THAT’S WHAT LEFTIES DO: Nurse Bloomberg Is Destroying 3D Printing. “‘No person, firm, partnership, association, or corporation shall sell or deliver any three-dimensional printer in the state of New York unless such printer is equipped with blocking technology that is going to be able to tell if you’re printing a firearm or a firearm part.’ And the definition of 3D printer is so wide. Any machine capable of rendering a three-dimensional object from a digital design file using additive or subtractive manufacturing. This means that dental devices, construction devices, food devices, jewelry devices, all different types of CNC mills are going to be covered under this and they would have to have the spyware installed.”

The aircraft is next due to begin an acoustic validation phase to confirm its slender shape and long nose work as designed to produce a low intensity, sine-wave-shaped sonic boom.”

THANKS, FELLAS: IDF says it killed Hezbollah commander tied to 2007 murder of US soldiers.

The IDF said Sunday that it killed senior Hezbollah commander Ali Musa Daqduq in a precise strike south of the Litani River in southern Lebanon over the weekend.

According to the military, Daqduq was a senior Hezbollah commander and a veteran source of operational knowledge within the terrorist organization, having held a series of senior posts over the years.

The IDF said that in recent years, Daqduq played a central role in advancing terrorist attacks and combat operations against Israel and IDF soldiers, including operational planning along the Lebanon border.

Israel can’t afford to slack off against Hezbollah now.

WOW: Spencer Pratt Says He and Mayor Bass’ Brother Are Suing Karen Bass.

METAPHOR ALERT: Obama Presidential Center’s $470M safety net under scrutiny as subcontractors say they’re owed millions.

Concern is mounting that taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the Obama Presidential Center runs into financial trouble, as the foundation behind it has yet to establish a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout.

The scrutiny comes as a Fox News Digital investigation found multiple contractors and subcontractors claiming losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions on the project, with some alleging they remain locked in payment disputes and face financial ruin just days before the center’s grand opening.

Under its agreement with the city, the Obama Foundation pledged to create the fund, known as an endowment, as part of its 99-year deal to take control of the publicly owned 19.3-acre section of Jackson Park for a one-time payment of just $10.

Fox News Digital previously reported that the foundation had deposited just $1 million into the reserve fund in 2021 and that the balance remained largely unchanged in its most recent publicly available filings.

Exit quote: “Grogan said reports that contractors remain unpaid only reinforce the need for closer scrutiny and called for an investigation if allegations that subcontractors were left holding the bag prove accurate.”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Sane People Aren’t Triggered by Elon Musk’s Wealth. “Their hatred isn’t distributed evenly among the super-rich, of course. No one in the Democratic Party is upset with George Soros, for example. We don’t hear many complaints about Bill Gates from them either. It’s more than Musk’s money that sends them spiraling though. They’re harboring a lot of resentment because Musk broke the stranglehold they had on the social media false narrative machine when he purchased Twitter. His work with DOGE at the beginning of President Trump’s current term was a direct attack on their god: the federal government.”

MUST BE A PRETTY GOOD LIST: Beijing blasts Pentagon’s latest Chinese military company list. “The Defense Department’s updated 1260H list, published Monday, classified dozens of new companies and their subsidiaries, including e-commerce giants Alibaba and Baidu, and the electric vehicle manufacturer — and major Tesla rival — BYD, as ‘Chinese military companies operating in the United States.’ The listing doesn’t bar them from operating in the U.S., but it prohibits them from doing business with the Pentagon and imposes a reputational stigma at a time of rising concerns about Chinese espionage operations. The intelligence agencies of Britain, the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand warned last week that China is increasingly using professional networking sites and job platforms — including LinkedIn and Indeed — to gain access to classified information.”

TIM O’BRIEN: Elon Musk and the Politics of Envy “Envy is the lifeblood of leftist politics, and Musk is merely their latest, biggest, and most convenient target. But it’s worth being reminded that to the left, you are no different than Elon Musk. Let me explain.”

2028 PREVIEW: Support broadens beyond Harris, Newsom in Democratic primary poll.

In the latest The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll conducted from June 4-6 among registered voters who identify as Democrats and left-leaning Independents, Harris maintained a strong lead, capturing the support of 27% of the 1,224 polled. Newsom was a distant second among the names listed, with 14% support.

But both Harris and Newsom have slipped from where they landed in October and March Voters’ Voice Polls. Harris was at 33% in the fall, 31% in March and is now at 27%; Newsom had 21% in the fall, then 16% in March, and now, 14%.

Looks like an opportunity for a DLC-style moderate to step in, but they seem to have been hunted to extinction.
