Muslims and immigrants, despite all the lies we're told about them, have never presented a systemic threat to Western security, let alone to "Western civilisation". Instead, the threats come from our governments, especially in the US, and their grim alliances with capital and overseas dictators.

Lindsey Graham was awful, but he gave us this: "If you killed Ted on the Senate floor, and the Senate was the jury, nobody could convict you.โ€

Ilhan Omarโ€™s home was raided today, weeks after border czar Tom Homan cited an โ€œongoing criminal investigation.โ€ It reportedly involves immigration paperwork when she was a child. There is NOT an ongoing investigation of Homan taking $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting because Trump killed that probe.

Today I drove from the southeast corner of Indiana to its northwest corner, returning from a conference in Florence, IN. There were NO visible signs of support for Trump AT ALL as I drove the rural highways/byways to get home to my Democrat county. This is BIG, what with midterms four weeks away!

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

Elizabeth Warren is a fighter. I volunteered for her during her presidential run. She is smart as a whip, and always fighting for the consumer. It will be interesting to see what happens now.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

This NY Times story is largely a summary of Trumpโ€™s anti-free-speech moves. But thereโ€™s an interesting nugget: Trumpโ€™s access ban against the Associated Press had a motive beyond the โ€œGulf of Americaโ€ dispute. Trump wanted AP to give him rights to that photo of him after the Butler, PA, shooting.
