DAVID BARON, CALL YOUR OFFICE:

HEH. IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE IT’S TRUE.

CHEERFUL STORY DEPT: Defensive Gun Use: Homeowner’s Gun vs. Midnight Moron. “Our fearless homeowner, clearly in no mood for the early morning demands of a wacko, grabbed his firearm and called the cops. He also delivered a clear warning to the window breaker to cease the unlawful behavior. Or else. ‘Go Away! I’m armed. Police are on the way.’ Mr. Window-Smasher didn’t listen and broke out the window and commenced to enter the home. The homeowner, living out every “What would you do if…?” scenario Reddit loves to argue over, did exactly what was needed to stop the violent and illegal entry. He fired to stop the attack.”

Just think of it as evolution in action.

ONE DAY YOU’RE WALKING WITH COMRADE STALIN, THE NEXT DAY YOU’RE AIRBRUSHED OUT OF EXISTENCE.

PRETENTIOUS BUT HOLLOW:

“Dude, don’t judge us. We’re bombing places you can’t even find on a map.”

I FEEL CONFIDENT IN SAYING THAT THIS IS A BAD IDEA:

JOHN ROBERTS, PAY ATTENTION!

Roberts complains about criticism of federal judges, but the above comes from one of America’s leading constitutional scholars, not some crank.

And it’s correct. If Roberts doesn’t wish to provide over the dissolution of Article III, he needs to do something about the politicization of the judiciary, not complain about the people pointing it out.

THREAD:

People still think of the Strait as a vital lifeline for the United States, but as the world’s biggest producer — now outproducing Saudi Arabia and Russia combined — we don’t need the oil. (Plus more from Venezuela is coming online daily). As a net exporter, we benefit from less competition.

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
