DEAL OF THE DAY: Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum, Grey. #CommissionEarned

NO. NEXT QUESTION? Can Abdul el Sayed be trusted with intelligence community secrets?

To be fair, these days I’m not sure the intelligence community can be trusted with that stuff.

PEOPLE NEED TO BE PROSECUTED FOR THIS: FBI Followed Catholic Priests, Continued Richmond Memo Work After Removal Order: DOJ Report Finds. “A new Justice Department report reveals that FBI personnel opened investigations into two Catholic priests, conducted surveillance tied to the Richmond Catholic Memo, and continued revising the memo after headquarters ordered it deleted.”

GOV. LEE ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP TO NAME NASHVILLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN HONOR OF DOLLY PARTON:

Today, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and Nashville International Airport®, also known as BNA®, announced their intent to name BNA in honor of Dolly Parton, creating a lasting tribute to her indelible legacy and the generations of people she inspired across Tennessee and around the world.

Gov. Lee spoke with Dolly’s team about the proposal this week. Her team expressed their appreciation for the extraordinary outpouring of support to honor Dolly and said they are touched by the idea and open to continuing the conversation. In keeping with the way Dolly lived her life, her team believes she still has a special way of bringing people together for good, and they hope this tribute can be another example of that enduring legacy.

Presumably, the name change will trigger some serious aesthetic upgrades and new gate assignments:

TRUMP IS CRUSHING IRAN WITH ALMOST NO (U.S.) CASUALTIES, AND PEOPLE ARE BITCHING:

HOPEFULLY:  The Power of Cosy…Musing on the world and making it better.

IS THAT GASLIGHT FLICKERING?  CAIR blamed 9/11 on US support for Israel, recommended bin Laden’s writings in back-to-school guide: ‘Evil propaganda’.

WHEN HAVE THEY EVER LIED ABOUT THE EFICACY OF A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT?  The ULEZ Effect: Take a Deep Breath Before You Believe It. The headlines say ULEZ made children’s lungs grow faster. The study itself says something far less certain.

PARTS OF THE FBI FUNCTION VERY WELL. UNFORTUNATELY, LEADERSHIP ISN’T ONE OF THOSE PARTS:  A Top FBI Official’s Remarks About Running a Secret Government Are Now More Chilling.

WOKE IS A TRAGEDY:  Incompetence and bigotry at NASA and Lockheed Martin.

RESEARCH THAT’S DIVORCED FROM POLITICAL GOALS IS NEEDED:  “Single mother households produce the worst results for children”.

GOOD:  Achilles’ Shield: Israel to Build Greece’s Missile, Drone Defense System.

I’VE HEARD THIS:  President Trump just announced that his administration is moving to allow farmers the ability process their own meat. This is huge for farmers, the economy, and for rural Americans who should be able to get meat from their neighbors. Long overdue, but these are the decisions we were hoping to see.

I LOVE LIVING IN THE FUTURE:  AI Tool Mapped Nerves During Brain Surgery That Saved A Man’s Eyesight. A patient about to go blind had his brain tumor removed with the help of artificial intelligence in the first operation of its kind.

MAYBE:  AI Dinosaur Extinction Coming? This is probably good longer term, but short term impacts may be tough.

CLEARS THROAT. AS I’VE SAID:  Keep this in mind when you see posts with tens of thousands of likes that happen to fit with the information war positions of certain adversaries. You think this is the only CCP bot farm? Any idea how many Iranian/Pakistani/Russian active bot farms currently exist on here and other platforms?

I AGREE. TENNESSEE SHOULD DO IT:  More than 80,000 people have signed a petition to rename Nashville International Airport after Dolly Parton. Dolly Parton International Airport sounds better than Nashville International Airport ever did. Tennessee should do it.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.

MOVE THE OBSERVATORIES TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON, LIKE GOD AND ROBERT HEINLEIN INTENDED. Massive space mirrors could be 40 times brighter than the full moon, astronomers warn. ‘It will be worse than big cities like London’.

JUST ANOTHER INSTALLMENT IN TRUMP’S ANACONDA STRATEGY:

It’s the Venezuelan dividend.

Take out the brutal dictator who turned a prosperous nation that pumped money out of the ground into a wretched impoverished third world hellhole. Welcome Venezuela back. Cut China and Cuba off from a cheap oil source.

The other part. No accident… https://t.co/2K7RZscSQC

Trump wages financial war on his opponents, and Scott Bessent is his financial Patton, Marco Rubio his diplomatic Eisenhower.

It’s funny that this came out right after Canada walked away from the trade deal.
