Seinfeld nails it re the “privilege” narrative:

@mirandadevine Public spaces, whether monuments, movie theaters, libraries or train stations used to be beautiful. Now, sane people have to stay home because cities are too dangerous and the crazies have been allowed & encouraged to take over public spaces. 🤦

This has been a thing for 22 yrs but fascinating we’ve arrived at “Military service makes you good candidate if & only if you also hate war”

For Ds: Kerry -> 06 Blue Dogs -> Mayor Pete -> Platner

For Rs it’s notable that Vance (and Tulsi) hate war to the degree of near pacifism

Pete Hegseth in Normandy:

Sadly, today different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies.

In Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive.

When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?

Milton Friedman's greatest regret.

The federal government discovered the perfect crime in 1943: make employers collect taxes before workers ever see their paychecks. You think you earn $60,000 per year, but you actually earn $75,000 and hand over $15,000 to politicians without ever touching it. The psychological difference is enormous.

Before payroll withholding, Americans wrote quarterly checks directly to the Treasury. Picture yourself sitting at your kitchen table, writing a $3,750 check to the IRS every three months. The pain was immediate and visceral. Politicians faced constant pressure to justify every dollar because citizens felt the extraction in real time.

Withholding transforms this concrete loss into an abstract accounting entry. Your employer becomes an unpaid tax collector, and you never experience the actual cost of government. Worse, most people celebrate their tax refunds as government generosity rather than recognizing them as interest-free loans they provided to politicians. The Treasury collects your money throughout the year, spends it immediately, then returns your own cash and receives gratitude.

This system enables the explosion in government spending you witness today. Defense contractors billing $640 for toilet seats, agricultural subsidies for corn syrup, and congressional salaries for 535 people who rarely show up to work. When taxation feels painless, voters stop demanding accountability for how their money gets spent.

Milton Friedman helped design withholding as a wartime emergency measure and later called it his greatest regret. Free market economists recognized that the psychological pain of direct taxation creates political pressure for fiscal restraint. The temporary always becomes permanent in government hands, and the emergency justification disappears while the extraction mechanism remains forever.

Huh? Becerra has 26.7% and Hilton has 26.4% — how does that equal Beccera advancing? Hilton has been ahead all week by larger margins. The first time Becerra is ahead — and by only .03% — he’s the winner? 🤦🏻‍♀️

On the night of June 5, the 2026 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage arrived in Washington, D.C., bringing Christ present in the Eucharist to the heart of the nation during America’s 250th anniversary year.

Traveling more than 2,000 miles over six weeks, the pilgrimage brings the Eucharist through cities and communities across America, accompanied by nine young adult Perpetual Pilgrims and thousands of participants along the route. Father Charles Trullols, Director of the Catholic Information Center, accompanied the Eucharist across the Arlington Memorial Bridge—a powerful symbol of national unity and reconciliation—reflecting the pilgrimage’s theme, “One Nation Under God.” The crossing marked a profound moment of bringing Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, into the heart of the nation’s capital.

The pilgrimage vehicle then arrived on the National Mall, where Father Trullols carried the Eucharist alongside the nine Perpetual Pilgrims for a symbolic blessing of the nation, overlooking the Washington Monument and the U.S. Capitol.

This is more than a journey. It is a public testimony of devotion, revival, and the enduring presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
