Let’s start by very briefly pointing to political developments in the Imperial City on the Potomac. There are two big stories today. The first is that Rep. Thomas Massie has stated that he will support MTG’s motion to vacate Mike Johnson. In a practical sense, this means that the motion could be brought to the floor of the House at virtually any moment, now that there’s a co-sponsor. The precipitating event appears to have been Johnson’s maneuvering to throw vast new sums of money to foreign client regimes, using means that are certain to have outraged Massie. American Conservative has a very good analysis:
BREAKING:  We think it will be very difficult to repeat the tremendous success we had in repelling the attack on Saturday, if Iran launches hundreds of missiles and UAVs again and the Israelis know it," an American senior official told Walla News.
The US Secretary of State Blinken told the Jewish leaders he met today that an escalation with Iran would not serve the interests of Israel or the US.
Blinken conveyed the same message in a conversation with Benny Gantz yesterday.
 U.S., NOT ISRAEL, SHOT DOWN MOST IRAN DRONES AND MISSILES
More than half of the Iranian drones and missiles that were downed were in fact shot down by the U.S. Navy and Air Force, and Israel would likely have struggled tremendously without direct U.S. intervention – U.S.…
UNIPARTY! Yeah, so many people want bipartisan government--here it is.

I applaud Massie. He’s one of the few principled conservatives left.
Johnson just told us that he is a wartime speaker. Is the US at war again? Isn’t it Johnson’s duty to submit a bill declaring war and take a vote?
The Sec of the Navy admitted that he needs $2B to resupply the Navy with new missiles to replace the ones that were used in the Middle East. I got the impression this was just to replace those that were used to shoot down the Houthi drones. The problem will be that printing $2B won’t cause the missiles to magically appear. Someone’s got to build them. Who will do it and how long will it take?
Macgregor didn’t disappoint today. He’s been right on so much which is why he isn’t invited on any of the mainstream media news’ shows.

I was wrong about Thomas. He did ask questions that indicated skepticism re the government case.
I applaud Massie. He’s one of the few principled conservatives left.
