Flotsam and Jetsam - Fauci Takes the Stand and the 5th

It's on C-Span now. Rand Paul is setting the stage. Leslie Eastman at LI, Sen. Rand Paul Releases Document Trove Detailing Pre-Pandemic Biosecurity Breaches. "New document release shows Customs and Border Patrol intercepted undeclared biological materials tied to this network of American and Chinese coronavirus researchers in 2018, and the FBI stopped the agency from intercepting a key covid researcher in 2021." Rand Paul @RandPaul, "If Anthony Fauci comes before my committee tomorrow and perjures himself, his preemptive pardon from Joe Biden will not protect him." Quote Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh, " JUST IN: Sec. RFK Jr. just said Dr. Fauci can be prosecuted on PERJURY — DESPITE the pardon — if he lies in front of Rand Paul's committee this week "He has immunity against all of the things that he did prior to President Biden signing or the electronic pen signing his pardon, but he could perjure himself now. There are many things that he said that we know are lies, and @RandPaul presumably is going to ask him about those things." "And if he lies again, then he could be subject to perjury prosecution." Fauci has not faced a SINGLE ounce of credibility. We need it, badly!" At PJM, Stephen Kruiser notes it Turns Out Fauci Is an Even Bigger Donkey's Derrière Than We Thought and Sarah Anderson thinks Anthony Fauci Just Handed Marco Rubio One Heck of a Campaign Ad. NYPo's Divine Miranda Devine: Anthony Fauci was the ‘big head’ of COVID response. Matt Vespa at TownHall, This Fauci Diary Entry Will Cause Your Blood to Boil. Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_, "NEW: Dr. Fauci writes in his diary that in June 2021, he received a (classified?) briefing from the CIA on the origins of COVID-19 while in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) at NIH, and reveals that the CIA told him they had intercepted Chinese communications in Wuhan, including indications that the Chinese had transferred pangolin viruses from Beijing to Wuhan. Additionally, Fauci writes that the CIA had information from sources that the Chinese military had conducted unknown experiments in Wuhan, and that the CIA had information about a "super spreader" event in China in July 2020 in relation to "passage of a virus in a laboratory." Fauci writes that the CIA briefer, who he names, was "almost pathetic in her naivety and obvious lack of appreciation of any of the science of what she was talking about."" Liz Wheeler @Liz_Wheeler, "We were… right. - Social distancing was a hoax - Masks were a joke - Lockdowns were worthless - mRNA jabs were dangerous - Case fatality rate was low - Ivermectin worked - Hydroxychloroquine also worked - Remdesivir was a killer - COVID came from the Wuhan lab - Fauci funded it Fauci lied about it all. Fauci lied to profit himself. Fauci abused YOU to bolster his ego, money, and power. Put the despicable villain in prison." Elaine @elbh, "Fauci broke our societal trust in ways we will never regain. As confidence was lagging anyway, he caused the collapse. Science. Journalism. Government. Hollywood. Culture. Economics. Law Enforcement. Judicial System. Our fellow Americans. All of it. It will not return in our lifetime."

Dave Strom at Hat Hair, Pravda Totally Buries Fauci Diary Revelations. Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee, "Hats off to @bariweiss and CBS This is news And yet it doesn’t read like it was sanitized by the DNC." Quote CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil @CBSEveningNews, "Diary entries by Dr. Anthony Fauci are shedding light on his soaring notoriety during the COVID epidemic. The documents, released by Republican Sen. Rand Paul, include Fauci's reflections about being invited to a-list parties, but also some uncertainty about the origin of COVID." Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke, "Perhaps surprisingly, both the New York Times and the Washington Post have now published articles on the Fauci diaries. Unsurprisingly, both are complete whitewashes. They sanitize his record and reduce the criticism to the suggestion that he may have been a little too narcissistic. Neither outlet confronts the diaries’ central revelation, which is that Fauci repeatedly said one thing in private and another in public..." Matt Vespa, Why a Former FDA Official Got Very Uncomfortable During This Interview on CNBC. Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald, "It was well-demonstrated that US and EU elites who imposed strict lockdowns during COVID deemed themselves fully exempt. Countless examples, including Gavin Newsom having a nice maskless dinner with lobbyists, and Pelosi in the hair salon. But @JakeTapper should explain this:" Quote a newsman @a_newsman, "Jul 27Has Jake Tapper addressed why he was having Anthony Fauci over for dinner while husbands and wives of seventy five years were saying goodbye to each other over zoom?" At Althouse, "[His diary] paints a portrait of Dr. Fauci as obsessed with himself, reveling in his own importance and the celebrities he knows..."

