Alex Berenson has proof that he was pushed off of Twitter because the Biden administration asked them to. This is evidence that Twitter was a state actor, acting on behalf of the government to suppress free speech. Twitter even admitted they shouldn't have canceled him initially because he had no violated their speech rules.

I have all the ingredients to make today's featured breakfast. I'll pass.

Oh, geez.  I’ll take an Egg McMuffin over that.  It looks like something Lileks would write about.

I wouldn't mind it if it didn't have quite so much avocado. I like avocado, but not that much.

Gee, I slaved over finding that picture for breakfast all of 3 seconds and all I get is complaints!

Good morning. I’m sitting at my local Starbucks overhearing at a nearby table as to local “progressives“ credulously repeat the claim that Trump actually had working nuclear *launch codes* in his house.

yes, they believe the actual nuclear “football“ was taken by Trump in January 2021, stored in the basement of his house, and it took the Biden administration 20 months to figure that out.

The "nuclear football?" That's certainly moving the goalposts.

I'm fine with the avocado. I would eat that with either eggs or black beans, but not both.

I see what you did there. I'm calling a flagrant foul.

Oh, good Lord. Is every Progressive now required to state, in any public venue, the lands they stole from the native tribes? I just ran across a speech at a local university where they prominently note, as the first they say, is how the land for the university was stolen.

1. and yet they never offer to give it back.


2. and of course, they are only talking about the land being “stolen“ from the most recent Indian tribe to have stolen it from another tribe. Prior to the arrival of the white people.

1. In the case of the local university, this is something that happened more than 170 years ago. 

2. Do Europeans have to apologize to every neighboring country for stealing their land?

Land acknowledgments are one of the stupidest manifestations of wokeness. I think the Cherokee were mistreated, but why should I apologize? I wasn't even born yet.

Hmmm ... I wonder if they should demand that everyone in western Poland do a land acknowledgment for the Germans that were forcibly dispossessed after WWII?

Well, the house-hunt begins again.  I got an offer NOT contingent on the tree.  It's the lowest I'd take but house prices in the area I've been looking are dropping and there is a great deal of inventory not moving.  Going to look at a couple places tomorrow.

Nuke or no nuke? California officials ponder nuclear future

The legislative session shuts down Aug. 31 — when all business is suspended — and only a rare special session called by Gov. Gavin Newsom could provide a longer period to consider the move. The Democratic governor seen as a possible future White House candidate has urged operator Pacific Gas & Electric to pursue a longer run beyond a scheduled closing by 2025, warning that the plant's power is needed to maintain reliable service as the state transitions to solar, wind and other renewable sources of energy.

Total lack of planning. shutting down a generation plant when they need 500 more in 15 years to accommodate EVs.

Trump Responds to Nuclear Documents Reports

Allegedly Trump took docs related to nuclear weapons (to pass the Russians I guess).

First of all while POTUS could see those docs, they would be returned to secure storage with DoE and DoD.

So they would not have been available to be intentionally or accidentally packed as part of the Presidential papers when Trump left.

Most importantly these are the same people who pushed the totally discredited Steele Dossier as verified and gospel truth.

Even if they find the smoking bomb plans in Trump's papers....

I don't believe them, their history tells me they will have placed the papers there to incriminate Trump.

That's the point I've seen several writers make: not that Trump wouldn't have had access to docs on nuclear weapons to take out of the White House, but that these people have lost any credibility after the Steele Dossier nonsense.

Additionally top secret, special access, code word, and similar high security docs have a log. A lot of them have two person rules. Often they are numbered copies.

So lets say Trump wants the performance data on the Trident D5 W88 warheads. Somebody or two somebodies goes to the file vault and sign out the docs, saying they are going to the WH. The WH would log the documents coming in. Then they would be logged back into vault.

So if you say Trump has the document. Show me the file logs.
