    ”For all the talk of a “constitutional crisis” or threats to “our democracy” having the executive branch systematically run by unknown subordinates of a mentally incompetent president is the biggest constitutional scandal in US history—it’s called into question the legality of official acts done in his name but without proper authority.”

    re fish 1006am – good data on the linked site. One conclusion that most miss it that the high variability in the polls over time on any given topic indicates the depth of knowledge the sampled respondents have – not a good assessment of our fellow citizens. See also Polymarket in today’s Scattershots.
    re RH 735am – ‘ideology is the enemy of intelligence’. Formally ideology is “the body of doctrine, myth, belief, etc., that guides an individual, social movement, institution, class, or large group.” And more precisely, ideology is a structured set of beliefs that supports its communication and utility for assessing ongoing events, especially in the socio-political arena. People without a well-formed ideology are like leaves in the wind, not knowing their own mind nor how it is influenced by happenings in their environment. The Left (e.g. our Democrats) have always made adherence to its ideology a litmus test for acceptance into its ranks.

    Trump is still lying about gas prices.
    “In April, President Donald Trump claimed gas prices in “a couple” unspecified states had just fallen to $1.98 per gallon. That wasn’t even close to true. But the next day he said it was “three states” that had just hit $1.98 per gallon, which also wasn’t remotely accurate.
    Trump used the “three” figure on multiple occasions in subsequent weeks, again with no factual basis. Then, during an immigration-focused visit to Florida on Tuesday, Trump made it five states with supposed sub-$2 gas.
    “Gasoline just hit $1.99 today in five states – $1.99, isn’t that a nice sound?” he said, adding moments later, “We just hit, in five states, $1.99, $1.98.”
    I saw the press conference yesterday where he said that twice.
    What a liar

    He has a review of the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption from 2022 that spewed a lot more water into the atmosphere – about 1% of the existing normal water vapor in our atmosphere. Since the global warming crew & their MSM didn’t publicize the volcano’s effects that much, water vapor is a terrible greenhouse gas (i.e. – without it, earth would be much colder than it is).
    His 150,000 metric tons of water spewing should have read 150,000,000,000 metric tons, which the original papers (from 2023 or so) had correct.

    re RH 117pm – what this liberal and his ilk completely miss is that there is ample evidence that only the Left ostracizes, evicts, and shuns their compatriots who have stepped beyond the bounds of their ideology – e.g. in academia, the media, and entertainment. Hence BP’s 934pm. However, there is little evidence that the MAGA crowd practices the same rites for continued membership.
