Flotsam and Jetsam - New Jersey Registered 6600 Illegals to Vote

We're still dwelling on President Trump's speech on election integrity and the fallout thereof. CNN's Michael Smerconish hosted at Hat Hair, 'If It's Newsworthy Enough to Rebut, It's Worth Airing' From TownHall, Trump Was Right: NJ Gov. Mikie Sherrill Forced to Eat Crow Over Massive Voter Registration Error.

Dave Catron at Am Spec sees Mail-In-Voting: Appeals Court Hands Trump Big Win "The court ruled that the USPS may require states to turn over voter rolls before mailing out ballots." Flopping Aces @FloppingAces, "The D.C. Circuit didn’t rule that fraud happened. It ruled that freezing a basic ballot-tracking rule would cause irreparable harm before the November election. Read that again. A federal appeals court just said the administration needs time to implement serialized barcodes and voter-list submissions for mail-in ballots. Not mass purges. Not voter ID theater. Simple chain-of-custody tools so the Postal Service can track what it carries. And the reaction? Full institutional meltdown..." Bob Hoge at RedState wonders What Are They So Afraid Of? CA AG Bonta's Slippery Title Switch Tries to Kneecap Voter ID Measure. Larry Correia @monsterhunter45, "The thousands of comments on my voter fraud post remind me of one very important thing. The issue isn't about Trump. It is about the perception of the citizens. But they need to make it about Trump. It is difficult to dismiss the valid concerns of millions of nervous or angry citizens. It is easy to dismiss one guy as a sore loser and make the whole thing about his ego. Hence any discussion of this topic inevitably devolves into them fixating on Trump and the details surrounding one election and one moment in time, and ignoring everything else in the universe, up to and including fundamental human nature (as in some people cheat)." Christian Heiens @ChristianHeiens, "If given enough time, the rules will always be gamed in order to subvert the game itself and defeat the purpose of the contest in the first place. This is inevitable because the rewards are too great. The point is never to have a good time or even to entertain the audience. The point is to win. So the rules will be maliciously “followed”, even as the animating spirit behind them dies. This tweet isn’t about basketball."

BarChart, When Brazil Catches Cold, Coffee Catches Fire

Coffee sentiment over the past month has been shaped almost entirely by Brazil. A cold front moving through Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and Parana has raised fresh frost risk concerns just as the 2025/26 harvest winds down, a development that briefly lifted prices toward $2.60 per pound from levels closer to $2.50, which had been the lowest since November 2024. Traders are also watching the developing El Nino pattern, with industry analysis suggesting a stronger event could delay the September to October rains that are critical for the 2026/27 flowering period in Brazil, a risk that extends well beyond the current harvest cycle. At the same time, ICE certified arabica stocks have fallen to 396,171 bags, sharply below the 859,389 bags held a year earlier, reinforcing the view that near term physical supply remains tight even as the broader narrative turns bearish.

