Flotsam and Jetsam on a Rainy Sunday Morning

As the remains of Hurricane Isaias blankets us with tropical moisture. 

Power Line's The Week in Pictures:
Electile Dysfunction Edition

Joe Chalfant at TownHall reports a Houthi Missile Strikes Saudi Arabian Airport, Resulting in 'Mass Casualty Incident'. 3 dead, and an Airbus A310-200 destroyed. It's time to get the players together and eliminate the Houthis. At Da Signal, the Great Victor Davis Hanson says the Iranian Regime Has Only One Way Out "they only have one chance, and that is now to call off the United States military and the United States financial architects of this embargo and somehow squeeze or slither out of the noose that they put their head in. Let’s hope that does not happen."

Loay Alshareef لؤي الشريف @lalshareef, "The Flydubai co-pilot was radicalized in Qandahar, Afghanistan. The Flydubai co-pilot was radicalized in Melbourne, Australia by a mosque linked to the Muslim Brotherhood organization. Let that sink in. People of Australia, wake up."

Rob Lee @RALee85, "In Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, we are seeing early drone warfare. I would equate this to where Ukraine and Russia were in 2023. The diffusion of drone technology and tactics will increase, particularly whenever the Russo-Ukraine war ends. I doubt that we are prepared." Quote Ryan O'Leary @RyanO_ChosenCoy, "One thing that is becoming more common is “PMC” type and drone companies hiring foreigners who did drones in Ukraine for work. The main problem with that, is that anyone can learn to fly a drone in 14-21 days. Give them 6 weeks and they’ll be hitting targets. What they don’t learn in-depth typically is the tactics behind drones (especially for the 6 monthers) or get a good grasp on signals/frequency and all the overly nerdy shit involved in that realm...."

Jeremiah Fowler Security Researcher @yoda69, "According to Cloudflare Data Explorer the amount of russian bot traffic has dropped to 49% after Ukraine struck a yandex data center. Could this disrupt the midterm elections in the US?" Disrupt US election by cutting down Russian bots? Please explain that? At Da Caller, ‘It’s Time For Ukraine To Get A New President’: Trump Signals End Of Patience With Zelenskyy As War Stretches On. Sundance at CTH also hears President Trump Says It’s Time for Zelenskyy to Be Replaced. They could hold an election.... Also, Zelenskyy Urgently Attacks Russian Oil/Fuel Export Terminal "The intention of Zelenskyy’s targeting is obvious to anyone who has followed the conflict between Russia-Ukraine and the involvement of EU-NATO countries in keeping maximum conflict at the forefront. They do not want a strategic agreement between Putin and Trump." John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad, "Why are we importing ANY petroleum products? BUILD MORE DIESEL REFINERIES AND SHIPS TO MOVE IT This is a military priority. If Cali and Mass refuse then build DoW refineries on federal land. If Delta Airlines can own and run a refinery then the USAF can too."

Michael Ron Bowling @mrbcyber, "Disturbing news that the former German spy chief arrested for treason had close relationship to a Chinese general. Western intelligence appears to be deeply compromised. This comes shortly after a report that a senior CIA official had stolen millions from the agency. He also shared information with a foreign intelligence agency. Western democracies believed they had won the cold war and let their defenses down. The CCP never believed the war ended and has been compromising officials the whole time." And this is why you spy on allies (among other good reasons).

Althouse goes to the NYT for their coverage of Hassan's upcoming execution, "Legal experts say that Mr. Hasan could challenge the government’s decision to livestream his execution, perhaps by asserting..." "... that a public broadcast would violate prohibitions on cruel and unusual punishment in the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution." Well, you can find a legal expert to say anything you want. Also, "If Hegseth were not a musclebound intellectual void, he would know this." "He would know that the Fort Hood killer told the mental health panel that he wanted to die. Writes London Times columnist Matthew Syed." We should should help him along.

