“You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is requiring all food stamp recipients to reapply for their benefits, in an effort to discover and weed out fraud. The usual suspects are already whining about starving children.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency promulgated a rule revising Obama and China Joe Administrations’ regulations which greatly expanded the definition of “waters of the United States”. The EPA regulates “waters of the United States”, which under Obama and China Joe included puddles in your backyard after a light rain. It was ridiculous overreach that the Trump Administration is thankfully correcting.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, a U.S. citizen drove a large van purposefully into an ICE vehicle where agents were conducting an operation. The man driving the van fled the scene, but was quickly apprehended by law enforcement. An ICE agent was injured in the assault.
Other ICE operations in North Carolina have been met with mobs of protesters, disrupting arrests, and screaming profanities at ICE agents. Sad.
Charlotte, North Carolina has a population of 900,000. Of that figure, 150,000 are foreign born. Also, sad. Very, very sad.
Elected Democrats in Wisconsin are holding training seminars to teach residents how to disrupt ICE operations in the State. Unbelievable. Very, very, very sad. And just un-American. This is not “free speech”. This is unlawful behavior being taught and encouraged.
Hassaan Chaudhary, who is Comrade Mamdani’s newly appointed political director for his mayoral transition and inaugural committee, used the word “Jew” as a slur, and even praised former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who infamously said Israel is “a cancer which will be eliminated soon.” Mr. Chaudhary, who was the director of Muslim engagement for Comrade Mamdani’s campaign, also described Israel as a “bloody country” and a “barbaric nation”. Lovely. Just lovely.
Lincoln, Nebraska is the most affordable city in which to buy a cheeseburger, fries, and drink, according to the nation’s Cheeseburger Index (apparently there is such a thing). Other affordable cheeseburger meal cities include Tucson, Arizona, Aurora, Colorado, Dallas, Texas, Austin, Texas, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The most expensive city to buy a cheeseburger meal? Anchorage, Alaska, where the average price for a cheeseburger meal is North of $25.00.
The University of San Diego revealed that 1 in 8 California public school graduates, admitted to college, cannot do basic math. As in elementary to middle school level math. That is a sad statistic, and raises questions about how they graduated from high school. But a better question is, how did these people get admitted to college?
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey (D.) appointed Giselle Byrd to the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women. Giselle Byrd is a “trans” woman. In other words Giselle Byrd is a man pretending to be a woman. Sigh.
Researchers have released a study advising parents to secure their infant child’s “consent” prior to changing their diaper. This is the dumbest . . . do people get paid to come up with this horse hockey?
Kim Kardashian is very upset that the failed the California Bar Exam. Maybe she should not have cheated by using ChatGBT on her law school exams.
There is hope for Miss Kardashian. She has only failed the California Bar Exam once. Commiela failed the California Bar Exam 3 times.
Hamas announced it was willing to negotiate the 2nd phase of the Gaza peace plan. Which is a problem, since Hamas already agreed to the entire peace plan. There is nothing to negotiate.
Hamas has yet to fully comply with the peace plan’s phase 1. Hamas is not going to comply. Hamas was never going to apply. Hamas is merely biding time in order to resupply and reorganize. Israel should be allowed to obliterate Hamas, without any interference by outside countries.
SMU is the ACC men’s soccer champion! The Mustangs beat UVA in the championship game.
Thank you for reading. I wish you an outstanding day. And in the words of my former client, the world’s greatest boxer, Muhammed Ali, “Don’t count the days, make the days count.”