From Ace, Revealed: Five Months After Fauci Got Vaccinated, He Suffered a Pulmonary Infarction, an Adverse Effect Associated With the "Vaccine." He Kept This a Secret. "Anthony Fauci is Science, you know. He suffered the exact kind of adverse effect millions of other people were experiencing. Rather than reporting this, he kept it secret from the public." Mike Davis @mrddmia, "Of course, Trump was right. And undermined constantly by government bureaucrats who worked for him." Quote CNN Politics @CNNPolitics, "President Trump contradicts the US intel community by claiming he's seen evidence that the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab https://cnn.it/3d7KSuC."

Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "I had a dream last night that Michael Crichton was still alive and he wrote a book called “Two Weeks to Stop the Spread.” The book’s main character was a megalomaniacal, narcissistic senior US health official who was using NIH funds to work with China to engineer a virus designed to wipe out the world’s elderly and infirm populations, thereby decreasing the public health and expense burden foisted on younger generations...."

Fauci just took the 5th, after an opening statement blasting Rand Paul. Now, Rand Paul reminded him he was unconditionally pardoned by Biden, and therefore the 5th amendment doesn't apply, but Fauci is sticking to it.

Picture of the Day: “Hegseth”

Sundance at CTH hosts President Donald J Trump Attends Memorial Service for Senator Lindsey Graham. At Althouse, Trump at the funeral. Aaron Rupar @atrupar, "Trump takes issue with the Lindsey Graham eulogy he's reading: "Virtually everyone liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody. But it sounds good. I have to be honest. I have to veer from this for a second."" And hosts Kaitlyn Collins talking to Jon Stewart about Trump, "There are times when I watch him, and I think to myself, this can't be real. Like, this can't be America. America. You've heard of us. We're great...."

Ben Whedon at JTN sees Thune pours cold water on canceling recess to pass SAVE America Act. "Trump on Monday called for Thune to cancel recess to pass the bill, but Thune said nothing had changed." From the Victory Girls, John Thune: Pass The SAVE America Act Already. Sadly, even if they busted the filibuster, I don't think they have the votes, thanks to Sen. Murkowski, Collins and Paul. From Ace, Mitch McConnell Released from Hospital, But Still Not "Medically Cleared" to Do His Job; Democrat Governor Andy Beshear Demands He Return to Senate or Resign. "It was so important to McConnell to remain in office forever. Even after he'd been kicked out of the leadership position due to his opposition to most mainstream Republicans."

Dave Strom at Hat Hair wonders Is Socialism Really Gaining Steam, or Are Socialists Just Gaming the System Better? Da Wire, Mamdani Just Handed The Internet Thousands Of Names And Addresses. "The Department of Finance uploaded a searchable database including the addresses and names of property owners." Jack Posobiec @JackPosobiec, "Anyone who has read the history of communism knows what step comes after naming the enemy land owners." Quote Bernadette Hogan @bern_hogan, "The city published a list of all properties -- and the names of the owners -- that *could be* subject to the new pied a terre tax in a very easy to search Excel sheet:" VodkaPundit at PJM, NYC: Begun, the Class War Has. Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson, "Last week, my mom got a "pied-a-terre" tax notice. She has lived full-time in her townhouse FOR 30 YEARS (she and my dad bought it for under $1 million). She has no other residence. Is NYC not bothering with basic checking of its own tax lists? She's 81 and has three weeks to get her name off the list or she owes $56,000. (Yes, I said I'd help.) Thanks, Zohran Kwame." Ace notes Mamdani Publishes Names of Property Owners Whose Estates Will be Confiscated, "The list of properties to be hit with a huge tax penalty, large enough so that the owners will mostly be forced to sell, turns out to be a bigger list than the laughing boy socialist demon had promised."

John Sexton asserts The DNC Is a Broke, Phone-Throwing Mess With a Kamala Harris Hangover. Cathy Salgado at PJM reveals Nebraska Dem’s Hot Mic Revelation: A Dem Plan Boosting ‘Independent’ Senate Candidate.