From Commonplace, The Gen Z Blue-Collar Jobs Boom "A new generational opportunity is taking shape in the skilled trades." At Hat Hair Steven Moore asks Why Are Americans So Pessimistic? "But it's weird that the richer and wealthier we get, the more people complain," and Larry Elder answers The Anti-Trump Media and 'Economic Pessimism'. Nick Arama at RedState, Bessent Goes Beast Mode on Elizabeth Warren in Letter That's Pure Gold — Especially the Note at End "Finally, my Offer of a Foreign Exchange for Dummies tutorial still stands, and if you receive a passing grade on the Yale metric, not the Harvard curve, I would be happy to also include a Fixed Income for Dummies. ... "Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day in advance to you and your family."" Da Caller, Secretary Bessent Wishes Heritage-Adopting Senator A ‘Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day’ Amid Flurry Of Snarky Affordability Letters.

Also from Da Caller, Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle Reportedly Boasts Of Elites Bankrolling Her Luxury Travel At Globalist Retreat. "A recording from the January World Economic Forum captured the comments, according to The Wall Street Journal. On it, Kimberly Guilfoyle flaunted her closeness to two Greek tycoons. She was lobbying to get into a dinner for Eric Trump." Isn't that what ambassadors do, fly around and put meetings together? And she's getting someone else to pay for it! But she has shown questionable judgement in the past; she did marry Gavin Newsom. Best occupant of "The Five's" leg chair ever.

At Twitchy, Manlet MI Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed Mocks Dave Portnoy’s Body After Being Called a Terrorist. Campus Reform reports a Conservative student says he was threatened after pressing El-Sayed on Iran "“Since that day, people have threatened me, doxxed my friends, even harassed my family,” Dashti said." Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt, "What’s terrifying about this clip isn’t their ideals…these sweet gals’ hearts are certainly in the right place. What’s terrifying is they have the civic, political, and economic literacy of a 9 year old. When a charlatan like Abdul comes along with the Jr High class president schtick of “no more homework and the vending machines are all free!”, they fall for it...." From RCP, Chicago Chases Away the Rich. Miami Says 'Thank You'.

Sarah Anderson at PJM, says Talarico Has Been Spotted. His Appearance Creates More Questions Than Answers. "Either Talarico is hiding something or whoever is running his campaign is a complete and total idiot. Possibly, both things are true." 

Dan McCarthy at Chronic says Liberal Doves Are No Answer to Liberal Hawks. "Liberal doves have failed almost as badly as liberal hawks over the past three decades, and their failures are inextricably related. The fundamental problem isn’t hawkishness or dovishness, but liberalism. It is incompatible with realism."

Bob Spencer at PJM, likes how Trump Mocks Hochul, and It's a Riot: ‘Hi, Gestating.’

Ben Weingarten at Da Fed asserts If Jack Smith’s Goons Don’t Pay For Their Crimes, Innocent Americans Will. Sundance hosts Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard Delivers Speech Warning About the Modern Surveillance State and the Threat of Islamic Extremism.

Betsy McCaughey at Hat Hair, says it's Time to End Democrats' Lynch-Law Justice for College Boys. At Althouse, "You don't have to look at the facts and the law. All you have to do is study what they do." "Letitia James offers a gift to Saritha Komatireddy:" Amy Curtis @RantyAmyCurtis, "Because young men have learned that if they date a girl and it goes bad, she can come back and accuse them of rape two years after the fact. She can strangle his children and the media will circle the wagons to protect her. She can divorce him and take half of everything. That’s why." Quote Chris Hatch @Dirtdog, "Attention Young Men: I am surrounded by 20 year old girls in my life that are smart, capable, hard working and cute. Nobody is dating them. Not sure what the deal is, but I don’t get it."

Kyle Becker at RedState sees a Tech Titan Go Scorched Earth Over Hit Job on Trump's Sons, Even CNN Suspects Dirty Pool. Richard Grenell @RichardGrenell, "Editors need to stop assigning political reporters to do finance and economic stories. The WSJ now employs a bunch of former Politico and Huffington Post bloggers who don’t understand basic finance issues." Quote Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "Wow. Read the article. (Link below.) What a stunning set of mistakes by ABC News."

