Take a look at our Congress.

8 FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday confirmed that the Trump administration was working to create legislation to target "birth tourism," the practice of traveling to the U.S. to give birth and secure citizenship for newborns.

That'd be cool.

Get it written and then pass it in the lame duck period real fast. Include some language that makes it easier to denaturalize people as well.

10 FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday confirmed that the Trump administration was working to create legislation to target "birth tourism," the practice of traveling to the U.S. to give birth and secure citizenship for newborns.


Patel was just in front of some committee where he asked a congressman how he managed to increase his net worth 4,000% since being elected.

11 GOPe Senators would vote to confirm Dem packees to the SCotUS, but not Trump nominees.

21 This may be a question for the Food Thread, but are day-old Quick Hits even tastier that way? Like chili? Or fried rice?

22 AI sez "Casein is not a single chemical entity with one fixed molecular weight, but rather a mixture of related phosphoproteins with molecular weights typically ranging from 19 kDa to 25 kDa"

Fairly big molecules, but prolly goats milk has casein too.

46 So two odds things I've noticed on the left side of the internet:

1) The left claims the US matching Canadian tariffs is fascism and an affront to Canadian autonomy. What...? You can argue all tariffs are bad sure. But...the argument here is the US can't set its own trade policy AND that matching other country's trade policy is taking away their autonomy?!?

2) The left has gone all in on "billionaires are why everything is expensive" and yet Musk and Bezos (while outside of giving money to Dems) have done nothing to me. My biggest bill is taxes. I'm paying twice as much for everything vs 5 years ago because of government spending and the costs of insurance and healthcare have skyrocketed because of all the foreigners the government has brought in. Musk/Bezos did none of that.

BREAKING….

Kevin Reddington, Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer, has federal tax liens of $2.37 million for unpaid taxes on his Marshfield mansion, according to public records on file at the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds.

Reddington bought his now-assessed-at-$2.3-million estate in 2017, and has liens from the IRS dating back to 2018, through 2024.

Reddington is the public face of the free-Lindsay Clancy mob that is so outraged that the holdout juror allegedly owes $12,600 in unpaid rent, and is being evicted by his landlord in Bridgewater.

There is no record that any of the $2.37 million in IRS liens on Reddington’s property have been discharged, i.e., paid off. Reddington did not return calls seeking comment on his apparently unpaid tax debts.

87 More from the NYP's item:
Starr’s explanation about the size of the animals and their “molecules” isn’t backed by science, but there are structural differences between goat and cow milk.

Research has found that goat milk generally contains a higher proportion of smaller fat globules than cow milk and differs in its fat and protein composition.

Those differences, along with the way the proteins form curds during digestion, may affect how the two types of milk are digested.

109 It’s pretty clear something has to be done about the hyper partisan and corrupt Supreme Court. They are killing our democracy one ruling at a time. I’ll support just about anything they want to do about it.

The legacy of Bitch McConnell. He had set his sights on filing the court with young, explicitly Conservative justices since the Obama era, and he does not get enough hate for it.

Obama shouldn’t have pressured Biden to let Hillary run instead in 2016. If he hadn’t, Biden probably wins in 2016 and we get a liberal majority court.

They stole a supreme court seat and used it to repeal women's healthcare and black voting rights, overturning both precedent and congress. There is no respect left for the supreme court. Democrats need to take a sledgehammer to the status quo.

The court is already packed. We need to talk about it that way.

Actually reducing the prices involves deflation, which the banks and big investors fear worse than fire. The Cantillionaires require inflation to keep them in the state that they have become accustomed.
So until we solve that problem you will continue to have the same inflation you have had since you were born.

I saw a video on YouTube the other day (so the following information must be true), but the reason they called Peart "the Professor" was not because he was so good on the drums, but instead it was due to his likeness to actor Russell Johnson who played the Professor on "Gilligan's Island".

126 The average yearly housing tax in Marshfield is about $8k/year.

How does this guy owe $2.4M?!?

A federal lien wouldn't be for real estate taxes. It would probably be an IRS lien, which the IRS likes to put on peoples' houses.

127 Let them eat goats' ...milk!

(More cows for me. Yum.)

128 Here's another thing on the economy, regarding Q2's numbers:

"Q2 2026 Government Spending Details

Overall Impact: The decline in government outlays subtracted about 0.2 percentage points from real gross domestic product (GDP) growth.

Federal vs. State: Federal outlays contracted by 4.2%, while combined federal and state/local outlays overall pulled down the sector, driven largely by reductions in nondefense spending despite a modest 2.4% increase in defense spending."

This is after Q4 of last year saw government spending contract by 5.6% (government shutdown everyone forgot happened) and then rebound partially with +4.4% in Q1.

