THIS IS TRUE BUT I DON’T THINK IT WILL WORK OUT FOR THEM AS PLANNED: Democrats Will Sacrifice America to Win a Presidency.

A PHOTO PUTIN DOESN’T WANT TO SEE, BUT DESERVES TO SEE 24/7: A USAF B1-B flies over Sweden accompanied by four Swedish Armed Forces JAS 39 Gripen fighters. The bomber was flying a long-range, long-duration Bomber Task Force mission. Photo taken May 20, 2020. Since the Kremlin’s Crimea invasion and annexation, Swedish forces have openly participated in several multilateral NATO military exercises and in bilateral military exercises with the U.S. and other Western nations.

“IMPROVED?”: The New and Improved Tomahawk Missile Now Runs on Corn. “The new fuel blend uses feedstocks instead of petroleum in an effort to limit the military’s dependence on fossil fuels.”

The whole planet, particularly this country, is practically awash in fossil fuels.

MY FRIEND LIZ MCCULLOUGH IS CAMPAIGNING TO BE A MAXIM COVER GIRL. Her dad’s a former Navy SEAL and a very cool guy; she’s done a lot of work with wounded veterans. You can support her here. I’d appreciate it if you did. (Bumped).

WELL, I NEVER! Liberal Media Scream: Media bigs tell Kayleigh McEnany don’t you dare challenge us.

That they’re screaming so much — and that they’re getting support from disgraceful NeverTrumpers — is proof that she’s doing them real harm. If it were bad for Trump, they’d be encouraging it. Personally, I think spoiled, ignorant children should be treated as such. Unless it’s an unpleasant experience to be spoiled and ignorant, they’ll never change.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Faculty Cuts Begin, With Warnings Of More To Come.

It’s hard not to think that some of the left’s interest in shutting down the economy comes from a desire to hurt Trump, but once again the torpedoes seem to be circling back around.

ENDORSED: Bring Back a True Gunboat. “The Navy’s problem remains its obsession with blue-water ships and big-budget contracts instead of stepping back and rationally thinking about what is actually needed to fulfill requirements at a cost-effective level in terms of construction, use, and the risk of combat losses. The enemy of ‘good enough’ is the desire for perfection and there is no reason to spend time and money reinventing the wheel when a proven gunboat design already exists that is good enough for the Navy’s littoral combat needs. A modern version of the Fairmile D motor torpedo boat—the famous Dog Boats of the Royal Navy’s coastal forces in World War II—is what the U.S. Navy needs today.”

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Is It Time For A Big Fleet of Small Ships?

CAYMAN: No Government Pay Cuts Planned. “Premier Alden McLaughlin has said Cayman is not considering following the moves of Bermudian legislators who are set to take a 12.5% salary cut and slash civil servants’ pay by 10% to help address the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bermuda is the first British Overseas Territory to look at taking pay cuts due to the economic hardship caused by the coronavirus crisis.”

YOU WENT FULL KAREN, KARYN. NEVER GO FULL KAREN, KARYN. Massachusetts Lt. Governor Karyn Polito Hosts Dozens Of Friends At $1.5 Million Lakefront Shrewsbury Mansion Despite Social Distancing And Mask Orders. “Lt. Governor Karyn Polito recently reminded Massachusetts residents that they should stay at home unless they need to go out to pick up “essentials,” and urged citizens to adhere to social distancing guidelines. Likewise, Governor Charlie Baker on Friday urged people not to get together in groups for barbecues this memorial day weekend. However, it appears as if Polito is not heeding her own advice. Sources are reporting to TB Daily News that the Lt. Governor had a party at her $1.5 million home in Shrewsbury on Saturday. According to the source there were over a dozen cars parked at the lakefront property at 2 Tatassit Circle at one point.”

Rules are for the little people.

It’s pretty easy to cut up a whole chicken, too. When I was in high school my “family living” class — which also taught stuff like how to make a budget and plan meals and change a tire and a diaper — taught us how to cut up a whole chicken. But it’s easy to figure out if you don’t know, or there are plenty of online videos.
