MICHELLE OBAMA CANNOT CONTAIN HER CONTEMPT FOR BARACK:

“You should’ve threw a boy in the mix,” radio host Angie Martinez told Obama in an episode of the former first lady’s “IMO” podcast released Wednesday.

The remark came as Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, along with Martinez, discussed society’s view of masculinity and the challenges of raising boys and young men.

“I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy,” Obama exclaimed.

“Why didn’t you throw in a third?” Martinez said with a chuckle to the mother of two.

“Because he would’ve been a Barack Obama,” the “Becoming” author and former president’s wife quipped to laughs.

You’ll note that The Hill, from which the quotation above comes, assures readers that it was a “quip” with “laughs.” However, as we all know, there are jokes and there are mean jokes. The former never hurt a person close to the joke-teller. The latter are a way to get away with a truly nasty, abusive line, while disclaiming responsibility. We’ve all hurt the mean guy, after throwing out one of those insults, claiming afterward, “What are you getting so upset about? Can’t you take a joke?” But of course, everyone knows it wasn’t a joke.

And when you have someone like Michelle Obama, who never stops complaining about her husband and making endless little digs at his expense, believe me, it’s no joke.

Matt Margolis adds: Confirmed: Michelle Obama Really Is a Horrible Person. “Here’s a woman who has built her entire public persona on moral superiority and inspirational messaging, yet she can’t resist using public platforms to crap on the man who made her fame and fortune possible. The hypocrisy is staggering, but it’s entirely consistent with her long history of bitter, divisive rhetoric.”

SO SAD: Sunny Hostin Has Regrets for Actually Asking Kamala a Question and Tanking Her Campaign.

It was a moment that many feel ended Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, and it never would have happened to a qualified candidate. It went down in October ’24 when “The View’s” far-left contributor Sunny Hostin asked Harris what she would do differently from her addled boss, then-President Joe Biden. Kamala basically answered, not a darn thing.

It was a softball question if there ever was one, and Harris swung and missed in one of the great political whiffs of the century.

Now Hostin has the sads that she had the temerity to ask what should have been a simple query. Speaking on the “Behind the Table” podcast  posted Wednesday, the incendiary host said she feels “terrible.”

“It’s Sunny’s fault she [Kamala] didn’t win,” Joy Behar quipped, trying to be funny but figuratively stabbing her co-host in the back. Sunny put her hands to her face in shame, then responded:

“I knew it instantly when she answered it,” Hostin said during the podcast conversation, when asked by Teta if she knew it would be a viral moment. “Which is why I asked the follow-up question, ‘is there one thing?’  Because I knew, I could see the soundbite and I knew what was going to happen, but I thought it was a really fair question and I thought it was a question that she would expect.”

[…]

“And now Jake Tapper wrote it in his book?” she asked her fellow co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin. “I feel terrible.”

Co-host on a show produced by ABC News feels “terrible” because she actually committed one of the network’s rare moments of journalism.

NOW IT CAN BE TOLD: The Scandal of the Biden ‘Tell-All’ Books.

Despite the world crumbling all around them, the inner circle never broke ranks. This raises the third reason, beyond groupthink and the desperation to beat Trump, for the cover-up. Parnes and Allen argue that the Politburo was motivated by venality. Its members were desperate to maintain their own elevated positions.

Parnes and Allen provide a revealing quote from Donilon. It is not direct, of course, but comes via a “prominent Democrat.” According to the source, Donilon said, “Nobody walks away from this. No one walks away from the house, the plane, the helicopter.” The nobody he is referring to could have been Biden, but it could also just have easily been Donilon and Ricchetti and Reed and members of the top Biden team who had access to the house and the plane and the helicopter, along with their patron.

Tapper and Thompson note this dynamic as well. They report that when “discussing the insanity of the situation with a House Democrat, [House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete] Aguilar remarked that ‘folks like Ricchetti and Donilon—they’re living the first line of their obituaries right now. People don’t give that up.’”

The top Biden people were not only protecting their own access and their reputations, but their families as well. Donilon, Reed, and Ricchetti all had relatives on the administration payroll, including all four of Ricchetti’s children. They would not get to keep those jobs if Biden stepped down.