Vic Nava at NYPo reports a Confused Biden admitted he discovered classified materials ‘downstairs’ in bumbling chat with ghostwriter: ‘So many pauses and ums’. Beege Welborn at Hat Hair says Just Like POTATUS' Brain, Biden Tapes Have Big Holes Where Ghostwriter Did Some Erasing. Ace highlights that the Zwonitizer Tapes Demonstrate Biden's Serious Cognitive Decline; Massive Amount of NSA/CIA Redactions Show Biden Sharing Tons of Classified Information with a Civilian. "I don't think the tapes have been released yet to the public, but the Oversight Project has heard them and is releasing information about them."

Ruby Rippey

From Althouse, "One afternoon he brings matzo ball soup from Max’s deli, my favorite. Another time, a mixtape." "Writes Ruby Rippey, in "How I Blew Up—Then Rebuilt—My Life/When news of her affair with Gavin Newsom exploded into the public eye, it was only the outward mark of a long-rippling private implosion. In the wreckage of the scandal, Ruby Rippey faced her demons but lost her voice. Twenty years later, she is ready to share her story" (Vanity Fair). Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt, "Residents in the Palisades put up Mad Max barricades because construction site theft is so rampant since Karen Bass directed LAPD to remove police patrols from the neighborhood. As if the fire victims haven't dealt with enough...the vile communist is punishing us further." From Reason, California's War on Goats Could Worsen the Wildfire Crisis "Standard minimum wage and overtime laws now apply to the state's goat herders, whose animals clear brush and reduce fire danger. The costs are unsustainable." 

Jeffrey Rosen takes on Birthright Citizenship and Presidential Removal: A Historical Deep Dive. Kyla Becker at RedState sees a Rogue Judge Finally Gets an Act Named After Him - What It Does Is Hilarious. "Schmitt is calling it the BOASBERG Act. It stands for the Blocking Overt Attempts at Shopping By Enforcing Randomization Guidelines Act. ... Fox News Politics @foxnewspolitics, "BOASBERG ACT: Sen. Eric Schmitt introduces legislation named after the federal judge who has repeatedly clashed with the Trump administration — designed to end judge shopping in federal courts by requiring random case assignment. The bill would prohibit chief judges from influencing which cases they oversee, require public disclosure of assignment practices, and create penalties for anyone who meddles with the process. Courts would have 120 days to comply. Schmitt called Judge James Boasberg "the poster child for a rogue judge" who "exposed serious loopholes in our judicial system." Boasberg, an Obama appointee, has blocked Trump's deportation efforts, halted visa restrictions, and landed the Signalgate case — drawing impeachment calls from Trump and a misconduct complaint from the Justice Department."

Sundance reports on his final day, Acting DNI Bill Pulte Notes an Additional 30 Percent Staff Reduction. CNBC, Senate confirms Jay Clayton as Trump's director of national intelligence, replacing Pulte.

Stacy McCain sees ‘Suburban Teens’ Make Headlines. "In addition to Vanessa Morales, whose father doesn’t speak English, the other “suburban teens” killed in the crash were identified as Cristofer Lopez Montan, 19, and Yuarem Garcia-Pena, 18, both of Woodstock, and Yaritza Martinez Villeda, 17, of Crystal Lake. So these kids weren’t exactly the cast of Sixteen Candles or Pretty in Pink. On the one hand you can understand that, on those rare occasions when the perpetrators of crime in Chicago aren’t “urban youth,” the local media are eager to convey the message that it wasn’t the usual suspects this time."

From CIS, DOJ: Fifth Circuit ‘Rules Illegal Aliens Do Not Have a Constitutional Right to Roam Free.’ "Did four immigration judges in Tacoma know they would trigger a legal firestorm and likely SCOTUS review?" Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84, "Just a psa: You came here screaming “they’ll kill me if I go back!” Ok. You can stay and seek asylum. The asylum ends the second you send cash back, wave their flag, or book a vacation to the “death trap”you escaped. Pick a lane. We’re not running a hotel for frauds."

Dave Strom realizes DEI Requires 'Good' People to Lie. Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes, "This should horrify every American A man tries to walk through Minneapolis with an American Flag He immediately gets harassed, threatened with physical violence. Shortly after a car pulls up quickly and a man gets out to rush him to cause harm. He has to run and yell he’s calling the cops The American can’t even sit in his car without worried about being assaulted “This sh*t hurts my heart, man. ..." Lisa Britton @LisaBritton, "One minute we’re being told air conditioning is sexist towards women. The next we’re being told women are the true victims of heat waves. It just never ends!"

