😎

Keeping it the headlines a little bit longer.  Especially when this is the story:
The tourist said he recognized Paxton, Texas’ attorney general and now the state’s Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, walking near the London Eye with his mistress, Tracy Duhan, on July 1. The man recorded an 18-second clip and walked away, according to the exclusive report.

Moments later, he said, Paxton bumped his shoulder and demanded to know whether he had been filming him.

"I can absolutely film you,” the tourist recalled answering. “You're a public figure in a public place, and I can film you all I want.”

Paxton reportedly demanded to see the footage before twice lunging for the man’s phone.

“He says, ‘You can't do that. Let me have your phone. I want your phone,’ and then at this point it's a confrontation,” the tourist said.

“He's yelling at me, and I'm telling him to back off,” the man added, according to the report. “He lunged at the phone a second time and tried to force it from me.”

Paxton reportedly walked away after the tourist’s wife pulled out her own phone to record the overseas confrontation. The couple said they later reported the encounter to London police but have not pursued charges over fear of retaliation from MAGA world, or Paxton, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, the Daily Mail reported Monday.
Now we know why Paxton does so few public events and runs away from questions.

If this guy had had a pen, Paxton would have stolen it.

Paxton’s campaign is mum. Rapid response fail.

Yesterday: — Acyn (@Acyn) September 13, 2026 Later today:
Trump: The people that say Al is going to destroy the World, and that Data Centers are bad for your neighborhood, are the same people that said, just a short time ago, that the World would be extinguished by "Climate Change." That HOAX never worked out for them, and now they're on to the next one.

These people are Revolutionaries, but Revolutionaries for a Bad and Evil Cause. Soon you'll find out they're working for people that do not have the best interests of the United States in mind!
Flock cameras and AI are good for you! You must accept the way of the Tech Bros! Anything else is counter-revolutionary and unmutual!

The Texas Railroad Commission Is A Three Member Body…

 …that most Texans don’t even know exists, much less that they elect the members. Bo French seems determined to change that in a atmosphere that has already seen Tarrant County (where he was GOP county chair, and so racist Abbott and Patrick publicly asked him to step down) elect a Democrat in a special election for the first time in decades.

Texas Railroad Commissioner candidate Bo French stood by racist remarks he made Sunday on social media that included a photo of South Asian students celebrating a football game at the University of Texas at Austin, arguing the university promotes discriminatory enrollment practices that favor students of color.
Republicans are in disarray in Texas:
“This is racism, plain and simple,” wrote state Rep. Drew Darby, R-San Angelo, who holds great sway in the Texas Legislature as chair of the House Energy Resources Committee. “I have served on the Energy Resources Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Railroad Commission, for most of my tenure in the Texas House, and I have never seen conduct so unbecoming of a Railroad Commissioner or candidate in that time.”

“The right thing to do is immediately delete this and issue an apology.”
Yeah, that’s not gonna happen:
“I don’t have anything against the people specifically in that picture,” [French] told [Mark] Davis [in a radio interview Monday]. “I think that the bigger conversation is, are we going to have policies to prioritize Americans … or are we going to have policies that prioritize foreigners? And I think most people in the America First movement think we ought to be prioritizing Americans.”
In that same interview:
He said UT-Austin and other institutions have prioritized foreign students and workers, which, without evidence, [he] said has resulted in fraud.
French's opponent is already benefiting from this:
Rosenthal on Monday told the Texas Tribune that French’s remarks led to a fundraising boost for his campaign that added 500 new donors who contributed $35,000.

“Republicans, Democrats and Independents are uniting behind our campaign because they know the economic engine of the Texas miracle needs steady leadership at the helm — and Bo French’s racist outbursts jeopardize the credibility of the agency he seeks to run,” Rosenthal said in a statement. “Bo French’s own party has said he is unfit for the office he seeks to hold — and Texans are putting their money behind the oil field engineer who is qualified for it.”
French may be turning into Paxton. Republicans are certainly in disarray.
The Texas Oil and Gas Association, whose political arm endorsed French last week, on Monday shared a post by House Speaker Dustin Burrows in which he said, “You can oppose immigration policy without demeaning people because of their race or ethnicity — this post has crossed the line,” and calling on the post to be deleted.

