The FBI
Howie Carr doesn’t pull any punches.
[Sunday-morning update]
A reckoning will come for these political hacks.
I hope so.

[Monday-afternoon update]
The FBI’s darkest hour. There may be good people working there, but it’s a corrupt culture.

The Rise Of Skywalker
Peter Suderman gives it a hearty thumbs down:
Skywalker is a frantic, disjointed mess—not a movie with good ideas poorly executed, not even a movie with bad ideas, but a movie with no ideas at all, save for saccharine paeans to fandom and nostalgia. As a story, it is empty and unengaging to the point of boredom. As a cinematic product, it is surprisingly lackluster, with shoddy effects and muddy visuals. And as an entry in the Star Wars franchise, an ostensibly major part of the pop-culture canon, it is a wasted opportunity: a total failure of both creative imagination and corporate brand management.
But other than that, I’m sure it’s great.
The FISA Mess
Yes, multiple someones need to go to prison. Or rather, justice requires them to.
[Update a few minutes later]
The problems pointed out by the IG go far beyond “errors” and “sloppiness.” It was a fraud on the court, in order to set up innocent people. And who knows how much more of it has been going on? At a minimum, Flynn’s conviction should be overturned.

John Brennan (someone else who should be wearing orange) says that the FBI were “doing their level best.”
[Update a while later]
James Comey is a pathological liar.
Well, yeah, ya think?
[Update late morning]
Horowitz destroys the media lie that he found no political bias.
Impeach Joe Biden
I’d like to see this happen, but not a chance with this House. Maybe after the election, if the Republicans take it back.
Watergate
What Trump learned from it.
The Battle Of The Bulge
It’s now the 75th anniversary. Here’s a satire I wrote to commemorate the 60th.
The IG Report
It undercuts Nadler’s credibility on impeachment. Not that he ever had much to begin with.
It also proved something that’s been pretty obvious for years; Adam Schiff has been a serial liar from the beginning.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Schiff town hall erupts into cries of “liar” and “treason.” They’re not wrong. Unfortunately, his seat is probably safe in that district, which is why he can get away with this.
Boris Johnson’s Revolution
Thoughts from Michael Barone.
I’m encouraged that he wants to emphasize science and technology. This could create some useful Anglospheric alliances in space, particularly if he sets up a Royal Space Force.
[Update a few minutes later]
He’s going after the Beeb. That would be amazing if he could get rid of that pack of leftist hacks.
[Wednesday-morning update]
Me, Too
Voters favor firing and/or jailing government officials who targeted Trump.
