A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THE KIDS: Two major airlines join $1,000 Trump Accounts matching efforts.

Both Delta Air Lines and American Airlines announced plans to match the government’s contributions for the children of their employees, according to the White House’s post on social media. The investment accounts allow every child born in the United States between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, to receive $1,000 from the federal government, according to the Trump Accounts website.

Parents maintain control of the account, which is created in the child’s name, until age 18. Up to $5,000 can be contributed each year, providing a way to build a child’s investment portfolio while under custodial care.

Delta and American join companies including Chipotle, SoFi Technologies, and Vanguard in pledging the funds, according to Yahoo Finance.

These are great — and sort of a youth version of the Social Security fix that Democrats celebrated killing 20 years ago.

ROBERT SPENCER: Are You Ready for the TRUMP STRAIT? “MS NOW quickly took the bait, posting less than two hours later a huffy article trying to portray Trump’s trolling as a problem for Republicans.”

IT’S FEAR THEY’RE MAKING FUN OF:  Just as I am begging women to stop supporting a child murderer, I’m also begging men to stop erasing context from videos and supplying context you pulled out of your own ass. None of these are “making fun of baby murder”. They’re acting out genuine FEAR they recognize as being mostly irrational, and that’s the joke. It’s no different from a man picturing various scenarios of improbable things that could happen to his family. You’d think someone from Babylon Bee of all places would recognize this for what out actually is…

I think you have to be a mom to understand. For those who don’t know, I’m extremely ADD. My persistent nightmare when I was pregnant with older son/he was little: I put the baby in the garage and forgot him, and he died of starvation and heat stroke.  Now was I ever going to do that, in a million years? No. But I had vivid nightmares I’d done it. And in retrospect it’s hilariously crazy.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS WEREN’T:  Soooo, guy I knew in of all places National Guard in Florida. He was taking a master’s in Optics at University of Central Florida. He had to do a paper. Just one of the random ‘do a paper’ assignments you do in a master’s program. He’d heard that tailings from coal mines could be a bit suspect in terms of radiation. Not in his direct field but in ‘physics.’ Good enough. There’s a coal plant about 20 miles from Orlando. Goes out, goes to the big pile of tailings, sticks a Geiger counter probe in it, expecting a bit above background.

ANN COULTER: Lindsay Clancy Democrats — A Girl for Luigi.

I guess the Lindsay Clancy trial has put an end to that whole thing about a woman being president. Clancy has become a feminist hero for slaughtering her three children, whose names, in case anyone cares, were Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.

For that brave response to “postpartum depression,” she’s attracted hundreds of female admirers, who stand petulantly outside the courthouse in pink T-shirts, demanding her acquittal.

When Muslims pull this crap, blaming their gang rapes on the trauma of being asylum seekers, we’re not as understanding. But when women claim mental anguish from giving birth, we’re supposed to treat it as if it’s a disease as real as cancer and blame the doctors for not dispensing a magic pill to cure the batty lady.

Whether Lindsay has postpartum psychosis, is bipolar or a witch, to quote another witch, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” She still twisted an exercise band around the neck of her 3-year-old, his little legs kicking, then strangled her 5-year-old daughter until she went limp, before proceeding to garrote her 8-month-old baby.

A woman’s work is never done!

The pink ladies seem to think that if enough of them say, That could have been me, everyone will shout in unison, LET THAT POOR WOMAN GO! as opposed to, No. Woman. President. Ever. Thus, the organizer of the pink ladies, Renee Kimball, said of Clancy, “Any one of us could be sitting in her chair.” Okay, fine. But then none of you should ever be sitting in a chair at the Resolute Desk.

Earlier, from Nick Freitas: “I honestly don’t think that women understand what a catalyst moment this is. There’s been a lot of conditions set for young men to just be fed up. This is the one where I don’t think they realize you could look back in 20 years and be like, ‘Oh, this is where we lost the right to vote.’”

UPDATE: Mister, we could use a man like Norm Macdonald again:

SO FLOODING THE STREETS HAS TWO PURPOSES. It shows the government that people are mad. And it’s an implicit threat that all those mad people will do something about it if the government doesn’t change.

Leftist governments in Europe don’t care if people are mad, and they’re not afraid that the people will do anything. Some lamppost hangings may be required if the people are to get the message across.
