GOOD:  Trump Threatens Russia With Sanctions, Tariffs Until Putin Agrees to Ceasefire.

DUMBEST THING … SO FAR:  Top House Dem Probably Said the Dumbest Thing Regarding Trans Athletes and Women’s Sports.

PROBABLY:  Did Biden Nix Plans for SpaceX to Bring Boeing Starliner Astronauts Home Sooner?

A DIFFERENT VIEW (AND IT MIGHT BE RIGHT):  SCOTUS outmaneuvers Judge Ali; Dem senatorial embarassment; progressives meltdown over Trump; Dem chaos nears collapse; ActBlue under fire; EU scrambles; Trump’s strategy unfolds; viral ex-Dem video.

THE LEFT IS GRIFT ALL THE WAY DOWN:  Independent Audit Shows Los Angeles Can’t Account For $2.5 Billion Supposedly Directed to Combat Homelessness.

DIDN’T BIDEN CLAIM HE’D PUT MAXIMUM SANCTIONS ON PUTIN?  Trump Threatens Russia With New Sanctions.

THIS: Louis L’Amour’s son, Beau, saw my video on men’s fiction. He got in touch and shared some of his insights from working in publishing industry as he managed his dad’s estate and legacy.

And if you’re x-less.

IT’S TIME TO WIN THE CULTURE WAR, GUYS:  Why We Must Claim Games Instead Of Canceling KCD 2 And Media Like It. (It’s a video)

AND CRINGE IS ALL THEY HAVE, AND WE CAN’T MAKE THEM GO AWAY:  The Democrats’ Cringe Parade: A Week of Absurdity. (it’s a video.)

IT IS PRECISELY WHAT I THOUGHT:  Why Biden administration might not have been the kind of bad we thought.

WELL, GOOD:  Trump administration cancels $400M in grants and contracts with Columbia University.

SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT: Rep Tim Burchett says he’s willing to lose his job to tell us the REAL REASON government officials are opposing Elon Musk and DOGE “They’re gonna push back because you’ve got Congressmen on both sides of the aisle. If they follow that paper trail, it’s going to come back to them. You’ve got their wife and or girlfriend that works for some agency, quasi-agency or some business. This towns as crooked as a dogs leg”

And if you just ain’t got no x.

NOT REALLY. i KNOW IT WILL SHOCK YOU, BUT MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO KEEP GOVERNMENT OFF OUR FOOD:  In Which I Go Maha!

IN THE END, THE CHURCH WILL BE ALL RIGHT. THE YOUNG PRIESTS MAKE ME SEEM LIKE A HIPPIE COMMIE. BUT THIS TURN? I PRAY FOR A MIRACLE. I PRAY FOR A CATHOLIC POPE:  The Next Pope.

ONCE MORE FROM THE TOP, WORDS ARE NOT STICKS AND STONES:  Free speech versus violence.

GENOCIDE:

An actual genocide is currently being perpetrated by the Syrian Islamist regime against Syrian Christians, Druze, and Alawites, and barely anybody is talking about it.

More people need to start speaking up.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

HMM: Space Force general: ‘Golden Dome’ missile shield requires Manhattan Project-scale effort.

SO MUCH VINDICATION: And the new FDA commissioner is…. Marty Makary. First the Bhattacharya appointment, now this.

PROGRESS: DHS Ends Collective Bargaining for the TSA.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT I’M THINKING? The ISS Has a Hygiene Problem, But It’s Not What You’d Think.

ILYA SHAPIRO: Trump Is Right to Deport Hamas Supporters: Federal law authorizes denying or revoking the visa of anyone who supports terrorist activity.

VETTING:

I think it’s kinda crazy how you’ll never see a “Michael Brady” or “James McDougall” serving in the CCP army but we have Li Tian’s and Jian Zhao’s serving in ours (and committing treason)

There needs to be better vetting https://t.co/CTxjQPGcbQ

UPDATE: A friend writes:

Shoot them. That’s the normal thing to do. But that way they can’t be traded next time the Democrats are in power. And issue an advisory against Americans going to China, lest they get nabbed on trumped up charges like Putin does. A bit of a shot across the Chinese bow.

Any of these other spies we can shoot? Shoot as many as possible.

Actually, spies traditionally are hanged. Hang them. On TikTok.

Sort of a 21st century gibbeting. So that everyone else gets the message.

if they got these three, there must be a shit-ton of others, and probably not that hard to root out.

Hang them, too.

As a Uighur woman replied, when I said they must think we’re stupid, “They do.”
Not sure most people get, there’s a war going on. And we’re not fighting it.

I think we’re starting too. And good point about prisoners. Even The Simpsons has warned about the dangers of the Democrats getting back in power:

LOL, THAT WOULD REQUIRE SOME SORT OF ACTUAL PRINCIPLES:

Is there a protest held tomorrow at @Columbia to speak out against these horrors? https://t.co/5590oZYIYl