Once these people were on board with the need for the cover-up, it was difficult for them to see the reality of Biden’s infirmity. Other realities became distorted as well. Ted Kaufman, a longtime Biden aide who once had briefly replaced Biden in the Senate, shared the mindset. He argued to Whipple after the debate that when even the exceedingly Biden-friendly New York Times started asking questions, it was plotting against Biden: “I’ll bet you $1 million that they had an executive editorial board meeting and said, ‘Here’s what we’re going to do, guys.’” If you’re supporting a Democratic incumbent and you think the New York Times is conspiring against you, you have crossed the line into madness. Kaufman was dismissive of the Clooney op-ed as well, saying, “I don’t care, George, with all due respect. I know you’re famous and you’re important and people kiss your ass every day. But George, I’m just not interested!”

So far, the reviews of the recent behind the scenes tell-all books have only barely touched upon the most important aspect of the Biden “Politburo:” — it’s potential unconstitutionality:

Conservative constitutionalists believe the President is a *singular* official — the only branch of our three federal branches of government that consists of only one man.

In important ways, widespread use of the autopen— and certainly abuse without knowledge by the singular… https://t.co/eEl8bp3BFY

ARAK AND ROLL SUICIDE: Israel strikes Iranian nuclear reactor.

Israel struck an Iranian reactor in the central city of Arak on Thursday in its latest efforts to destroy the regime’s nuclear programme.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it targeted Iran’s heavy water nuclear reactor, striking what it described as “a key component in plutonium production”.

A black and white video, circulated online by the IDF, showed a missile crashing into the target, followed by a large explosion.

Both sides have been fighting for nearly a week since Israel launched attacks on Iranian nuclear sites and killed several top generals and nuclear scientists.

On Thursday, Israel said its warplanes also struck a facility at Natanz, a key Iranian nuclear site, which was being used to develop nuclear weapons, a military spokesman said.

The IDF said: “The site houses unique components and equipment used for the development of nuclear weapons, and hosts projects that enable the acceleration of the nuclear weapons programme.”

Sir Niall [Ferguson], the Milbank family senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, said: “I think the markets are complacent about this because there have been so many Middle Eastern crises in our lifetimes that produced only a blip in the oil price.

“But remember when an authoritarian regime is on its last legs, when it’s the end game, they tend not to go quietly.”

He predicted that the Iranian regime and its allies could hurt the US by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, and that would have a “massive economic impact”, pushing up the price of oil.

METAPHOR ALERT: ‘Hard to fathom:’ Sewage crisis at Calif. coastline can be seen from space.

A new study using satellite images from NASA shows that an environmental crisis at the Tijuana-San Diego border can be seen from space, prompting new concerns from experts.

Kim Prather, an atmospheric scientist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a distinguished professor at University of San Diego, and her lab team have been studying the severe, toxic chemicals. She told SFGATE that the new NASA tool can help scientists figure out how far the pollution goes.

GAIA CRIES: The Guardian Seethes Over ‘Carbon Footprint’ of Israel’s War in Gaza.

Anti-Israel journos with the intelligence quotient of a moth flying face-first into a bug lamp are just inventing stupid new ways to stir up furor at the Jewish State for daring to defend itself against terrorists obsessed with its obliteration.

The Guardian’s climate justice reporter Nina Lakhani put out a staggering piece of mind-numbing, fallacious eco-drivel May 30 that insults common sense. “Carbon footprint of Israel’s war on Gaza exceeds that of many entire countries,” cried Lahkani.

Writing as if she found some kind of proverbial silver bullet, she flexed a new bonkers study to claim that the “carbon footprint of the first 15 months of Israel’s war on Gaza will be greater than the annual planet-warming emissions of a hundred individual countries, exacerbating the global climate emergency on top of the huge civilian death toll.” She tied her nonsense to the typical climate agitprop: “Burning fossil fuels is causing climate chaos, with increasingly deadly and destructive extreme weather events forcing record numbers of people to migrate.”

Related: Lawmakers shootings: Trump says calling Walz would ‘waste time.’

What they’re saying:

Trump said he hasn’t and wouldn’t be calling Walz because it would “waste time.”

Trump called the Democratic governor “slick” and “whacked out” and said he’s “not calling him.” Trump added, “The guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s a mess.” Trump said he could “be nice and call him, but why waste time?”

Remember:

Walz was the vice presidential running mate for 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who lost to Trump.

The other side:

In an interview Monday with Minnesota Public Radio, Walz said he wasn’t surprised by the lack of outreach from Trump, saying, “I think I understand where that’s at.”

On Tuesday, Walz’s spokesperson, Teddy Tschann, said, “Governor Walz wishes that President Trump would be a President for all Americans, but this tragedy isn’t about Trump or Walz. It’s about the Hortman family, the Hoffman family, and the State of Minnesota, and the Governor remains focused on helping all three heal.”

