam - China Offers to Take "Nuclear Dust"

Not a lot of new survived the Memorial Day weekend, thankfully. Hat Hair's Capt. Ed reports from China: We'd Be Happy to Facilitate Transfer of Iran's Uranium, Thanks For Asking. It could work, they have enough of their own, but can we trust them? Sundance reports  on President Trump Updates on Current Status of Negotiations With Iran and Desire to Bring all Nations into the Abraham Accords. Good luck with that. At Althouse, "It will be a Document respected like no other that has ever been signed, anywhere in the World. Its level of Importance and Prestige will be unparalleled!" "Writes Trump, just now on Truth Social. He's "mandatorily requesting."" AG @AGHamilton29, "I hope people understand what’s happening because it’s been the same story over and over again. The Islamic Republic and their allies leak their preferred details as if they are agreed to western sources. Then when U.S. refuses to agree to those absurd terms and insists we stick to the deal that had already been under discussion, they claim the U.S. is backing out of the deal. Then they blame America or Israeli influence for the lack of a deal instead of The Islamic Republic making unreasonable demands for a settlement after they lost the military fight and are facing an economic crisis. We saw the same thing with Gaza repeatedly." Quote Iran International English @IranIntl_En, "US President Donald Trump is backing away from the deal with Iran, likely under extreme internal pressure, an Al Jazeera reporter said on X citing two sources." Breitbart reports U.S. Launches Fresh Strikes on Iran Hitting Missile Sites, Minelaying Vessels, just a reminder.

Sundance has a reminder President Trump Reminds Texas to Vote for Ken Paxton in Tomorrow Senate Republican Primary. He's not shy about expressing his druthers.  At Victory Girls, John Cornyn V. Ken Paxton – Today Is The Runoff. The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub, "For the record I liked Massie for years. Tucker and others too. But my common sense forces me to be wary of those attempting to sabotage the mandate Trump was given in ‘24. Jumping ship at the very moment real change was possible stinks. Sorry, it just does."

At Althouse, "On Saturday night, May 23rd, a shooter once again sought to murder the President, his family, and his staff at the historic White House complex." ""We submit this urgent filing to update the Court on a second attempted assassination on the President within a single month. Last night, shortly after 6:00 p.m., an armed assassin approached a White House security checkpoint near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, professionally pulled a high caliber gun from a bag, and opened fire in the exact direction of the White House. Brave Secret Service officers returned fire. The gunman was killed...."  From the Notice of Supplemental Authority in Support of the Government’s Motion for an Indicative Ruling Dissolving the Court’s Injunction, filed yesterday in National Trust for Historic Preservation v. National Park Service, the case about the White House ballroom, posted by Trump at Truth Social this morning."

Nick Ballasy at JTN reports Alberta will vote in the fall on whether to start legal process for separating from Canada. "The proposed question would ask: “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”" Ward Clark at RedState, Oil-Rich Alberta Now Preparing Vote on Leaving Canada.

Stacy McCain says of the Congo: ‘The Horror! The Horror!’ "Joseph Conrad famously used the Belgian Congo as the scene for Heart of Darkness, with the madman Kurtz dying of fever, his final words being: “The horror! The horror!” The situation has not much improved lately, as the State Department warns: “Do not travel to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) due to crime, civil unrest, and health. Some areas have increased risk due to armed conflict.” And then there’s the deadly ebola outbreak:"

Ian Miller @ianmSC, "They are absolutely furious that Spencer Pratt is demonstrating to millions of people the complete failure of progressive politics" Quote Stephen Rodrick @stephenrodrick, "I wrote this one...@RollingStone "Spencer Pratt is a quintessential American. His entire life has been fueled by an unfathomable level of self-confidence, despite a data set that suggests he may not be good at anything." But it's hard to argue he could be worse that Bass.

M.A. Rothman @MichaelARothman, "𝐎’𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐒𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐑 𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐀 𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒 — 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐃𝐒 𝟗𝟎 𝐏𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐒 Kevin O'Leary isn't taking the organized blitz against American energy and data-center projects lying down. After what he calls coordinated false attacks on his Utah data-center project, O'Leary says he brought in a data-science team to trace where the opposition content was coming from. His claim: it leads back to organized networks, activist groups, and funding trails — documented, he says, in IRS 990 filings and global IP data. He says he handed 𝟗𝟎 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 to federal law enforcement and raised it with the White House. “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

But the backdrop isn't in dispute: there's a real, well-organized national campaign against data centers and energy buildout — by one tally, more than $𝟔𝟎 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 in projects stalled by coordinated opposition across dozens of states. The question he's forcing into the open is the right one: who's funding the outrage, and why? 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 — 𝐎’𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐬’ 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧."

TownHall's Matt Vespa thinks he knows What Tulsi Gabbard Will Disclose Before She Leaves Her Post. I hope so. Sarah Anderson at PJM, sees Tulsi Gabbard and Others Go Above and Beyond for a Gold Star Widow SharrellAnne@SharrellAnne2, "This is probably a long shot, but if anybody happens to be in DC this weekend and plans on visiting Arlington, I would love to see a fresh photo of my husband’s grave in Section 60. SSG Alan W. Shaw Section 60, Grave 8451 B Co 1/12 Cav, 1st Cavalry Division November 10, 1975 ..." Tulsi Gabbard @TulsiGabbard, "It was an honor to visit your husband’s grave today on your behalf, and to pay my respects. It was wonderful to see the beautiful flowers representing many others who did the same. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to the loved ones they left behind. Thank you for your service and sacrifice."

At Althouse, "The Trump administration’s $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund could be a boon for GOP senators targeted by a Biden-era investigation..." "... but some say they still do not want the taxpayer payout. Settlements for those the Justice Department deems were victims of 'lawfare and weaponization' under past administrations is the latest attempt to provide financial compensation to Republican senators whose phone records were tapped in the 'Arctic Frost' investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election...." The Washington Examiner reports."

Ryan King at NYPo reports Hasan Piker looks shaken on stream as feds probe Cuba trip — and Jasmine Crockett won’t stop gloating.

Participants in the trip have denied that rumor."

Boys like him became men who made the modern world.

WomenAreReal @WomenAreReals, "Summary: For over two years, a man lingered naked in the women’s locker room at the Stonestown YMCA for hours at a time, up to six days a week, in front of women and young children. When women asked him to cover up, he became belligerent. Women tried everything: multiple meetings with management, a petition signed by more than 100 gym members, protests, and police reports. ... The YMCA responded by policing women." Quote Daily Mail @DailyMail, "YMCA in liberal city finally cracks down with new rules after trans woman exposed pre-op privates in female locker room https://trib.al/XIVNFti."
