EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY, BY WHICH I MEAN THE SAILORS ARE NOW SWIMMING: Russian Navy Confirms Severe Damage to Black Sea Cruiser Moskva, Crew Abandoned Ship. “The Russian Navy’s Black Sea flagship has suffered major damage and the crew has abandoned the ship, state media said late Tuesday in reports following Ukrainian claims of hitting the ship with a missile strike.”

MUCH BIGGER THAN HAMNER-BROWN: ‘Megacomet’ Bernardinelli-Berstein is largest ever seen, Hubble telescope confirms: The icy nucleus stretches about 80 miles (129 kilometers) across. “This comet, being so far from Earth and originating in the farthest-flung reaches of our solar system, is thought to travel on a 3-million-year-long elliptical orbit around the sun. Scientists think that it might travel about half a light-year away from the sun in the farthest parts of its orbit.”

DAVID MAMET: American Occupation.

Gandhi said to the British, you’ve been a guest in our house for too long, it is time for you to leave. He borrowed the line from Oliver Cromwell, and it’s a good one. The left has occupied the high places for too long, promoting dogma even as the occasions for their complaint have decreased (what position is closed to people of color, or women? Inclusion in all levels of the workforce; preference in higher education, a seat in the cockpit, in the Oval Office, in a movie’s cast, or admission to an elite school+? And yet the vehemence of their protests has increased, progressing into blacklisting and even rioting by those claiming to represent “the oppressed.”

Old-time physicians used to speak of the disease “declaring itself.” History teaches that one omnipresent aspect of a coup is acts of reprisal staged by agents provocateurs of the revolutionaries, and blamed on supporters of the legitimate government. It would be a historical anomaly if we were not to see such between now and the midterm elections.

For the disease has declared itself, and we are not now in a culture war, but a nascent coup, with its usual cast of characters. The Bolshevists could have been defeated by a company of soldiers in the suburbs of Moscow, Hitler stopped at Czechoslovakia, and the current horrors confronted at the Minneapolis police station or a meeting of the San Francisco school board. But those tragedies, and our current tragedies, were not just allowed but encouraged to run their course.

Yet I believe there is hope for reason and self-direction.

BIDEN’S DOJ CAVES ON ANTIFA VIOLENCE: There are few details of the settlement terms, but the quotes from both sides make it quite clear that the Left turned the charges against the violent Lafayette Square protestors into an opportunity to aid the thugs.

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Inflation forcing retirees back into jobs. “One out of four adults said that inflation is the single greatest threat to their retirement plans in 2022, according to Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis. That’s more than concerns about health care costs, outliving your money or job security combined.”
