Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

Tough sell: We're at war, prices are skyrocketing, we're about to have a gas shortage, no one coming out of college can get a jobโ€“but, dang, those men in the women's room ...

Complaining about masculinity being canceled and then starting a world war is not at all impressive.

Yesterday I observed 15 shackled detainees being loaded on the ICE Air flight at MSP. In this clip, as the last one hobbles on, staff put away a full-body WRAP restraint, which had been laid out next to the airstairs.

For people who blather so much about Western Civilization and how theyโ€™re supposedly saving it, itโ€™s like theyโ€™ve never heard of the canonical Ancient Greek concept of โ€œhubris.โ€

The Trump Administration canโ€™t even impose its will on Minneapolis when the full force of the federal government was focused on it, but surely they will be able to pacify and remake Iran, a nation of 90 million people halfway around the world.

Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out
Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out YouTube video by JoeJacksonVEVO

At once impeccably cool and aggressively unfashionable, Joe Jacksonโ€™s Steppinโ€™ Out is four minutes of nightmare disco and nightclub jitters which paves the way from โ€˜Goodbye Yellow Brick Roadโ€™ to the Magnetic Fields. Detours through Motown and Freud. A perfect single. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJwt...

Updating the occupation/medical comparison for March:

Now it's like when things are *slightly* better and you're just out of the hospital. You're still *pretty damn sick*โ€”but now everyone expects you to do normal things, not just focus on surviving. You have less support. In some ways it's harder.

Trump couldn't care less about Americans. To him, we are and always have been no-names, extras, the cost of doing business. He won't lose a minute of sleep over an American life, or over a thousand of them.

Take Action Now: Call Mayor Frey and tell him to support Pause Evictions, Save Lives passed by the city council on 3/5/2026.

Mayor Frey: 612-673-2100

Sample Script: "I am calling to ask Mayor Frey to commit to supporting an extension of the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days. Countless neighbors are at immediate risk of displacement and this measure is the bare minimum the City can do to protect our neighbors. Can I count on his support?"

Today, the Mpls City Council passed the Pause Evictions, Save Lives ordinance, which would extend the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days.

Take action now and call Mayor Frey (612-673-2100) and tell him to stand with our neighbors and extend the pre-eviction filing period.

One of the elementary schools in Talmageโ€™s school district had an ICE car drive around and then try to park in the parking lot this morning before being chased away.

Anyway, can someone remind me who the heads of the DHS and FBI are at the moment?

Surely they will stop any such an attack.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

CNN: Approval for President Trump's East Wing ballroom project โ€“ from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation's capital โ€“ is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.
