DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: ‘Jews Eat Children’: Deranged Outburst or Growing Threat? “The latest example of accusations against Jews becoming even more unhinged than the blood libels of the Middle Ages occurred on Sunday when a passenger on a New York City subway assaulted a Jewish woman. According to the Combat Antisemitism Movement, a black woman wearing a military-style camouflage coat with a patch depicting the German flag choked the 23-year-old Orthodox Jewish woman, threw her to the ground, and beat her. She managed to pull a patch of hair from the victim’s head. The victim said she suffered a concussion.”
NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRO… NEVER MIND, LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH THAT:

SPACE: Meteorite found in Sahara desert may be 1st evidence of lost solar system world. “The meteorite, known as Northwest Africa (NWA) 12774, is a roughly one-pound (454-gram) rock discovered in the Sahara Desert in 2019. Scientists classify it as an angrite, a rare type of meteorite that ranks among the oldest volcanic rocks in the solar system. This particular chunk of space rock, known as NWA 12774, preserves an unusual chemical signature that suggests some of the solar system’s earliest worlds developed differently from other rocky planets, researchers say.”

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SELL ME ON IT, I ALREADY WANTED HIM GONE: Media Reporter: Pelley Firing May Trigger ’60 Minutes’ Exodus.
Along with Pelley, correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega were recently fired and correspondent Anderson Cooper departed.
“No one has left the building at ’60 Minutes’ without some version of what Scott did, some sort of criticism toward the new management, and indeed the new ownership about the direction of the show,” Byers said.
“It is very difficult to see how this new leadership is able to usher ’60 Minutes’ as it has existed in the past into the future,” Byers added. “We only have three remaining correspondents there. I know that they currently are deliberating over what they are going to do.
“It’s very possible that we’re going to arrive at a moment here in a matter of weeks, if not days, where there is no existing talent left at ’60 Minutes’ and they are going to have to build this back up from scratch.”
Best thing that could happen to the show, really.
THOSE ARE ROOKIE NUMBERS: Trump signs order to make it easier to fire 8,000 federal workers. “You can have any political views, but if you allow those views to basically interfere with your willingness to actually carry out lawful orders and policy directives with the administration, then this provides a mechanism obviously for people in those agencies to be able to be removed effectively at will.”
ASKING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: What in the Actual Hell Is a Democrat These Days?
THAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT: Judicial Watch Sues California to Clean Up 873,000 Inactive Voter Registrations on Rolls. “Under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), states are required to make reasonable efforts to remove ineligible voters from the voter rolls, including those who have died or moved. The lawsuit also alleges, again citing admissions by California officials, that the state takes no effective action to require counties to comply with the NVRA. As a result, they do not comply.”
The counties don’t want to comply and Sacramento doesn’t want them to comply, which tells you there’s a reason nobody wants to comply.
AND ONE THE LEFT SEEMS HAPPY TO MEMORY HOLE: Tiananmen Square Is Still an Important Lesson.
SARAH HOYT’S SHOCKED FACE IS STUCK LIKE THAT: Obamacare Enrollment Fraud May Cost Taxpayers Billions In 2026, New Study Shows. “The newly released study alleges that approximately 6.2 million or nearly 27% of all ACA exchange sign-ups were improper in 2026. The analysis also estimates U.S. taxpayers will pay up to $25 billion in improper subsidies in 2026, almost a quarter of total projected ACA subsidy spending for the year.”
CHANGE? The President Endorses the Tiger. “I mean, Colombia is harboring guerrilla insurgencies and cartels whose violence spills over its borders into dozens of other countries, and it produces roughly two-thirds of all the cocaine in the world. Imagine the country having a leader who is aligned with Donald Trump and others in the region at this unique moment in time, and who is ready to actually combat all that.”
LEFTIES ALWAYS ACCUSE THEIR ENEMIES OF DOING WHAT THE LEFT IS ACTUALLY DOING:
“Elon Musk is interfering with our politics and inciting division.”
I don’t think he is mate.