Gina Milan @ginamilan_, "Can someone explain this to me like I’m five? Trump compared Kaitlan Collins to Dylan Mulvaney and the media is losing its mind calling it an “attack.” But wait… don’t they constantly tell us that trans women are beautiful? That they’re real women? That we should celebrate them? So why is comparing a woman to a trans woman suddenly an insult? Wouldn’t that be a compliment in their world? I’m genuinely confused."

RedState's Nick Arama hears Mike Waltz Reveals Why Iran's Regime Is in Even Deeper Trouble "President Donald Trump announced that they were going to use any of the Iranian regime money they could lay their hands on to pay off any damage that Iran was causing, such as with shipping. And they've been going after Iran's money big time, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has explained, even tracking down Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's "money man," and freezing regime-related accounts. Bessent said they were preserving that money for "the American people." Bessent explained how they've been tracking accounts all over the world, and now they've also frozen a crypto wallet containing about $130 million linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)." Trump and Bessent understand money can be a weapon.

Rand Paul, R-Ky., has released another batch of documents related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Robby Soave @robbysoave, "Privately, in his diaries, Doctor Fauci admitted he no longer believed the wet market was the origin of covid. A week later, he convenes a call with 12 scientists, and only two of them think it's definitely animal spillover. Publicly, he comes out against lab leak and presses the Proximal Origins paper to find in favor of animal spillover. Seems bad."

Bill Ackman @BillAckman, "It is incredible how far the Democratic Party has moved politically. Just listen to @BarackObama on immigration 20 years ago. @HillaryClinton spoke similarly back then. The question of course is why. The answer I believe is not a change in fundamental views, but rather a tactical one. At some point, the Democratic Party believed it had a higher likelihood of staying in power if our country had open borders. When did this take place? What was the catalyst for this reversal of views?" Quote MAZE @mazemoore "This might be the most amazing one yet. More from Senator Obama on immigration. Obama not only said that illegals must not be allowed to work here, he went one step further and said that employers should be forced to prove that they offered the job to American citizens before they are allowed to hire guest workers. Democrats today would call this racist and xenophobic." Andrew Ireland @AndrewIrelandIN, "The H-1B program is a total scam. Purdue University is hiring a foreigner to help make newsletters and social media posts even though thousands of qualified Americans live within a 30 minute drive of this job.

At his substack Insty sees Trump Seizing the Day "Will Trump invoke the Guarantee Clause to impose election integrity? A prediction." Maybe! "So if President Trump announces that we have uncovered massive electoral fraud — as he almost certainly will — and that he is dispatching huge numbers of federal election watchers to oversee voting and counting in areas where fraud has occurred, he would be acting directly under a power that the Constitution has vested in him. For a state to have a “republican form of government,” it must have meaningful elections, and elections that are rigged are not meaningful. Stopping them from being rigged would be protecting a republican form of government. Congress has passed other election laws, mostly for reasons of combating race discrimination, but those aren’t strictly applicable to these circumstances."

The consumer price index fell by 0.4 percent for the month, the biggest decline since the big dips in March and April of 2020, when the economy was reeling from the pandemic shutdown. Prior to that, you have to go all the way back to January of 2015, when the CPI fell 0.7 percent."

The Manhattan Contrarian contends "Red Scare"? Actually The Communist Resurgence In The Democratic Party Is Very Real. Quotulatiousness doubts the people saying “Communism no longer comes for your property.” Hat Hair's Dave Strom has hopes Is the Socialist Moment Already Over?

And another thing the Media made and unmade Graham Platner, "Just as Donald Trump is a poor person’s idea of a rich person, Candidate Platner is a rich person’s idea of a poor person." Steve Soukup at Am Great looks at Graham Platner and the Rationalization of Everything. "The politicization of everything creates, in the ruling class, a belief in the infallible righteousness of their mission, which, in turn, legitimizes any tactics necessary to take and hold power." Kurt Schlichter at TownHall thinks James Talarico Has Got a Secret. "I don’t know what that blasphemous little imp’s secret is, but he’s got one. Don’t be fooled by that creepy smile on his creepy face; there’s something wrong with James Talarico. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I don’t ever want to see his browser history, and I’d sooner have somebody from The Lincoln Project babysit my kid." PJM's Stephen Kruiser swears Gavin Newsom Really Doesn't Want to Be President. "Everything that Newsom pats himself on the back for is the kind of thing that I truly believe ends up being a disqualifying knock on him with Ma and Pa Dem in the Midwest. He doesn't know that because California is the biggest ideological bubble in the nation." Hat Hair's Dave Strom thinks it's Hilarious: Ro Khanna's Stunt Not Enough for Pro-Hamas Crowd. Peter Savodnik @petersavodnik, "I agree with @jpodhoretz that antisemitism is a bigger problem on the left than the right, and I agree that that's surprising. Just as important is why..." PJM's Scott Pinsker lauds the The Political Castration of Chuck Schumer — and the Rise of GOP Superman Brandon Gill. "Schumer is so hated, his Maine endorsement would guarantee defeat — not by the hands of Republicans, but his fellow Democrats!"

