WARMTH OF COLLECTIVISM UPDATE: Mayor Zohran Mamdani declares a "budget crisis," asks for a bailout from the state government, and pushes back his deadline for completing the city budget at least 10 days: "We cannot close this deficit with savings alone. We need new revenue, and we need a structural reset in our relationship with the state. That is the only way to meet our legal obligation to pass a balanced budget."

Bill Clinton: “The Palestinians were offered a state. They refused. A state wasn't their goal. Killing Jews was." This must be shared every single day.

This is tone-deaf. Democrat Senator Mark Kelly suggests President Trump should drop plans for a White House ballroom and instead push for gun restrictions and regulating social media companies. Kelly wants more gun control and Big Tech censorship. PSAKI: “President Trump is making this argument, it’s a security argument. He needs it. What do you make of his focus on that?” KELLY: “I mean…why is…instead of the ballroom, why isn’t he calling out the need for some stronger gun laws?” “Or maybe we should figure out how to regulate social media companies so they’re not making a profit off of dividing us as a nation.” “That’s where some of this dangerous action comes from. We have, you know, all these companies that they make money if they can divide us into two camps.” “And it heightens the rhetoric. And we get people that, you know, lash out because of these things.” “And then, by the way, what’s next? He builds this ballroom. He stays inside the compound.” “I mean, is he going to put up a moat or a wall next around the White House?” “I mean, our president is not a monarch!”

Today’s “Buzz’s Bedtime Stories” is a look at my initial experiences in the Clinton White House. A thread. 1) In the late 1990s, I was an Air Force pilot and Operations Officer for a C-141 squadron based at Travis Air Force Base, California. I was a single guy flying all over the world, sometimes in combat, and always with the American flag on my left shoulder. I had a squadron of really superb aircrews, the best I ever flew with. Great people, great mission, and successfully operating all over the world, whether combat, humanitarian aid, special operations. It was the greatest time of my life, personally and professionally, and I wouldn’t change a day. One morning I received a phone call in my office from the White House literally out of the blue. Initially I thought it was the guys down the hall screwing with me (military squadrons are like college fraternities; work really hard and play really hard), so I laughed and hung up. Immediately, the White House called me back and confirmed that they were, in fact, the White House. Chagrined, I took the second call and was quite a bit more respectful. 🤣 In a matter of weeks I was jetting across the nation to interview at the White House to be the President of the United States Air Force Military Aide and carry the “Nuclear Football.” THE most important piece of luggage in the world, containing the means to launch nuclear weapons at the commander in chief’s order. It’s not a job you apply for. They find you. They found me, and they hired me. In the spring of 1996, I assumed my new responsibility and went to work for President William Jefferson Clinton. The White House is an amazing place to work. An office complex surrounding the president’s residence with 200+ years of history. I vividly remember walking into the building for the first time in the spring of 1996. It was a beautiful spring morning, cherry blossoms blooming, and a glorious blue sky. As I strolled up the walk to the East Wing entrance, a young major suddenly transplanted from an operational flying organization into the most important building in the world, little did I know at the time that it would be a moment that changed me forever. The walls smell like American history. I used to spend lonely evenings walking around the mansion and looking at historical books in the library, one of my favorite rooms in the building. Once, killing time, I started pulling books out of the shelves and leafing through them. One was owned by George Washington. The inscription to him is still legible. I was holding a book that George Washington once held. It was sobering and underscored the significance of the building I worked in. In the end, though, the White House is both a residence and an office complex. Typically, it’s extremely busy during the day and eerily quiet at night. As a military aide, I had an office and a bedroom in the East Wing and would share presidential coverage with my fellow military aides, one officer from each of the services. The best of the best from each service. In fact, my Navy brother would go on to be CNO. Unfortunately, the president we were chosen to work for was Bill Clinton. Carrying the “nuclear football” is a sobering responsibility. For military aides, you are literally carrying the means to destroy the world in a large, black suitcase. A brief look back at our history reveals that with the development of nuclear weapons post-WWII, the Eisenhower administration implemented a set of nuclear protocols that included targeting and secured communications. The Kennedy administration eventually assigned these duties to the military aide, and every president since has had a military officer in close proximity to the president with the suitcase. As you read this, today, a military aide is within very close proximity to President Trump. (Continue)

the more we hear about The Mammoth Ballroom With the Mammoth Bunker Beneath the more uneasy we are feeling. why is this so important to T***p? why, right now? in the midst of a war the president has started? no other US president has ever obsessed so publicly about something so (apparently) minor which has virtually no bearing on the lives of 99.9% of Americans, will not improve anyone's life to any degree, or make much difference in US history. security is an issue anywhere the US president goes including his golf courses. unless he plans to never leave The Mammoth Ballroom With the Mammoth Bunker Beneath there will always be security issues so the literal ballroom is hardly the issue. any ideas what The Mammoth Ballroom With the Mammoth Bunker Below really entails?

Comey: Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go. But it's really important that all of us remember this is not who we are as a country. This is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be. And the good news is we get closer every day to restoring those values. Keep the faith.
