KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: OK, I’ll Bite — Bernie 2028? “Sure, Sanders is old, but it seems like he’s been old forever. He’s not senile, he’s just commie crazy. He’s got some kind of Energizer bunny vibe going on. He can probably handle one more election.”

MORE CAPACITY IS GOOD: Trump Says US Will Let Ukraine Build Patriot Systems: ‘We’ll Show Them How to Make Them.’
“I’ve got a little bird telling me that we’re going to give them the right to make Patriots. We’ll show them how to make them,” Trump said during a joint news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey.
Calling the Patriot system “elite equipment,” Trump added that the arrangement would allow Ukraine to produce the systems itself.
“One of the things we’re going to be talking about is we’re going to give a license to you to make Patriots. That’s pretty cool, right? This way you can’t complain that we’re not giving them enough. It’s a make-them-yourself,” he said.
I don’t know if Kyiv can get production up in time for this war, but it sure feels like there’ll be another one.
TRANSLATION: CORRECT.

IT’S MY THURSDAY ESSAY FOR VIP SUBSCRIBERS: How to Turn $750,000 into $400 Million With This 1 Weird Trick. “Yes, I’m talking about Obsession, the low-budget horror flick that gushing critics point out isn’t based on an established intellectual property, has no superheroes, no CGI, hardly any marketing worth mentioning, and a budget that likely wouldn’t cover the catering for Avengers: Doomsday due out later this year.”
STACY MCCAIN: The Politics of Unquestioned Assumptions: Democrats made the wrong bet with Graham Platner, and can’t understand why. “Did everyone really make mistakes about Platner? Or by that sweeping categorical statement, did Litman mean just the Democratic campaign operative class of which she is a member? Because I am pretty sure there weren’t many Republicans who were mistaken about what a complete dirtbag Platner is. Certainly I was not.”
SUICIDAL EMPATHY:
Why do Israelis always do this? It has never helped them in the long run — ever. They save the enemy and the enemy tries to destroy them. Their enemies aren’t normal people who feel a sense of gratitude yet they keep pretending. Leftism is dangerous. https://t.co/eIQH0ocJiE

DISPATCHES FROM THE BUNKER: Graham Platner and the death of ‘The Resistance.’
I, for one, am shocked that the dude with the Nazi tattoo turned out to be a bad person. Normally blokes who go around with an SS-style cross-and-bones inked on their chests are such lovely people. Not Graham Platner. The Democratic candidate for the Maine Senate, famed sporter of a Nazi-like Totenkopf, appears to be a rotter. There are now allegations that he sexually assaulted an old girlfriend. Who could have seen that coming?
Forgive the sarcasm. The answer is that everyone could have seen it coming. Everyone, that is, whose moral sensibilities have not been turned to mush by their slavish devotion to the flagging cause of the Democrats. To understand the depth of the moral rot at the top of Democrats, to see what a thin, gutless pantomime their ‘Resistance’ always was, look no further than the Platner storm. For it indicts more than one dodgy bloke – it indicts an entire political machine.
