What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.
Fair winds and following seas, Captain. Really, been a bad week for ST fans. R.I.P.

I appreciate the positive attention from new corners of the political Twitterverse.
But if you’re a Democrat who opposes these actions by Republicans but supports any of them from your own party, you also missed the point of the article.
From me @NRO, with a frightening warning to voters:

I have not enjoyed a World Series without the Yankees or the Nats in it this much in a long while. I hope they can find beer in Milwaukee to celebate.
So far Munich was the most disasterous Olympics. So it's a high bar.

It involves tweets from @JudgeDillard which I did not know, and I've met Evan Young and the attorney is trans (male appearing). Even more the hostility for a New York lawyer on top of everything else! Did Texas lawyers just put up with this?
I've tweeted about this before but it seems the Ol' Girl is really going to Davy Jones locker this time. My second crossing of the Atlantic was aboard her last in 1969. R.I.P. yahoo.com/news/science/artic…

You can't come into this government building to petition the government!
🚫 Banned from a federal agency for speaking up?
Lobbyist Edward Krenik was barred from @USCPSC facilities and restricted from contacting agency personnel after raising concerns with the White House about the agency and its acting chairman, @FeldmanCPSC.
On the latest episode of Unwritten Law, NCLA’s @VecchTweets, Mark Chenoweth, and @Kara_Mc_Rollins discuss Krenik’s case and why NCLA is fighting to protect his rights to free speech, petition the government, and due process.

The Failing NRO! Coming soon!
This is my new favorite @NRO article. I am very curious as to see how many people don't click any of the links. nationalreview.com/corner/a-…
And when @AndrewCMcCarthy and @jacklgoldsmith opine it's a bad cop, it's a bad cop. It's like Phil Rizzuto saying the Yankees screwed up.
The Trump DOJ’s Latest Absurd Charge Against Comey nationalreview.com/2026/10/t… Absolute tour de force by @AndrewCMcCarthy ... @JanCBS @ShannonBream @brithume @marklevinshow @BretBaier I can't stand Comey. His lawyer Fitzgerald makes me ill. But this alleged indictment is a farce.
The funniest thing that could possibly happen is that Bibi makes a deal with the Arab parties in a Nixon to China domestic move to retain power.
For those interested, @israel_elects has great, up-to-date, info on Israeli electoral politics, and today's turnout and (soon-to-be) election results.

As Ron DeSantis enters the final weeks of his governorship of Florida, look at what he has accomplished.
His record is nothing short of miraculous and may be the single most effective governorship in the history of the United States.
Let’s remember….
He was the first to stand up to crazy COVID restrictions and reopen schools and businesses, he led the nation in school choice with more than half 1 million families now in the school of their choosing, he eliminated state debt and left the state with 18 billion in rainy day funds, and most importantly he signed the Heartbeat Protection Act, which ended most abortions after six weeks.
Everyone I know who lives in Florida says it is the most well-run state in the country. Well done governor!🙏
Puts Senator Slotnik's comments in perspective. Sad to see Trent McCotter's name on this. This is lawfare and there is no principled way to decry what happened to Trump in NY, @JeffClarkUS and @DrJohnEastman before their respective bars and not also condemn this.
Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.
They filed the charges on the last day of the 10-year deadline and skipped the grand jury. Comey is already moving to dismiss, arguing the extended deadline only applies to indictments

Read widely. Read Mark Bowden’s book. Read Cheney’s book. Read Bill Barr’s book. @baseballcrank wrote a very good analysis of the election results for National Review. All agreed Trump lost with no substantial fraud. Trump’s claims weren’t just lies, they were stupid lies.

Eric Hoffer wrote this article about Israel almost 60 years go. It reads like it was written yesterday.
"The Jews are a peculiar people: things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews.
Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it, Poland and Czechoslovakia did it, Turkey threw out a million Greeks, and Algeria a million Frenchmen. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese-and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis.
Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world.
Other nations when they are defeated survive and recover but should Israel be defeated it would be destroyed. Had Nasser triumphed last June he would have wiped Israel off the map, and no one would have lifted a finger to save the Jews.
No commitment to the Jews by any government, including our own, is worth the paper it is written on. There is a cry of outrage all over the world when people die in Vietnam or when two Negroes are executed in Rhodesia. But when Hitler slaughtered Jews no one remonstrated with him.
The Swedes, who are ready to break of diplomatic relations with America because of what we do in Vietnam, did not let out a peep when Hitler was slaughtering Jews. They sent Hitler choice iron ore, and ball bearings, and serviced his troop trains to Norway.
The Jews are alone in the world. If Israel survives, it will be solely because of Jewish efforts. And Jewish resources. Yet at this moment Israel is our only reliable and unconditional ally. We can rely more on Israel than Israel can rely on us. And one has only to imagine what would have happened last summer had the Arabs and their Russian backers won the war to realize how vital the survival of Israel is to America and the West in general.
I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish the holocaust will be upon us."