“We agree with Speaker Burrows,” the association wrote.
Not exactly a condemnation of racism (it takes me back to the arguments over the finer points of “racism” v. “prejudice” of my childhood. IYKYK.), but it will be interesting if French bows to the demands of the most important oil industry organization in Texas.

Or will he defiantly keep this alive?  Jon Rosenthal can certainly use the money. 😈

“The Only Control That AI Needs Is A STRONG AND SMART (High IQ) President…”

Too bad we don’t have one. “Covid will just go away one day.” “The price of gas will go down after the election.” “We have trillions of dollars coming in from tariffs.”

Sound familiar?

“Boom. ‘I don’t like that robot.’”

The problem with Asimov’s vaunted “Three Laws of Robotics” is that it depended on the robot understanding the human concept of “harm.” And actually giving a shit about harming a human. You don’t let a toddler play with a shotgun, for the same reason.

And the threat of robots is very cinematic, but J.G. Ballard’s “The Subliminal Man” was much closer to reality. It’s not the human simulacra we need to worry about; it’s the technological systems. Even Musk can’t build a human simulacra (arguably he can’t even build a car). But AI is in computer systems; and the threat already is what it will do there.

Trump has the technological understanding of Elon Musk: none at all. But he’ll chase a buck to the ends of the earth, and trample down anything in his way. Just like Musk. They’re two peas in a pod: stupid narcissists who stumbled into money, and convinced people to give up theirs to them.

If AI isn’t that stupid, it’s already smarter than us.

“LOOK! OVER THERE!”

Which are so expensive we can only afford a few at a time, and when we use those up….
Trump is having a Crashout Monday on Truth Social: "Oil is flowing through the Hormuz Strait. The Countries of the World, which have been no help to us whatsoever, should, and will, reimburse the United States of America when this SCAM Confligration is all over. We are doing it much more for others, than we are for ourselves, and we have been for Generations! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
They will reimburse us before, or after, Mexico pays for the wall?

More trustworthy reporting.
Trump's Crashout Monday continues: "I hope everyone realizes that price increases throughout America were caused by Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, not by “TRUMP.” Even Oil was higher under Biden than it is right now, and we prevented Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon! With the temporary exception of Oil, prices are coming down sharply, and Oil will drop like a rock as soon as the Military Conflict with Iran is over, and that will not be long. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
Tl;dr: “IT’S NOT MY FAULT!”—DJT It’s really hard not to think of this as: “DON’T LOOK AT TRUMP, LOOK OVER THERE!”

Didn’t Trump Call Himself “The King Of Debt”?

And wasn’t his “business” largely a matter of spending other people’s money? I don’t think any of those bankruptcies were personal. He set up separate entities that failed and took everyone the entity owed money, down with them. But never Trump. Or getting them to give him money, without always giving anything in return (the Saudis couldn’t get any help with the Houthis)? The rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the blighted tree.

And yes, it’s a national security problem. Then again, Trump I showed Russian officials around the west wing of the White House.

You already paid for this.

It’s an easy promise. Republicans won’t “win” (he hasn’t defined the terms of the offer, has he?), so he won’t have to pay up. Trump will be too busy screaming about the “rigged” election, anyway. And it’ll cure your warts and improve your sex like life!

Well, Ken, You Fucked That Up, Too

Cornyn’s message prompted a flood of criticisms against French from several Texas Republican state representatives.

“You can oppose immigration policy without demeaning people because of their race or ethnicity — this post has crossed the line,” said House Speaker Dustin Burrows.

Others took an even firmer stance.

Former House Speaker Dade Phelan called French “unfit for office.” State Rep. Jared Patterson said Texans deserve Railroad Commissioners who do their job instead of “using a statewide campaign as a platform for racial division.” And state Rep. Drew Darby lamented that he has “never seen conduct so unbecoming of a Railroad Commissioner or candidate in that time.”

Darby’s call for French to apologize came with a threat.

“If not, I would remind any candidate that the Texas Legislature has granted the Railroad Commission broad discretion in carrying out its duties — because we have trusted the competence and fairness of those who serve. That trust can be revisited,” Darby, who chairs the House’s Energy Resources committee, added in his post on X.