Flotsam and Jetsam - East Wing, Trump to Build Back Better

Dave Strom at Hat Hair sees Hell Froze Over: WaPo Defends Ballroom in Editorial "In classic Trump fashion, the president is pursuing a reasonable idea in the most jarring manner possible. Privately, many alumni of the Biden and Obama White Houses acknowledge the long-overdue need for an event space like what Trump is creating. It is absurd that tents need to be erected on the South Lawn for state dinners, and VIPs are forced to use porta-potties." News Wax cites a Former Biden Aide: Demolition of East Wing 'Probably Needed'. WokeSpy reports Warren Launches “Investigation” Into Privately Funded Trump Ballroom, Gets Roasted Online. At TownHall Amy Curtis hears Chelsea Clinton Lectures Trump on the 'People’s House' and Trips Over Her Own Parents Instead and Matt Vespa wonders Is This the Most Insane Reaction to President Trump's East Wing Project? Tara Setmayer @TaraSetmayer, "It’s feels almost the same as when I saw the Pentagon damage on 9/11." It's a high bar, but she might have cleared it. No Pasaran sees the irony in the people toppling Jefferson's statues suddenly finding the East Wing to be sacred ground, Mind-Boggling: America's statues "weren't desecrated or destroyed" — The Left Is Rewriting Its Mobs Tearing Down of Statues to Only a Desire to Put Them "into museums to commemorate the fallen during the Civil War." Vicky Taft at PJM notes Bill Maher Thinks Trump Won't Leave Office After Building the Big Beautiful Ballroom. I 'll bet he really doesn't, it's just fun to say. Althouse reads the WaPoo, and has the solution to their objection, Washington itself "dwarfs" the original White House — I think the solution is symmetry. "My symmetry solution: Build up the West Wing into the size of the new East Wing. The presidential complex really should be that large. Once there is symmetry in the wings, the iconic building in the center will be the focus of attention and the 2 hulks on either side will blend into the background that is all of Washington D.C. — a city full of hulkingly large buildings. The West and East Wings will provide a transition from the brutal city. They will loom in our peripheral vision as we gaze at the Executive Residence — the building that has always been the only building we see in our mind when we think of the White House. I'll bet you think the Oval Office is in that building. It's not! It's in the West Wing. So take care with the demolition work when you undertake Project Symmetry. And by "you," I mean Mr. Donald Trump! Because the way to clinch the argument that the East Wing project is good is to use your building prowess in pursuit of proportionality." Go for it Donald! Only three years left, unless Bill Maher is right!

Yesterday afternoon was the first anniversary of the very nearly successful assassination attempt of then candidate Donald Trump by Thomas Crooks in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Bob Hoge at RedState, Introspective Trump Sits for Interview With Daughter-in-Law Lara, Labels Biden 'Worst President' Ever. From NYPo, Secret Service officials were aware of ‘classified threat’ 10 days before Butler assassination attempt, failed to tell agents guarding Trump and Ex-Secret Service director fires back at Rand Paul’s accusations she lied about lack of resources given to Trump’s Butler rally. Althouse, "The Secret Service failed to prevent the assassination attempt against Donald Trump last year at his Pennsylvania campaign rally, according to a Senate committe[e] report..." ""... which accuses the agency of a botched operation snarled by communication fumbles and the repeated denial of extra security assets at a time when the former president faced heightened threats on his life.... The report shed no new light about the assailant’s motives — which remain a mystery to investigators one year on — but painted a picture of an expansive security detail that was erroneously left in the dark as an assassination attempt unfolded." Ben Smith at LI is Exposing the Media’s Spin Trump on Assassination Attempt Anniversary. "That’s why alternative media must remain vigilant, because truth has too few defenders and far too many editors."

And as long as we're on DOJ stuff, Sarah Arnold at TownHall wonders Is the DOJ (really) Building a Bombshell Conspiracy Case Against Deep State Plot to Stop Trump? I hope so. From Da Wire, Trump Justice Department Sues California Over Egg Prices  "“Through a combination of voter initiatives, legislative enactments, and regulations, California has effectively prevented farmers across the country from using a number of agricultural production methods which were in widespread use — and which helped keep eggs affordable,” the lawsuit reads."

Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair sees Kamala's Latest Flip-Flop. Plastic Straw Ban. Twitchy notes even Dana Bash finds Kamala 'EVASIVE' --> Dana Bash Gives DAMNINGLY Honest Review of Her Kamala/Tim Walz Interview and WOW (Watch). From Real Clear Defense, What is the Kamala Harris Doctrine? "Based on her brief remarks about foreign policy in her acceptance speech, we know Harris favors a Palestinian state (“self-determination” for the Palestinian people) and a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, i.e., Israel stopping its offensive in Gaza. We know she favors continuing to provide military aid to Ukraine. She said nothing about Taiwan, and next to nothing about China. The latter is a glaring omission because the U.S. and China, as Niall Ferguson and others have explained, are waging Cold War II against each other."
