IT’S BEEN GOING ON SINCE LUNCHTIME: Verizon still working to resolve network issue snarling cellphone service. Mine was out for a while; I know some people who still don’t have service.

UPDATE: My phone just got a bunch of texts from around 2 pm which suggests to me that they’ve fixed the outage, or at least a major chunk of it, just now.

GOOD LORD: Ex-CEO of Paul Newman charity for sick kids embezzled millions. “Christopher L. Butler, 49, of Porter Ranch, California, has been charged with more than a dozen felonies after allegedly stealing $5.2 million over seven years from The Painted Turtle, one of the many charities for kids with chronic or life-threatening illnesses co-founded by the late actor.”

OUT ON A LIMB: White Girl George Floyd Isn’t Working.

Americans have been through too much in the past six years to be raised to hysteria over Good’s death. She doesn’t turn out to be a very sympathetic plaintiff, even post-mortem, and as the country is informed — grudgingly, and not with the participation of the legacy propaganda press — that she was part of an organized cabal of left-wing termagants trained to use their vehicles as weapons against federal law enforcement officers in order to protect illegal aliens from deportation, the case gets harder to make. (RELATED:The Media Are Agents of Propaganda)

The country is looking for prosperity. It’s looking for cultural renewal. It wants the illegals to go home and the radical leftists to shut up.

And at the end of the day, when it looks at Minnesota, what it has to say is not “we stand with Renee” but rather “where did all of our money go?”

Walz and Frey and Minnesota’s gangster attorney general, Keith Ellison, who never paid a price for organizing a kangaroo court for Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the wake of Floyd’s death, don’t have a good answer for that. All they have is a promise to eventually close the barn door now that the horses are gone.

BOB GRABOYES IS BACK: 2026 and the Return of Bastiat’s Window. Just a taste:

BAVARIAN SOVIET REPUBLIC 2026: In 1919, a group of young, angry, incompetent communists and anarchists established the Bavarian Soviet Republic in southern Germany and, in doing so, created one of the most unhinged and economically illiterate political entities of the 20th century. Among other things, they:

promised free money for everyone;

declared war on Switzerland;

decreed that no house could have more than three rooms (with a legal mandate that the living room must always be above the bedroom and kitchen);

formed a cabinet that included at least one convicted criminal (moral turpitude) and one mental patient; and

sent telegrams informing Vladimir Lenin and Pope Benedict XV that the ousted leader of Bavaria had stolen the key to the restroom when he fled.

In 2026, New York City voters have decided to replicate the Bavarian experience by electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor. Only time will tell whether Mamdani and his friends outdo the Bavarians in their lunacy.

History repeating.
