Yikes. In a desperate-sounding video, CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper insists the Strait of Hormuz is “controlled by the United States… not Iran” and “open for business,” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

It’s funny because it’s overshadowing how bad she is at the job.

Wow -- Hannity is moving in for the kill: "Why not just say 'I went to Pepperdine Law School and then took a different career path'? Why get into this long drawn-out thing about the difference between a lawyer and an attorney?"

It’s good to keep focus on the important things in these times.

🚨 NEWS: Trump is backing out of a scheduled deposition with BBC lawyers THIS FRIDAY, citing “matters of national importance” after weeks of radio silence. His team now wants to delay his testimony until JANUARY 2027—after discovery closes—and the BBC is asking a judge to FORCE him to testify.

To be clear, I’m not okay with it. But: if the government is going to execute people, it should do so in the least painful (see probably most “violent”) manner and make it public so they can’t hide what it truly is. Also, those involved should be named.

While camping in the mountains: Charmed an older widow into letting us park next to her shed and hike into a real life fern gully. The waterfall book led us there. She didn’t usually let people do it, but she liked that I asked nicely.
