English left yesterday for South Carolina, in order to visit with Gram and Rufe. She left me with a very grumpy basset hound. All these years, and I still do not understand why it is my fault that English is not at home.
Dudley got a little pot roast with his dinner last night. And that was after his nightly treat of some Hub’s peanuts. You might think that that endeared me to him. Nope. He ate it, and then went to pout in one of the bedrooms. Ungrateful cur.
I would love to go to South Carolina. But someone has to take care of Dudley. I refuse to put him in a kennel, because that would make him miserable. It might kill him. And despite his petulant, stubborn behavior, I love him very much.
Navy Secretary John Phelan was fired. It appears that former Navy diver, retired Captain and Undersecretary of the Navy Hung Cao will be his replacement.
The United States Department of Justice indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on criminal charges related to wire fraud. In essence, the SPLC was funding the very “hate” it claimed to fight against. For example, the SPLC was instrumental in funding the Neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, Virginia, where 1 young woman was murdered, and upon which China Joe claims he was inspired to run for President. The SPLC has also contributed monies to the Ku Klux Klan. All this while denouncing these groups, and fundraising off the need to defeat these groups. Sigh. It makes one wonder what the Left would do if it did not have “hate” to oppose. If everybody just got along, would the Left fade away?
The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that California’s laws attempting to regulate how ICE agents conducted their operations (for example, wearing masks), was unconstitutional. As predicted.
Virginia Democrats can look forward to their stupid attempted regulation of ICE to meet a similar fate. So can New Jersey Democrats.
“I do not believe that Mayor Brandon Johnson is doing enough to tamper down these activities. What we have seen is Chicago has now become a destination location for illegal street takeovers like this where hundreds of youth are encouraged to descend on a location, and whether it’s to do mob action, regardless of if he likes the term or not, illegal street takeovers with our vehicles or other activities that are criminal, people know to come here. They know they can get away with it, and they know that oftentimes our police are handcuffed themselves from stopping and interceding at these events.”
–Chicago, Illinois Alderman Raymond Lopez (D.).
Downtown Chicago is inundated weekly with mobs of violent teens that take over the street, commit violence against locals and local businesses. And Mayor Johnson (D.) will do nothing about it.
Illinois Democrats are seeking to amend the State Constitution in order to require legislative districts to be drawn with racial considerations. Hmmm. Redistricting based on race. Sounds racist to me.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D. Ca.) directed public funding to a non-governmental organization who brought in illegal aliens suffering from AIDS. Now on what planet is that a good idea?
The California State government is considering whether to use taxpayer dollars to provide illegal aliens with attorneys to contest deportations. Huh. I am actually shocked that California does not already do this.
At UCLA Law School, the student chapter of The Federalist Society invited the U.S. Department of Homeland Security General Counsel to speak. Predictably, Leftists could not abide the fact that someone with whom they disagreed would be allowed to speak at a small student gathering. So naturally these Leftists disrupted the speech, threatening violence, calling the speaker and the attendees vile and profane names, and making general horses’ asses of themselves. Just another day in the life of those who are always claiming that the Trump Administration is an authoritarian regime threatening our civil liberties. You know, like the freedoms of speech, assembly, and association.
Anheuser-Busch is committed to investing an additional $600 million in American manufacturing over the next 2 years. Sadly, I do not care for Budweiser. But a lot of Americans do, and this should make them very happy. WINNING!
Major League Baseball’s San Diego Padres were sold for $3.9 billion. That is a lot of peanuts and Cracker Jack.
The United States Navy seized yet another tanker carrying sanctioned Iranian oil. This seizure occurred in the Indian Ocean. WINNING!
The New York Mets are the worst team in baseball. They have spent millions upon millions of dollars, and have nothing to show for it. Interestingly, the Mets’ most recent 12 game losing streak began when Comrade Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D. N.Y.) visited Citi Field, and was photographed hugging the Mets mascot. Socialism strikes again! It makes everyone miserable!