Ace is furious at Jack Smith Who Shredded the Constitution to Spy on Republican Congressmen, Then Repeatedly Lied About It Under Oath. "Congressional speech, including phone calls and text messages, are protected against subpoenas by the Speech and Debate Clause. There is a bullshit way around this. The DOJ will sometimes seize these messages anyway but they first go to a "Filter Team" to make sure that nothing in the messages is protected by the Speech and Debate Clause. If a message falls into that category, it's not passed on to prosecutors. But Jack Smith said "YOLO" and just read all the messages he wanted to read, without any Filter Team clearing them first. And of course, 90% of those he illegally, unconstitutionally spied on were Republican congressmen."

Town Hall's Matt Vespa is outraged, Wait, That’s How Many Messages the Secret Service Missed Regarding Trump's Would-be Assassin at Butler? Breaking911 @Breaking911, "A new inspector general report released two years after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, says the Secret Service missed more than 100 radio transmissions warning about the suspected gunman. The attack killed firefighter Corey Comperatore as he shielded his family and wounded two others. Investigators say communication failures and security lapses represented missed opportunities to stop the shooting." IIRC, the SS wasn't listening to anything the locals put out.

Capt. Ed, Stopping the Stops Stop: Trump Reverses DHS Order. From Ace, Trump: There's No Way I'm Stopping ICE Traffic Stops Just Because the Left Has Fully Embraced Violence As Its "Political Speech" "The stops are back on (if they were ever off)." Matt Margolis at PJM likes how Jesse Watters Schools Jessica Tarlov on the Houston ICE Shooting. WBAL TV, FBI affidavit alleges drugs found in van involved in Houston ICE shooting. Which explains why they tried to run/run over the agent.

Was it worth it?

Mike Miller at RedState, Welcome to America, Eh? Canadian Woman Allegedly Slaps Minor in Trump Gear, Ends Up in ICE Custody. Deport her to Nicaragua just for fun. Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "The husband of Kaitlyn Tracey posted a video CRYING after his Canadian wife was arrested for allegedly assaulting a teen girl wearing Trump-themed attire in NJ. He conveniently leaves out why his wife was arrested… If you’re a foreigner and you come here and assault American citizens, you will be deported!" Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok, "Kaitlyn Tracey's husband has an art poster on his wall featuring small children with the text "1000 Virgins for Satan's Master." What a creep."

Daniel Horowitz @RMConservative, "The end result of social transformation without representation." Quote DR POOL @DRPOOLQ1, "TERRIFYING: It's gotten so bad in Minnesota that police are saying they are SOMALIANS FIRST. He isn't even speaking English."

Bonchie @bonchieredstate, "Matthew Yglesias apparently has no idea how AI works and where it gets its “views” from." Quote Holden @Holden114 "He cannot be this stupid." Oh, I think he can. But, honestly, I'm shocked Google is that neutral.

VodkaPundit at Insty wants you to SAY IT LOUD AND PROUD: "The West Is a Superior Civilization (And I Don’t Care If That Offends You). “The West has experienced wars, harbored atrocious dictatorships, and served as the birthplace of a great many foolish ideas, including the wokism that ravaged civilization in this century. But what has made this civilization great is its ability to recognize those deviations and try to correct them, or at the very least condemn them." From the College Fix, U. Nebraska internal review finds ‘no evidence’ of DEI — experts say it doesn’t add up. Campus Reform reports Education Department portal reveals $72B in foreign funding to US colleges.

