(1) Twice-deported illegal alien gets on a flight from Newark to New Orleans and makes a bomb threat:

The New York Post reported that the bomb threat turned out to be a hoax. Local authorities also confirmed that Gomez-Alberto changed into all-black before making his run for the cockpit to lend credence to his threat.

As of Tuesday, Gomez-Alberto is in jail without bail. He is a Honduran illegal alien who spent over a decade repeatedlycrossing into the United States, being arrested, and then receiving either deportation or temporary release.

(2) Republican House member Massie’s attempt to impeach Hegseth has failed. But it is nearly certain that, when the new Congress is sworn in, a new and Democrat-led attempt will succeed.

Massie will be gone; he was defeated in the primary by Republican Ed Gallrein, who went on to win the general. It’s nice to see Massie go, but it doesn’t matter all that much because the Democrats now will have such a huge majority.

(3) And House members such as Mississippi Republican French Hill might just take Massie’s place in the sense of voting to impeach Hegseth:

A Republican congressman who narrowly won a seventh House term in deep-red Arkansas refused Sunday to rule out voting to impeach War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“I want to hear the debate on it to see if it merits impeachment versus some other disciplinary action or action by the president, if he’s not getting the job done in leading the Department of War,” Rep. French Hill (R-Ark.) told CBS News’ “Face The Nation.”

I’d love to hear his definition of “getting the job done.”

(4) This article is not a spoof, I’m afraid. It’s all too real, all too ironic (a mild word for it), and all too typical of the UN:

“The UN General Assembly just elected the murderous Islamic Republic of Iran to its Committee for Program and Coordination, the main body shaping the world organization’s priorities on Women’s Rights, Human Rights, Disarmament, and Counter-Terrorism,” [UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer] wrote on X/Twitter after the vote was announced.

(5) Back in the 1940s James Thurber had a cartoon series called The War Between Men and Women. You can find a great many of the cartoons at this site. For example, there’s this:

He saw women as inherently more aggressive in these skirmishes. It’s certainly not universally true, but it definitely sometimes is the case, and now that women are so prominent in politics (compared to the 1940s, it’s night and day) we see this sort of thing with increasing frequency. By “this sort of thing” I mean the continual claiming of the mantle of victimhood while simultaneously advocating the oppression of men:

It’s MUCH more important for boys to be socialized to identify/empathize with female POVs (something society has always failed with dire consequences for women) than for boys to develop a love of reading. If there are growing pains with this social endeavor that’s fine.

I know so many women who complain and complain about men in a kind of kneejerk way, much as they complain about the US.

(6) I have a long post in draft form on the topic of Thune, the SAVE Act, anger at the GOP members of Congress, and this past election. I’d hoped to get it ready today (I still have quite a bit to do on it), but I have had a lot of obligations to deal with today connected with chores involving my ex-husband.

I think I’ll get the post out tomorrow. I wanted to mention that I’m not ignoring the topic, which I think is huge. And you may find what I have to say on it to be different than what most people are saying.
