Betsey Stauffer at LI, Tucker Carlson Officially Exits the Republican Party; ‘It’s Immoral … I’m Out’ “How could I or any American voter support a political party that’s not loyal to the United States?

THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13, "US-Iran Peace Talks Fail. The US delegation, led by JD Vance, entered the meeting arena first. This was strange, because the party that claims to be the upper hand typically arrives last. Shortly after, the Iranian delegation arrived. They greeted the mediator, Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif, but informed him that they refused to negotiate due to recent threats issued by Trump. They didn't meet Vance and then abruptly left. A panicked Sharif frantically requested his boss, "Field Marshal" Munir, to intervene, but Munir also appeared helpless. Watching from a distance, Vance approached and asked what had happened. A shaken Sharif and Munir apologetically explained the situation to him."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Bondi Out at DOJ

First a rumor, then officially announced, Pam Bondi is to leave the job of Attorney General at DOJ for an unspecified private sector job. Asst AJ Todd Blanche, a former Trump lawyer will replace her at least temporarily although EPA Admin Lee Zeldin is thought to be a strong possibility for a permanent replacement. Both Trump and Bondi are being nice about it, but I suppose there's plenty of time for a nasty tell all book later. Reasons for her dismissal are vague, most speculate it percolated up from the way she botched the Epstein files releases, saying she had the file of Epstein clients "on my desk," when it turned out there really isn't such a file. It could have just been unfortunate bureaucrat speech, but it makes it much too easy to charge a cover up. Or it could have been her failure to exact legal vengeance on those who committed lawfare against Trump. One odd rumor suggests she tipped off Eric Swalwell to the investigation coming his way over Fang Fang. Fox, Pam Bondi already fired as attorney general, cabinet official teed up as replacement: sources. Jeff Charles at TownHall, President Trump Fires Pam Bondi. Sarah Anderson at PJM, Pam Bondi Fired, Todd Blanche to Replace Her as Acting Attorney General. Sundance at CTH is not sad, Bondi Out. "Readers of CTH will likely not see this as a surprise. {Go Deep}Pam Bondi was the second sequential cabinet level removal prediction we made after she was announced. {GO DEEP} The first person we predicted to be removed was National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Susie Wiles should be embarrassed." Althouse likes her NYT, "Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job..." ""... overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900. We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP" Trump, at Truth Social." Ace, Breaking: Multiple Reports That Trump Has Told Pam Bondi That Her Time as AG Is Coming to an End "Update: She's been fired now?" and Bondi's Out. Is Tulsi Next?! "As you know, Pam Bondi was fired today. This article repeats the rumor that Trump believed she was leaking to Eric Swallwell:" Matt Vespa at TownHall, Pam Bondi Reportedly Isn't the Only One on the Chopping Block, with picture of Tulsi. At Hat Hair Capt. Ed calls it Too Weird to Check: Trump Canned Bondi Over ... Swalwell? Sundance, No, Bondi Was Not Fired for Leaking to Swalwell and Bondi’s Replacement is Important, But Not as Important as Perceived. Reason whines Pam Bondi's Loyalty to Trump Wasn't Enough To Save Her Job "Ultimately, Bondi's fulsome defense of the president could not overcome blowback over her handling of the Epstein files."

I've got little reason to diss Bondi, though I do think she botched the Epstein matter. But the job of AG is a very important one, particularly in the era of lawfare. If Blanche or Zeldin would be better for the administration, yes, make the change. As for Tulsi, I would not be in a rush to dump her. She and RFK Jr are the evidence that Trump is willing to work with the principled opposition. Moreover, both Pam and Tulsi were dropped into snake pit; both Justice and the intelligence community are seething masses of anti-Trump fervor. It's hard to know which snakes are the King Snakes and which are the Coral Snakes.

Flotsam and Jetsam - "These People are Crazy"

Of course, we're still seeing fallout from Tuesday's SOTU speech. PJM's Matt Margolis thinks CNN’s Instant Poll of the State of the Union Will Trigger the Left, but then, doesn't everything? “Get this reaction from those that watch the speech tonight. 38% said they had a very positive reaction to the speech, 25% somewhat positive, 36% negative.” He paused just long enough for the math to sink in. “So roughly two-thirds in the positive territory, one-third negative among speech watchers.” Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, CNN Poll: By Golly, Trump Moved the Needle Last Night. VodkaPundit at PJM called it A Masterclass in Giving a Speech Without Giving a Speech. Ace claims Trump Directs and Films the Main Political Advetisement for the Midterms "I personally thought the speech started well but then got tedious and meandering. Then again, I know the economy is doing pretty well. Thanks to the propaganda Nazi media, most citizens don't. Many observers, including Democrat spinners, think it was effective."