Dave Strom at Hat Hair looks at French Street Protests and sees It's Not Many Students, and Lots of Leftists and Islamists and She Got the Nobel Prize for Hating Israel; UPDATE: Elisha Wiesel Condemns. From Althouse, "Language and Linguistics for Decolonization and Liberation and for Peace and Community Building — From the River to the Sea in Palestine and Israel to the Mountaintops of Haiti and Beyond." "That's the name of the class discussed in "The Controversial Class That M.I.T. Is Paying a Professor Not to Teach/Michel DeGraff, a vocal pro-Palestinian activist, can’t be easily fired because he has tenure. But he has been kicked out of his department" (NYT)."

Driscoll at Insty thinks ELON MUSK’S ENEMIES MAKE HIS BEST CASE: "In 2023, Alex Gibney, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker, announced that he was working on a documentary about Elon Musk. He asked Musk for an interview. The answer was delivered on X: “Gibney,” Musk informed his 241.5 million followers, “is a douche.” You could take the world’s richest man at his word. Or you could spend three hours and 55 minutes watching Gibney do his best to prove Musk right. ... The real America, the one we know from discernible and observable facts, is nowhere on display. In Gibneystan, no record exists of Musk the champion environmentalist, hailed by the left until he refused to continue and parrot its platitudes. Nor is there any mention of Big Tech’s frequent and egregious collusion with Democrat-controlled administrations; the sin of seeking proximity to political power is unique to the devilish Musk himself."

From the College Fix, University of Kansas removes menstrual products from men’s bathrooms.

Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_, "Sophie responds to the article from @TheAthletic demanding Fever to drop her "If you're going to live by the praise, you'll die by the hate.....I'm going to continue to do me.....suck it" This is the appropriate response. We should all be more like this."

Palm Sunday

 With Maya Allegra:

At Reuters Connect, A small palm tree is submerged in water outside the Destin - Fort Walton Welcome + Adventure Center the morning after Hurricane. 

If that's the worst they could come up with, they did well.

Maryland, My Maryland

 From the Balmer Sun, Rockville man indicted for alleged $100 million COVID fraud scheme

A Rockville man was indicted by a federal grand jury on Friday in connection with an alleged COVID-19 fraud scheme of more than $100 million, the U.S. Attorney for Maryland said.

Marc Aaron Potash, 57, of Rockville, was charged with conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud, seven counts of healthcare fraud and five counts of conducting transactions in criminally derived proceeds, the federal prosecutor’s office said.

Between January 2022 and May 2026, according to the office, Potash allegedly conspired to enrich himself as well as a Gaithersburg-based company he founded and served as its CEO, Tiero, LLC, by submitting false and fraudulent claims to Medicare, Medicaid, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and other insurers for self-administered COVID-19 tests.

The office said that Potash and his co-conspirators sent false emails, letters and other documents to the Maryland Department of Health to get a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments certification for the company. Those documents falsely claimed Tiero’s medical providers were performing on-site COVID testing at the company, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said, and used the CLIA license to make claims to insurers. 

Instead, they were shipping over-the-counter COVID tests to insured people across the country, and submitting more than $100 million in fraudulent claims that resulted in more than $50 million in insurance payments to Tiero, the office said.

Prosecutors allege that Potash bought a Range Rover, a Mercedes-Benz and $4 million in property in Beallsville, in Montgomery County, and made security transfers totalling more than $12 million.

If convicted, Potash faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison for conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and each count of healthcare fraud and conducting transactions in criminally derived proceeds, the office said, although it noted that actual sentences typically are less than the maximum.

$100,000,000? The man thinks big. I guess it's a little late to expect to get much of it back.

