Reading about the attack on the Houthis, the policy considerations of Trump and Biden are not very different, but the disregard for planning rules and secrecy is astounding. All the idiots on the chats should have known better and should be canned, because they are dangerously incompetent.

Watching the Mets and Cards on SNY. The audio and video are completely out of sync. Can’t anybody play this game?

The stock is in a “correction,” because Trump is not in a correctional institution which is where he should and would be but for our corrupt Supreme Court.

I agree with the Trump Administration that the bad economic news is the effect of a transition, a transition from people who knew what they were doing to a bunch of hapless nitwits.

Mike Johnson is already blaming Schumer for his failed c.r. But he didn’t negotiate with Chuck and Chuck doesn’t control his fellow Democrats. The Republican Senate could abolish the filibuster if they were serious, but they aren’t.

The White House is furious about Trump critics asserting without direct evidence that yesterday’s episode was a premeditated trap laid by Trump and Vance intended to sink the U.S.-Ukraine alliance once and for all. Well, there’s 78 years of circumstantial evidence!

ICE arrests have declined from about 800 per day in late January to fewer than 600 during the first 13 days of February. The administration has stopped publishing daily numbers, and Trump officials said they will release the data on a monthly basis to conserve resources because arithmetic is hard.

Trump knows the “resignation” gambit is illegal and will not survive judicial review. But the “suckers and losers” who resigned will be targeted as disloyal slackers and have their lives made miserable.

The Palestinian Authority is the latest to ban Al Jazeera, following in the footsteps of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt and Israel. Did you think it was only banned by Israel?

The Democrats think they won the shutdown standoff. They didn’t. They let the Republicans back out of an agreement and then agreed with them to an even worse agreement. The Republicans won’t forget their lack of backbone and will treat them like the chumps they are.

Is anybody asking the warring parties in Syria what their plans are for the day after? Two state solution?

Here’s some simple unsolicited advice for Stellantis: retire losing brands and only sell Jeep and Ram in the US. And change that stupid name to “Jeep.”

I’ve seen articles on the World Series shares, but none breaks it down by player. For example, what was part year player Tommy Edman’s share?

Let’s talk about Pete Hegseth. Hegseth has been accused of following in the footsteps of Bill Cosby, putting something in a woman’s drink and then having his way with her. While Hegseth may not belong in jail, he most certainly doesn’t belong in the Cabinet. The Senate should reject him.
