WE HAVE A MURDEROUS WHITE PROGRESSIVE WOMEN PROBLEM:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Laboring to Defeat Communism Is What We’re Doing Here. “While labor and workers are most definitely noble, leftist lunatics have taken both words and perverted them for communist purposes. They’re rallying cries for anti-American and anti-capitalist agitators. The labor movement that began as a way to protect and empower American workers who were in legitimate need of both soon became the driving force behind all that is wrong in this country with political power and personal responsibility.”

WELL DONE: German startup makes European space history with first successful orbital launch.

A German startup successfully sent a rocket into orbit, marking a major milestone for Europe’s push to develop its own commercial space-launch industry.

The 28-meter rocket lifted off from Isar Aerospace’s launch complex in Norway on Saturday night, carrying a payload of five small satellites, in the first successful commercial orbital launch from continental European soil.

“We’re in orbit! And just made European history: This is the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe,” the company said on X.

More lift is good.

OUT: BAGHDAD BOB. In: Baghdad NYT. “A More Confident Iran Emerges After Six Months of War With the U.S.” “The Persian Army has more power and it disappeared in a sandstorm west of Thebes 2,551 years ago.”

Plus: “Why would NYT run something awful like that? Because the NYT strives to be awful. Robert Stacy McCain wrote about the New York Times Journalism Institute, Class of 2018, that NYT travel writer Victoria Leandra called the future of journalism.”

ROB HENDERSON ON LINDSAY CLANCY: O.J. Simpson for middle-class white women. “What I’m about to explain is why some verdicts are more about settling emotional debts than attaining a fair outcome. Once you understand this, the support for Lindsay Clancy begins to look much less mysterious.”

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU DESPISE THE MEDIA…:

Here’s a Community Note that could use a little push to reach Helpful status: “While Patrick Havas forced his way through the crowd while carrying weapons, police state he did not brandish them or lunge at Acton. He approached holding a cellphone to record.”

UM…: US troops can still be tracked by purchased location data, and Congress wants to know why.

US Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-NC) on Friday asked for an investigation by the Defense Department Inspector General into policies that have only partially stanched the flow of location data that allows military personnel to be tracked and targeted.

In May, Wyden, Harrigan, and a bipartisan group of 12 other members of Congress released details about how commercially purchased location data – often captured by mobile apps and advertising SDKs – can be used to identify where US military personnel gather and to target those locations. They noted that the DoD has been aware of this threat since at least 2016.

The lawmakers urged Defense Department CIO Kirsten A. Davies to take steps to mitigate this risk, including turning off advertising identifiers on DoD smartphones and issuing a policy requiring the disabling of advertising identifiers on all personal devices brought into DoD facilities or overseas.

This seems like no-brainer stuff, and the DOD has sat on it for a decade?

NOW THAT WOULD BE SOME CHANGE:

THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE CAMERAS. THE PROBLEM IS THE DATA BASE THEY’RE FEEDING AND THE ACCESS AND USE POLICIES:  Good Point.