Flotsam and Jets - Talarico Turns Up

As soon as they noticed he had been absent for 10 days he showed up. Stacy McCain is on it, Rumors Swirl: Where Is James Talarico? UPDATE: Talarico Appears in Public "The Talarico campaign had been stonewalling and making excuses, but as soon as I took notice of the candidate’s mysterious absence, they wheeled him out in public ... So I guess he got a day pass from the psych ward." Kyle Becker at RedState, We May Have an Answer to the 'Missing' Talarico Mystery. This Looks Bad. Really Bad. "former L.A. mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, who is not the only one who has sources making this assertion, says that Talarico appears to have checked into a mental health facility." Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt, "My sources are telling me Talarico is in a mental health facility. His campaign has stopped actively planning events in the vital homestretch of the campaign. If this is true, this is actually a time to pray for Talarico. We should, of course, savagely mock his smug, awful campaign advisors, by all means...and while yes, of course, this would be disqualifying for Talarico's aspirations to be a Texas Senator, we must hold empathy for anyone undergoing crisis. Campaigns are brutal, and not everybody is cut out for it. You need very thick skin. As much as I don't want Talarico anywhere near government, I also don't want wish him harm, and no political office is worth having a breakdown. His awful advisors are at fault for this. They pushed him to be something he isn't, and it didn't work. I'm praying that this isn't true, and he's OK. You want to win these fights on the battlefield of ideas, not the minefield of poor health." PJM's Matt Margolis, If This Is True About James Talarico, He's Finished. Kurt Schlichter at TownHall, So Where Did Talarico Go? "He’s been missing in action since the end of September — time to send out a search party. Maybe we can help, but looking for him is like playing Where’s Waldo, except easier, because you can safely avoid barbecue joints, gun ranges, or churches that actually believe in Jesus." So Talarico might actually be crazy? It's so hard to tell with Democrats.

Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, Mamdani: I Demand Trump Release Illegal Alien, Gang Member, and Felon! UPDATE. That's just insane. Bret Stephens at NYT opines on Zohran Mamdani’s Moral Obscenity. I'm surprised they let him. Mike LaChance at LI hears Only 300 Attend Hasan Piker Event at UT-Austin After Thousands Sign Up. At Insty, Dave Bernstein, GOD SAVE THE JEWISH PEOPLE FROM RABBIS WHO CAN’T RECOGNIZE EVIL LITERALLY STARING THEM IN THE FACE and Sarah Hoyt at Insty says I CAN DISTINGUISH. THEY MADE ME STUDY IT IN HIGH SCHOOL. I KNOW THE THEORY. FOR THE PRACTICE, DATAREPUBLICAN IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT: Up front, here are the definitions (plus bonus Leninism definition): Communists = Strive for a classless society with common ownership of production. Marxists = Communists who believe in a classless society as the end of history. Leninists = Those who idolize the man who operationalized Marxism to its logical conclusion. Socialists = Fake meaning (Berniebros): Kids who like free stuff. Real meaning (PSL, DSA): Communists who pretend to tolerate dissent.

At ¡No Pasaran! Election Protection helps prevent legal votes being cancelled by cheaters and elections being rigged by powerful interests

Ace hears Workers At Obama's Soviet Concrete Butt Plug Tower of Ego Threaten to Unionize Over Low Wages and Long Hours. "Here's my guess: They don't work very hard and they're paid more than they're worth. I hate to defend the Stuttering Clusterf*** of a Miserable Failure like that, but I bet he hired a bunch of DEI dregs who are surprised they're being "coerced" into working at all. We'll have to see, though. Either way, I'm glad to see the SCOAMF is being inconvenienced by the Marxism he champions." John Stossel @JohnStossel, "Seattle city council wanted to help "exploited" gig workers. So they forced delivery apps to pay drivers MORE. "I wouldn’t assume that prices are going to go up," said one politician. But prices DID go up. @judgeglock of @ManhattanInst explains how regulation backfired." At PJM another West Coast, Messed Coast™ Vicky Taft claims A Foolproof Test to Confirm If Elected Leaders Are Unserious Boobs. You should presume they are until the prove otherwise. Also, Nick Shirley Does It Again: A $120 Can of Spam Busts Open Seattle's Food Stamp Fraud. At Ace's, Trump Announces That Almost 500 Criminal Fraudsters Have Been Arrested While Living in Taxpayer-Funded Public Housing, "Outstanding."

