Let’s keep talking about that group chat

There’s much spinning over the grave lapse in national security captured in that group chat outlining a planned bombing raid on the Houthi militia. It goes that it was not that big a deal because the mission was a success. It was not OK. It was lucky. The late-night comedians and “Saturday Night Live” had a good time turning the event into farce. We get the dark humor in having top military intelligence figures -- several unqualified to begin with -- discuss an attack plan on a Signal app and adding a journalist to the guest list. Russia is known to target Signal. Intelligence ...

Team Biden’s mistreatment of a pliant press corps

Michael LaRosa was Jill Biden’s press secretary for the first 18 months of Joe Biden’s presidency, and in recent weeks he’s loosened his lips about how Team Joe mistreated a pliant press corps. In an interview with Cenk Uygur on “The Young Turks” show, LaRosa admitted: “They did bully a lot of journalists, and I think they would tell you that now.

According to a Signal thread revealed by Goldberg, he was invited in by national security adviser Michael Waltz; other participants included Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller and a multitude of other cabinet officials. The thread included an open consideration about ...

Stand by, pothole season is coming

Can you feel it? With the coming of better weather, never mind that it’s punctuated by a tad bit of snow here and there, people tend to be in better moods. The warmer temperatures and sunny skies contribute mightily to that. Unfortunately, those influences will also help develop a brand new crop of potholes to vex our cars and trucks. The adverse affects of winter’s freezing and then thaws are evident on Upper Peninsula roads and this year is shaping up to be more of the same. It seems just about every roadway we travel is pocked fairly well with potholes of varying sizes and ...
