TOO GOOFY TO BE SCARY, TOO SCARY TO BE GOOFY: Another Trump Assassination Plot Foiled, but There’s a Bizarre Twist to This One.
I’VE ALWAYS BEEN SKEPTICAL: What to know about peptide therapy. My GI doc, who’s a very buff, fit guy, was singing the praises of peptides to me a while back, but like I say, I’m skeptical.

WELL, GOOD: Trump is already winning his trade war with China. “Behind the global economic chaos provoked by president Trump’s tariff tsunami, there are growing indications of a strategic purpose. It is now conceivable that plunging into, and then retreating from, a generalised trade war was actually a deliberate means to a truly geostrategic end: to thwart China’s ambition to replace the US as the dominant world superpower. . . . In this light, the suspension of tariff combat for 90 days with most countries, while doubling down on the levies imposed on China, leaves Beijing isolated and in the firing line.”

American shipyards produce about two Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyers each year. That South Korea’s shipyards can kind of casually offer to add five more to their production runs for our use shows just how far we’ve fallen.
Still, we should take advantage because expanding domestic production takes time.

CORN, POPPED: If This Is What It Looks Like, NY AG Letitia James Is In a World of Trouble. “A word about my source for what you are about to read: Sam E. Antar was one of the biggest fraudsters of the 1980s. In his role as CFO of the ubiquitous Brooklyn, N.Y.-based electronics chain Crazy Eddie, Antar was convicted of multiple federal fraud-based felonies in 1991, although he scored a plea deal that kept him out of prison.”
