I don't get the determination to make Columbus relevant to US history. He never set foot on US soil. He "discovered" a place where millions of people lived and vikings and Irish fishermen knew about. He thought he visited India until his deathbed. His contemporaries considered him a violent weirdo.

Happy birthday to the late, great Pharoah Sanders, arguably the best artist to use to get jazz-averse people into the genre. I didn’t realize the 1975 Paris tape that came out a few years ago had recently been supplemented with a complete recording elementalmusicrecords.bandcamp.com/album/pharoa...

This weekend, Trump said “the Biden FBI” placed 274 agents in the January 6 insurrectionist mob.
He wrote “If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies.”
But it ISN’T so: TRUMP was still POTUS until January 20. It was the TRUMP FBI.
Oops. Never mind. 👑 😳😵💫😎😟

Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

Wait I just need to ask this question. If his tariffs garnered trillions in gains why are they even scrambling to find money to pay our troops? Why do we still have a massive deficit? How much do you think it costs per day to deploy ICE and the National Guard to US cities to yank immigrants

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:
—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks
—Bribes from ABC & CBS
—TikTok sale to Ellison
—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base
—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

In case anyone was wondering, “Give us your land or we will bomb you and take it” is not a peace deal; it’s extortion by artillery. A peace deal requires consent.

One of the many touching things that happened this past week was that my friends at @merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social named a new rabbit after Fergus. Like my Fergus, he is BIG and soft and sweet and has huge adorable paws.

Federal mortgage-fraud prosecutions are exceptionally rare. The amount allegedly at issue in the Letitia James case is so paltry that it would not normally draw the attention of federal prosecutors, @ruthmarcus.bsky.social writes.
The Indictment of Letitia James and the Collapse of Impartial Justice
The question raised by the prosecution of James is: would any other federal prosecutor have brought this case against any other defendant? The answer seems to be no.
