IF HE’S GOING TO START HIRING BLOGGERS, THINGS HAVE GOT NUTS:  Trump announces commentator Dan Bongino as FBI deputy director: ‘Congratulations!’

Otoh, the boss would look good on the Supreme Court, no?

Me? I just want to be allowed two spots a year as emergency backup press secretary, with permission to fling chanclas at members of the press.  My badge will say “License to chancla.”

PERHAPS NONE OF THIS CAN BE PROVEN, BUT DOES ANYONE DOUBT IT WAS GOING ON? PEOPLE WHO WERE AWAKE IN 2020 AND 2021? OF COURSE THE BUREAUCRACY IS FIGHTING BACK. THE CORRUPTOCRATS FIGHT FOR THEIR LIVELIHOOD:  Article 94.

I OBJECT IN TERMS OF WORDING. JEFFERSONIAN IS NOT THAT. THE WOKE ARE MOSTLY THE GREAT GRANDCHILDREN OF ROUSSEAU, GRANDCHILDREN OF MARX, CHILDREN OF GRAMSCI:  Wilsonians are the Clinton wing of the Democratic party. They are also all through the State Department and to a great extent the the ‘permanent bureaucracy’ in DC. (Though they’ve lately been overtaken by Jeffersonians in that.)

For the xless.

Other than that, he’s absolutely and completely correct.

And he wrote a follow up today: The State sees the Jacksonian Revolution as what it is in some ways: A coup. The entire term is ‘Coup de Etat.’ Blow to the State.

FOR THE XLESS: Go read anyway.

WHAT THE FOX SAYS:  Citizenship is at the same time rather complicated, and rather simple. On the simple side, citizenship via birth is determined on the main by two international conventions: the law of Jus Soli1 which comes from English Common Law and refers to gaining citizenship from the country whose territory you were born upon; and the law of Jus Sanguinis2 which comes to us from the French Civil Code and refers to gaining citizenship of the country your parent(s) are citizens of.

DO IT, M’LADY, DO IT:  I’ve considered making ActBlue donor information searchable and providing instructions on how to request a refund if donations were made without your authorization.

And for those without X.

NOT JUST DISABILITY BENEFITS BUT US PASSPORTS:  BREAKING: Whistleblower reveals she was encouraged to approve long-term disability for illegals, essentially securing lifetime Social Security benefits for each approval.

For those without x.

I don’t want to hear one word about how mean DOGE is. Not a single word about how you wanted a scalpel, not a chainsaw. Not a mutter about how many good people are getting hurt. Yes, good people are getting hurt because the state had swallowed the economy and was sucking our livelihood dry to grow itself and multiply while doing incredibly immoral and evil things in the name of replacing us with fresh victims.

Not one word. We should all be grateful the chainsaw is running before the tumbrils did and  Madame Guillotine got started.  Once she starts eating, she never stops. Not until civilization lies in tatters.

GO READ THIS. IT’S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:  I’m concerned that many people do not understand the historical and institutional context in which the DOGE labor reforms are unfolding. They look at this as if these are some random, chaotic, arbitrary, strange, and even cruel measures to impose on a devoted civil service.

AND FOR THE XLESS: here.

AND NOT A MINUTE TOO SOON:  VDH at His Finest: ‘We’re in the midst of a counter-revolution’.

ONLY JOY DIDN’T SEE THIS COMING:  MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid’s Show.

THE PEOPLE OF EUROPE NEED TO FREE THEMSELVES:  JD Vance Was Right, Europe Needs To Save Itself.

And as always I’m rooting for the people, there as here.

I DON’T KNOW, BUT WHAT WE’RE DOING AIN’T WORKING GREAT:  Is It Time to Rethink the Culling of Poultry in Response to Bird Flu?

The capper to Siobhan Miller’s terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day was a dog, tied to the stop sign. She hates dogs. She’s terrified of dogs, and that was a big dog. Looking sad and lonely, tied to a stop sign. That was not okay. She was the only one around, so she took him home. Only to find that he wasn’t a dog, but one of the Good People, under a curse. And there were more of them.

And they were all after her. And all she had was the dog (who wasn’t a dog) to help keep her from being taken away from all she’s ever known. Because that dog? He and his twin sister are family that she didn’t know she had, and their appearance has upended everything she’s ever known about herself. Including that she was human to begin with. She has a lot of questions.

Starting with curses, and how and why they sometimes spread.
