Jim Hanson @JimHansonDC, "Who owns Stars & Stripes? Hint: It's run by a guy named @PeteHegseth Key elements of the current charter (DoWI 5122.11) "prioritizing content not readily available via commercial media." i.e. don't be the MSM "It does not take its own editorial positions." i.e. just the news not the liberal viewpoint. You lot failed those miserably and were properly let go when you refused to change your ways. You will not be missed." Quote Lara Korte @lara_korte, "Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes – not the Pentagon, not any administration, and not any policy maker." Buzz Patterson @BuzzPatterson, "The problem is, George, that nobody in uniform trusts them. We’ve learned the hard way. And, you’ve never read that rag either. You never served. Crawl back into your hole, creep." Quote George Conway @gtconway3d, "Outrageous and sad. Decades have been devoted to building up the credibility of this publication to earn the trust of everyone in uniform—credibility and trust now being summarily destroyed by narcissistic and. ignorant hacks like Hegseth."
At NYPo, Trump’s bill prompts steep SNAP enrollment decline — including over 50% in
one state. At Althouse, "Ancient societies had another method to deal with debt. It was called an
amargi — a blanket declaration of public debt cancellation." ""All public debts written off. Disappeared. It sounds laughable, I
know. But, really, that’s just because the idea has been buried so deeply in
history you’ve probably never heard of it. In the ancient world, it presented
a pragmatic solution to an intractable problem. And now, faced with
impossible-to-repay debts that are weighing down our economy, is the time to
look at the amargi and the lessons it offers about how to think about
finance...." From
"$40 Trillion Debt? The Ancient Sumerians Wouldn’t Have Cared"
(NYT gift link)." The ancient Israelites had the
Jubilee,
on the 50th year, The fields were left unplanted and unharvested,
allowing the land to rest completely. Ancestral lands that families had
to sell due to hard times were returned to their original owners, stopping
permanent generational poverty. Israelites who had sold themselves into
servitude to pay off debts were freed and allowed to return to their families.
Forgiveness of Debts: Financial obligations were lifted to restore economic
equality within the community." I understand it was mostly honored in the
breach. Shake it shake it Sugaree, I'll meet you at the Jubilee, and if
that Jubilee don't come, maybe I'll meet you on the run. In a few years, that
may become the only choice.

Driscoll at Insty harks back to MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING DURING THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE: Krzysztof Szczawinski @Kristof_Poland, "The conventional explanation for Rome’s demographic collapse is wealth.
People got comfortable. They stopped having children. It happens to every
prosperous civilization. Nothing to be done. This is wrong. Or rather, it is
incomplete in the way that matters most. Rome didn’t stop having children
because it got wealthy. It stopped having children because it built a
welfare state – and the welfare state did what welfare states always do: it
replaced the incentives that make people build families with incentives that
make people consume instead. The grain dole began modestly. Around 40,000 recipients in 73 BC. By
Caesar’s time: 320,000. That eightfold expansion in under three decades was
not a plan – it was a political mechanism. Each magistrate who wanted votes
expanded eligibility. Each expansion normalized the next. The citizen who once
considered the dole shameful eventually expected it, then demanded it, then
organized politically to protect it...." Larry Elder at Hat Hair

Jamie Raskin’s Trump Obsession Trumps Antisemitism, "They want to acknowledge the sudden rise in antisemitism but they can’t
bear to acknowledge that Donald Trump was doing something about it." ZitoSalena @ZitoSalena, "@AndyBeshearKY
picked an odd fight to take up with Vance. First for a man of privilege to
question the geographic credentials of a man who grew up in Middletown,
Ohio, and Kentucky, with the former right on the edge of the government’s
definition of Appalachia and the latter well within it, is curious at
best. “Then there is the large populations of people who identify with Appalachia
because their families live just a smidge outside the region due to migration
for jobs. J.D. Vance is one of those,” @TomMaraffa. For Beshear to try to strip away Vance’s identity for political kudos makes
little sense. To have someone mention Appalachia as a point of pride should be
something to celebrate, not admonish. Especially if you grew up with your
father having a seat at a state government’s table of
power." Quote Beshear Operative @Beshearop, "Andy Beshear throws
shade at JD Vance via the WSJ: “He’s not from Appalachia. He is from the
suburbs of Cincinnati.”"

Driscoll at Insty says
EMBRACE THE HEALING QUALITY OF “AND ALL OF THE ABOVE:” Margot Cleveland @ProfMJCleveland, "This morning a question popped into my head for the first time: WHY did
Comey do the 86 47 seashell picture? What WAS his REAL motivation? Because
he (and his wife) spent a lot of effort to do it, so there had to be a
reason. 1/" Margot Cleveland @ProfMJCleveland, "2/ What are the possible motivations? To get accolades from the Left? To
publicly display his hatred of Trump? To get Trump killed? Thing is, even if
not the latter, the ONLY way the first to motives are achieved is if you give
86 natural meaning of "to off."" At the Lyceum,
Real Russiagate Has Never Been Tried. "According to Schmidt, there is nothing wrong with the Russia collusion
narrative at all—it just hasn’t been proven yet." Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke, "It was always highly conspicuous that the entire anti-Trump hoax industry
began with something as unconventional as claiming he was a Russian
agent.
It was almost as if Democrats had concluded that the tried and tested sex
scandal route was useless against Trump. To be fair, they did throw Stormy
Daniels into the mix, but that had more to do with squeezing Michael Cohen
than anything else. Then came Ukraine, which was essentially an extension of
the Russia operation. Then came the classified documents saga, which grew
directly out of the same Russia Russia universe. They eventually tried the
bizarre New York civil case with the freakish woman, but even that failed to
move the needle. So after more than a decade of Russia, Ukraine, impeachments,
prosecutions, classified documents, civil cases, and just about every
conceivable line of attack, watching them circle all the way back to an affair
scandal feels almost comically desperate." Quote Aaron Rupar

At Althouse, "The fact that [Jason Arday] was promoted as some kind of prodigy given how crazy his self-representation was is a sign of just how cultic and confused the left and left-leaning institutions have become." ""I mean, it's just it's just a sign of the the cancer having spread everywhere.... I mean, it's just, this is all, anti-racism.... This is putting the black — the BLM black — square not only in your bio but in your brain. Um, it's a cult...Said Sam Harris." Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil, "Woke never ended. The New England Journal of Medicine just published an insane thinkpiece that starts with a neurotic hallucination and then alleges Jason Arday did no wrong and that he was killed.
