CORRECTION:
🇺🇸 REPORTS SAY A U.S. AIRCRAFT CARRIER JUST ENTERED THE RED SEA… BUT IT DIDN’T
Turns out, the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier did not show up in the Red Sea at all.

CIVIL RIGHTS: DeStefano: ‘I will never tell Letitia James who bought my guns.’ “Orlando, Florida resident and Indie Guns owner Lawrence Michael DeStefano wants his 50,000 New York customers to know he will never give up their names, even though New York State Attorney General Leticia James has threatened to put him in prison for more than 500 years if he doesn’t comply immediately and furnish their personal information and purchase history.”

MAKE SHOWERS GREAT AGAIN: Big Government Steps Out of the Shower Stall. “Eleven House Democrats crossed party lines to support Republicans in overturning the Biden-era regulation that restricted water flow in household showerheads. The resolution targeted a rule that capped gallons per minute, regardless of how many spray nozzles or settings a showerhead used.”
YOU NEED HELP, LADY:

This is the most honest thing to come out of these protests.

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Raids on WA public works account could put it in the red by 2028.
Since its creation in the 1980s, the Public Works Assistance Account has existed to provide funding for revolving low-interest loans for local governments for infrastructure improvement projects.
In the decades since its creation, the state Legislature has repeatedly raided the account to plug holes in its operating budget.
That practice continues into the current biennium, and could put the account in a negative balance, depending on budget proposals from elected officials as they scramble to cover a multibillion dollar deficit driven by increased spending that has outpaced record revenue levels.
It doesn’t matter how much money government has — it will always go looking for more.
GRADUALLY, THEN SUDDENLY: How the Democrats Lost Their Manhood.
HIGHER EDUCATION IMPLOSION UPDATE: University of Oklahoma may cut 16 degrees following review by board of regents.
It recently identified 16 “low-producing programs” at the public university in Norman that should be cut. In total, the regents said “41 programs [should] be deleted and 21 programs [should] be suspended” across all universities.
Specifically, the University of Oklahoma should cut its doctoral program in French, along with its masters’ degrees in drama, French, German, and two in “Interdisciplinary Programs.”
Bachelor degrees in various languages, along with both the bachelor of science and bachelor of arts in geography should also be cut, the board recommended. The minutes for the December regents’ meeting lists the remaining programs that should be ended.
A spokeswoman for the board provided further details on the review process.
“Programs that are not suspended or deleted as a result of that review are then placed on a five-year review cycle,” Associate Vice Chancellor for Communications Angela Caddell said in an email to The Fix. “This effort reflects public higher education’s ongoing commitment to aligning academic programs with workforce needs and ensuring optimal allocation of state resources.”
Anything with “studies” in the name ought to be given a good, hard look.

WELL, GOOD: Trump admin labels Muslim Brotherhood branches in Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt as terrorist organizations.
The departments of Treasury and State announced the actions against the Lebanese, Jordanian, and Egyptian chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood, which they said pose a risk to U.S. interests, The Associated Press reported.
The State Department designated the Muslim Brotherhood’s Lebanese branch a foreign terrorist organization, the most severe of the labels, making it a criminal offense to provide material support to the group. The Treasury Department listed the Jordanian and Egyptian branches as specially designated global terrorists for providing support to Hamas.
“These designations reflect the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood chapters’ violence and destabilization wherever it occurs,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement. “The United States will use all available tools to deprive these Muslim Brotherhood chapters of the resources to engage in or support terrorism.”
Rubio is awfully busy these days.

BEEGE WELBORN: Anti-ICE Types Enjoy Their Alternate Reality Heroics Until They’re Not MORE, CBS EDIT BUSTED.
One of the most befuddling and truly irritating things about all the theatrics surrounding the ICE enforcement brouhaha has been the levels of self-delusion that the Left is willing to indulge in in order to perpetuate the hysteria.
These lunatics have suspended time and reality in their demented and twisted brain housing groups.
An incident can happen, and be filmed without any alteration, then shown right in front of them, and they will immediately devise a different scenario than the one on screen out of whole cloth, as if it were some avant-garde ad-lib theater exercise.
Take, for instance, this episode (below) I watched just a second ago.
A protester has stationed themselves with their ubiquitous cell phone camera shield of steel directly against the front grill of an ICE vehicle. You can see there is a driver behind the wheel.
An agent forcibly removes the protester from the vehicle’s pathway with a good shove.
The vehicle begins to move the second the protester’s skinny frame is out of its path.
All that adds up to ‘the protester was, in fact, blocking the ICE vehicle,’ right?
Not in their world.
HE WASN’T OBSTRUCTING ANYTHING
Rational people survey says: he certainly was until he wasn’t.
Much more at the link, complete with CBS giving off a creepy “Who you gonna believe?” vibe.
