HE’S JUST GETTING STARTED:

THEY NEED GUNS:

UPDATE (From Ed):

BECAUSE OF COURSE: CU Boulder pro-Palestinian group defends antisemitic firebombing, demands release of culprit.

This past week, the University of Colorado Boulder chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine demanded the release of convicted killer Mohamed Soliman … and justified his firebombing of a pro-Israel event a year ago.

Soliman was sentenced last month to “life plus 2,178 years” for attacking a “Run for Their Lives” (an event which supports the release of Israeli hostages by Hamas) last year with a “makeshift flamethrower” at which one victim was killed and over a dozen others burned.

In Jeremiah Wright-style, the CU Boulder SJP described Soliman’s actions as a “case of chickens coming home to roost.”

CU Boulder doesn’t recognize the group, but that’s about as far as the school’s sanctions seem to go.

THE COPE IS STRONG:

My cope was writing off California as a Third World banana republic, but that was years ago.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: OK, I Think President Trump Really Enjoys Trolling Kristen Welker. “This isn’t the first time that Welker has stepped on the Trump 47 rake. President Trump gave one of his first interviews after returning to office to Welker, and that didn’t go what one would call swimmingly. All of the major players in the administration have been on Meet the Press since then, and each appearance featured at least one moment when Welker was confronted for her bias. All were great red meat television moments for conservatives.”

SEEMS LIKE A GOOD REASON TO DO IT: Iran opposes use of its assets to pay reparations to U.S. Arab allies. “President Donald Trump said in an interview that aired on Sunday he would not move to unfreeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets before a formal peace agreement to end the US-Israel war with Iran.”

Even then, it would be a mistake.

NOVEMBER PREIVEW: ‘Maine’s Milei’ Looms Large in GOP Race for Governor.

Much like Argentina’s President Javier Milei, [Bobby] Charles spells out — in detail — precisely what he intends to do should he succeed termed-out Democrat Gov. Janet Mills this fall.

Charles, in fact, did almost that in a telephone interview with Newsmax Friday night on his way to a campaign event.

“Taxes are too high, senior citizens can’t afford the 36 percent increase in the cost of energy, and we’re losing young Mainers who move away for a better opportunity,” he told us.

“That’s because we’ve been a one-party state for the last six years, so we’ve got to undo what has happened during that time.” he said.

Specifically, Charles wants to make Maine the 12th state to abolish its income tax, oversee major property tax cuts, and roll back unfunded mandates on towns and municipalities.

Many more like him, please.

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES:

KEVIN DOWNEY JR: Filthy Pinko of the Week: Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy! “Murphy appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher and went full bosh goblin as he vomitously disembogued his Pravda-esque presstitution about what a censoring tyrant President Donald Trump is regarding the recent head-lopping of propagandist Scott Pelley. Maher, who appears to be politically waking up, albeit with the speed of a tectonic plate shift, wasn’t having it.”

THAT’S (D)IFFERENT BECAUSE REASONS AND ALSO SHUT UP, RACIST:

IT ISN’T A RACE THING — EXCEPT FOR THE DEFENDANT AND HIS SUPPORTERS:

SWAMP CREATURES:

Maybe elected office ought to be treated the same way treason once was — no officeholder’s descendants may hold office for three generations.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU DESPISE THE MEDIA…:

JOANNE JACOBS: Too much ‘adult supremacy’ at school? Or not enough?

I am an adultist, and proud of it. Now that I know there is such a thing.

San Francisco teachers were urged to resist “adult supremacy” at a weekend workshop sponsored by Teachers4SocialJustice, reports Annie Gaus in the California Post. “Youth as Knowledge Producers: Challenging Adult Supremacy Through Ethnic Studies” was part of an “Ethnic Studies Everywhere” conference.

Teachers who chose to attend learned that “the relationship between students and educators is an oppressive one,” as a slide explained. Adult supremacy “constructs adults as developed, mature, intelligent, and experienced, based solely on their age and ensures that adults control the resources and make the decisions in society.”

Somebody has to be the grownup, as my wife likes to say.

FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY [VIP]: Is That a Stolen Radiological Device in Your Pocket? “It’s time for your much-needed break from the serious news, and this week, we’ll learn why you don’t bring your own chimichanga to Taco Bell, where not to sell your stolen radiological device, and how an excavator is best used to settle domestic disputes in Pennsylvania.”

TIS A PITY THEY CAN’T BOTH LOSE… OH, WAIT — THEY DID: Katie Porter Whacked Eric Swalwell To Come In 5th. “That’s right, Katie Porter, who we were told was the Democrat insider’s choice for governor, and the reason then-leading Democrat Swalwell had to be shived, garnered less than 5% of the vote.”

FORBIDDEN FRUIT: Once Again, No One Sells More Guns in America Than Gun-Grabbing Politicians. “Recent FBI data suggests Virginia gun stores are seeing a huge surge in demand. In May, Virginia recorded 75,376 background checks — more than double the total from the same month last year. While background checks are not a direct measure of gun sales, they’re widely used as an industry indicator.”
