EFFECTIVE SEPT. 1: Tim Cook Steps Down as Apple CEO.

WARTHOG FOREVER:

In consultation with @SecWar, we will EXTEND the A-10 “Warthog” platform to 2030. This preserves combat power as the Defense Industrial Base works to increase combat aircraft production.

PRIORITIES: Harvard investigates Republican club for filming Muslim event on campus.

On April 4, the Harvard Republican Club posted a short video and one photo on its X account of an Eid al-Fitr event hosted by the school’s Islamic Society.

“Today, students were interrupted from their midterm studies for several hours by loud music and prayers outside their windows,” the group wrote on X.

“Harvard’s historic Quincy Courtyard had been turned into a bazaar selling Hijabs, Burqas and Qurans for an Eid Mubarak celebration hosted by Harvard’s Islamic Society,” the club wrote.

The group also said the university had been “captured.”

Someone filed a complaint against the club for filming and taking photographs at the even that occurred out in the open, which has prompted a school investigation.

But no investigation of the disruptions, got it.

On Friday, I finally saw Project Hail Mary. Its efforts at detailed SF worldbuilding and distinct lack of a “Mary Sue” character stand in stark contrast to the Kathleen Kennedy-era Star Wars movies. Speaking of which, I wonder how Solo: A Star Wars Story would have turned out if Kennedy hadn’t fired its co-directors — who went on to make Project Hail Mary. 

THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY I WAS PROMISED: I’ve fired one of America’s most powerful lasers—here’s what a shot day looks like. Okay, this part isn’t quite what I expected: “On a typical shot day, the target might be a piece of metal foil thinner than a human hair, a jet of gas or a tiny plastic pellet.”

GONNA CRY! Elise Stefanik Turns Jake Tapper Into a Simpering Mess Over Trump/Iran and It’s GLORIOUS (Vid).

Rep. Elise Stefanik took Jake Tapper to the cleaners… just one look at his pouty, cranky, smug little face while she was going off about his claims that Trump had called for genocide against Iran, and you know she had him where she wanted him.

And where he did not want to be.

Watch this:

Rep. Elise Stefanik just DOG WALKED Jake Tapper on his own show: “This is TYPICAL CNN!”

Tapper tried to claim Trump was calling for genocide against Iran — Stefanik shut it down instantly.

TAPPER: “Is calling for wiping out an entire civilization bad or good?”

As Stefanik tells Jake, “President Trump effectively brought the Iranians to the table. He effectively delivered a ceasefire.”

Would that be a bad thing from CNN’s leftist point of view? CNN’s Man in Iran Tacitly Admits He Had a ‘Minder’ Who Informed Regime.

To answer that question, it’s worth noting:

It’s still astonishing that anyone listens to a word Jake Tapper says, especially when he pushes claims like this that are completely made up. He was the one who first laundered the dossier into the public bloodstream. Before that, even the fake news wouldn’t cross the line of… https://t.co/igXddtjydY pic.twitter.com/4hLIsEcRUf

But as Salena Zito noted in the replies, “He votes with his party for the majority of the time.” If Fetterman wants to actually do something about his party’s radicalization, maybe he could try costing them hard votes. Until then, it’s hard to take his protests very seriously.
