“Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy says an ‘all clear’ has been given at Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C. on Tuesday following an unfounded bomb threat against a United Airlines plane.’ Earlier today, a United flight from Houston to Washington D.C. received a bomb threat. The flight landed safely at DCA, passengers were evacuated, and law enforcement conducted a full search of the aircraft,’ Duffy wrote on X. … A ground stop was temporarily issued at the airport as passengers from the United Airlines flight were bussed to a terminal.” (11/04/25)

“Mamdani, seems to be the worst of the three choices as he is seeking greater government involvement in New Yorkers’ lives with city-owned grocery stores, free buses, rent control, etc. All of his ideas have been tried with dismal results, often if not always leading to worse lives for the poorest among us, even though he is promising what surface-level thinking looks like a utopia. A vote for Mamdani, is to bring NYC back to how life was there in the 1970s. And then Cuomo seems to be the second-worst choice, since we already know what he’s capable of. Many feel the guy should be in jail for any number of offenses. … Sliwa is the only ‘conservative’ in the race, and he has polled the lowest of the three, and from an individual freedom perspective, he’d be a no-go, but he may be the best of the worst.” (11/04/25)

“A supermassive black hole violently gobbled up an enormous star, producing a cosmic outburst with the light of 10 trillion suns, according to a new study. The black hole flare, as the phenomenon is known, is thought to be the biggest and most distant ever recorded — it was detected from 10 billion light-years away. ‘This is really a one-in-a-million object,’ said Matthew Graham, a research professor of astronomy at the California Institute of Technology and the lead author of the study, which was published Tuesday in the journal Nature Astronomy. Graham said a black hole flare is the most likely explanation based on the outburst’s intensity and duration, but follow-up studies will help the researchers confirm their findings.” (11/04/25)

“The Atlantic is a beautiful magazine, expertly designed and printed, lovely to behold: an excellent showpiece for your coffee table … but marred by absurdities. Currently, consider David Merritt Johns’s article ‘MAHA’s Blinkered War on ‘Groupthink’’ — and when I shift to reader mode, a second title appears: ‘In Defense of ‘Groupthink.’’ Of course The Atlantic defends groupthink! It’s been working mightily to shore up totalitarian mob-think, woke half-think, for years!” (11/04/25)

“The Biden Justice Department seized President Trump’s official cellphone from his first term and issued a subpoena for his personal call logs, Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed Tuesday. Bondi said the apparently unprecedented action was part of the Arctic Frost investigation of the steps by Trump and his allies to challenge his loss in the 2020 election. … Bondi did not say which phone company was subpoenaed for Trump’s personal call logs or whether the company complied or challenged the subpoena. Smith was prosecuting Trump for his effort to overturn the 2020 election results before the Republican won a second term last November.” (11/04/25)

“Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, felt the need to emphasize that the conservative think tank had absolutely no problem with [Tucker] Carlson or his decision to give [Nick] Fuentes a friendly interview. … ‘the American people expect us to be focusing on our political adversaries on the left, not attacking our friends on the right.’ Got that? Fuentes is arguing that conservatives need to be explicitly pro-White, and Carlson says he hates Christian Zionists more than anybody else, and it’s Carlson’s critics who are ‘sowing division.’ And I suppose we’re supposed to count these two among the Heritage Foundation’s ‘friends on the right.’ Unsurprisingly, a whole bunch of conservatives with functioning consciences publicly registered their displeasure.” (11/04/25)

“Here’s something for New York City residents to consider as they vote for Mayor, and for observers outside New York to consider as they watch the vote count: for the most part, Zohran Mamdani’s plans for the city are surprisingly affordable. Despite the frantic tone of mainstream media coverage (and the revolutionary overtones of the phrase ‘democratic socialist’) most of Mamdani’s agenda could be accomplished at minimal cost to the city. The only exception is his plan for free universal childcare, whose costs may have been overstated by his own campaign. Mamdani has proposed opening five city-owned grocery stores in the city, at a cost of $60 million. These stores would use city-owned property, which means they wouldn’t have to pay rent, and would sell the food at operating cost without making a profit. Would it work? Military commissaries are successful. So is Costco, which operates a trimmed-down, ‘bare bones’ store model.” (11/04/25)

“Recently, an investment advisor and Bitcoin proponent tweeted the claim that ‘[f]or most of human history’ the ‘[s]eparation of money and state was the norm, even if the state stamped their ruler’s face on the coin.’ Some strong disagreement (and some strong support) followed the tweet. The most categorical criticism asserted: ‘Money is and always has been a creation of government.’ A somewhat milder challenge asserted that ‘Private moneys have seldom been main media of exchange.’ First, let’s clarify the object of the discussion. If we define ‘money’ the way that economists usually do, to mean any ‘commonly accepted media of exchange,’ including bank deposits and other media of payment by account transfer, the claim that private money has been rare is obviously false.” (11/04/25)
