JIM TREACHER: President Biden Must Disarm the Secret Service Immediately. “And that’s where the lie collapses on itself. Nobody is stupid or crazy enough to believe disarming the Secret Service would make the president more safe. Getting rid of his armed security would be tantamount to suicide. If the president of the United States has the right to protect his own life with as many guns as it takes, why don’t the rest of us? Either the United States Constitution applies to all Americans or it doesn’t. Which is it? Hello? Anybody? I just want one lib to answer any of these questions. Tell us why we should be defenseless against attackers, but our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters get to have as many guns as they want.”

HIS LOWEST APPROVAL RATE SO FAR: Biden approval falls below every modern president. “Former Presidents Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Gerald Ford had lower average approval ratings at some stage early in their presidencies, but Biden has caught up, and today’s average was the first for which he was below all presidents since Truman, a potentially troubling trend as Democrats ready for the midterm elections.”

PRIORITIES:

Washington exists to protect the nomenklatura’s prerogatives, not the people’s lives, liberty, or property.

WEIRD THAT THERE ARE NO ECO-TERRORISTS WHO TARGET PRIVATE JETS:

PAULA BOLYARD: Timeline Shifts AGAIN in Uvalde School Shooting. “It’s not unusual to see new facts emerge and shifting timelines in the wake of such a horrific attack. The fog of war makes it difficult to piece together a moment-by-moment account of how a situation unfolded. It will likely take weeks or even months before we know how things really transpired. Nevertheless, the information we do have raises questions about the police response to the shooting.”

BIDEN’S WHO PROPOSALS HIT WALL: A buzz saw of opposition hit those 13 amendments proposed by the Biden White House to, according to critics, cede U.S. sovereignty within its borders over public health issues to the World Health Organization (WHO).

IS A METAVERSE CHURCH A REAL CHURCH? Shane Morris of the Colson Center is no fan of the digital church phenomenon sparked by the Covid Pandemic. After all, avatars can’t share a person’s joy or pain.

IT’S STARLINK: Tracking China’s Hypersonic Missiles – After Moscow, Beijing Threatens To Neutralize America’s ‘Greatest Wartime Asset.’

China must acquire the capability to track, monitor, and, if required, kill all Starlink satellites in orbit around the Earth, reported SCMP, citing a study published last month.

The study states: “A combination of soft and hard kill methods should be adopted to make some Starlink satellites lose their functions and destroy the constellation’s operating system.”

SpaceX operates the Starlink satellite constellation system. It currently employs over 2,400 low-earth orbit satellites capable of providing high-speed internet anywhere globally.

The system has been credited with providing the internet to some of the world’s most remote areas. Elon Musk, the CEO, intends to deploy as many as 30,000 satellites over the next decade.

The US Department of Defense has also inked a deal with SpaceX to use the Starlink platform for military purposes. This agreement includes creating sensors for tracking hypersonic missiles, which China already has in its arsenal.

A Great Power nation-state gearing its military towards undoing the work of a privately-held company might be unprecedented.

IT’S THE 1960s ALL OVER AGAIN: Those of a certain age (like me) well remember the SDS and the campus left-wing radicals who rioted and shut down hundreds of campuses, often by blocking access to classrooms and administrative offices.

Now check this out from the Washington Free Beacon’s Kevin Daley on the Left’s plans to shutdown the U.S. Supreme Court. Then the student union. Now the highest court in the land. And just as mindless and destructive of civilization as ever.

HAHA:

Elon is having fun, and it shows.

FLASHBACK: Two teens arrested in ‘mass casualty’ plot in 2018 targeting a Uvalde middle school.

Two Uvalde teens were recently arrested for Conspiracy to Commit Murder after officers said they foiled a mass-shooting plot the pair had schemed.

A press release obtained by KENS 5 thoroughly chronicles events leading up to an investigation performed by the Uvalde Police Department and the Texas Rangers.

In the press release, Uvalde Chief of Police Daniel Rodriguez said that a Morales Junior High School student, 14, and a former Morales student, 13, had specifically targeted numerous students in what they described as a plan to perform a “mass casualty event against the school.”

Authorities said the students were motivated in large part by the Columbine shootings.

This week:

Uvalde might have been yet another “known wolf” situation but we just can’t say for sure yet.

UPDATE: From the comments, the Daily Mail is on this story in a way the US press isn’t yet: Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales says Uvalde gunman was arrested FOUR YEARS ago after telling people he planned to ‘shoot up a school once he’s a senior in 2022.’

UH OH:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Disturbing Questions but Very Few Answers Regarding Uvalde Tragedy. “It’s well known that I am very pro-law enforcement (see yesterday’s Briefing) but this is really upsetting — especially the way the parents were treated. This flailing by law enforcement officials about what actually happened must be adding to the torture of the grieving parents.”
