DON SURBER: Sucks to be Iran this morning: Trump gave them a 60-day notice to negotiate.
Well, it sucks to be the Mullarchy, anyway. For actual Iranians, it’s a major opportunity.

"My message to the military, law enforcement, and security forces is clear:
This regime and its corrupt and incompetent leaders do not value your lives or our Iran. Separate yourself from them and join the people." pic.twitter.com/tEvuRRQiT7

AN OVERNIGHT WIN FOR TRUMP, AT THE COURT OF APPEALS AND IN THE POLLS:
TODAY – 57% Approve Trump Deploying National Guard in LA
Even while President Donald Trump’s immigration policy remains controversial, most voters support his decision to use the National Guard to stop attacks on federal immigration agents in Los Angeles. https://t.co/oBPqbSiqT7

UPDATE: But a good point from Adrian Vermeule:
If your reaction to this is that “the process is working,” you’re missing the point. Any one of almost 700 district judges might intervene at any time to block anything the President does, even within the core of his Article II powers. The overhang of uncertainty and confusion… https://t.co/l93r1M78qA

Plus:
In my review of the decision I don't see where Breyer even addressed this issue.
If calling into federal service is a POTUS function, how can he enjoin that decision if he has no jurisdiction over POTUS on separation of powers grounds.
That is black letter law. https://t.co/hhoibH9C2w

SOCIAL DESTRUCTION: It Was the Damn Phones. “It has been true for hundreds of years: older generations worry about whatever new technology young people are using, and whatever new media they are consuming. This is why some people believe that the current wave of concern about social media and smartphones is overblown, like earlier concerns about violence in comic books and music lyrics. These skeptics say that no new norms or laws are needed. But during all previous waves, most young people liked the things they were doing.”

This isn’t organic. it’s staged, funded, and protected by the left. You don’t get crates of riot gear without coordination. The Democrats aren’t just turning a blind eye. they’re fueling the fire.