But it might be a good thing for our culture if they weren’t *all* massive weirdos.” - @charlescwcooke" Shooting News Weekly @SN_Weekly_, "Permit me, if you will, to offer a humble counterargument: In my estimation, Eileen Gu is a mercenary sports traitor who ought to be muttered about darkly, whereas the USA men’s hockey team is chock full of awesome, fun-loving, patriotic champions who deserve every last drop of their newfound national esteem."

Dave Strom sees Mamdani and AOC Announce Free Child Care for Illegal Aliens. Batya Ungar-Sargon @bungarsargon, ""We are so excited and proud of the thing that is a racist MAGA conspiracy theory if you notice and complain about it" - the Left, 2026" Quote End Wokeness @EndWokeness, "Mayor Mamdani and AOC release ad to encourage illegal aliens to sign up for 𝙁𝙍𝙀𝙀 𝘾𝙃𝙄𝙇𝘿𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙀, in Spanish." Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker, "Serious question: does any other country in the world have major politicians using social media to advertise to illegal migrants to come and take welfare benefits from taxpaying citizens?" Quote Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "Zohran Mamdani and AOC just put out a video promoting FREE DAYCARE for illegal aliens... completely in Spanish. Democrats are taking Americans' money and spending it on foreign invaders." From Da Mail, CNN star says Democrats cannot be trusted to run cities like NYC and LA. "They're out of control!" Dave Strom hears from a San Francisco Liberal who Can't Understand Why His City Can't Be Safe and Clean Like Taipei. 

At NYPo, Jonathan Turley is disgusted by Newsom and foul-mouthed spokesman leading the Democrats’ race to the bottom. Althouse finds "The first duty in life is that we all strike a pose... I struck a pose, I put a mask on, and at times my face grew into it, becoming someone I couldn't even recognize."" "Newsom attributes the line —"The first duty in life is that we all strike a pose, and the second duty no one's really figured out" — to Oscar Wilde."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump and the 'Donroe' Doctrine

Carlo Carrasco, Venezuela’s Dictator Maduro Captured By Trump’s America, Will Be Tried In Court. CDB at Ace's Let Slip The Dogs Of War. At NYPo, Nicolás Maduro live updates: Venezuela VP ordered to become interim president: Supreme Court and Venezuelan opposition leader, 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado poised to take the place of Nicolas Maduro. We'll see about that. From News Wax, Trump Warns Colombia's Petro to 'Watch His A**'. Insty at his substack on Trump, Maduro, and What's Next "Five dimensional chess? Or is it six?" At Twitchy, 'The Irony. The SIZZLE': Hilarious Thread Highlights the BEST Satirical Posts Following Fall of Maduro.

PJM's Matt Margolis explains Here’s How Maduro Was Captured, and It’s Pretty Darn Cool. Matt Vespa at TownHall, So, That's How Delta Force Was Able to Capture Maduro So Easily and Two Papers Found Out About Trump's Venezuela Raid Early. Here's What They Did.

USA Today, Trump calls Monroe Doctrine the 'Donroe Doctrine' after Venezuela raid. Carlos Flores at The Spec wonders Can the ‘Donroe doctrine’ really change Venezuela? A quad from sundance at CTH, President Trump Discusses Capture of Maduro During First Interview, President Trump Holds a Press Conference Following Capture of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro, Sunday Talks – Secretary of State Marco Rubio Discusses Venezuela Objectives and Despite Media Protestations – No Congressional Notification Needed or Warranted in Maduro Operation. At Althouse, "You can't turn Venezuela into the operating hub for Iran, for Russia, for Hezbollah, for China, for the Cuban intelligence agents that control that country," Said Marco Rubio, on "Meet the Press" this morning and "'The task in front of him is stupefying,' said a senior U.S. official, noting the dizzying array of policy decisions related to energy, elections, sanctions and security that await," "From "Rubio takes on most challenging role yet: Viceroy of Venezuela/The top U.S. diplomat has pushed for regime change for over a decade. Now the hard part begins" (WaPo)." Joe Cunningham at RedState, House Speaker Reacts to Maduro Capture: 'He Learned What Accountability Looks Like.'

Becca Lower at RedState, Vice President Vance Has a Timely 'PSA' for Dems Melting Down Over 'Illegal' Venezuela Op. Matt Vespa, Oh, So That's Why Vice President Vance Wasn't at Mar-a-Lago Watching the Venezuelan Raid. From Woke Spy, ‘America is Back’: Pete Hegseth Drops a FAFO in Epic Speech on Historic Maduro Mission. 

