A whole lot of little bits all mixed together. Beege Wellborn at Hat Hair thinks this is Awkward: DC Circuit Tells Trump Not to Knock Down East Wing of the White House. Have they looked recently? Ethan Savka @eesavka, "This case shouldn't even be in court. The so-called injury that gives the plaintiff standing is laughable. They get to go to court because the White House isn't pretty anymore? Give me a break. This is a manufactured case that is surviving off of judicial activism alone." Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew, "It would not shock me at all to see SCOTUS enter a summary order granting relief to the Administration in the ridiculous ballroom case, and remand the matter to the D.C. Circuit for further consideration, citing favorably Judge Rao's dissent, Sec. II(A) -- a lack of standing by the plaintiff -- and be done with it." At Althouse, "The White House is the People’s House, and under the Constitution’s Property Clause, Congress exercises plenary control over the building and its surrounding land." "I'm reading National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States v. National Park Service, the new decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. ... Trump's reaction, at Truth Social: "Two Judges, one appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, the other by Sleepy Joe Biden, said in a ruling on the desperately needed SECURE Ballroom/Military Complex, including a major DronePort on the roof, that 'Each President is a temporary tenant…of the White House.' We are not tenants, who pay rent and do all other things that a tenant must do, we are PRESIDENTS, elected by the people of the United States of America, and have many rights, including the right to fix, renovate, secure, protect, and beautify the White House grounds, which has been built and rebuilt, renovated and rerenovated, repaired and, simply, MADE BETTER, many times since 1792, and never needing the permission of Congress, or anyone else, to do so. This decision, made after much of the work has been done and paid for, is a National Security Threat at the highest level. It is also a National Disgrace. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP""
Also at Althouse, "This whole thing has been really surreal and absurd... it’s a relief, but there’s a detachment to that relief of extreme concern for other people and for our country." "Said David Hearn, "the Olympian," quoted in "Judge Dismisses Former Olympian’s Felony Charge in Reflecting Pool Case/The move ends the criminal case for David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist, after prosecutors acknowledged that the Trump administration’s claims of vandalism were false" (NYT gift link)." My comment: "So let me get this straight. One day, Trump and his posse, Judge Jeanine, Dougie Bergman and Kash Patel were personally patrolling the Capitol grounds looking for thought crimes, and they happened upon Dave Hearn, who they identified as anti-MAGA from his bicycle shorts, and decided to hang the frame on him. Don't be stupid. Some Park employee, who, like everyone else in DC is probably a liberal, saw Hearn doing something that he/she/it thought was vandalizing the reflecting pool. I believe he has already admitted to trying to grab a piece of the loose lining as a souvenir. They got into it, and Hearn fought back, and was arrested and charged with vandalism."

From Stars and Stripes, Ukraine delivers first batch of drones to United States. CDR Salamander thinks It's OK to say Japan is rearming. It is, "Let's normalize plain speaking."
Interesting Engineering reports the US hits jackpot after finding multi-million-ton critical mineral reserve in Nevada, "The deposit holds 1.78 million tons of inferred tungsten." More material for the "Rod from God!"
Hat Hair's Dave Strom says sarcastically That Abdul Guy Has Turned Out to Be a Great Candidate Choice, Guys. That remains to be seen. Marina Medvin @MarinaMedvin, "I’m becoming increasingly concerned about radicalization in Dearborn." Quote Visegrád 24 @visegrad24, "Mosque imams in Dearborn, Michigan: “Oh Allah, kill every Jew, Christian, and American.” Dearborn, home to the largest Arab-American community in the United States, was one of the strongest bases of support for Abdul El-Sayed, the newly elected Democratic nominee for Michigan's U.S. Senate seat, who won the city's vote by a wide margin." Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow, "How about this one? Is the Democrat Party ok with this?" Quote TECTONE@Tectone, "OLD HASAN CLIP HAS RESURFACED: “We want more immigrants to come into your countries and then they’re gonna fuck your sisters and then your daughters.” At Twitchy, Former DNC Vice Chair David Hogg Says There's No Room for Moderates in Democrat Party's 'Big Tent' and Democracy Dimwit: DSA Co-Chair Cannot Explain What ‘Taxing the Hell Out of Millionaires’ Means.

"Film industry did far more than just ignore nation's 250th birthday." NYPo, Democratic strategist James Carville says he could become a Republican under one major condition. Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN, "South America is moving away from socialism, after having tried it. North America is moving toward socialism, having never tried it. We shouldn’t have to learn this lesson the hard way."
