KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Well, It’s Been Fun — Trump’s Commie Labor Pick Confirmed. “That’s where everything gets weird for me. President Trump has been very clear about his desire to dismantle the Department of Education, yet he’s now got teachers’ union fave in his cabinet. That seems like a whole lot of cross-purposes there.”

ANALYSIS: TRUE.
If we are having a recession over a decline in govt spending, then the GDP wasn't real to begin with.
The US govt has a $2 trillion annual budget deficit. That is basically $2 trillion of artificial GDP that is funded by more debt.
Removing $2 trillion of GDP is where the…

WHAT WERE THOSE SHARED IDEALS AGAIN? Matt Taibbi: After Romanian Election Mess, The West’s Foundation is Crumbling.
To be more accurate, it is being revealed that the West’s foundation was replaced a while ago by bureaucracy and cronyism. The hysterical reaction to “populism” is based on a quite reasonable fear of what the populace will do when it finds out what has been done to it.
DON SURBER: How Trump Thwarted Democrats. “Democrats thought Trump’s second presidency would be a repeat of his first. They cornered him last time by triangulating lawsuits, the bureaucrats and RINOs to stymie a president they believed unworthy of the title. Republicans in the Senate saddled the newbie with a Cabinet of Termites. He trusted them. Bigly yuge mistake. Ha ha ha. 8 years later, the establishment has not changed its playbook. Football may be a game of inches, but politics is a game of adjustments. Trump adjusted.”
HERE’S A BILLION DOLLARS FOR YOU, MR. MUSK: Yesterday, Pete Kirsanow, Dan Morenoff and I sent a letter to Congressional Leaders about the unconstitutional Minority Serving Institution programs. Did you know that if at least 25% of a college or university’s students are Hispanic, it is eligible for a pile of money that schools with less than 25% cannot access? There is no requirement that the school prove that either it or its students have ever been discriminated against on account of race or ethnicity. Absurd and unconstitutional.
POINT AND COUNTERPOINT: Point: Ilya Somin: The Case Against Deporting Immigrants for “Pro-Terrorist” Speech.
I would dispute that we are deporting immigrants for “speech” when it involved violent protests in which buildings were seized and occupied and people were violently assaulted and harassed. This wasn’t marching around with a sign. I would be against deporting people for the latter, though the law on it is not clear.
But anyway, here you have it: The long-awaited “battling Ilyas” cage match!
CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN: Homeland Security overhauls its asylum phone app. Now it’s for ‘self-deportation.’
The Trump administration has unveiled an overhauled cellphone app once used to let migrants apply for asylum, turning it into a system that allows people living illegally in the U.S. to say they want to leave the country voluntarily.
The renamed app, announced Monday and now called CBP Home, is part of the administration’s campaign to encourage “self-deportations, ” touted as an easy and cost-effective way to nudge along President Donald Trump’s push to deport millions of immigrants without legal status.
“The app provides illegal aliens in the United States with a straightforward way to declare their intent to voluntarily depart, offering them the chance to leave before facing harsher consequences,” Pete Flores, the acting commissioner for U.S Customs and Border Protection, said in a statement.
Moments after Trump took office, the earlier version of the app, CBP One, stopped allowing migrants to apply for asylum, and tens of thousands of border appointments were canceled.
Left unmentioned by the AP report: CBP One was created by the Biden administration as a way of facilitating illegals.
JONATHAN TURLEY: Panic Politics: Law Professors’ Umpteenth ‘Constitutional Crisis’ Falls Flat.
So — what happens if the “experts” hold a crisis and no one shows up?
After years of such claims, the perpetual crisis has left a dwindling number of people inclined to panic. Many simply have more pressing matters at the moment and have the same reaction of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger: “There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.”
The latest letter follows a familiar pattern that has played out like a political perpetual motion machine since the first Trump impeachment. It works something like this: A legal academy composed of largely liberal academics announces a “constitutional crisis” caused by conservatives, and then a largely liberal media runs the story with little scrutiny or skepticism. On most echo-chambered media sites, the public rarely hears an opposing view.
The purging of conservative and libertarian faculty from most universities has been a long-standing problem. In self-identified surveys, professors confirm that some departments lack a single Republican. A study by Georgetown University’s Kevin Tobia and MIT’s Eric Martinez found that only 9 percent of law school professors in the top 50 law schools identify as conservative.
Law schools are not unique. A survey conducted by the Harvard Crimson shows that more than three-quarters of Harvard Arts and Sciences and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences faculty respondents identified as “liberal” or “very liberal.” Only 2.5 percent identified as “conservative,” and only 0.4 percent as “very conservative.” A 2017 study found that only 15 percent of faculty members were conservative. Another analysis found that 33 out of 65 departments lacked even a single conservative faculty member.
In other words, it is embarrassingly easy to get 1,000 law professors to sign off on letters claiming endless constitutional crises caused by Trump or conservatives.
Those letters are then fed to eagerly awaiting media outlets. The perpetual machine then whirls and spins as liberal professors feed liberal reporters, who then feed liberals in Congress, who cite the unchallenged consensus of academia and the media.
This worked until people tuned out the media, which they have done, and lost respect for academics, which they also have done.
YEP. I’M SURE HE ANTICIPATED ALL THIS STUFF AND HAS A PLAN.
Elon is obviously over the target.
That’s why they keep attacking him with paid protests against DOGE, Tesla dealership terrorist attacks, and X cyberattacks.
These attacks will backfire like they always do. We will all support Elon, X, and DOGE even harder now.
