SORRY, BUT YOU LOST ME AT “FUNCTIONING LEGACY MEDIA”:

A functioning legacy media might have questioned why there was no mention of a PSA (prostate) test in Joe Biden's February 2024 blood test report.
After all, men commonly get that test. It is a simple blood test, noninvasitve. Biden wasn't tested. Or to put it another way, there… pic.twitter.com/M3xNgLFxg6

PSA tests are actually less common for men over 70 for various reasons, but I find it difficult to believe that POTUS isn’t screened for pretty much everything.

JAMES VARNEY: Wasting Away in Wind-and-Solarville.

Greens insist that reductions in carbon emissions will more than compensate for increased levels of potentially toxic garbage; others fret that renewable energy advocates have not been forthright about their lack of eco-friendly plans and the technology to handle the waste.

“Nobody planned on this, nobody had a plan to get rid of them, nobody planned for closure,” said Dwight Clark, whose company, Solar E Waste Solutions, recycles solar panels. “Nobody thought this through.”

The discussion about what to do with worn-out solar and wind equipment is another topic usually elided in Net Zero blueprints, which often focus on the claimed benefits of projects while discounting or ignoring the costs. As RealClearInvestigations previously reported regarding the lack of plans for acquiring the massive amounts of land for solar and wind farms needed to achieve net zero, the math can get fuzzy, and the numbers cited most frequently are those rosiest for renewables.

“They’ve been either silent, or incoherent – or just hand-wave that we should recycle all this stuff without telling us how,” said Mark Mills, executive director of the National Center on Energy Analytics. In the headlong effort to make solar and wind seem as inexpensive as possible, they have not included fees that address the eventual cost of disposal, which could leave taxpayers holding the bag.

Could?

Where is the GOP Congress?

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: The Fake Breakup Between the MSM and the DNC Is a Bit Much to Stomach. “Let us just take a look at how the MSMers are trying to fashion the story. Then we we’ll explore why their masters at the DNC are letting them get away with it. It’s a family feud of epic political proportions, but it’s not really a feud. We’re dealing with the most awful people in the history of the Republic feigning honesty because they know that they can get away with it.”

Examples need to be made. The Left’s culture of impunity needs to be ended.

SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT: FBI Director Patel says unreleased Russia probe documents will soon be made public.

FBI Director Kash Patel said on Fox News that “truckloads” of previously unreleased documents related to the Russia probe known as Crossfire Hurricane and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot will soon be made public in a “wave of transparency.”

He said the previous FBI leadership hid documents and information pertaining to the Russia probe “where people weren’t supposed to look.”

Patel, alongside Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, said on the Fox Business Network show “Sunday Morning Futures” that the release could happen within two weeks.

“Just give us about a week or two,” Patel said.

Faster, please.

Get him re-elected, have him step aside for health reasons, let Kamala be president without an election, let the usual crowd of apparatchiks actually run things.

Yes. Next question?

FLASHBACK: Dealing with the Lower Courts.

Related: Make the Supreme Court lots bigger. It’s not a priesthood, it should represent America. “Increasing the number of justices would reduce the importance of any single retirement or appointment. And it would also reduce the mystique of the court, which I see as a feature, not a bug. Nine justices could seem like a special priesthood; two or three times that number looks more like a legislature, and those get less respect. Which would be fair. The Supreme Court, after all, isn’t made up of Platonic guardians. It’s made up of lawyers. If you asked Americans at random what kind of people they think are best suited to provide moral leadership, I rather doubt that lawyers would rank high on the list.”

Plus: Ginsburg flap shows Supreme Court, justices are too important. “Under my proposal, the death or retirement of a single justice wouldn’t be much more than a blip in the news, instead of something serious enough that there are people talking about violence in the streets. A Supreme Court composed of 59 justices wouldn’t have the mystique of the current Court — you might believe in 9 Platonic Guardians, but the notion of 59 such is absurd. And since governors would presumably select people from their own states, it would bring a substantial increase in diversity to the Court.”

MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY: Report from Down South.

READINESS: Army halts tactical UAS competition without clear plan forward.

“It’s not that we don’t want a Future Tactical UAS. It’s just the one that was being developed didn’t meet our needs,” Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Mingus told reporters at the Army Aviation Association of America’s annual conference.

As part of a larger directive issued by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to make major changes to structure, formations and programs, the Army decided to cancel the FTUAS program just as two vendors had just wrapped up a competitive flight demonstration phase.

“There’s a misnomer of, ‘We’ve killed FTUAS,’” Mingus said. “We still need short, medium, long-range unmanned systems that can sense, they can see, they can extend the network, they can kill, they’re kinetic, they’re [electronic warfare], they do all those things and so we’re still going to invest in systems like that.”

The decision comes after the Army approved just one year ago the characteristics it wants in an FTUAS and awarding contracts to two teams competing to build the drone.

More from X: “It’s official: The US Army has fewer drones than we had 3 years ago.”

IT REALLY IS: Democrat Men Are Trying To Fake Masculinity And It’s Painful To Watch.

WELL, LET’S SEE SOME REAL INDICTMENTS NOW: Jonathan Turley: “For Posterity’s Sake”: Why the Biden-Hur Tapes is a Virtual Racketeering Indictment. “The real indictment that comes out of these tapes is a type of political racketeering enterprise by the Washington establishment. It took a total team effort from Democratic politicians to the White House staff to the media to hide the fact that the President of the United States was mentally diminished. If there were a political RICO crime, half of Washington would be frog-marched to the nearest federal courthouse.”

I suspect a prosecutor less creative than the ones that went after Trump could still find a plausible theory of crime here.
