GOES? THIS MEANS THEY STOPPED AT SOME POINT? Musk posts a silly tweet saying Trump wants SpaceX to rescue the Starliner astronauts and the press goes stupid again.
IRONICALLY IF THEY HADN’T WORKED SO HARD TO STEAL THE ELECTION IN 2020 THEY’D NOW EITHER HAVE MIKE PENCE OR ONE OF THEIR OWN IN POWER. IN EITHER CASE, THEIR AGENDA WOULD BE TRIUMPHANT: Instead, they chose the form of their destructor. This is how you do it.

It was an American Airlines flight from Wichita.
OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
DEVELOPING: All flights halted at Reagan National Airport due to plane crash. “DC Fire and EMS say, on Wednesday night a small plane went down near the airport landing in the Potomac River. All flights at Reagan National have been halted as rescue crews work to find victims from the plane. At this time it is unclear what caused the plane to go down.”
FREDDIE DE BOER: I Told You: Chaos is Coming. “I’ve been saying for some time: that violence is coming, and that people will find a way to package it with meaning. They want to. They need to. They have to believe that it comes from something other than themselves.”
There’s always “chaos” when the left is unhappy. I don’t believe that it will be as easy for them this time as in the past.

THE MEAN GIRLS OF LIBERAL MEDIA: A New York magazine hit-piece on the alleged ‘cruelty’ of Trump supporters has backfired spectacularly.
Notably, the article twice references a supposed lack of non-white guests at different pro-Trump parties. However, it has since transpired that the magazine cropped out several black party-goers from the cover photograph. Black Republican CJ Pearson posted on X that he actually hosted the event in the photo. He says that New York magazine ‘intentionally left me out of their story because it would have undermined [its] narrative that MAGA is some racist cult’.
Even more damning, Pearson said that the New York article purposefully neglects to mention some of the party’s high-profile black attendees. Waka Flocka Flame, a black rapper with almost two million followers on X, gets only a fleeting mention. Gervonta Davis, a black professional boxer with eight million Instagram followers, isn’t mentioned at all. These oversights were not simply careless. This is bad faith.
Perhaps the most hilarious part of this story is that, by the end of the article, its author – a they / them from Brooklyn called Brock Colyar – seems to have been won over by the MAGA party-goers to some extent. Reading the article, you can see in real time as the scales fall from his eyes. He goes to a party for young Republicans and finds that ‘they are drinking, smoking, flirting, networking’. Wow. It’s almost like these are just young people, celebrating in ways young people always have done.
Remember how, a few months ago, social media were awash in hysteria about how Trump will open up gay concentration camps? Well, Mx Colyar finds at one party, to his surprise, that ‘it is entirely possible, in this world, to be very gay’. The MAGA youth that Colyar speaks to have no issue with ‘normal gays’, as one young man calls them, and only object to things like pronouns and Pride flags being shoved down their throats.

UPDATE:
What makes Bob Menendez a true legend of New Jersey politics is how he spent years fighting federal criminal charges, beat them, and then turned around and got right back to crimin' again the instant he did. The man was *committed* to his grift. It was in his heart all along.

TRUMP’S CIVIL SERVICE CRITICS SHOULD READ THE LAW: Specifically, the Pendleton Act of 1883 that established what we know today as the federal government career civil service.
Yes, bureaucrats are to be hired, promoted and fired strictly on the basis of their professional skills and not in any way connected to their political views. And guess who decides how that skills-based process is to be administered? The guy in the Oval Office. It’s my latest PJ Media column.
