Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- What if the TLAM was combat ineffective tomorrow? Can't help but think of how the lessons of the Civil War were not learned y those who fought WW I.

- Glenn Greenwald: The tendency of AOC and her allies to giggle away the "craziness" of  Woke-era abuses should not be tolerated. At long last AOC have you no sense of decency?

- Job numbers are weak, but the labor market doom is overdone.

Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Todd Blanche officially became the new Attorney General after narrowly being voted in 50-49. What does it matter who is the AG though if no charges ever seem to be brought though? Russia Hoax, Jeffrey Epstein's clients - hell even a bag full of cocaine in the White House - all with no charges. It can be depressing and more reason why many turn to sports or other pursuits instead.

Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have become convinced that some in blue states have truly convinced themselves that the "state of politics they find themselves in" is somehow Donald Trump's fault. Not kidding. These usually levelheaded people have somehow deluded themselves into thinking that it's not the fault of the people they keep electing but that Orange Man bad.

- The Save Act requiring voter ID in federal elections failed. The vote was along party lines 52-48 but 60 votes were needed. Even if it passes now it will not be in effect in tome for the 2026 election.

Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

The Senate failed to pass the Save Act requiring voter ID even though it nominally passed along strict party lines 52-48. All the Yea's were Republican and all the No's were Democrats. For some reason 60-votes were needed. Not sure if this is what they intended but they are turning many people into single issue voters.

Saturday Flotsam and Jetsam

The Conservatives seem intent on living up to the idea of just "conserving" the way things currently are. Meanwhile those on the Left seem determined to change anything they can touch usually to whatever the latest fad happens to be which today seems to be Socialism. It' all very disheartening.

The Protect College Sports Act has passed cloture and may be voted on this week. What does it say about our society that this is what many average Americans are most concerned with? Perhaps this is a function of the time of year with so little sports actually on TV.
