L.A. in a Minute@LaInaMinute
Let’s settle this once and for all: Is it “L.A.” or “LA” ??? A seemingly simple, intuitive two-letter acronym is cause for great debate here in Los Angeles. Let’s get into it!

@JimDemetre @YitZionist @FedSocUCLA @DHSgov No, the ones crying are the children who are too weak to listen to viewpoints which are not their own, and too stupid to be able to articulate counter-arguments. Every one of those students is an enemy of the 1st Amendment, and therefore unqualified to be a lawyer.

Truly abhorrent and unimaginable behavior today at the @FedSocUCLA event that hosted a @DHSgov lawyer. Leftist students repeatedly disrupted the event, yelled profanities, shouted, made their phones ping incessantly, and eventually stormed out to a rally that violated all time, place, and manner restrictions. These students can’t handle @FedSoc event about the law, but will remain students at @UCLA_Law and
eventually be admitted to the Bar. It is a damning indictment on higher education that students behave so despicably.

@rzymianin @NotAbot421 @Aviation_Intel Yeah, that’s kinda the point. Boeing is already overextended with their regular orders to fill (which they are way behind on) AND the development of the F-47 (not to mention numerous other test airframes). They simply don’t have the capacity to produce the F/A-XX.

@GinoHard_ …Aaaaaaaand the @Canes win the game for a second time this evening, but there’s nothing the refs can do about this time.
Hey, since the @Canes won twice in one night, aren’t they now up 3-0 in the series? 😎

@GinoHard_ …Aaaaaaaand once again the self-important referees insert themselves into the game.

Obviously, this as with all crime is no joke.
With that out of the way, though, astonishing to me that this lady “fled” anywhere. Hobbled? Moseyed? Meandered?
In any event, go catch her.

Howard County Police have released footage of a woman shooting a gas station employee during an attempted robbery in Columbia, Maryland 🔫 The shooting occurred on Friday evening at the Shell gas station on the 7200 block of Cradlerock Way. The male victim, a clerk at the store, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. @HCPDNews are seeking the suspect seen below, who fled the scene after the shooting ⬇️

This article makes it painfully but obviously clear how much damage Chief Justice John Roberts has done to the institution of the nation’s highest court. History will take account.

@mike_frags @JustR_02 Screw all that. Trump should go for broke and nominate Don Willetts from the 5th Circuit.

@JustR_02 Collins would but it would be unlikely and possibly deserved. She has no problem with conservative justices.

Murkowski’s approach to judicial nominations is, well, murky. She famously voted against BK for reasons that only make sense if you understand that her base is professional women in Anchorage, and the female lawyers of Alaska descended on her office in force to oppose BK. 1/6

@carleven3 @ByfieldForHart My thought exactly. Not bloody likely. Canes were 3-1 against Flyers this year. Sure Philly beat them last week, but Carolina had 7 of its top 10 players out of uniform, and Philly still barely beat them. When at full strength, the Canes smeared the Flyers all over the ice.

RIP Garret Anderson, too young at 53. The analytics world never loved Anderson, but in his prime, he never came out of the lineup. .300 with 11 Runs, 13 RBI in 16 postseason games in the Angels' magical 2002 postseason run.

@NappyNoel004 @TheBrancaShow That’s wrong. The two destroyers made a full transit through the strait into the Persian Gulf, and then made a full transit back out. They dared the Iranians not once, but twice. Iran behaved just like the little mouse Khamenei.

@TheBrancaShow Folks. What Is Not Being Really Told To His Audience. He Didn’t Play The Whole Video. Also The End Result Were The U.S Naval Boat Did Take The Iranians Threat Seriously And Ended Up Turning Around Out Of The Straits.

Andrew Branca Show@TheBrancaShow
Trump Blockades Iran — Here's What Comes Next! LIVE RIGHT NOW! youtube.com/live/AwMlTxN9f… President Trump has ordered the blockade of Iranian ships and ports from the Strait of Hormuz — one of the most consequential geopolitical moves in years. In this video, attorney and political analyst Andrew Branca breaks down exactly what this order means, what legal and military authority underlies it, and why this moment matters far beyond the headlines. The Strait of Hormuz is the single most critical chokepoint in global oil and energy markets, and Iran has long used it as both a strategic asset and a pressure valve. Understanding this blockade requires understanding the history of the waterway, Iran's regional ambitions, and the economic and military leverage the United States is now deploying. Andrew walks you through all of it — clearly, and without the spin. Whether you're trying to make sense of breaking news or looking for the deeper context that most commentators skip, this is the analysis you need.

@GustavoStiebler @CENTCOM Did you miss the part of the announcement where the U.S. said ships that were already loaded/underway at the announcement of the blockade were given a 24 hour grace period to depart?
English
However, independent ship-tracking data from Kpler and LSEG (reported by Reuters, NYT, BBC Verify, and Al Jazeera) shows at least 3-4 Iran-linked tankers transited the Strait of Hormuz since then. At least two (e.g., Elpis from Bushehr, Christianna from Bandar Imam Khomeini) had called at Iranian ports and were carrying Iranian petroleum products like naphtha. Enforcement details and exact oil loads remain unclear due to possible grace periods or gaps.
English
More than 10,000 U.S. Sailors, Marines, and Airmen along with over a dozen warships and dozens of aircraft are executing the mission to blockade ships entering and departing Iranian ports. During the first 24 hours, no ships made it past the U.S. blockade and 6 merchant vessels complied with direction from U.S. forces to turn around to re-enter an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman.
The blockade is being enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. U.S. forces are supporting freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.

@CarolLago128065 @CENTCOM Wow. You’re not very smart, are you? That tugboat you found isn’t even beyond Larak Island, meaning it’s not even in the Strait or Hormuz, let alone having passed through it.

@FoxNews Where will these grocery stores get their stock? Private stores will pay more, so distributors will sell to them first. Is he going to force distributors to sell to the govt run stores?

“It is time for a grand experiment.”
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani makes his case for government-run grocery stores – insisting that the program will bring food costs down for residents.
Mamdani compares his program to the government response to the Great Depression, promising that staples like bread and eggs will be cheaper.