“If Mr. French wants to regulate immigration policy, he should have run for Congress.”
It's not to be overlooked that French won the GOP primary to get on the November ballot. Nor that:
This was not the first time that elected Texas Republican officials have blasted French for his racist remarks, but it remains to be seen whether these criticisms would blunt his rise to statewide office.
Gov. Abbott and Lite Guv Dan Patrick both criticized French for his racism, until he won his primary. Then, oddly, it didn’t seem to matter. As I said before, I think Cornyn is just waking up to how racist his party is, now that it’s through with him.

The Great Sin Of The Boomers…

... was setting adolescent males as the standard of “cool.”

Over 60 years later, their sheer numbers are still casting a shadow we haven’t stepped out from under. It’s why Trump and MAGA are still in control.  And why they won’t be much longer.

Trump Wants Control Of The Kennedy Center….

 …or he’ll hold his breath until his face turns blue.

The paper said a report, prepared by the institution's ​trustees, claims that within a few weeks the institution [the Kennedy Center] won't be able to pay employees or meet maintenance costs. The report ​was prepared in advance of a meeting that ​is scheduled for Tuesday.

The Post also said that Trump will ‌help ⁠the Kennedy Center if his involvement is acknowledged. The trustees' report represents "a remarkable new phase in Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center, which has been engulfed ​by financial turmoil, ​leadership upheaval ⁠and litigation since he installed himself as chairman last year," the paper said.
I don’t honestly know the operating structure of the Kennedy Center, but I don’t think Trump can force it into bankruptcy. It is, after all, owned by the federal government, operated as a bureau of the Smithsonian, and a federal judge has already ruled Trump can’t close it “for renovations.” (Trump probably imagines that, since he can’t bring the Center under the rubric of “national security,” he’ll just threaten to bankrupt it.)

Trump has no fucking idea what he’s doing. Which is why he thinks he can hold his breath until he gets his way.

He really is a toddler.

The Fish Rots….

French is running for a place on the Texas Railroad Commission (regulates oil production in Texas). Gov. Abbott is running for reelection, so he’s more of a weasel than the Senator. Abbott blames the picture:
“That is not my message,” Abbott said. “A selective picture of Longhorn fans celebrating our biggest home victory-ever-actually shows a way that Texans unite. We all support our college football teams.”

“The way we win the state is the same way we win football games,” Abbott added. “We unite under the brand of Texas.”

Abbott also defended Texas’ hard-line immigration policies, saying unity “doesn’t mean that Texas cannot also lead in having the toughest immigration laws of any state in America and freezing H1B visas at our universities.”
So, does he agree with French? Or is it no big? Texans also unite for racism, asshole. At least the racists I’ve known think so. They also think the rest of us just don’t understand. 

Like French. And Abbott, apparently. Of course, it comes down from the top. Cornyn should be realizing about now he’s the last decent man in the GOP. And he’s on the way out.

This just seems to fit here; and I like it.

How Many Cases Has DOJ Lost Against Trump’s “Enemies”?

Your reminder that Homan is not a lawyer and does NOT even play one on TeeVee. (The “case” against Omar isn’t going to happen. If it does, Elmo’s number is up in  ‘29.)

How you do it right:
El-Sayed: Weijia, with all due respect this is the third time you've asked about a twitch streamer in California. I'm not interested in having a conversation with streamers in California because they are not raising the prices of gas and groceries.

Let's actually talk about the issues that are affecting people instead of getting distracted by whatever the president says we should be talking about. Their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact that the president has made $2.2 billion. His family has made even more. How about your family in Michigan?
How you do it wrong.
On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, the New York Times spent time and resources analyzing the Reflecting Pool.

