Speaking of Noem, anyone seen or heard of Corey Lewandowski lately?

Kristi Noem is a deeply unserious person who should not be taken seriously by serious people.

Given Russia's current dedication to revanchist territorial expansion, this is a solid, smart move by Poland. They have plenty of experience with the Russia s and they're not hankering for more. Factor in Russia's acquisitive murderous pig behavior with a glance at a map and you'll see why the Putinistas will have fits over it. There's no threat posed to anyone by anything other than Putin's idiotic dreams of a re-formed USSR 2.0.

When these self-identified "conservatives" leave "liberal" states and migrate to a pseudo-libertarian backwaters, it's hard to believe questions about the lack of suitable (or even adequate) infrastructure - often fueled by local unwillingness to pay for anything unless it's with "federal dollars" - doesn't come up. This has always been a get-rich-quick country and the consequences of this should be - but clearly aren't - obvious to pretty much everyone.

Two excerpts;
The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the worsening situation in the West Bank are inflaming regional chaos, weakening our alliances with Western democracies, and making it harder for countries like Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to cooperate with us. Most Israelis have now focused their attention on Tehran, but even prior to the Iranian attack we preferred to turn a blind eye to what was happening in Gaza and the West Bank. Yet if we don't change our behavior toward the Palestinians, our hubris and vengefulness will inflict a historic calamity on us.
Israelis know their Bible well, and love its stories. How is it that after October 7, we forgot Samson? His is the tale of a Jewish hero kidnapped to Gaza, where he was held in dark captivity by the Philistines, and severely tortured. Why didn't Samson become a symbol following October 7? Why don't we see his image everywhere, on stickers, graffiti and internet memes? The answer is that Samson's message is too scary. "May I take vengeance," said Samson, "and let my soul perish with the Philistines." Since October 7, we have become so similar to Samson in so many ways " the hubris, the blindness, the vengeance, the suicide " that it is just too terrifying to remember the vainglorious hero who let his own soul perish just to get even with the Philistines.

Per breakimg at NYT:
An eyewitness, who declined to be identified, said that the man threw pamphlets into the air before he lit himself on fire. The man, who was wearing jeans and dark gray T-shirt, fell to the ground. He was in an area of the park that was cordoned off for supporters of Mr. Trump. Some of the pamphlets referenced former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Al Gore and the lawyer David Boies, who represented Mr. Gore in the 2000 presidential election recount. The man stood tall as he poured the accelerant on himself and then held a flame at chest level. As people nearest him fled, others cried out as they realized what he was about to do. Screams and shouts " though not from him " filled the air as the flames consumed him and he slowly collapsed. This is a developing story and will be updated www.nytimes.com

The Prayer of the Rev. C. Horner Redwine of The Church of God the Utterly Indifferent:
"Oh Lord Most High, Creator of the Cosmos, Spinner of Galaxies, Soul of Electromagnetic Waves, Inhaler and Exhaler of Inconceivable Volumes of Vacuum, Spitter of Fire and Rock, Trifler with Millennia " what could we do for Thee that Thou couldst not do for Thyself one octillion times better? Nothing. What could we do or say that could possibly interest Thee? Nothing. Oh, Mankind, rejoice in the apathy of our Creator, for it makes us free and truthful and dignified at last. No longer can a fool point to a ridiculous accident of good luck and say, 'Somebody up there likes me.' And no longer can a tyrant say, 'God wants this or that to happen, and anyone who doesn't help this or that to happen is against God.' O Lord Most High, what a glorious weapon is Thy Apathy, for we have unsheathed it, have thrust and slashed mightily with it, and the claptrap that has so often enslaved us or driven us into the madhouse lies slain!" Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan

DeSantis is struggling to get the attention of the Christoloons. Casey must've told him he has a chance to do and be ... oh, something, anything ... after his sheet-show attempt to sell manure as mink, aka presidential boot race. There is no bottom for these people.