Eugyppius: a plague chronicle, Entirely irrelevant Eurotards assure the world they are "closely monitoring the situation" after the U.S. strikes Venezuela and captures President Nicolás Maduro." Marc ”七十 Billy” Zeller @Marczeller, "I’m devastated by this illegal capture of an elected head of state by Trump. I live in constant fear my beloved leader, Macron who lives at 55 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, Paris share the same fate. He’s usually home with Brigitte by 9pm."

Clinton @614clinton "Not a word, and no outrage from the loony left when President Joe Biden had President 'Juan Orlando Hernandez' of Honduras arrested and extradited to the United States for drug trafficking." Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY, "Kind of wild just how dumb and dishonest he was." and Hunter Biden rn realizing his Dad could’ve just taken over all the cocaine. Matt Margolis, Kamala Harris Humiliates Herself Condemning Capture of Maduro. Dan Greenfield at Front Page, Week Too Late: Sen. Schumer Vows Vote to Block Venezuela Action Next Week. "No word on whether it will ask for Maduro's return." Nick Arama at RedState, Whoops: Schumer's 'Open Mouth, Insert Foot' Moment as Dems' Hypocrisy Hits Hyper Drive on Venezuela. LifeZette, Democrats Melt Down, Side with Narco Terrorist Dictator, and Against the People of Venezuela. WJ, Democrats Erupt Over Trump's Venezuela Strike, Say Marco Rubio 'Blatantly Lied to Congress'. Anxious anxiously reports Trump faces quick criticism from Democrats over Maduro capture. At Insty, THE PROBLEM IS ALWAYS JUST THAT TRUMP IS DOING IT: Sunny @sunnyright, "I was told the problem was that we were killing narcoterrorists rather than using force to detain and prosecute them. Turns out detaining and prosecuting them wasn’t acceptable either."

Besty Stauffer at LI notes Dems’ TDS Leaves Them Defending a Narco-State, “Portland chants ‘free Maduro’ while actual Venezuelans celebrate in the streets.” Hat Hair, Dems Call a Waahmbulance While Real Venezuelans Rejoice. - "To those who say that the United States is only interested in oil, I ask those people: What do you think the Russians and the Chinese wanted? The recipe for arepas?" At Pop Times, Communists Rally in Times Square Demanding Narco-Terrorists Dictator Maduro’s Release. Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes, "EXPOSED: The “Hands Off Venezuela” protest taking place in New York City supporting Nicolas Maduro is being organized by ‘The People’s Forum’ The People’s Forum is a NGO that has received over $20 million dollars from a billionaire who lives in China with ties to the CCP The NGOs primary funding over $20 million Neville Roy Singham - Singham’s residence in Shanghai. - His business ties are to the CCP - He attends CCP-related events - He funds media outlets echoing Chinese state narratives" Amy Curtis @RantyAmyCurtis, "The news broke this morning, and they all have pre-printed signs. These people are not genuine. They're all paid astroturfers. Ignore them." Nate Friedman @NateFriedman97, "I showed a "no war with venzuela" protestor how venezuelans are celebrating in the streets. brain.exe stopped working." Drew Pavlou @DrewPavlou, "Luigi Mangione should be allowed to execute American civilians with zero consequences but Trump removing Maduro is Le “War Crime” The left is a joke. Nobody cares what you idiots think anymore." No Pasaran! "Venezuela's Suicide" — Democrat whipsaw from one policy priority to the next: In 2018, Leftists Decried "A Failed State" Under Chavez and Maduro. Matt Vespa, Venezuelan Reporter Had a Brutal Message for the Libs Trying to Blame Trump for the Maduro Raid. Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand, "Massie gets credit for being “pro-American” while discarding the very principle that makes American prosperity possible: property rights. Venezuela didn’t “own its oil” in any meaningful moral sense once it signed contracts, accepted billions in U.S. capital, and then seized assets, equity, and cash flows by force. . . "

Insty, CHAT GPT SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE PROFESSORS ON THE INTERNATIONAL LAW PROFESSORS EMAIL LIST: Arthur MacWaters @ArthurMacwaters "I asked ChatGPT & Grok whether it was a crime for Trump to arrest Maduro (a common & important question today) ChatGPT said yes: - falsely assumed that Maduro was legitimately elected - defaulted to referencing the UN charter and "international experts" - has an anti-American slant, both explicitly and implicitly. It sounds like a left-leaning law professor at any Ivy League school! Grok said no: - correctly explained Maduro's fraudulent rule - explained Trump's power as commander in chief to direct the military to execute federal warrants This is incredibly important to get right, as it will increasingly be the default information layer for society." The old GIGO rule still applies. Also Insty, YOU CAN TELL THINGS ARE GETTING SERIOUS WHEN THE RECRUITING ADS FEATURE WHITE GUYS AGAIN, AND THIS IS WHY: Dale Stark @DaleStarkA10, "Everyone loves to hate on white guys until they need someone to black-bag a head of state and be home in time for breakfast."