And they continue to avoid doing any real reporting on all the vandalism that has clearly happened at the Reflecting Pool:
- 342 feet of razor blade slashes
- "8647" spray painted in massive black letters on the pool
- U.S. Attorney's Office: "The NPS employee...stated that the defendant then knelt, placed both hands into the reflecting pool—below the surface of the water—and started to ‘violently’ rip and tug at a large portion of the blue pool coating."
- "8647" chemical bums on the nearby grass
Yes, that is quoting testimony never presented in public because DOJ dropped the “vandalism” claim for lack of evidence. And “razor blade “slashes” that weren’t found when the pool was drained. The numbers in the photo of the “8647” are so perfect it must be AI, not real. DOI is determined to rebut the NYT article quoting the contractor who says the job was done wrong.
Like any major construction project—and in this case, the world's largest reflecting pool that was worked on in record time for the 250th celebrations in Washington, DC—there were parts of the project where the contractor has returned to make sure the work is perfect. And with the major vandalism of long razor-blade gashes, the contractor is also replacing the sections of the pool damaged by vandals, who also repeatedly reached into the pool and ripped at the coating.
The contractor told NYT they returned to start over, because the first try was a complete cock-up.

DOI just will not accept that they’re never going to make “fetch vandalism” happen. But let’s talk about Hasan Piker! Gossip is much more interesting!

Trump Is Stuck In Neutral

Q: Are you considering withdrawing from the USMCA deal?

Trump: What does that mean?

Q: Are you considering withdrawing from the USMCA deal with U.S., Mexico and Canada?

Trump: No, I get along great. We're going to have a great relationship with Mexico. We actually have a good one with Canada. Canada wants to make a deal very badly
No, that wasn’t the worst part. It was built on rejecting diversity and dividing the country finally into white (European, though that took awhile), and non-white. Most of the labor that made white people rich was done by non-white people; well, and poor whites who were kept poor. Even slavery in America wasn’t good for 500 years. He has to work himself up to it. Completely clueless. It’s honestly hard to imagine someone so ignorant in such a position of responsibility and authority. He diminishes the nation.

Trump Is Stuck In The ‘70’s

I get the talking point, because Trump is using Carr to abuse the authority of the FCC. (Disney/ABC could tell Carr to pound sand, but affiliated stations are not run by Disney and could choose to avoid the legal troubles. Or Sinclair could pull Kimmel again….). But the truth is, the Fairness Doctrine doesn’t apply to cable. It only applies to broadcast. And who’s watching broadcast TV 📺 anymore? Except, I mean, Boomers. Who we’re all supposed to despise, now. Gotta blame somebody, right? As I was saying, not seeing this: on TeeVee doesn’t mean people aren’t seeing it. If anything, Carr made sure more people see it.   Idiots.

(And Talarico is interpreting scriptures and Xian doctrine the way I was taught to do in seminary. It’s only “radical” and “dangerous” if you want to keep people under your thumb. Watching Robert Jeffress at the Trumpapalooza, it was clear he likes his congregation ignorant and knowing only the scripture he tells them about. Jeffress is big on the “personal relationship with Jesus”* that, as Talarico says, excuses everything else. Which is ironically close to the Reformation protest of the RC’s practice of selling indulgences. Talarico cites Matthew 25 (“Lord, when did we see you?”) for the argument that what the Lord requires of us is to take care of each other.  Jeffress prefers to divide us between those on his side, and everyone else. And “everyone” covers a lot of people. But it’s “everyone” who we are called to help. That’s what I learned in seminary. Good theology is always good for you.)

*His emphasis on John 14:6 is the classic choice for exclusion, because he means “coming to God” only through his ideas of God. No other need apply. Which is to put himself in the seat of judgment. But isn’t that what Jesus criticized the Pharisees for doing?

Well, We’ll Always Have Ireland 🇮🇪

Trump: The war will be over very shortly after the election. They're hanging out for dear life, hoping that we lose so they can deal with dumb weak Democrats and they can have their nuclear bomb. So they're going to be quitting or dropping out or who knows what the hell, whatever it is…
While Trump wants everyone to focus on his fake cash giveaways, this is the single most consequential story of the moment.

Iran-backed Houthis just took effective control of the Bab al-Mandeb strait, one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints.

This route carries a huge share of global oil and trade. When it gets disrupted, energy prices rise and shipping costs explode.

Iran’s proxies just gained a much stronger position and they are set to make more gains in the region.

