  1. Wonderful Song, and Presentation.
    I remember seeing them on the Ed Sullivan Show, in their Marine Uniforms.
    Just sent this to my wonderful Wife, of 56 years.

  2. Putting this here rather than on the Milei post from a couple of days ago: We shouldn’t neglect Bukele, who also spoke eloquently at the UN:

    In El Salvador, we do not imprison the opposition, we do not censor opinions or confiscate property for thinking differently. Here, no one is arrested for expressing their ideas.

    In El Salvador, we prioritize the safety of our honest citizens over the comfort of criminals. Some say that we have imprisoned thousands, but the reality is we have freed millions.

  3. Were the Jan 6th events a calculated plan to enable Trump prosecution for something illegal, like insurrection? A plot along those lines is almost entirely in view now.

    Clash Daily does the run-down. “One-Two Punch Knocks The Fangs Out Of EVERY J6 ‘Insurrection’ Narrative…We already knew it was bogus. Now our evidence got a WHOLE lot stronger”. –Clash Daily

  4. I hope Kate is ok in NC. Helene took a much more east track over NC rather than through Tenn.

    Here in Jax we had very high winds from 11pm to 2am…many gusts above 70mph. Biggest problem here is no power. Our house lost at midnight so going on 12 hours now. JEA outage map shows large areas of Jax without power and about 150k customers which translates to about 600k people. No restoration times given.

    Further to our west Lake City and Perry are in very bad shape.

    And if that’s not enough, models show a Helene duplicate for next weekend.

  5. I wondered about Jacksonville, physicsguy. Sounds like a mess. I am about to possibly martyr myself in the service of a fair election in NC. I have to drive through some very heavy rain and flood warnings to take my in-person training this afternoon. Wish me luck.

  6. ToI, “IDF says Beirut strike targeted Hezbollah’s main headquarters“:
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-says-beirut-strike-targeted-hezbollahs-main-headquarters/

    IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the Israeli Air Force struck Hezbollah’s main headquarters in the Lebanese capital of Beirut a short while ago.

    Hagari says the center was built underneath civilian buildings in the Dahiyeh suburb, a known Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut.

    The IDF spokesman does not mention whether Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was a target or was believed to be present at the site.

    Good. Don’t stop.
