SO ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAS THIS CAT, HENRY: He’s not the world’s dumbest cat, because Havey-cat (my cat) narrowly beats him. Maybe. I mean it’s really close. So, when you have a really dumb cat what do you do? Why of course, you make him a published author. (They’re blank books/notebooks.)

Super cute A5 notebook chronicling Henry’s DEMAND for attention. This warm design is perfect for the cat lover in your life.

To all aspiring writers: Henry has 9 books out. You can too! (Though yours probably shouldn’t be blank. Unless you really want them to be.)

DON SURBER: Soak the Billionaires:
This weekend, Democrats floated another trial balloon on a billionaire’s tax. The New York Times reported, “Biden to Include Minimum Tax on Billionaires in Budget Proposal.”
As a conservative I am dutybound to come to the defense of the billionaires, right? After all, National Review has attacked this plan several times over. . . .
That’s all nice to know, but the question is what is in it for conservatives?
Romans asked Cui Bono, who benefits?
I ask Sonny Bono? What’s in it for me and my son?
NR relies on the charity of others so it sides with its rich benefactors who donate to NR. Opposing higher taxes on the rich makes sense for them. NR writers have convinced themselves that we must protect the wealth of billionaires because eventually the confiscation trickles down to the rest of us. Good for them.
But actual conservatives have very few rich benefactors. They have many more billionaire oppressors.

WILL SMITH APOLOGIZES TO CHRIS ROCK FOR OSCARS’ SLAPPING INCIDENT: ‘I WAS WRONG.’
“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” Smith wrote in part on Instagram before publicly apologizing to Rock. “I was out of line and I was wrong.”
“I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”
His full statement reads: “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”
“I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness. ”
“I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my ‘King Richard’ family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.”
“I am a work in progress. Sincerely, Will.”
Now that the standard boilerplate showbiz apology has been issued, I assume this clears the deck for Smith and Rock’s managers to put together what seems inevitable at this point: A Bad Boys/48 Hours/Lethal Weapon-style buddy film and/or co-hosting next year’s Oscars. Both guys are primed to print millions of dollars from yesterday’s incident.
OPEN THREAD: Your comments alone are not enough.
MICHAEL WALSH: No Country for Old Men.
The President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., who is 79 years old and suffering from senile dementia at the end of a long life of bullying, lying, boasting, conniving, grifting, grafting, and living off the public tit to an extent indecent even by Washington standards, declared war on Russia on Friday. In the course of a typically blustering, hectoring speech, the senescent Biden went off script and interpolated the following peroration: “My God, this man cannot remain in power.”
To which the only proper response is: “My God, this man cannot remain in the Oval Office.” Joe Biden needs to be removed from the White House as soon as possible, before his failing mind, his erratic behavior, and his proven lack of character get us all killed. The question is, is there enough political will in the capital to do what needs to be done?
Biden’s blunder was immediately walked back by the few adults left in the room, called a “gaffe,” or—worse—actually defended by the neocons and other leftists as truth-telling on a heroic scale, evocative of Ronald Reagan’s 1987 “tear down this wall” speech at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, which two years later actually did result in the Wall coming down. But his rash words continue to ring, now matter how swiftly his handlers and apologists and even Biden himself try to make us disbelieve our own lying ears[.]
Why, it’s as if: Joe Biden’s Big Mouth Is Becoming a Liability. “This is a delicate moment. It demands a disciplined, whole-of-government approach, and that’s not what we’re seeing from this president.”
QED: Biden used cheat sheet while doubling down on unscripted message to oust Putin.

LOS ANGELES REVIVES ITS TOURISM PUSH, SAYING ‘YOUR COMEBACK STARTS HERE.’
Los Angeles is starting its comeback by safely reopening museums, indoor dining, theme parks, outdoor live events and more. Now, the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board hopes to inspire lovers of LA to start their comeback, whenever they are ready.
A double entendre, the comeback story is a nod to the challenges the destination has faced over the past year, while acknowledging the overflowing optimism for the future – with the campaign’s creative aiming to inspire visitors to come back to LA. “LA is the place for visitors to come back to those moments of spontaneity, joy, romance, relaxation and more that were missed,” stated Don Skeoch, chief marketing officer for the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board.

Yes the article is a year old, but I saw the above ad for the first time earlier today on YouTube. Shouldn’t L.A. get its own comeback started before threatening telling the rest of us that our “comeback starts here?”

WALLS ARE CLOSING IN ON PUTIN: Heineken ceases business in Russia, joining droves of companies.
Beer company Heineken announced it would leave Russia on Monday, over a month since the nation’s invasion into Ukraine began.
The Dutch brewing company is “shocked and deeply saddened” by Moscow’s continued actions, according to a company statement.
Continuing to do business in Russia “is no longer sustainable nor viable in the current environment,” it said.
The decision to leave was a strategic one, and Heineken said operations will continue to be reduced as ownership is transitioned, according to a report.
“We aim for an orderly transfer of our business to a new owner in full compliance with international and local laws,” the statement read.
It’s back to Strelnokoff for the Russians:

RACISM IS EVERYWHERE: Black smartwatch users may see less accurate heart rate data. “The problem stems from the basic technology used in most wearables. It measures heart rate by analyzing blood volume changes in the blood vessels, via light that passes through the skin. That light is usually green light. . . . Green light has a shorter wavelength, Shah explained, and it’s more readily absorbed by melanin, the pigment in skin. The upshot: Darker skin blocks more green light, which can dampen the accuracy of the devices’ measurements. Shah agreed the discrepancies are a concern, in part because the devices are being used in employee wellness programs and the like. Many companies incentivize employees’ use of fitness trackers with financial perks, like extra vacation days or even lower health insurance premiums.”