Jenn Pellegrino @JennPellegrino, "I can't believe this is real. The Chancellor of UC San Francisco testified under oath that a "vast majority of pregnancies are in women." Implying some pregnancies occur in men. When asked directly whether a non-biological woman has ever had a baby, he refused to answer. This is the head of one of the top medical schools in the country." Capt. Ed, Gallup: Confidence in Academia Craters. UCSF Chief: Hold My Transgender-Friendly Microbrew. Carlo Carrasco, Trump Administration Trashes Biden-Era LGBTQ Foster Care Rule "Remember a few years ago when the administration of failed US President Joe Biden came up with a foster care rule that sought to require children who identify as LGBTQ be placed with families willing to accept them through gender identity?" Sasha Stone @realsashastone, "Also the temptation to make history will be too great." Quote Chris Gore @ThatChrisGore "Eliot Page will get nominated for Best Supporting Actor for The Odyssey. Page plays Sinon, a proxy for Achilles in Hades and the significance of the role begs for awards recognition. #TheOdyssey". 'Eliot' Page used to be Ellen.

Flotsam and Jetsam - Is Something Big Coming?

Rusty Weiss at RedState hints ‘It Doesn’t Get Bigger’: Trump Drops Hint on Thursday’s Yuge Announcement. "“Without free and fair elections, you don’t have a country," he told the press. The President was responding to a reporter's inquiry speculating that the forthcoming announcement would be about "election machines and integrity." Trump confirmed it would address the aforementioned topic, along with a couple of other items." Sundance at CTH, President Trump Says Announcement on Thursday is “Really Big News” About Election Integrity. Clandestine @WarClandestine, "Here we go. Obama’s Chief strategist just spilled the beans, and revealed exactly what it is the traitors are afraid of. They are afraid Trump is going to release evidence of fraud in 2020, which Trump will use to declare a state of emergency, and exercise Executive power to secure the 2026 midterms. They are TERRIFIED of whatever evidence Trump and his Intelligence heads are about to present on Thursday, and they are all desperate to preemptively establish the narrative that the evidence is not real, and that securing our elections is some sort of violation of democracy. PANIC IN DC!" They can only be terrified if they know it exists. Hat Hair's Beege Welborn hears Harmeet Dhillon is on the Midterm Warpath. From Ace, Democrat Senator Elisa Slotkin: If the SAVE Act Is Passed Democrats Will Never Win Another Election In Any State. "Quite an admission." The Drunk Republican @DrunkRepub, "Pretty fucking amazing that the Dems are just admitting that requiring proof of citizenship will cost them elections for years to come and we are all just sitting around like it’s no big deal and letting them get away with it."

Hat Hair's Capt. Ed yells 'Surprise'? Inflation Falls in June As Hormuz Crisis Eased. Sundance consults BLS DATA – Inflation Moderates as Energy Prices Dropped in June.

From the Free Bacon, Trump is Leaving NATO Stronger As Putin Eyes an Attack.

""... which is a harder thing entirely, by asking me what I had done on Christmas...many people said to me afterwards that exchange with Senator Graham was the moment my confirmation was sealed." Said Justice Kagan, testifying today before a House Appropriations subcommittee about the Supreme Court's budget:.." and hosts a John Stewart vid, "Well, I think the president has zoomed through the first 5 stages of grief and gone straight to #6: Fuck that guy." From The World In Crisis, Sign of the Times: Culture Warriors Eagerly Attack Sen. Graham in Death. At Campus Reform, St. Bonaventure professor celebrates Lindsey Graham's death, deletes post less than 12 hours later. "The post was walked back, with an apology, shortly after it was published."

At Da Caller, America’s First ‘Goth Baddie’ Congresswoman? Meet The Unorthodox Conservative Winning Over Unaffiliated Voters "Kelly Dennison, the 27-year-old Republican nominee for Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District, told the Daily Caller that if her campaign accomplishes one thing, she hopes it encourages more members of Generation Z to run for office."

Joe Chalfant at TownHall sees Trump Just Gave a Huge Update on Iran. Don Surber says Trump Strait-ens out Iran, "Iran’s suicidal bombing gave him the excuse to seize the Strait of Hormuz." Capt. Ed, Trump: Ask Not for Whom the Strait Tolls … At the Middle East Monitor, Former Iranian commander says Tehran could target Trump inside the White House. Peel off another layer of leadership. 

