I happen to think that Rob Reiner had a much bigger cultural impact than Charlie Kirk did.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

In the past 72 hours, the President’s photo was released by Congress with a bunch of underaged redacted rape victims he assaulted and he said of the deceased in a mass shooting “things can happen.” Any other person would already be impeached and in the custody of the US Marshals Service.

Hero, this is the guy all those Americans with their guns claim they'll be during a mass shooting, but never are. This man actually disarmed the mass shooting terrorist loser while being himself unarmed

An Australian trauma surgeon, who is a friend of a friend, said in a group chat that in her entire 20-year career she has only treated TWO gunshot victims.

TWO.

Can any American trauma surgeon who has also practiced for twenty years say the same?

I highly doubt it.

Wow: Harris County Democratic officials voted Sunday 186 to 80 to bar Houston Mayor John Whitmire from seeking the party's endorsement over his handling of ICE and appearing at a fundraiser for Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Tx)

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering.

Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed.

At least two suspects are in custody.

Hahahahaha it's sincere!!
I served in the Reagan and George W. Bush administrations and would like to believe conservatism wasn’t always thus, but I’m beginning to wonder. Was the virus from which today’s bigotry sprang lying dormant in us back then, like chickenpox leading to shingles? The moral herpes virus? Was it like a recessive gene long buried in our ancestral DNA that suddenly got switched on and has become dominant? Are these new conservatives in fact our descendants? Were we always secretly like this but were pretending we weren’t? I’m hoping these new conservatives are mutants, but I’m not so sure about that anymore.

Whew, this archival clipping about Greg Bovino’s father
From the Charlotte Observer, 1981: Drunken Driver's Lament Man Jailed For Killing Woman Offers Warning By MARION A. ELLIS Observer Staff Writer Mike Bovino has some advice for New Year's Eve partygoers -if you drink, don't drive. You could kill someone, as he did. Bovino, 37. is serving an 18-month prison sentence in the N.C. prison unit in Huntersville for killing a woman with his car last June near Blowing Rock. Bovino was drunk. "I wouldn't wish what has happened to me on anybody," a conscience-stricken Bovino said Wednesday. "Getting dead drunk just isn't worth it." The woman he killed, Jane Mitchell, 24, never knew what hit her. It was just after midnight last June 5 when Bovino started driving home from a friend's home, where he had been drinking beer since 7 p.m.. "I had two, maybe three six-packs of beer. I don't remember how many. I turned onto the highway and just drove down the wrong side," he said. "I saw the lights from another car, but I thought they were in the other lane. Then, it was over so fast." Bovino's 1978 Dodge four-wheel drive pickup hit Mitchell's Datsun sedan head-on about a mile north of Blowing Rock on U.S. 321. Mitchell, who had gone on a drive with her husband to get doughnuts, was killed instantly. Her husband was seriously injured. Bovino was thrown into the middle of the highway but received, he says, "only a few bumps and bruises." "I didn't think I was drunk, but I blew .18 (on a Breathalyzer test)," Bovino said, struggling awkwardly with his handcuffs to smoke a Marlboro cigarette. Under N.C. law, a .10 blood alcohol content reading is considered conclusive evidence of incapacitation. The N.C. Highway Patrol reports that the number of arrests for driving under the influence (DUI) is down slightly this year compared to 1980. Through Novem-ber, the patrol had arrested 44,330 persons for DUI, compared to 44,951 through November 1980. The rate of conviction to arrests has remained unchanged at about 50%, the patrol reports, with ab…

As a Border Patrol boss, Bovino has repeatedly cited the threat of undocumented immigrants who’ve killed U.S. citizens while driving drunk. The Trump administration said Midway Blitz was launched in Chicago in honor of one of them, a 20-year-old DUI victim. In 1981, Bovino’s father, Mike Bovino, killed a young woman after drunkenly crashing his truck head-on into her car in the hilly little resort town of Blowing Rock, N.C., near the Bovinos’ home. Newspaper accounts described the victims’ car as “bowled over by the impact.” There were no skid marks. Bovino was uninjured. (Chicago Sun Times)

SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Mike Johnson views his primary role as Speaker to prevent as many votes as possible on things that would easily pass because a bipartisan majority favors them. That is exactly what he has done his entire tenure. He blocks things majorities want and keeps the House out of session for long stretches.

PSA: When Trump says Biden had high inflation, he leaves out that it had come down by the time he left, and was among the lowest in the world when Trump took over — and that the inflation was a global issue everyone experienced post-COVID.

Super awkward that Hegseth is trying to court martial Sen. Mark Kelly for basically saying the same thing:

“You’re not just gonna follow that order if it’s unlawful,” Hegseth said in a March 2016 appearance on “Fox & Friends.”
