YOU DON’T HAVE TO KEEP SELLING ME, I ALREADY VOTED FOR HIM:

NOVEMBER PREVIEW: Trump takes his war against Thomas Massie straight to his home Kentucky home district.

Trump endorsed Massie’s primary opponent, Ed Gallrein, who will be at the event in Hebron, Ky., per his campaign. The president will also be making a stop in Ohio.

“You can have differences, but you have to be constructive. He is not constructive. In fact, he’s the Democrats’ favorite member,” a senior administration official told The Post.

Massie has outraged the White House on multiple occasions: he refused to support Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which was the president’s signature domestic policy agenda; he criticized Trump’s foreign policy and accused him of executive overreach on the attacks on drug boats and Iran; and he led the charge on demanding the Justice Department release all its files in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Now Trump is going to Massie’s district along the Ohio River to campaign against him, with the primary election just a little more than two months away, on May 19th.

BLUE STATE BLUES:

MORE NUKES IS GOOD NUKES: NRC Issues Construction Permit for TerraPower’s Natrium Advanced Reactor. “This is the first construction permit ever issued by the NRC for a commercial non-light-water power reactor and represents a historic step toward deployment of a new generation of advanced reactors in the United States.’

Faster, please.

DON’T BE SO QUICK TO REPLACE HUMANS WITH AI:

Always, always, always keep a human in the loop.

NICE:

We still weren’t properly prepared for Shahed drones though, even after years of watching the Russo-Ukraine War,

MY X FEED HAS SEEMED MUCH IMPROVED LATELY:

THAT THING THAT NEVER HAPPENS JUST HAPPENED SEVEN MORE TIMES: ICE arrests illegal migrant who allegedly fraudulently voted in seven federal elections. “DHS said Mahady Sacko, who came to the United States illegally from the African country of Mauritania, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and the FBI in Philadelphia. He has been charged with voter fraud.”

DHS using “criminal illegal alien” in its statement is a nice change from the Biden years.

HMM:

I guess if it’s bigger than Operation Grim Beeper, eventually we’ll find out what it was.

IT’S NOT JUST THAT HE’S WRONG AND LIES ALL THE TIME NOW, IT’S THAT HE MAKES NO SENSE:

Your guess is as good as mine as to what happened, but Drunk Republican added, “Either an aneurysm or checks from overseas, I can’t figure out which.”

BATTLESWARM: Iran Strikes Day 10. “Oil spikes then falls, Iran gets a new theoretical Supreme Leader, China’s low cost GPS substitute is just as crappy as their other MilTech, the gulf states are investing in Ukrainian MilTech, and Habitual Linecrosser tries to cut through the fog of war.”

MEET THE PRESS:

The news was better when reporters were grizzled old guys with drinking problems and well-tuned BS detectors.

THE LEFT DESTROYS EVERYTHING:

BLUE STATE BLUES: Yamaha pulling out of California after nearly half a century: HQ headed to Georgia.

After nearly 50 years in Orange County, Yamaha Motor Corp. USA is packing up its headquarters — trading Cypress, California for Kennesaw, Georgia in a sweeping corporate shift that will impact about 250 workers.

The motorcycle and motorsports giant says the move is part of major “structural reforms” meant to boost profits as costs climb — including pressure from tariffs imposed during the administration of President Donald Trump and shifting market conditions.

The relocation won’t happen overnight. Yamaha plans to start the exit in late 2026, with the transition stretching into 2028.

Company spokesman Bob Starr said consolidating operations in Georgia simply makes business sense.

“In terms of efficiency, to have us all together in Georgia — all the functions of the business — it makes a lot of sense,” Starr said.

The departure marks another corporate blow for Cypress.

Back in 2019, Mitsubishi Motors North America ditched its longtime HQ in the city after 31 years, moving roughly 200 jobs to Franklin, Tennessee to cut costs.

California used to be a great place to do business, but then it became a deep blue state.