Everyone has said forever that the key to economic growth and restricting inflation was contracting government spending.

Well, Trump's doing that.

And no, increased energy costs because of a conflict is not inflation.

We are seeing deflation in certain sectors (rents, a bit in groceries), but most economists blame deflation for a lot of the Great Depression.

So, the fear of deflation is deep and wide in economic circles.

Trump is reacting by trying to limit inflation as much as possible (he mentioned a 1% target a while back) and increasing economic output (wage growth, etc) which is one big reason he shat on the AI pullback effort.

137 The cost of goods exceed the inflation rate, bigly.

Eventually the sink flooded and ended up spilling onto the floor.

Not with California shutting down their refineries, we can't.

Not with those who would build new ones being gun shy because they know a Democrat administration will make their lives hell.

Our refineries are at capacity, which is a big reason gas prices are so sticky on the up side right now. When things actually do begin to cool down, demand will drop and the spreads will shrink and gas prices will fall.

It accelerates if Trump does the export ban thing, though.

216 Trump did run on inflation, but I seriously doubt it was one of the key factors in his win.

Inflation had largely come under control by the time 2024 election season started.

I think the strongest element was immigration. Life just got worse under Biden, and it was easy (and accurate) to point the finger at the millions of new arrivals who made the country worse in a myriad of ways (including driving up prices in ways that weren't inflation by increasing the demand for everything without increasing the supply).

I gave them back and walked out. I noticed the store was full of 20-30 olds shopping. I make a very good salary and that price made be say no. How the hell are these kids paying those prices?

Trump literally dropped all tariffs for 90 days on 300k tons of ground beef, and has opened up ivestigations and actions against the slaughter house cartel specifically to reduce market beef prices and everyone, including those who hate tariffs in the first place lost their minds over this declaring that this he is a traitor to the cattlemen.

Here in E. Iowa 80/20 ground beef is $5.99/lb, when it's on sale. That's what we used to pay for a choice NY Strip seven years ago. A strip is now $13.99/lb. A Porterhouse? $24.99/lb. Again, that's choice. Not even prime.

259 Get rid of the stupid ethanol mandate, and in a couple of years Beef prices would decline.

Its more complicated that than. Ethanol replaced MTBE—an octane increasing additive that California banned because it caused too much environmental damage.


And MTBE replaced TEL because Tetraethyl lead is considered bad for the environment too.

And the alternatives: Alkylate and Toluene, Xylene would increase the prices of fuel massively.

That might be a goal, but I expect increase in refining capacity to happen first, and then a drive to increase beef herds by redirecting corn to feedlots.
Otherwise it will get spun as "capriciously interfering with the markets" or screams about restricting access to fuel, or something like that.

Wednesday Morning Rant

A Hollow Justification

Over time - and over the past several years in particular - a common theme has arisen on these pages and in the wider world: the loss of trust. The loss of trust, be it institutional or personal, is easy to identify and straightforward to describe, but it can be difficult to internalize. It is hard, as Heinlein might put it, to grok it. Even if one acknowledges a loss of trust and intellectually understands that it has happened, nothing will prevent him from appealing to a trust that no longer exists. The concept of trust, and especially institutional trust, is deeply ingrained.

This phenomenon is what leads to baffling thinkpieces about how, despite the risks involved, an institution (usually a government) should be permitted to do X, Y or Z because the benefits are so great and the risks are small unless there are are dishonest operators. Such thinkpieces should be impossible to produce with any amount of seriousness in Current Year, yet they still come, sometimes from unlikely quarters. On Monday, JJ's Morning Report linked to just such a thinkpiece, published in the American Thinker.

That article, A Defense Of License Plate Readers, tries to build a case that automatic license plate readers - "ALPR" systems - like Flock are totally fine. It highlights perfectly a now baffling appeal to trust, as well as dipping into "ends justify the means" territory and supporting it with strawmen. It starts out with the appeal to trust, right in its sub-headline:

Should we dismantle a super-valuable law enforcement tool just because it's theoretically possible to abuse it?

Set aside for a moment that the risks are demonstrably not merely theoretical. The position itself is baffling. If anyone has not learned over the past decade that there is no daylight between a potential risk and a realized risk when it comes to government operations, that person is engaged in self-delusion.

