SHE’S RIGHT, YOU KNOW:
Isn't the easiest answer to why Jeffries is struggling to mount an Anti-Trump resistance is that the President, Elon, & DOGE have shut off the money tap for the astroturfed protest operations, &, it's hard to fuel genuine opposition to an agenda that’s popular with the people? pic.twitter.com/0OzpFdOvnU

Welcome to the next phase of my “Trump Derangement Syndrome Meltdown of the Week” column. That was always intended to run just through the end of the 2024 election cycle. As we are all too well aware, however, the meltdown situation with the poor dears on the Left has gotten much, much worse now that President Trump is large and in charge again.
Ain’t it grand?

If there’s a “constitutional crisis” it’s caused by activist federal district judges with narrow jurisdictions usurping the powers of the presidency. @GovChrisSununu and I take on the left last night on @cnn. It’s just more lawfare against Trump. pic.twitter.com/yvZPXyXaGK

I’ve been thinking about ways to hold the judicial insurrectionists accountable
Perhaps we need a law providing that when someone seeks a nationwide injunction against the government, it must go to a three-judge district court with a direct appeal to SCOTUS

But there are still hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people all through society being denied work, or transplants, or admission, due to not having been “vaccinated.” If I had any line into Trump that’s what I’d tell him. Anyone in health care, etc. is still being affected by this stupid requirement.

OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: Generation Bland: the inevitable rise of ‘Palentine’s Day.’
As we approach with anticipation or dread 14 February, the day we traditionally celebrate love and all things amorous, a certain demographic will instead be observing a rather less passionate and altogether more bland occasion: ‘Palentine’s Day’. Commemorated on 13 February, this is apparently the date upon which to honour platonic friendships instead of romantic engagements – and it’s proving increasingly popular among Generation Z.
It all started with ‘Galentine’s Day’, a celebration of female friendship invented by the character Leslie Knope in American political satire mockumentary Parks and Recreation in 2010. As the concept moved from comedy to real life it morphed into the gender-neutral ‘Palentine’s’ – lest anyone should feel left out. Now universities across the country are putting on events for the occasion, and card companies have reported a surge in the popularity of merchandise commemorating it. Sales of Palentine’s cards at online greetings company Thortful have increased from a few dozen in 2016 to tens of thousands today.
According to relationship expert Tautvydas Sutkus, many younger people take a dim view of Valentine’s Day on account of its ‘traditional, often exclusionary, focus on romantic relationships’. This alternative ‘allows them to celebrate their friends and the emotional bonds they share’. This development shouldn’t surprise us. ‘Palentine’s Day’ is fitting for a generation that is inclined to be puritanical and moralistic. It’s also an age group that’s seemingly resigned to settle for a safe, insipid and risk-free existence: Generation Z has become Generation Bland.
Could be far worse — it could be Palantine’s Day:
Incidentally, remember in 1981, when John Hinkley was considered institutionally insane for thinking that Travis was the good guy in Taxi Driver? How far the left has “progressed:” Luigi Mangione frenzy: It’s time for a national conversation on left-wing violence.
