KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Memorial Day Reflections. “Now that we’re mired in Let’s Go Brandonland, I’ve been thinking this weekend about what those who gave their lives defending this country would think about what’s going on now. I wouldn’t presume to speak for the fallen but I also know I can’t be the only one pondering such things.”

FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY: I’d Like to Report a Criminal President. “There’s a lesson in this silly little tale: Even guys drunk enough to think El Chapo should be released from prison have enough wits about the to know that Joe Biden belongs there.”
LANDO CALRISSIAN WAS NOT REACHED FOR COMMENT: Lucasfilm prepped Star Wars actress against ‘racist’ blowback for Obi-Wan role. “In her interview with the Independent, the ‘Obi-Wan’ actress tackles diversity issues in the franchise. ‘To me, it’s long overdue. If you’ve got talking droids and aliens, but no people of colour, it doesn’t make any sense. It’s 2022, you know. So we’re just at the beginning of that change. But I think to start that change is better than never having started it.'”
The trailer looked good, no signs of the wokeness infecting everything in the new Disney-fied Star Wars (except for The Mandolorian) universe.
But this report all but guarantees that Obi-Wan is more of the same tripe that older fans have turned our backs on.
PENNSYLVANIA: John Fetterman got a defibrillator after his stroke. But doctors say the campaign’s story ‘doesn’t make sense.’ “With Fetterman now the Democratic nominee in one of the most competitive and consequential Senate races in the country, the unanswered questions about his health have left some Democrats anxious — and cardiologists watching from the outside puzzled.”
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS: Homeland Security Agents Tell of Encounters With Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. “According to sources The Debrief has interviewed, these incidents include encounters with aerial objects that appear to perform maneuvers well beyond the capabilities of conventional aircraft. Some of these events, which were also captured on video, have left a number of veteran pilots and other personnel questioning the nature and origin of these objects.”

HIS LOWEST APPROVAL RATE SO FAR: Biden approval falls below every modern president. “Former Presidents Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Gerald Ford had lower average approval ratings at some stage early in their presidencies, but Biden has caught up, and today’s average was the first for which he was below all presidents since Truman, a potentially troubling trend as Democrats ready for the midterm elections.”
Washington exists to protect the nomenklatura’s prerogatives, not the people’s lives, liberty, or property.

THAT’S A SHAME: The U.S. Army’s Mind-Bending 1,000-Mile Super Gun Is Officially Dead. “SLRC could have struck targets up to 1,150 miles away, much farther than any other cannon ever built.”
PAULA BOLYARD: Timeline Shifts AGAIN in Uvalde School Shooting. “It’s not unusual to see new facts emerge and shifting timelines in the wake of such a horrific attack. The fog of war makes it difficult to piece together a moment-by-moment account of how a situation unfolded. It will likely take weeks or even months before we know how things really transpired. Nevertheless, the information we do have raises questions about the police response to the shooting.”
IT’S STARLINK: Tracking China’s Hypersonic Missiles – After Moscow, Beijing Threatens To Neutralize America’s ‘Greatest Wartime Asset.’
China must acquire the capability to track, monitor, and, if required, kill all Starlink satellites in orbit around the Earth, reported SCMP, citing a study published last month.
The study states: “A combination of soft and hard kill methods should be adopted to make some Starlink satellites lose their functions and destroy the constellation’s operating system.”
SpaceX operates the Starlink satellite constellation system. It currently employs over 2,400 low-earth orbit satellites capable of providing high-speed internet anywhere globally.
The system has been credited with providing the internet to some of the world’s most remote areas. Elon Musk, the CEO, intends to deploy as many as 30,000 satellites over the next decade.
The US Department of Defense has also inked a deal with SpaceX to use the Starlink platform for military purposes. This agreement includes creating sensors for tracking hypersonic missiles, which China already has in its arsenal.
A Great Power nation-state gearing its military towards undoing the work of a privately-held company might be unprecedented.
FLASHBACK: Two teens arrested in ‘mass casualty’ plot in 2018 targeting a Uvalde middle school.
Two Uvalde teens were recently arrested for Conspiracy to Commit Murder after officers said they foiled a mass-shooting plot the pair had schemed.
A press release obtained by KENS 5 thoroughly chronicles events leading up to an investigation performed by the Uvalde Police Department and the Texas Rangers.
In the press release, Uvalde Chief of Police Daniel Rodriguez said that a Morales Junior High School student, 14, and a former Morales student, 13, had specifically targeted numerous students in what they described as a plan to perform a “mass casualty event against the school.”
Authorities said the students were motivated in large part by the Columbine shootings.
Uvalde might have been yet another “known wolf” situation but we just can’t say for sure yet.
UPDATE: From the comments, the Daily Mail is on this story in a way the US press isn’t yet: Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales says Uvalde gunman was arrested FOUR YEARS ago after telling people he planned to ‘shoot up a school once he’s a senior in 2022.’
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Disturbing Questions but Very Few Answers Regarding Uvalde Tragedy. “It’s well known that I am very pro-law enforcement (see yesterday’s Briefing) but this is really upsetting — especially the way the parents were treated. This flailing by law enforcement officials about what actually happened must be adding to the torture of the grieving parents.”
