KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Gavin Newsom’s Wife Is a Real Piece of Work Also Plus Maybe a Witch. “Oh, where to begin with this one. If California Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom were starring in a reality television show, an apt title for it would be, The Worst White People in America. You could actually rotate quite a cast of pasty, privileged Democrats through various episodes, but California’s first fascist family would always be the most awful of the bunch.”

Which Panican wants to hand me my “I told you so” award?
Trump has been running the same negotiation playbook forever. Pressure, escalation, chaos… then leverage a deal. We’ve watched it happen again and again. This wasn’t complicated. It was basic pattern recognition.
While…

SAD: Young and glum in the Anglosphere.
No English-speaking country ranked among the world’s 10 happiest nations. New Zealand placed 11th and Australia 15th, while the US ranked 23rd, between Saudi Arabia (22nd) and Poland (24th).
Happiness scores are up in most countries around the globe — except for the Anglosphere, where young people are distinctly less chipper, write Howe and Ford.
In other surveys, young Anglospherians also report “lower life satisfaction and growing distrust in institutions,” they write. “Generation Hopeless” is “down on democracy and drawn to populism.”
Young people are happier now than 20 years ago in a majority of countries, but not in North America or Western Europe, according to the report.
Heavy social media users seem to be less happy.
No surprises there.

Great point.
Next time Senator Kelly (D-AZ) does an interview, a reporter should ask him if he ever committed a war crime by taking out a bridge or a power plant. https://t.co/4Xe2FfVP76

What a terrible night for Marjorie. She gets to watch Clay Fuller win the special election to fill the seat she abandoned, and the nuclear war she was predicting doesn’t materialize.

THE CORBYNIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONTINUES APACE:
One of the more remarkable trends of the past 4 years has been the almost total disappearance of environmentalism from left-wing consciousness, and its replacement by various forms of anti-Judaism as the defining test of who is "progressive" and who is not.

REPORT: Eric Swalwell About to Be Hit With ‘Shocking’ Number of Sexual Harassment Allegations.
Cheyenne Hunt, a lawyer, former congressional candidate and executive director of the left-wing nonprofit Gen-Z for Change, revealed on X Sunday, that she has been working with a number of women who are in the process of sharing their accusations with major news outlets. Hunt said she knew of a separate and “much larger group” of women who are also currently in the process of sharing their stories.
Swalwell’s alleged inappropriate sexual behavior is apparently an “open secret” in Washington DC, as is his practice of forcing underlings to sign nondisclosure agreements.
Hunt posted an initial video on Instagram in late March accusing Swalwell of having “a known history of being predatory towards women.” She cited a woman who told her: “You know Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs so they don’t speak up, right? And when I was 19 he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs and I have so many other friends that have similar experiences with him.”
Hunt said the allegation was “not an anomaly” but “part of a pattern.”
The only number that should shock you is zero. And you ought to at least express a little wonder if it turns out to be anything less than a baker’s dozen.

I’m okay. it’s just I’m doing a series of shots to dis-sensitize from allergies, among them household dust, cats, feathers and polen (and others. so many others) and today it kicked me into a very bad reaction, which led to my being given a lot of antihistamine which is making me profoundly sleepy. I was hoping to hold on till I did the whole thing, but I can’t. I’m going to bed.
