YET STARMER HANGS ON: Armed forces minister quits hours after defence secretary steps down over military spending plans.. In his resignation letter, Carns says “we are asking our Armed Forces to operate in a more dangerous world on a budget written for a calmer one.” Earlier, Healey told the prime minister the upcoming defence investment plan “falls well short of what is required for defence and the country at this dangerous time.”

What the UK really needs is a massive deportation budget…:

…and to bring back the hangman.

HARSH, BUT FAIR:

GET WOKE, GO BROKE. LEFTISTS RUIN EVERYTHING.

OPEN THREAD: Thursday’s on.

UPDATE: I put this up early by accident, but what the hell.

DATA SHOWS ALIENS USE WELFARE MORE THAN CITIZENS: It shouldn’t have to be demonstrated via usage data, but the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) went ahead and did it, digging into the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS) reports on who uses federal and state social welfare programs. Yes, as I report for The Washington Stand, the data leaves no doubt about who uses such benefits the most.

SOME SMALL MEASURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY:

JERRY SEINFELD BRUTALLY SHUTS DOWN PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTOR AFTER KNICKS GAME: ‘It doesn’t exist.’

Jerry Seinfeld was ambushed by a live streamer who attempted to bait him into saying ‘Free Palestine’ after a massive comeback New York Knicks win in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

The 72-year-old comedian pulled no punches as he dismissed the Kick streamer named FinesseFave outside of Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

The social media personality asked the star to say ‘free Palestine’ in the microphone as he left the arena to which Seinfeld chuckled before brutally replying: ‘It doesn’t exist.’

It’s a show about nothing.

HEH:

I mean, at least we’re getting something out of the World Cup.

THE LEFT IS INCENSED BECAUSE PRATT EXPOSED THEIR GRIFT AND INCOMPETENCE:

ANALYSIS: TRUE. No one is entitled to work at CBS or anywhere else.

I worked as a writer, reporter, and editor for various publications for more than ten years. So, I’ve worked inside newsrooms and, before that, in the business world. And watching the Pelley spectacle, I keep coming back to the same thought: The rules that apply in every other profession apply here, too.

You have a boss. What the boss says goes. You do the job you were hired to do, or you find another job. What you do not do, if you want to be taken seriously, is hijack a staff meeting to scream at your new executive producer, question his qualifications to his face in front of 50 colleagues, accuse leadership of ā€œmurderingā€ the program, and then act shocked when you are shown the door. What you especially do not do is immediately leak the whole episode to the New York Times and then performatively engage in public grief sessions about the consequences.

Pelley was paid millions of dollars to work at CBS. He had a 37-year run at the network. He is not a sympathetic figure. He is a very well-compensated professional who made a scene, got fired for cause, and is now treating his termination as a national tragedy and some kind of attack on journalism.

No matter the profession, if the new boss has new rules, you can either get on board or get lost.

THE JUDGE ELEANOR ROSS SEX-AND-JUDICIAL-OPINIONS SCANDAL HAS BROKEN INTO THE NYT: “For years, Judge Eleanor Ross’s secret was passed down from law clerk to law clerk. They whispered about the sultry jazz music that emanated from her chambers when a uniformed police commander, a man they called her “visitor,” disappeared into her private office. The clerks could sometimes hear the unmistakable sounds of sex from behind the door. They chalked it up as one of the burdens of working for Judge Ross, who routinely rubber stamped their draft orders and added little else before issuing them as rulings. But the clerks in the Atlanta courthouse felt helpless: Do you report your married boss, a federal judge no less, for having a clandestine in-office affair with a law enforcement officer?”

Finally one did.
