IT’S MEASURED IN TRILLIONS OF BIDENFLATION DOLLARS: Is This Gavin Newsom’s Biggest Lie Ever? “California Governor Gavin Newsom, perhaps best described as ‘seven lying serpents in a skinsuit,’ just told a lie so big that even my jaded self had to sit back, take a sip of coffee, and admire the handiwork of whoever steam-cleaned the soul out of his body.”

“In the first place, I would like to observe that the older generation had certainly pretty well ruined this world before passing it on to us. They give us this Thing, knocked to pieces, leaky, red-hot, threatening to blow up; and then they are surprised that we don’t accept it with the same attitude of pretty, decorous enthusiasm with which they received it, ‘way back in the eighteen-nineties, nicely painted, smoothly running, practically fool-proof. “So simple that a child can run it!”

Murray was responding to this:

Of course, the corrections never generate the views (or rage) the original stories do. So for the Beeb, it’s mission accomplished.
WELL, GOOD: Air Force Accelerates Sending B-21s to Ellsworth.
One of the two B-21s now in flight testing at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., will be the first Raider at Ellsworth. “The test aircraft will be going there,” Meink said during a wide-ranging interview at the Pentagon.
“We’re going to actually turn the test aircraft into operational aircraft at some point in time. They’ll be going there and starting to really do the things you need to do to prepare the base to get the long-term operational aircraft there.”
An Air Force spokesperson declined to say whether both test B-21s at Edwards will move to Ellsworth, or exactly when in 2027 the first plane will arrive. Flight testing typically continues even after planes arrive at operating bases.
When the first B-21 rolled out in December 2022, the Air Force and manufacturer Northrop Grumman touted the first plane as “production-representative,” meaning its stealth coating, mission systems, and other components were virtually identical to the final model. The Air Force decided early that the first test B-21 would be production representative, rather than an experimental aircraft. Northrop officials said in 2022 that opting for the production-representative plane was more complicated up front, but would accelerate testing.
The Raider so far is one of those rare procurement success stories. Any delays (not many) and cost overruns were due largely to COVID lockdown stupidity and Bidenflation woes that hit everything.
EVERYBODY’S UNHAPPY ABOUT BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, BUT: Don Surber: Trump’s Supreme victory: Justices helped the president Slaughter the deep state’s hold on the republic.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: No Reason to Panic Over a Mild Case of SCOTUS Whiplash. “As you might imagine, I’ve been buried in the Supreme Court rulings and the reactions to them the last couple of days. It’s been a lot and, because there was no whiskey in my coffee either day, I was a little cranky. By early Tuesday afternoon, I had already decided to focus on the positive. We’re celebrating America’s big birthday this week, and I’m not going to let the news ruin it for me.”
HMM: Justice Kavanaugh May Have Handed the United States a Roadmap to Fix Birthright Citizenship. “Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the majority in striking down President Trump’s executive order but wrote separately in partial dissent. He concluded the order conflicted with existing federal law, not that it was unconstitutional. In his opinion, he also outlined a framework for addressing concerns surrounding birthright citizenship through legislation, making clear that any path to lasting change would likely require an act of Congress.”
That’s the rub, isn’t it?

ICYMI: This Scrappy Little Rocket Company Just Made a Big Play Against Elon Musk. “Maybe you’ve heard of Rocket Lab, the scrappy New Zealand-based launch company whose innovative Electron small-lift rocket quickly became one of the most popular in U.S. service, thanks to its high success rate and rapid launch cadence. Except for nerds like me paying close attention to the launch industry, Rocket Lab gets a little lost in SpaceX’s shadow. But that might be about to change with the company’s multibillion-dollar acquisition.”

LIMITED TIME DEAL: Furbo Mini 360°. #CommissionEarned
FINALLY: Supreme Court Grants Cert in Two ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Cases.
The percolation has finally come to an end. After years of dodging the issue, the Supreme Court announced today — the last day of its 2025/2026 session — that it will hear two “assault weapon” ban cases next term. SCOTUS will consolidate Viramontes v. Cook County, a Seventh Circuit (Illinois) case and Grant v. Higgins from the Second Circuit (Connecticut).
That means the Court will finally decide the constitutionality of banning America’s favorite rifle, along with other commonly owned and used firearms that politicians and the civilian disarmament industrial complex have tendentiously branded as weapons of war as justification for outlawing them.
This is a moment that the gun rights community has been waiting for since Bruen was handed down in 2022. Last year, when the Court refused to hear two other hardware cases, Justice Brett Kavanaugh made a point of writing that the denial didn’t mean the Court agreed with lower courts upholding the bans . . .
I would not wait to decide whether the government can ban the most popular rifle in America. That question is of critical importance to tens of millions of law-abiding AR–15 owners throughout the country. We have avoided deciding it for a full decade. And, further percolation is of little value when lower courts in the jurisdictions that ban AR–15s appear bent on distorting this Court’s Second Amendment precedents.
Exactly. And during all of the subsequent percolation, five more states have enacted “assault weapons” bans, bringing the total to 12 plus the District of Columbia. So it is now long past time for the Court to settle the matter once and for all.
Stay tuned…
