“Supporters of opposition political figures and state security forces continued to clash in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on Thursday after fighting broke out Wednesday evening ahead of a planned anti-government demonstration. No official casualty figures were immediately available from the violence that prompted calls for restraint from the United Nations and the United States as the government and opposition traded blame for the violence. Residents reported heavy gunfire and explosions as fighting broke out in several neighborhoods Wednesday. … Opposition figures say the rally planned for Thursday was intended to protest what they call constitutional violations and efforts by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud to extend his tenure. The government has rejected those allegations.” (06/04/26)

“Ultimately, the new Section 301 tariffs appear to be yet another attempt to give the president a blank check to impose tariffs at will. The same is true of the administration’s plans to use Section 301 to target ‘structural excess capacity,’ which rely on the absurd premise that it is somehow an unfair trade practice for countries to be able to produce more goods than they can use themselves.” (06/04/26)

“To be a RINO is a frequent accusation in today’s atmosphere, generally by those GOP types who claim to be ‘true conservatives.’ Or ‘real conservatives.’ Or ‘classical conservatives.’ Or even Trumpistas and MAGA types.” (06/03/26)

“Winds of change are blowing across California — and should bring hope to all Americans now suffering under arrogant Democratic-machine misrule. It looks like both Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt will be on the ballot this fall, for California governor and Los Angeles mayor — a huge sign of voter rebellion in a deep-blue state. No, the results aren’t final, because Cali authorities now take weeks to count the last ballots — itself a sign of institutionalized incompetence, as even Third World nations manage to get the task done in a day. Each man will be an underdog in November — but the machine candidates are such total mediocre-at-best hacks, and fury at machine-run government’s failures all across the Golden State is at such a high pitch, that the rebels’ odds are looking better than they have in years.” (06/03/26)

“Scandal-plagued democratic socialist Graham Platner’s continued controversies have led his former primary rival to speak out and remind Mainers that she remains on the ballot despite having suspended her campaign. Platner has been hit with one controversy after another, though he remains the heavy favorite heading into next Tuesday’s primary contest, as his only active opponent, David Costello, has failed to gain traction. But Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who suspended her campaign for Senate earlier this year, dropped a potential bombshell in comments to a Lewiston Sun-Journal columnist by suggesting Democrats could still vote for her in their effort to unseat 30-year incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, New England’s last remaining federal Republican officeholder.” (06/03/26)

“I have been recuperating from some health issues and have not been writing much, but I really don’t want to miss out on putting my oar in the water prior to the SpaceX IPO. As background, I love to watch what SpaceX is doing in launch and believe they have made a huge contribution to the world in doing so. As a former operator of hundreds of wilderness campgrounds, Starlink was the greatest single new technology for our business in 20 years. But you don’t automatically get your way with stock valuations just because what you do is cool and useful — there has to be some prospect of making back the investment.” (06/03/26)