But the article doesn't jump right in. In traditional fashion, it starts with a harrowing tale of a violent crime where the offender was found thanks to an ALPR system. There has to be some gut-tugging pathos right up front if the reader can be expected to ignore all of the problems to follow. If it saves just one life, dotchyaknow. After the emotional hook comes the false equivalence: that this is really no different from running a plate during a traffic stop, it's just a teeny little bit broader:

... Officers routinely consult computer-aided dispatch records; driver and vehicle databases; the National Crime Information Center (NCIC); the Interstate Identification Index (III); and various local, state, and regional intelligence systems. These resources allow officers to perform a wide array of investigative tasks. Officers routinely use them to identify wanted persons, locate stolen property, review criminal histories, and share intelligence with other agencies.

An ALPR database performs a very similar function. At its most basic level, it records that a publicly displayed license plate, attached to a particular vehicle, passed a particular location at a particular time. ...

Thus, consulting an ALPR database is not fundamentally different from querying a license plate or driver's license during a traffic stop or checking a suspect for warrants. Each task involves access to information for a legitimate law enforcement purpose. ...

Sure. Pull the other one. It jingles. These things are obviously not the same. One usually involves a traffic stop or, at least, human effort. That requires either a reason to engage in the query (the traffic stop) or enough desire to manually collect and run license plate numbers. Throwing out acronyms and drawing false equivalencies doesn't help the argument, but it does help confuse the issue - and so the tactic is useful.

Much later in the article comes the acknowledgment that these things are in fact different, but with an assertion that the difference should be ignored and can be obviated through arbitrary distinctions:

A routine license plate check begins with a vehicle that is already encountered by an officer. By contrast, ALPR cameras automatically collect the plate information of all vehicles that pass by. A network of cameras can then assemble those observations much more efficiently than individual officers watching traffic.

One concern that has been expressed is that ALPRs can be used to reconstruct one's location and activity history. This is a legitimate concern, and the solution is to adopt rules suited to the scale to which an ALPR system is used. Although a single ALPR hit is not the same thing as GPS tracking, broad or prolonged tracking should require a higher level of approval. In some cases, warrants should be required. However, short-term searches for a stolen car are not the same as reconstructing months of someone's movements.

In this case, they are the same. The dragnet is there and the panopticon is built. Setting a time limit on queries that needs a rubber stamp to override it is not a solution. To think it could be a solution is to still be burdened by institutional trust. That the writer has this burden is obvious from elsewhere in the article:

Every useful technology comes with risks. An officer can misuse a driver's license database to obtain an ex-girlfriend's address. A dispatcher can access criminal history or CAD notes without a legitimate reason. A detective can leak confidential information to a friend. Such conduct is already prohibited, and many officers have lost their law enforcement certifications and have been prosecuted for improperly accessing restricted information.

The problem with the "misuse" objection is that it proves way too much. If possible or actual misuse is enough to stop the public implementation of some technology, then it would apply to almost every government tool or power that has ever been used (whether in a criminal, civil, or administrative context). ...

Your terms are acceptable. Getting rid of ALPR systems would be a good start on a wider stand-down of mass surveillance technologies. The more the merrier. None of it - and none of its operators - can be trusted. "Misuse" (which I increasingly think is the wrong word, since these systems appear to be designed to be used in the "wrong" way) is not a risk, it is an inevitability - and it occurs almost immediately.

The entire class of thinkpieces from "conservatives" trying to rationalize mass surveillance technology with a rich history of egregious behavior by its operators is baffling. What about mass surveillance is suddenly rock-ribbed? Nothing. It comes from, I think, two sources. The first is vestigial trust, the belief that the system can be "safeguarded against abuse." It can't. Recent and more distant history does not show any success in safeguarding any system against abuse, which is why good systems design aims for systems that are smaller rather than larger and decentralized rather than centralized.

Outside of a poorly-construct and weak appeal to non-existent trust, I think there may be something more pernicious involved in some this: short-sighted faith that it's okay because "we're in charge." If you didn't click the links, go read the EFF and ILJ reports I referenced just below the fold. EFF in particular chose to cherry-pick specific abuses that are mostly around communist agitators like "No Kings" and abortion clinics while the ILJ focuses more on immigration and personal abuses like stalking, with no mention of any of these dragnets going against conservatives. Reports like these help provide a false sense of security to the "other side" - these systems are working for you! Comfort in advocating for these systems simply because "your side is in charge," if that is part of it, is short-sighted and foolish to the point of stupidity because even if it's true - and it isn't, as the last decade thoroughly demonstrates - "your side" will not be in charge forever.

Articles like this one that extol putative benefits but not the record of abuses, choose "safeguarding" and "rules" as a solution, hearken back to a world of trust that no longer exists, set up strawmen and drift into "the ends justify the means" territory on the back of bloody pathos are themselves prime evidence of core weakness of argument. Universal mass surveillance dragnets are a bad idea, are designed to be "misused" and are antithetical to liberty - and mental gymnastics in weak thinkpieces can do nothing to change that