In the early 2000s, Mickey Kaus liked to talk about “the Feiler Faster Thesis, [named] after the guy I stole the idea from:”

The news cycle is much faster these days, thanks to 24-hour cable, the Web, a metastasized pundit caste constantly searching for new angles, etc. As a result, politics is able to move much faster, too, as our democracy learns to process more information in a shorter period and to process it comfortably at this faster pace. Charges and countercharges fly faster, candidates’ fortunes rise and fall faster, etc.

And how! In the old days, it took decades between when a Republican was declared Hitler by Democrat politicians and their media operatives with bylines, and when he was issued a new suit and allowed to leave the Führerbunker in Berlin to attack the latest Rethuglican Hitler. It took over 35 years between Richard Nixon being smeared as a Nazi by George McGovern in the 1972 election, and Roger Ebert and Paul Krugman rehabilitating him as a nuanced, thoughtful statesman to attack current Republicans. It took over 20 years between when George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were declared Nazis by all thoughtful “Progressives,” before the Harris campaign aggressively sought their endorsements last year.

In contrast, it’s only taken Walz eight months from when he called Trump someone with “fascist tendencies” to now wondering when the sympathetic phone call to Saint Paul would be coming. And considering that Walz was calling ICE agents a “modern day Gestapo” only a month ago, the pace of change is accelerating exponentially!

“I give it about 25 minutes before BlueCry bans the sitting VP for ‘hate speech,'” Nick Sortor wrote. “UPDATE: BlueCry banned the sitting VP for hurting their feelings.”

Apparently, the ozone layer of BlueSky’s management realized the optics of banning the vice president would likely bring the wrath of the Trump administration upon them, so they eventually changed their minds. But Vance’s presence there is already enraging the tolerance for diversity crowd.

But history – in Iraq and more recently Syria – offers a timely warning. Yes, regimes in places like Iran can collapse and do so swiftly. Yet what comes after is not democracy and freedom but chaos and violence. Can Iran be the exception to this rule? I wouldn’t bet on it.”

MICHAEL GOODWIN: Cuomo should thank Mamdani for making him look like the safe, stable choice for NYC mayor.

In his race for mayor, Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani has done the impossible: He’s made Andrew Cuomo look like a safe, stable choice.

Mamdani pulled off the remarkable feat by breaking a cardinal rule of politics: Don’t scare ­people.

But he has done exactly that by taking such radical positions in the Democrats’ mayoral primary that the portion of the electorate that hasn’t fallen for his vision of a socialist utopia realizes his policies would wreck New York.

His mantra of free this and free that, combined with a rent freeze on 1 million privately owned rent-regulated apartments, while promising that higher taxes on the rich would pay for everything, is music only to the ears of those who are ignorant about history and the laws of economics and human nature.

He’s also anti-cop to the core, which is the absolute last thing New York needs in City Hall.

Mamdani, just 33 years old, is vying to become the city’s youngest mayor.

He’s got clever videos and a lively presence on social media.

The base of his support comes from young New Yorkers, which proves the wisdom of ­George Bernard Shaw’s observation that “youth is wasted on the young.”

Then there are those ardent leftists behind him who refuse to grow up, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Born in Uganda, Mamdani would also be Gotham’s first Muslim mayor, and his refusal to recognize Israel as the legitimate homeland for Jews is another bridge too far.

New York has more Jews than any other city in the world, and the idea that its mayor would support BDS and other policies that aim to damage and even destroy Israel is unthinkable.

Bill de Blasio smiles.

Related: Mamdani says ‘globalize the intifada’ is expression of Palestinian rights.

Zohran Mamdani, a leading candidate in next Tuesday’s New York City mayoral primary, refused to condemn calls to “globalize the intifada” during a new podcast interview with The Bulwark released on Tuesday, arguing the phrase is an expression of Palestinian rights.

In an exchange about antisemitic rhetoric on the left, Mamdani was asked by podcast host Tim Miller to share his thoughts on the phrase, which has been invoked at anti-Israel demonstrations and criticized as an anti-Jewish call to violence.

“To me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights,” said Mamdani, a far-left assemblyman from Queens who has long been an outspoken critic of Israel. “And I think what’s difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising into Arabic, because it’s a word that means struggle,” he said, apparently referring to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington.

I’m pretty sure the New York Times dropped their Iranian trips, in case anyone was thinking that was still an option. Flashback: What I Saw in Iran: A Free Beacon journey to the birthplace of Valerie Jarrett.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS: Tucker Carlson Plays Gotcha with Sen. Cruz on Iran.

