LOL, MAMDANI IS SUDDENLY ANTI-TERRORISM:

When a radical Muslim threw an honest-to-God BOMB at American citizens in New York City…

3 weeks ago I argued the US goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot. Venezuela in January -> Iran in February.

Neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days. Achieve a compliant successor government and complete energy dominance.

Excerpt: “This war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro/LNG-dollar. The old system was built on Saudi crude priced in USD. The new system is built on American crude plus American gas from the Gulf Coast, with no alternative supplier of comparable scale. The dependency is deeper because LNG infrastructure requires long term contracts & regasification terminals that lock buyers into supply relationships for decades. Europe & the Pacific allies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) cannot pivot away as there is nowhere left to pivot to. They’re now locked into the US energy system.”

NBC: NASA’s make-or-break moon shot: The Artemis program is years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget. Could a successful mission quiet its critics?

NASA — and especially the contractors — hope so. But even a “successful” mission won’t fix the absurd and unsustainable costs of this vehicle.

I expressed my concerns here.

DEAR JIMMY KIMMEL: YOU’RE GARBAGE. YOU’RE NOT FUNNY, AND YOU’RE NOT EVEN A GOOD POLITICAL PROPAGANDIST.

Jimmy Kimmel tried to clean up his comments about Markwayne Mullin being a former plumber, but he tried to have it both ways.

You do a decent job of retailing class-snobbery for downwardly mobiles, though, which is what most of your audience is actually there for.

A SMALL VICTORY FOR STANDARDS: San Francisco Reinstates 8th-Grade Algebra After ‘Equity’ Experiment Fails.

#WINNING: Senate approves deal to end DHS shutdown without Democratic immigration demands. “The last-ditch deal does not include any of the demands Democrats have placed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — including that agents be barred from wearing masks and operate under tougher warrant requirements to detain illegal migrants. The bill does not provide funding for ICE or Border Patrol, but those subagencies already received billions of dollars under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed into law by President Trump this past July and immigration enforcement has gone on uninterrupted by the shutdown.”

WELL, THEN: Democrats Have Already Killed the Filibuster.

A SMALL MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY: Florida Democrat Could Be Expelled from Congress.

MUELLER WAS DIRTY AND SO WAS HIS ORGANIZATION: The Mueller Special Counsel’s “Investigation” of Gen. Flynn Was Its Most Egregious Abuse of Prosecutorial Authority. The Obama Admin.

FLASHBACK: RANDY BARNETT ON LIBERTARIANISM’S FAILURES:

I see five distinct ways that libertarian theory needs to up its game.

First, the need for natural law ethics in addition to natural rights; second, the need to distinguish between libertarian ideal theory and second-best libertarianism in a world of governments and competing nations; third, the need for a libertarian theory of citizenship and civil rights; fourth, the need to separate the public-private binary from the government-nongovernment binary; and fifth, the need for a more refined theory of corporate power and corporate rights.

Let me offer a few words about each.