Michael Goodwin at NYPo asserts Graham Platner’s scandal-scarred campaign was proof Dems will overlook anything in search for their ‘Everyman’. Frank Salvato at Am Spec, Believe All Women — Unless They’re Inconvenient, "From Biden and Cuomo to Ellison and Swalwell, the Left’s commitment to believing women appears to depend on the politics of the accused." Amy Curtis @RantyAmyCurtis, "Democrats went from “Believe all women” to “Depends on what you define as ‘rape’, really” in record time." Quote End Wokeness @EndWokeness, "Mamdani on why rape is up in NY: "A lot of it is from expanding what counts as rape."

C3 @C_3C_3, "So… Elon Musk: $10 billion private funding. 700 space launches. Gavin Newsom: $16 billion taxpayer paid. 0 miles of train track.

Watch the vid at link. MyNorthwest @Mynorthwest, "OPINION: Washington sees 48% more retail theft than you’d expect from a state our size. That’s the Forbes Advisor analysis that ranked us worst in the country. Worst. Ahead of every other state." Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav, "Brandon Gill is so good at this. Rep. Presley talked about passing an amendment about “equal rights” for men and women. She went SILENT when Rep. Gill simply asked her if the amendment makes clear what a woman even is." Wesley Yang @wesyang, "The silence is a tell. These are not difficult questions. They are only difficult to those who know the answer that is required of them to remain Democrats in good standing is an odious lie that they know to be false and know that they cannot afford to be seen saying aloud because everyone else knows them to be false too."

Sundance has limited sympathy for Supreme Court Requests for Additional Budget for Security Against Threats. "The overall appearance before congress is slightly ironic considering the increase in threats is a direct consequence of court rulings that have opened borders, blocked deportation, stalled law enforcement, granted illegal aliens rights to citizenship and generally undermined our nation’s domestic tranquility." and yet, the threats come from the left!

Dave Strom at Hat Hair says Straight to Jail, Jack Smith, Straight to Jail, after it was revealed his office review the texts of 44 congresscritters in his investigation of President Trump.

The Beeb, ICE told to halt most vehicle stops after pair of fatal shootings. CNN, Trump says ICE should resume traffic stops after his own administration suspended them. In a Larry vid at Hat Hair, All Hell Breaks Loose After ICE Shooting As Democrats Caught Lying Again. Northern Barbarian @xnoesbueno, "At some point were Americans asked, would you like to turn the most prosperous, most secure, freest society humanity has ever known into an oppressive third world shithole? I mean, technically, every two to four years, that's exactly what Americans are being asked. Just not in so many words." Quote Eric Schwalm @Schwalm5132 "So "Little Somalia" in Georgia is about three miles from Stone Mountain....how in the hell did they wind up there of all places? All of this has got to be tied to that underground crap that was going on at the Atlanta Airport about two plus years ago." Politico whines Trump regulators move to curtail lending to undocumented immigrants. "In new guidance, financial regulators said that undocumented immigrants may present an "elevated credit risk."" John Sexton, Mahmoud Khalil Files a Lawsuit Alleging Conspiracy Against Him.

DC_Draino @DC_Draino, "NPR just posted a correction saying Nick Shirley didn’t claim to expose $110,000 in fraud. It was actually $110 million. Pretty big “oops”." Quote Ashley Rindsberg @AshleyRindsberg "That is one hell of a correction by @NPR." I mean, who hasn't lost a few orders of magnitude in a calculation?

VodkaPundit at PJM notices it Turns Out, Big Brother Is Actually a Matronly Euro-Scold.

From the College Fix, Academics persist in being the ’20’ on the ’80-20′ issue of trans women in female sports. Academics jobs depend on their being the 20. NottheBee tells the sad, but hilarious true tale of the Transgender American who regrets fleeing to the Netherlands because all the Muslim migrants want to kill him. From Ace, "Elliot" Page, Who Plays a Great Greek Warrior in Christopher Nolan's Odyssey: Gender Is Just a "Quaint Myth." "If you see this movie, you love Elliot Page.

The high marks by Vaibhav Bhaskar, who is on his way to Duke University to study finance and economics, earned him a new state record, beating out the Sunshine State’s previous top 11.84 grade point average, according to the Palm Beach Post. To keep track of his ambitious milestones, Bhaskar relied on a physical reminder of his objectives. “I have a whiteboard in my room, and I listed five goals on it for my high school career back when I was a sophomore,” Bhaskar told The Post, noting that his top aims were to “become valedictorian” and “break the state GPA record.”"
