Watch: AG Pam Bondi Claps Back at Bitter Dem Congresswoman in Epic Congressional Face-Off
To me, watching Bondi (figuratively) spank this unfortunate “Karen” into oblivion is solid theater indeed.
Former Obama Aide Says Trump Should Thank Past Presidents on Iran, CNN Commentator Sets Her Straight
Jennings knew the Democrats on the panel would be unable to offer any positive feedback regarding Trump. He even tried offering advice before the show.
They're getting a taste of an angry President Trump. They might not like it if it gets worse.

ATF Downsizing on Gun Inspectors, Outrage Ensues for Stupid Reasons
Your rank and file ATF agent isn't the one walking into your local gun store to see if they're complying with the rules for FFLs. That's the job of a team of inspectors who have no actual arrest powers. They're different entities entirely.
Nobody Bats a Thousand, But Tucker Got This One Very Wrong
I am not one to believe that Trump can do no wrong, and I certainly believe that he is sometimes too optimistic about his ability to persuade others. See: Ukraine-Russia war.
But Trump doesn't bat a thousand, but he sure has a better hitting record than Tucker Carlson.
A Chick Was One of 'Our Boys' Who Bombed Iran. Mullahs and Democrats Hardest Hit.
Outing her to make a DEI point is dumb. After all, she's one of "our boys."

When will the media stop this bad habit: never doubt Trump.

White House What's Up
After a very busy Monday, President Donald Trump is on his way to the NATO Summit in the Netherlands. Before departing early Tuesday morning, he let it be known that he is not happy with Israel or Iran and their continued warring post-ceasefire.
Full Court Press...
The Supreme Court surprised us Monday with an order in the D.V.D. v. DHS case (on its Emergency Docket) staying a Massachusetts District Court injunction regarding the removal of illegal aliens to third countries. Late Monday, that same judge (Brian Murphy) opted to interpret the Supreme Court order as not affecting his later rulings, which were derivative of that injunction. This puts him on extraordinarily thin ice, in my view. We'll continue to watch this one today for further developments, as well as the Newsom v. Trump case (and many others).
COMING ATTRACTIONS
All eyes will undoubtedly be on President Trump as he attends the NATO Summit with a very tenuous ceasefire in place between Iran and Israel.
Vice President JD Vance is set to speak at the Ohio Republican Party dinner in Lima, Ohio, on Tuesday evening.
The Supreme Court will hand down additional decisions on Thursday.
MORNING MUSING
Going to have to keep the musing brief this morning as I'm unfortunately going to be making an impromptu visit to the vet with the pup, who's having tummy issues.
All I can think of to say at the moment is that there sure is a lot going on in the world right now, and it can be dizzying and disorienting trying to keep up with it all. The answer to that, I believe, is to keep our eyes fixed not on this politician or that ruler, on this influencer or that pundit, but on the One who holds the whole of it in His hands.
LIGHTER FARE
I'd probably just let him have it.