Trump’s war will go down as one of the biggest foreign policy disasters in history.
The Houthis seized Mayun Island, also known as Perim Island, in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, according to various reports from the region.

The small volcanic island is strategically important because it sits inside the strait and divides the waterway into two shipping channels. Control of Mayun gives the Houthis a significant position from which to monitor and potentially threaten commercial vessels transiting between the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

The seizure comes just one day after the Houthis captured the strategic port city of Mocha and as their forces advance toward Dhubab on the Yemeni mainland. Together, these gains put the Houthis in a substantially stronger position around one of the world's most important maritime chokepoints.
Axios reports that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called President Trump twice Thursday and urged the U.S. to launch strikes against the Houthis as the group advanced toward the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Trump declined, and U.S. officials said the administration currently has no plans for direct military action against the Houthis.

The request marks a shift from July, when Riyadh told Washington it could handle the Houthi threat itself and Trump backed Saudi military action. Since then, the conflict has expanded, with the Houthis capturing the Red Sea port of Mokha and advancing toward the Bab al-Mandeb.

Axios reports the U.S. is instead increasing intelligence and targeting support to Saudi Arabia. About 200 U.S. personnel are reportedly providing nonkinetic support, while CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper traveled to Saudi Arabia for urgent coordination talks.

The administration is seeking to keep the Red Sea open without adding another front to a U.S. military effort already heavily focused on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Trump is off to Ireland for the Irish Open being played on his golf course there.

Morning Notes, With Rabies

MAHA A/k/a “culling the herd.” He’s not speaking. They’re not talking about him. I’m old enough to remember when Biden did this after an overseas trip in October. It was in the headlines and chewed over by the chattering class until January of the following year. "Look deep into my eyes. 👀 You are getting sleepy, very sleepy. Gas prices are down. When I snap my fingers, you will wake up believing it!”

(Crude oil prices are down almost 3% today. That could change by close of business. But Brent is still at $104, and WTI at $99. The price at the pump is not going anywhere, except probably up.)
I had to come back to it. GOAT:
Local health departments in North Carolina have evaluated hundreds of people for rabies after they interacted with baby goats that were part of a mobile petting zoo, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services.

As of Wednesday, 284 people have been evaluated by local health departments, while others have consulted with a healthcare provider directly to assess their potential rabies risk.

The goats were owned by Farm Adventures, based in Harmony, North Carolina. Between July 28 and August 27, local officials said in a statement, the farm took the goats throughout the state and visited at least 10 locations, including a Masonic picnic, assisted living centers and a back-to-school bash, as well as private events.
Since July 2026, multiple United States jurisdictions have reported local increases in human rabies exposures involving known rabies vectors or animals in which rabies is less commonly reported. Several high-profile rabies outbreaks and mass rabies exposure events have highlighted the importance of performing careful rabies risk assessments and following evidence-based recommendations for administering PEP.
Culling the herd.

Pretty Much The Definition

Every confession is…a confession. Like that one. Is he any good at lowering inflation? Or gas prices? Or staying out of unnecessary and costly wars? Lowering deficits? Governing, at all?

Because being good at making up insults is the kind of thing kids on the playground take pride in.

And Talarico turned that one into a t-shirt his supporters wear, back before summer. If you come all the way down to Texas, try to keep up, huh? You’re just embarrassing yourself.
Is he talking about Talarico, or about Trump? 9:15 and Trump takes the stage. And yes, that’s what they’re chanting. It can go back down by $44,000, too. Don’t you feel lucky, now? So then he got back on script 🤷‍♂️ and repeated his comments on Paxton’s looks, money for everybody if the GOP keeps Congress, even that “thousands of people” are standing outside, again. They even repeated a Piker picture: Have they so quickly run out of ideas? Well, he did show respect for Jesus. I guess that’s what that is.

As God is my witness,🙋‍♂️ I did not think Joe diGenova knew the meaning of the word “ethics.” I’m having violent fantasies that show no respect for Jesus, but would rid the country of a lot of problems in one go.

Trump then asked the crowd whether Iran could have a nuclear weapon. After receiving the answer “Absolutely not,” he declared, “Well then I’m right then, I win.”
