a comment from a person who 1) expects nobody to remember that he ran a populist campaign for president and then literally "foamed the runway" (his aide's words!) for his bank donors while they foreclosed on millions of Americans and 2) is certain the interviewer would never dare ask about that

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby on Christopher Columbus:

I used to defend Columbus as 'magnificent.' I don't anymore.

IN 1997 I wrote a column for Columbus Day weekend that opened on a smart-alecky note: "Say," I asked, "is it OK to admire Christopher Columbus again?" Ever since the quincentennial of Columbus's first...

Two of my Commonwealth horses are running next weekend at Keeneland. Just went to look for hotels and absolutely everything is booked solid. Oh well, you can see better on PC anyway.

I can't *do* the brrr noise at all! I've tried, LOL.

As an aside I was reliably informed by an upper level dressage rider that they do use their voices in competition pretty much all the time, but in such a way as not to get caught. (So why not eliminate the no voice rule, I wonder....)

Ava Stearns saying the coop jump is a gift kinda cracks me up - not too terribly long ago the conventional wisdom was, you couldn't have coops in the show ring any more bc what if a horse put a foot through it. (Hint: 165 rounds so far, nobody has.) #MedalFinals

LOL, whatever just got dropped in the announcer's booth sounded like a horse swimming through a jump and I couldn't figure out why the noise wasn't meshing with the video. 🤣

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn.

The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time.

"People can be fun loving people and still protest."

Then again, as Ava Stearns has been rightly pointing out all morning, use of the voice in equitation is going the way of the dodobird anyhoo. It's a pity.

BITD "Whoa" was used to mean em-effing STOP RIGHT NOW or face the consequences. "Eeeeeasy" meant slow down, take a breath, it's all good. And if you think horses can't tell the difference, I can't help ya!

A thing I hate about the modern hunter-jumper industry is the use of the word "whoa" to tell your horse to slow down. They should be using "easy" so the horse can differentiate between slow down and stop. You can't make it mean both things.

Let's not let anyone get away with pretending ICE is at any disadvantage here. These guys travel in big packs- usually 6+ unmarked vehicles; carrying dozens of war zone ready men, masked and heavily armed. ICE is the predator going after regular people and peaceful protestors.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."
