We were just there a couple years ago. These pictures are devastating. How could it happen? Was it arson?
[Mid-afternoon update]
Good news: They’re reporting now that the structure has been saved, including the north belfry, but that much of the roof will have to be rebuilt. Not to mention, of course, the spire.
Ukrainian officials: Why doesn’t the U.S. Department of Justice want our evidence?
Because it’s against the wrong people. Everyone knows that only Republicans are supposed to be investigated, not Democrats.

Judicial Watch: Why are we being stonewalled by the Justice Department and FBI?
I think we know why. I hope Barr is getting ready to clean house. He may be waiting for Horowitz’s report.
Yes, the U.S. response should have been more firm.
Well, this is refreshing. Maybe she should think about switching parties, though; she seems out of touch with the base.
What is its 21st-century value?
It’s interesting to note that he doesn’t talk about the current mess with Turkey. I think it was a mistake to admit it.
[Update a few minutes later]
Speaking of Turkey, Erdogan seems to be losing popular support (which is a little surprising, considering the power grabs he’s been making).
Thoughts from pilots on “flying” it. Scare quotes because they make it sound like they don’t fly it; they just issue commands to it.
The tables have turned. I’d still like to know why Samantha Powers, or someone acting in her name, unmasked a person per day on average in 2016. And who leaked the names.
We need one for the Russia collusion set up:
…the most powerful individuals, institutions and interests in America conspired to set up a presidential candidate, and later president-elect, and later still President. Their goal? To defeat him in 2016; should he be elected, to prevent his taking office; and should he take office, to have him removed. And yet it’s precisely these people who accused (and, in many cases, still accuse) Mr. Trump of ‘stealing’ and ‘rigging’ an election, of ‘subverting our democracy.”’This is projection on an unimaginable scale.
Indeed. It also has to dig into the Clinton “investigation,” and see how high the abuse of power and obstruction of justice went.
[Late-afternoon update]
Sorry, broken link is fixed.
I favored the removal of Saddam Hussein, but I thought that the Bush administration Charlie Foxtrotted the aftermath, particularly with regard to fecklessness with the mullahs. But I was also continually annoyed by the “Bush lied, people died” mantra (not to mention the “War for Oil” nonsense). The only reason WMD was even an issue is that Tony Blair demanded UN approval, which couldn’t be attained without it. Anyway, Ari Fleischer sets the record straight (again).
