Even though...
He's gonna run out of carrier battle groups pretty soon...
I find this to be an amazing portrayal of intelligence tradecarft. Wonder where they git this stuff. www.ndtv.com/world-news/i...
Over on X, this guy was on target before the war started.
I needed this thread. Funny!
Ezra Klein in the NYT on how the impact of AI is about to accelerate. Agents > Chatbots. Good piece. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/o...
All true. But let's be clear: a tariff is paid by the US importer as their goods clear customs at POE; payment is most often an electronic transfer to Treasury; Treasury has a receipt for all such transactions and can refund all if that becomes policy; importer decides what to do with the $.
MAGA is a reservoir of hate and resentment, and Trump tries hard to be their champion. So, yes.
Importer of record is also tariff payer of record.
Yes, media outlets are going to spend the next 36 hours displaying it for all to see. Pathetic.
Very polished. Ossoff is rightly doing more of this lately.
Sobering thoughts on what we might have in mind for Cuba.
Meanwhile, over on X...

Has anyone collected the names of the 250 most likely ex-cons or former criminals, and current residents of southeastern AZ, to be associated with a kidnapping? The police ought to have a pool of most likely suspects against which to cross check other evidence.
The Guardian.
The surge in independents began way back in 2008 and continues.
WaPo:

Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics
Good times.
Trump's DOJ interferes by injecting itself into the early vote counting, so that there is no record of the original vote. I imagine that if they do this, it will occcur in some strategically pre-selected swing districts.
Igor Bobic @igorbobic Tillis warns that sending ICE to the polls in November, as Steve Bannon suggested, could have “a chilling effect” on voting: “I think there's an estimated 60 million Hispanics legally present in this country. We have seen some apprehensions of legally present people…I think it can have a chilling effect on even US citizens going to the polls because they don't want to be detained and have to prove citizenship.”
he's so close to figuring it out!
"Trump's overall approval rating remains low at 39%, with 56% disapproving, and a whopping 51% strongly disapproving. That's the highest Marist has seen in its polling since it started asking how strongly respondents approve or disapprove of presidents." www.npr.org/2026/02/05/n...
CATO.
Yes, and the list goes on… and on….