Anyway, the full interview is out today and it starts out a lot calmer than the snippet above suggests. Cruz praises Carlson at length for his positions on the border and the pandemic shutdowns. He suggests they agree on about 80% of their politics with the exception of some foreign police issues. Cruz argues that he holds a position in between interventionist and isolationist which he calls “non-interventionist hawk.”

But there is a moment about 30 minutes in where Cruz actually puts Carlson on the spot. Carlson suggests the aid given to Israel is very expensive and doesn’t make sense when so many Americans are struggling to buy groceries. Cruz responded, “You said the support for Israel was very expensive. How much support do we give Israel?”

Carlson dodged by saying, “Well, you tell me you vote for it.”

“It’s about $3 billion a year is the military assistance,” Cruz said. He added that the military assistance was the only aid given to Israel.

And not long after that the conversation takes a turn into a discussion of AIPAC. This is the point when all hell really breaks loose. Cruz admits to being supported by AIPAC and even describes how the organization works, holding fundraisers for candidates who support their goals. Carlson keeps asking if AIPAC is a foreign lobbyist being directed by Israel, which Cruz denies repeatedly.

And that leads to Cruz wondering why Carlson is only focused on AIPAC and lobbying by Israeli aligned groups when there are lobbyists for every nation on earth in Washington doing many of the same things. He implies that Carlson is fixated on Israel and “the Jews.” Carlson takes offense at this and says Cruz is making a “sleazy feline” insinuation that he is antisemitic.

The conversation eventually moves on with Cruz saying he wants to lower the temperature but it never really does go down much.

Which seems quite odd; Tucker used to be made of sterner stuff on the topic of Iran:

DISPATCHES FROM BARACK PROJECTION OBAMA: Obama: US ‘dangerously close’ to moving toward autocracy.

Former President Obama warned on Tuesday the current political climate isn’t “consistent” with American democracy.

“It is consistent with autocracies,” Obama told a crowd in Hartford, Conn., where he spoke about the growing threat posed under the Trump administration, according to Connecticut Public Radio.

“We’re not there yet completely, but I think that we are dangerously close to normalizing behavior like that,” he added.

The former president was in conversation with Heather Cox Richardson, a Boston College professor who writes a daily newsletter on Substack, “Letters from an American.”

“If you follow regularly what is said by those who are in charge of the federal government right now, there is a weak commitment to what we understood, and not just my generation, at least since World War II — our understanding of how a liberal democracy is supposed to work,” Obama told Richardson earlier in the conversation.

OUT ON A LIMB: The case for cars.

I once had an idea to host a conference where the speakers and the attendees had all recently retired. The idea was that, freed from the obligation to repeat the usual approved platitudes, you could learn what experts really thought when they were free to speak their minds, rather than reciting a Davos-style litany of received opinion. (My cunning idea was not to pay the speakers, but to hold the event on a cruise ship, which are like catnip for the over-sixties.)

One of the speakers would have been David Metz, the author of Travel Fast or Smart? A Manifesto for an Intelligent Transport Policy, a fabulous polemic written after the author had left his job as chief scientist at the Department for Transport.

The book is a revelation. What becomes clear is that, in policy circles, it is now impossible to express any opinion which is pro-car or in favor of roadbuilding. The only approved vision of the future involves extracting people from their cars and cramming them into some form of mass transit. This is obvious nonsense. While trains and buses are fine for very specific journeys, for the overwhelming number of journeys we make day to day, the car is either irreplaceable, or else supreme. If it’s raining, if you have luggage, if you have children, if you want to transport anything heavier than a suitcase, if you want to travel at an unusual time or anywhere remotely rural, the car or van wins hands down. And I write this as someone who really likes trains.

New roads might be better than rail in countless ways. For one thing, you can build houses alongside them. Indeed, when you take land value into account, the case for road-building becomes stronger still. High-speed rail mostly connects places where land is already expensive with other places where land is also expensive. It is centripetal, funneling people into areas which are already comparatively rich. Roads, by contrast, are centrifugal – they disperse people and their money, adding value to land that was cheap beforehand. If you can capture the increased value of newly accessible land (for instance by selling planning permission) it becomes possible for government to build roads for free while reducing the housing shortage.

So why the desire named streetcar? (To coin a phrase.) That’s an easy one, Jeff Jacoby tweets:

Oh, that's easy. Trains are controlled by the government. They routinely lose money. They're unionized. They go only where & when bureaucrats decide they should go. Passenger preference counts for squat. Satisfaction is never guaranteed.