From Fox, Iran and Maduro ties suffer major blow following US operation and capture of Venezuelan dictator, "Experts say Venezuela served as operational hub for Iranian terrorism, drug trafficking and power projection in Latin America." John Solomon at JTN, Obama failed to support Iran’s freedom protesters two decades ago, but Trump just rectified that "Another chance at an "Arab Spring": If Iran violently kills peaceful protesters, the United States of America will come to their rescue, Trump said in a 3 a.m. post Friday on his TruthSocial platform. "We are locked and loaded and ready to go."" The Times, Ayatollah Khamenei plans to flee to Moscow if Iran unrest intensifies "The republic’s supreme leader has plotted an exit route out of Tehran should his forces fail to quell dissent, an intelligence report reveals." IIRC the original Ayatollah, Khomeini, returned to Iran from exile in France when the Shah was deposed. Let that be a lesson.

Sundance thinks it's Interesting Timing – Zelenskyy Planning to Remove Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, "considering the recent denial by Zelenskyy that Ukraine had anything to do with the attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s residence."

Althouse is aghast when Elon Musk laughs at a prison rape joke. "Shameful." Elon has a teenager's sense of humor, but he's a fucking genius. Just live with it. Also, "'Gossip shows talk about her every day, about her outfits, about her stylist, about her appearances,' he said, a reference to Ms. Guilfoyle’s embrace of the Trump style for women..." ""... Rapunzel hair, false eyelashes, plumped lips, figure-hugging sheath dresses and high heels. 'In terms of public relations, she has done an excellent job,” [the Greek commenter said]. But the 'submissiveness' of so many Greeks lining up to meet her, he said, 'makes us look like a Third World country.' Mr. Georgiadis, the health minister, shrugged off the buzz. 'When she was first named, the people were, "What’s that?"' he said. But the early energy deals, he said, have proved that she has substance. 'If she delivers,' he said, 'who cares if she has a see-through dress?'..." From "Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, the Talk of Athens/The former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., and the former wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom, is working hard and pushing deals with American business interests. She’s also up late at parties" (NYT)." Also, best ever occupant of the "leg seat" on 'The Five'.

From the Manhattan Contrarian, Mayor Mamdani: Can You Feel The Excitement? "For myself, not so much. The best I can say is that this too shall pass. Hopefully without too much destruction in the meantime, but we have no assurance of that." Francis Sempka at Am Spec, The ‘Warmth of Collectivism’ Comes to New York "Zohran Mamdani and the totalitarian temptation." Herr Professor Jacobson at LI, Kulaks Beware: Mamdani Orders Public Hearings To Shame “Ripoff” NYC Landlords "We have seen this movie before. Mamdani has identified a class of property owners supposedly ripping off the masses, and now he is targeting them. In the Soviet days they were called Kulaks. In NYC under Mamdani, landlords are the new Kulaks." Amy Curtis at TownHall, 'Straight-Up Tyranny:' NYC Councilwoman Sounds Alarm Over Mamdani's Threat to Landlords. Althouse, "I think the reality is that for centuries we really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good and..." "... in transitioning into treating it as a collective good and towards the model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently, and it will mean that families — especially white families, but some POC families as well — are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have.” . . . "See also "Zohran Mamdani’s new NYC tenant advocate called to ‘seize private property,’ blasted home ownership as ‘white supremacy’" (NY Post). Excerpt: "Cea Weaver, Mamdani’s new director of the city Office to Protect Tenants, made the statements and urged her followers to elect more communists in several lecturing posts on her now-deleted X account that were unearthed by internet sleuths. 'Seize private property!' she said on June 13, 2018.... 'Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy,' she said [in August 2019]."" Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "NYC subway and bus fare hikes took effect today. What happened to the free buses that Mamdani promised and campaigned on?!"

Fox 9, Gov. Walz likely to drop out of 2026 MN governor's race: Report. He did.

WaPo Delivers a Nothingburger on ICE ‘At-Large’ Arrests. "The failure to mention sanctuaries is like a review of Star Wars that fails to discuss Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, or the Force."

The I&I ed board asserts Politico Should Fire Josh Gerstein. "Instead of expressing outrage that fraudsters were stealing massive amounts of money meant to support poor families – and his colleagues in the mainstream press got scooped by a kid – Gerstein issued a veiled threat to people like Shirley. “At some point,” he posted  on X, “the amateur effort to knock on doors of home daycares intersects with robust stand-your-ground laws.”"
