THIS IS A GREAT IDEA:
BREAKING: A second GRANITE Act-style censorship shield, the HOMEFRONT Act, has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by @WarrenDavidson.
It would allow foreign censors to be sued, for attorney's fees and damages, in U.S. courts.

From the linked article: “Between the two bills, Rep. Davidson’s bill is the more detailed and the more aggressive. Its private cause of action – its ‘sword’ – includes damages language and would, if enacted, have greater deterrent effect than a declaration-only bill. Much of what Rulli’s bill implies is, in Davidson’s proposal, made express.”
Having nearly outlawed innovation, the EU now squeezes American tech firms for all they can, while trying to muzzle Americans’ free speech.
Time to put the squeeze on Brussels until they stop.

For 50+ years society has rewarded women for being kooky, and sheltered them from the consequences. That has had consequences for society.

DON’T TRUST CHINA… YOU KNOW THE REST: China’s $5.6 Million AI Miracle Just Got a Lot Less Miraculous. “For nearly two years, DeepSeek’s $5.6 million number has helped sell one of the most dazzling stories in artificial intelligence. The Chinese company appeared to have built a frontier-level model for a fraction of what American firms were spending. A new federal cybersecurity advisory says the bargain came with a rather large missing bill.”

LAWRENCE KUDLOW: The Boom They Never Saw Coming.
Secretary [Bessent] pointed out that President Biden’s big government socialism has been restructured since Mr. Trump took office, nearly 400,000 government jobs have been eliminated, while more than 900,000 private jobs have been added. This is part of the economic boom story.
What’s more, we tried big government socialism under Biden, and it produced a 21 percent cumulative inflation rate. And to a large extent, we are still suffering the hangover from that inflation even today.
I asked Mr. Bessent about how “we’re seeing free enterprise move through this hemisphere. Very interesting. A lot of overturning of the left and socialism moving back towards free market economics.”
The headline employments figures haven’t looked great, largely because under Trump, we’re shedding government jobs at almost half the rate we’re gaining private-sector jobs.
But the latter are productive while the former… not so much.

Previously: The Lindsay Clancy Trial Set Women Back Decades. “A significant number of liberal women have at least one diagnosed mental illness. Having such diagnoses can, and should, limit the types of employment you can have. We don’t want someone who is mentally unstable being a surgeon or working with children, for example. But let’s just think through the logical implications of what the defense and Lindsay’s supporters are arguing here.”
And that was before certain female jurors went public.

END OF AN ERROR: Report: ABC Finally Pulling the Plug on Jimmy Kimmel’s Garbage Show.
GOOD NAME: The Air Force Wants to Retire the A-10. The ‘BRRRRT Act’ Would Keep 126 Flying.
The name stands for the Bolstering Recognition, Resurgence, Retention, and Remembrance of the Thunderbolt Act. It also imitates the unmistakable noise produced when the A-10 fires its 30 mm cannon.
…
The proposal would require the Air Force to retain at least 126 A-10s in its total inventory beginning in fiscal 2027 and maintain enough aircraft, units, pilots, testing and support to keep the fleet viable through fiscal 2033.It would also give the service 90 days after enactment to explain how it would restore depot maintenance, pilot training, weapons instruction, flight testing and other support programs previously reduced in anticipation of retirement.
The bill would prevent additional retirements until the defense secretary certifies that an aircraft or combination of systems has entered service, become fully operational, and can perform the A-10’s missions.
They’re old airframes, getting more expensive to fly and maintain, and probably not survivable against even a near-peer rival. But as we saw earlier this year, they haven’t run out of missions.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: The Kids Are Fine — Old Commie Hippies Are the Real Problem. “Young people value authenticity. The elders of the Democratic Party village are all B.S. and artifice, which doesn’t go over well with Gen Z. When President Trump shows up to speak in public, everyone knows he’s not putting on an act. He says what’s on his mind, rather than what he thinks a politician should say. The stuff that makes the older ‘Harumph!’ Republicans uneasy makes younger voters cheer louder.”
OUCH: Third biggest taxpayer flees Britain in huge Labour blow as John Healey promises ‘growth.’
Chris Rokos, who reportedly paid £477 million in tax last year alone, will head to Greece which has far more friendly tax laws for the super-rich.
The news comes on the same day that the Labour Chancellor John Healey announced he wanted to see the country’s economy growing more.
Mr Rokos, 55, is worth an estimated £2.3bn and runs a hedge fund looking after more than £22bn in the UK.
Conservative Shadow Chancellor of Exchequer, Andrew Griffith MP said: “Chris Rokos is Britain’s third-highest taxpayer.
“He has made huge contributions to charities and educational causes across our country. Yet another wealth and job creator leaving Britain is bad news for all of us.
“Whatever your personal finances, wealth creators leaving the UK means fewer opportunities for young people and leaves the rest of us paying more.
Meanwhile: Options for UK finance minister Healey to tax wealth in October’s budget.
I can think of £2.3bn Healey won’t have around to tax.

From the linked article: “Our legacy regulations have applied basically anytime somebody builds a tower. And people have been trying to argue that they now apply to these huge constellations that are being launched by SpaceX, Amazon, and others,” a senior FCC official who requested anonymity told Pirate Wires. “They want to trap that entire economy under multi-year environmental review.”
All that should end later this month.