At Shooting News Week, Kurt Schlichter expounds on This is How the Execution of Nidal Hasan Should Be Carried Out. Old school. Eric S. Raymond @esrtweet, "I'm opposed to the death penalty, because I want to allow governments as few pretexts for murdering people as possible. Criminals should be executed by their intended victims at the time of the intended crime. On the other hand, I'm hearing so much butthurt screaming about the upcoming public execution of the Fort Hood terrorist, uniformly from people that I despise, that I feel kind of like supporting it." From Twitchy, Sit This One Out, Lady: Hillary Clinton Is Aghast That America Is Publicly Executing a Terrorist. "There's "sit this one out," and then there's "STFU, you reprehensible harridan!""

From the National Security J, A Disaster Is Coming for Iran: The Economy Is Tanking At Warp Speed as Donald Trump Squeezes Tehran More and More. "One of Iran’s top security officials says the country is going through one of the most difficult periods in its history, as the rial hits record lows and Iranians drain their savings. Iran’s oil minister also resigned on Sunday, though Tehran says it was for personal reasons." AG @AGHamilton29, "OpenAI has revealed Iranian operatives used AI to create and plant articles claiming to be from Western journalists. They also created social media accounts for the fake journalists and flooded related social media posts with comments. https://openai.com/index/disrupting-ai-enabled-false-front-operations."

Sundance at CTH hears President Trump Announces Diesel Supply Agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin. OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical, "Just hours after the U.S. eased sanctions on Russian fuel exports, Ukrainian attack drones struck the NZNP Rostovsky oil products export terminal in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. The Russian fuel export terminal was set ablaze." wretchardthecat @wretchardthecat, "SpaceX satellites to "drop like flies" should they interfere with Russia says Medvedev." Quote Dmitry Medvedev @MedvedevRussiaE, "Kiev moron's request to “block” Russia’s Rassvet satellites can only imply their destruction, a sure way to a full-scale space war. I hope the US gets this. Otherwise, Starlink satellites will drop like flies. Space is a cramped place so it's a must to be mutually polite." Elon Musk makes Starlink satellites like Frito makes Doritos.

Mary Chastain at LI reports Rubio Sanctions ICC: The Court ‘Will End Its Threats or We Will End the ICC’ “Our message is clear: the United States and its people are not subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC.” Sundance dances as President Trump Sanctions Politically Motivated International Criminal Court (ICC).

Sundance not unhappy that Canada Loses 68,000 Jobs in September After Losing 41,700 Jobs in August, Keep keeping those elbows up!

Leslie Eastman at LI, Hegseth Puts Warfighting Skills at the Center of Military Promotions, "The proposed Joint Warfighting Evaluations are envisioned to be something along the lines of the 1941 Louisiana Maneuvers, which showcased the skills of Eisenhower and Patton….but with AI!." Ace thinks
AI Companies are Wargaming a Public Relations Campaign to Assauge (sic) Citizens After a "Catastrophic" AI Event -- Which They Predict Will Happen Next Year, "This is worrying."

Katie Zacharia allegedly

Sundance hosts President Trump Announces Katie Zacharia as White House Press Secretary, I hope she's as good a Karoline Leavitt, and President Trump Celebrates Columbus Day at the White House, with the restored statue of Columbus that vandal protesters broke up and dumped in Baltimore Harbor. Quoth the Raven at QTR’s Fringe Finance, Judy Shelton, Scott Bessent And The Coming Gold Revaluation?. "The Treasury Secretary just brought one of America's most prominent gold advocates into his inner circle. ... About a week ago, I wrote an article exploring what would happen if the United States decided to revalue its enormous gold reserves, which are still officially carried on the government’s books at the absurd price of $42.22 per ounce. I explained how a revaluation could potentially create trillions of dollars in new Treasury financing capacity and, taken to an extreme, fundamentally alter the relationship between the dollar, gold and the national debt."

Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman, "IT WAS ALWAYS A SCAM. A whistleblower inside Letitia James’ own office says investigators spent a year on the Trumps, found no evidence, and still got ordered to keep digging because “what Tish wanted, Tish got.” No case. No crime. Just a vendetta with a badge. This is lawfare and the New York Post just put it on the front page." Ace says Oh, No! DOJ Seeks Perjury Indictment Against January 6th Fabulist Madison Cornbread, "Not Madison Cornbread! Madison Cornbread, no! Noooooo!" His name for Cassidy Hutchinson. Also, Three "Students" Arrested for Threatening to Murder the President. "CNN won't cover this. But I do remember CNN hyperventilating that a meme showing Trump beating up a wrestler with "CNN" superimposed upon his head was an unbearable threat to kill a reporter, and that a Trump crowd chanting "CNN Sucks!" was a direct threat against noted tough-guy mike-grabbing-woman-harasser Jim Acosta."

On Deep Background, Will the Court Stop Climate Lawsuits From Becoming a National Carbon Tax? I expect so.

Regarding the "Cornell 7" + 1, Inez Stepman @InezFeltscher, "I predict my comments to The Hill will age well: “I’m on the opposite side of whatever narrative is going on about Cornell here. Cornell would have bent over backwards to make sure that there were consequences, even to the point of violating probably some of these young men’s due process rights, if they were able to do so,” said Inez Stepman, senior legal and policy analyst at Independent Women’s Forum, a conservative women advocacy group. The case “should not be going through trial by mob,” Stepman added. “The environment in which we talk about these issues is frankly hostile to getting to the truth of them, and extremely and unnecessarily reputationally damaging for everybody involved, and it’s kind of a disgrace, honestly, the way these cases blow up, the way that the student newspaper published the names, that the whole thing, to me, is a disgraceful way to treat like a serious issue.” Quote Inez Stepman @InezFeltscher, "I have said since day one of this Cornell 7 thing that it's far, far, FAR more likely that the school violated the Constitutional due process rights of the boys involved than that it downplayed or brushed aside the allegations of sexual misconduct. Feeling really good about that."

Sarah Hoyt at Insty, SERIOUSLY? CONSIDERING HOW MUCH THE LATEST WAVES OF ILLEGALS WERE DRAWING ON THE SYSTEM THEY NEVER PAID INTO: "because they were being signed on for disability and other benefits at the border, this is highly improbable: NEW REPORT: Trump’s Mass Deportation Agenda Could Cut Social Security Retiree Benefits by $2,152 a Year, Economists Find. And if you dig to find who these economists are… A brand new firm this year that is apparently all about enforcing immigration is bad for the economy? All 3 (three) of them? I’d bet money they’re ex-government employees!" Jihad Watch watches UK Plans to Welcome ‘Palestinian’ Migrants. To be fair, the mess in the mideast owes a lot to British intervention. 

Dave Strom wonders if it's Time to Blast Strasbourg? Brit Hume @brithume, "Excellent thread on the forces involved in the riots in France." Quote Fox News Politics @foxnewspolitics, "A Fox News Digital investigation traces how France's student protests over education cuts are being hijacked by a sprawling network of communist activists, labor unions and far-left political parties — all amplified by a transnational propaganda machine funded by Neville Roy." Andy Doyle at WaPoo opines John Cleese is not a terrorist, "The former Monty Python star’s criticism of Islam is a free-speech matter, not one for government intrusion."

From the Free Bacon, Harvard Celebrates Its Boycott-Israel, Blood Libel Nobel Laureate. "Prize winner is Harvard Law grad who returned to campus in 2022 to demonize Jewish state." At Campus Reform, EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Pro-Palestine students destroy October 7 memorial, allegedly set conservative's clothing on fire. "Anti-Israel students at a New Mexico university vandalized a memorial honoring victims of Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Expression expresses, Acceptance of violence and shoutdowns fell in 2026, but so did tolerance. "A breaking wave?" From Da Signal, What Has Become of Charlottesville, Virginia? "... now that a 37-year-old schoolteacher from Albemarle County, named Michael Swiney, is facing 20 charges of sexual misconduct involving elementary school students, where are FOX News and ABC and CNN these days?" Luke Rosiak @lukerosiak, ""Never give up": A sex investigation found a male professor innocent, so the college just kept redoing it with new investigators as activists fished for a different result. A different result never came, but the college paid the accusers $10M anyway."
