POLITICS AREN’T AUTHORITY: Judge: No, you can’t cancel Trump’s NYC golf course contract. “I never fail to find these stories amazing. Donald Trump has been out of office for more than a year, but he still lives in these people’s heads rent-free on a daily basis. And the fishing expeditions launched against him have yet to produce enough results to hold a family fish fry. It would almost be amusing if it wasn’t so sad.”

Given the extent to which he’s been investigated without result, Trump has to be the most honest U.S. President in decades.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Secret Service agents in Biden detail reportedly part of bribery scheme. “At least four Secret Service members were compromised by alleged conspirators Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali, according to a Friday filing by federal prosecutors. The feds say Ali boasted of links to Pakistan’s powerful Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency and his passport indicated recent trips to Iran and Pakistan.”

If the United States took its security seriously, it would have long ago killed the top 100 people in the Pakistani ISI.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN JURIES REFLEXIVELY TRUSTED THE FBI: How the FBI Got Whacked By Their Own Boomerang in the Gretchen Whitmer Kidnapping Case. “What was seen as a slam-dunk case by the Feds turned out to be an embarrassing exposure of their entrapment games that netted them zero convictions in this case. Zilch. Two men were outright found not guilty by a federal jury. The rest were deadlocked. It’s over, and if the FBI wants to rehash all their embarrassing moments in this case—be our guest.”

Somewhere, Richard Jewell looks down and smiles. And there should be consequences for the people bringing this case.

AFTER THIS LATEST VIDEO I’M ACTUALLY STARTING TO WORRY ABOUT WILL SMITH:

You don’t have to be an expert to see that something is deeply wrong here with our man Will “What Did The 5 Fingers Say To The Face” Smith:

Holy moly. The despair. The anxiety. The tension between him and his “wife.” She doesn’t appear to give a crap about him. He appears like a beaten dog. I’m sorry but that’s what it looks like to me.

JAMES MEIGS: How Green Was Germany’s Folly? “While Europe was buying solar panels, banning fracking, and shuttering nuclear plants, Russia was drilling wells and building nuclear plants. It’s a funny thing: In the West, the smart set will tell you that nuclear-power plants are too expensive and take too long to build. They also claim that wind and solar have made nuclear obsolete. And yet in Russia—a country awash in dirt-cheap gas, oil, and coal—Putin found it worth his while to double the country’s nuclear capacity in just a couple of decades. Having more nuclear power at home meant he could send more fossil fuels to his increasingly needy European customers. He didn’t do that out of generosity.”

TAMARA KEEL: Dear 9 mm 1911, I ♥ You. “In 9 mm, a Commander-size 1911 holds 10 rounds in its single-stack mag. With one up the pipe, that’s 11 rounds of 124-grain +P Federal HST. Since I try to avoid Christmas parties at Nakatomi Tower, that’s probably plenty to handle any holiday-season troubles I might encounter without having to resort to a reload.”

I don’t care how loud they howl, this is purely evil, and ordinary people have got to wake up to what schools, the Walt Disney Company, the medical profession, the media, the Democratic Party, and the President of the United States are doing to children and families. They can howl all they want about how mean and demagogic we are for calling them groomers. I think of Hannah Arendt’s line: ‘One of the greatest advantages of the totalitarian elites of the twenties and thirties was to turn any statement of fact into a question of motive.’”