YES:
"Without evidence" were the buzz words in every single news report about suspicions of voter fraud in the 20/20 election. The words were in fact inserted without evidence. Claims of malfeasance were dismissed without being examined.
Part of the broader lefty strategy we see… https://t.co/1bwRCSP01N

Key bit:
There are three basic responses to any crisis that reflects poorly on the left.
1) Shut up. You can’t say that. Accusations of racism fall under this category.
2) Denial and dismissal. “Without evidence.”
3) Utterly ignore or actively censor.
“Combinations of those tactics may be applied in any given situation. Actually examining or addressing the claims is not part of the playbook.”
DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Oregon Anti-Hunting Animal Rights Ballot Initiative Targets Hunting, Fishing, Ranching and More.
IP 28 amends Chapter 167 of the Oregon Revised Statutes by removing or narrowing exemptions that currently protect lawful hunting, fishing, trapping, livestock husbandry, commercial meat production, lawful research, wildlife management and other accepted practices. It reclassifies responsible and regulated activities as criminal animal abuse, neglect or assault.
Oregon’s current laws recognize the clear distinction between cruelty and regulated traditional activities such as hunting deer, catching salmon, raising livestock or conducting standard veterinary and animal husbandry practices. IP 28 blurs the distinctions and creates criminal liability where Oregon law now recognizes permitted conduct.
This is an anti-hunting measure. Sponsors argue wildlife should receive the same protections as companion animals, livestock and animals in research settings. But they are hiding the real meaning. It may sound reasonable, or even narrow to some voters, but the real effects are far broader. They are striking at the legal foundations permitting Oregonians to hunt, fish, manage wildlife, raise livestock and produce food.
Let’s see if Oregon voters are self-destructive enough to vote in favor.

KEVIN DOWNEY JR: The NIH Went to the Congo and All I Got Was This Lousy Monkeypox. “This story has the makings of a James Bond film: communists, mad doctors spreading dangerous viruses, and globalist toilet people behind it all. And somewhere, I suspect, is a very jealous Dr. Anthony Fauci watching from the sidelines, wishing the coach would let him play the deadly, worldwide virus game one more time.”
FROM THE DEPT. OF JUST NOT GETTING IT: Europe unveils tech sovereignty package amid growing concerns over reliance on U.S. tech: ‘We want to be sure nobody has a kill switch.’
The European Commission on Wednesday proposed a slew of rules intended to bolster homegrown chips, AI and cloud services as the bloc scrambles to develop tech sovereignty amid huge reliance on products and services from the U.S. and China.
The proposals, which must be approved by all 27 member states, include new actions to bolster advanced chip manufacturing and homegrown cloud computing.
As geopolitical tensions across the globe have ramped up, there have been growing calls for Europe to diversify away from non-European providers of critical tech, including U.S. tech companies, which currently dominate the European market.
“We cannot afford to depend on others for the technologies that keep our hospitals running, our energy grids stable and our services secure,” Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement.
Instead of repealing the innovation-strangling regulations that have made Europe an also-ran in high tech, they’ll impose even more rules.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Marco Rubio BRILLIANTLY Buzzsaws House TDS Dems During Hearing. “The cognitive decline diaper-filling was from California mental patient Ted Lieu, who has a habit of making people think that he wants the Founding Fathers to roll over in their graves.

COLD WAR II: New Mystery Submarine Signals China’s Rapid Undersea Expansion.
China is launching submarines at a pace unmatched by any other nation. Its latest design, a distinctive and innovative vessel that dispenses with the traditional sail, marks another step in the evolution of an increasingly capable and technologically advanced submarine force. With little official information available, understanding the purpose and capabilities of this new class depends largely on intelligence gathering and expert analysis.
As Western navies struggle to build more than one or two submarines concurrently, China continues to pump them out at an increasing rate. They have launched around 15-20 in the past five years, including at least 8 new classes.
Beijing is building quickly, iterating quickly, and one presumes, learning quickly.
