FLOATING TARGET OFF GAZA: Pier Pressure On Gaza’s Shore — And In Michigan

SUMMARY: The Biden administration wants to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza to save the lives of Palestinian civilians. The Biden administration wants to use a complicated military structure/system called JLOTS — acronym for Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore — to pull it off. JLOTS is a floating, temporary pier for bringing supplies from big ships to a port-less shore. Suffering Gazans could be succored by land through Egypt. Gazans could be supplied through Israel. But Hamas stands in the way. So why the pier posturing? The floating piers are campaign photo-ops for Michigan Muslim voters.

If there’s a play in New York City about one of the most horrific days in recent memory it might be a story. If said play requires a police presence to keep the stars and audience safe, that’s your lede.

MORE STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS CHICANERY. Yes, it’s unlikely that the trillion-plus in student loans are going to be paid back in full. But a giveaway to current debtors without changing the system that caused the problem is beyond foolish. And call me old-fashioned, but if we’re going to spend the money, Congress should probably vote on it.

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THIS ABOUT ISRAEL: Richard Pollock explicates a superb piece of historical reconstruction reporting in the Jerusalem Post by Alex Winston. The point is to correct the recurring crude distortion by the radical Left and Islamic Jihadists  of the truth that the movement that led to the re-founding of Israel after WWII was part of a world-wide anti-colonialism crusade.

HE NEVER CHANGES: Well, Bless Your Heart, Mitt Romney. “This is where I’d like to grab Romney by the lapel of his suitcoat, pull his face so close to mine I could see my reflection in his Brylcreem, and shout, ‘THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE IS BEHIND ALL THIS, YOU PREENING NINNY.'”

YOU DO REALIZE THAT HAMBURGERS WERE INVENTED IN GERMANY, AND ARE NAMED FOR A GERMAN CITY, RIGHT? Teaching my White Boyfriend to eat “Ethnic Food.” “When you are eating a burger in Germany, you are not eating a burger, you are fully cognizant of the fact you’re eating a bun stacked on lettuce stacked on a beef patty.”

Eating a burger when you’re not from Germany is literally cultural appropriation. Stay in your lane, bigot!

PUT NOT THY FAITH IN JUDGES: In an awful 7-2 decision today, the Supreme Court failed to uphold one of the most important constraints on executive power and okayed the bizarre funding mechanism of the CFPB (it gets its money on request from the Federal Reserve.) As I said in response, “Sadly, the Court has given the green light to Congress to abrogate its own power of the purse. We can expect future Congresses to come up with ever more inventive ways to allow the executive branch to fund its whims. The only hope for responsible government is for Congress to rediscover its own prerogatives and repeal unusual funding mechanisms for executive agencies that exercise more power over American citizens than the Post Office – starting with the CFPB.” Justices Alito and Gorsuch got the point exactly right in their dissent – there’s a reason England had a Civil War over this question.
