OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s groovy.

THE PJ CREW IS LIVEBLOGGING THIS, but I have to say that Trump looks great. He looks better than he looked 8 years ago, and for that matter better than Obama, who’s a much younger man. And as for comparisons with Joe Biden, well . . .

Plus:

UPDATE: Okay, I have to say Nancy Pelosi’s expression when they cut to her right after President Trump said “make America great again” was worth the whole previous four years.

All right, Ilhan Omar’s expression when he announced the end to DEI wass a close second.

And pretty sure that this is a photoshop, but it should be real.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

Grampa Simpson. At least he wasn’t evil.

HOW BIDEN-HARRIS IGNORED CONGRESS: Next time you hear a Democrat decrying the destruction of democracy by the Trump administration, remind them of how the Biden-Harris administration repeatedly and systematically ignored, delayed, diverted and outright refused constitutionally mandated congressional oversight by the people’s branch of the government.

The Heritage Foundation’s Dr. Robert Moffit lays it out in undeniable detail. This particular post is the fifth in an eight-part series on Restoring Public Trust in Public Health, published by The Daily Signal.

I HATE THE PROLIFERATION OF SCREENS: To Screen, or Not to Screen? “Last week Matt P. brought you a report showing the chief of design at Mercedes-Benz grumbling about the proliferation of screens in modern automobiles.”

Not so long ago, if I wanted to adjust the heat in my car, or the volume on my car radio, I could grab a nice, simple knob. Turn it to the right, and the car got warmer, or the radio got louder. Turn it the other way, and the opposite occurred. I could always sense how far I was adjusting things—without ever taking my eyes off the road—because millions of years of evolution have produced a neurological feedback mechanism that lets me know just how much I’m turning my wrist.

Easy, effective, intuitive. That’s simply good design, right? You’d think. But in most late-model cars, making those kinds of adjustments requires pushing buttons multiple times, or navigating menus within menus, and—almost always—taking your eyes off the road.

My thoughts.

YOUR SCIENTISTS WERE SO PREOCCUPIED WITH WHETHER OR NOT THEY COULD, THEY DIDN’T STOP TO THINK IF THEY SHOULD:

They are awfully cute, though.

THE CRITICAL DRINKER: So The Oscars Happened, I Guess… (Video.) “There was an almost tangible feeling of unease this year, like they were some unproductive employee that knows their boss is watching their every move and is desperate not to attract any more attention to themselves. And you know what? I’m perfectly fine with that, because they 100% deserve this. They got too big for their boots, they overestimated their own importance and cultural power, and now they’re learning the hard way that they serve us not the other way around. A few more years of this and they might just learn their place at last.”

LEFT UNSAID: WHY THAT ISN’T HAPPENING.

For all the screeching about “genocide” or whatever, Israelis and/or Jews are among the world’s most civilized people.
