If this is true, is it likely that Durbin is protecting only Bill Clinton? Clinton’s presence on the flight logs would seem to be old news, already priced into the market. But who else might turn up? https://t.co/GYN09HRfRZ

.@Semafor: “Parole” is “one of the Biden administrations tools for managing the border.” Sounds benign! Parole is meant for a relative handful of humanitarian cases–eg foreigners who need operations. But Biden has used it to sluice in 718,000 migrants https://t.co/ihI3AYVnA1

One thing I didn’t realize: Many Democratic viewers, having read their social media and the incredibly anti-DeSantis MSM, were probably expecting him to be a dumb Troglodyte thug. He beat the hell out of those expectations (bodes well if he gets in a nationwide general election). https://t.co/ZpsK1uzFs3

One way to think of it: If you made an AI fake and took DeSantis’ words and had Newsom say them, and took Newsom’s words and had DeSantis say them, it would have been one of the greatest wipeouts (in favor of DeSantis’ words) in debate history.

DeSantis clearly wins the Web outtake contest, with the father-in-law clip and the SF feces bite. the toothpaste clip and the school closure issue. If you watched, though, it was closer.

That said, Newsom is clearly a slicker TV presence. DeSantis is the guy you’d rather have as governor, but his affect didn’t quite match that. Should be more calm authority (the facts were on his side) less non-stop combative.

Common sense from the late Charlie Munger: “Very few people want unlimited immigration of a different culture.” Also: ” I think we should have way more control of our borders than we do.

Of course the need to pay high UAW production costs may need unionized carmakers to concentrate on models with lots of non-crucial features (“Trailer Backup Assist”) that can justify a high price (for those who can afford it).

Another reason cars cost so much: Not the UAW, or Bidenflation–they’re just way too complex. Crack a taillight on a late model Ford F-150 truck and it could cost $5,600 to repair, due to assorted electronic complications. https://t.co/xtun6QDLrI
