Joseph Lawler’s learned essay on induced demand, looking at the case of highway expansion in Austin, Texas, is fair-minded, but somehow seems more about theory than actual reality. He talks about down- town as if it really mattered all that much. It doesn’t.
Compared to many downtowns, Austin has done well, and a decade ago it was seen as among the most successful in the nation. But more recently, downtown Austin has experienced a rapid increase in office vacancies, up from 14 percent in 2022 to 18 percent in 2023. In contrast, almost all of the growth—in population, employment, and infrastruc- ture—is on the periphery, in suburbs like Cedar Park and Round Rock. Austin’s leaders like to talk about a big new urbanist gain, but the people are headed predominantly in the opposite direction.
and the “experts” get so irritated when people refuse to cooperate with their predictions,
Critics of this growth pattern have often suggested that people would move downtown if they could. And perhaps some might do so, if more spacious and affordable housing were available, and if the schools were better or the streets safer. But that’s not the reality. So for the most part, surveys, such as one in 2019 by political scientist Jessica Trounstine, have found that the preference for lower-density, safe areas with good schools is “ubiquitous.”

Jeffrey Carter, one of the smartest guys around…
I suggest you watch the recent podcast with a16z venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz. They talk about corporate tech vs little tech. They also talk about why they are supporting Trump.
If you are employed you should be supporting Trump too. Their podcast shows you why.
In the podcast, Andreessen talks about his philosophical disagreement with Peter Thiel about “Zero to One” and corporations. I see both of their points. However, one of the things that dawned on me when I earned my MBA from Chicago Booth was this, corporations always try to become monopolies. It’s not because they are greedy, it’s because they want market power and the ability to fend off competition.
Life is a lot easier as a monopoly or in Theil’s terms, “One” than it is to compete.
Democrats have been against corporations for years but for the wrong reasons. They curried favor with the unions and saw the unions as competitive with corporations. They created a false fixed-pie mentality that had to be divided between corporate management and its stakeholders versus the workers. Truth is, the better the corporation does the better it is for the worker and if it can be monopolistic, labor can do better!

Now that is good news. I for one remain optimistic that this great country can be saved with alternate media I.E. interwebs. The Lamestream Media is losing control and they certainly have been exposed in the Biden Dumpster Fire Coverup.

It’s Saturday and we may get more rain. We’ve been blessed with almost 4″ (I know, nothing by Houston standards) of rain since Monday. Spotty thunder boomers that come and go with bright sunshine in between. This morning I’m finishing up my fig preserves, not but a few figs left on the trees. But first I’m off the the REA annual meeting to pick up my freebies, hoping for another rain gauge.

The big Republican donor you probably never heard of…
Since the beginning of 2023, no one has given more to political causes than Timothy Mellon. Through the first five months of 2024, Mr. Mellon gave more than $115 million to various Republican candidates for federal office and conservative causes.
Brendan Glavin, deputy research director at money-in-politics watchdog OpenSecrets, told The Epoch Times what makes Mr. Mellon’s millions so odd is the apparent lack of desire for attention attached to the gifts.
plus,
The recipients of his money and his associates often decline to speak about the 81-year-old investor, who apparently lives close to Saratoga, Wyoming. He’s hard to reach. Even biographers writing about his influential family can’t get a word from him.

I’m ashamed to admit I tend to be a fair weather Astro fan, pretty much only pay attention starting playoff time, but i see they have clawed their way to the top of their division after a horrible start of the season.

Remember the OMC Sea Drive? I always thought it was an ingenious answer to a nonexistent problem. Put a little Jeff Cooper in there. 😉
In 1980, OMC decided to mount a serious onslaught on the inboard and sterndrive sector by offering an externally-mounted outboard-based system for larger boats. Simply put, it was a V4 or V6 outboard affixed to a special mounting plate. In this way, the entire power unit was outside the boat, with no transom well to compromise aft freeboard, and no power unit stealing cockpit space. A huge advantage – compared with sterndrives or inboards – was that the unit could tilt entirely clear of the water and would not be susceptible to corrosion, electrolysis or marine growth.
The Sea Drive system was basically a standard outboard plus an extra 400+ parts incorporated in the transom mount system. While an indication of OMC’s engineering ingenuity at the time, it was an unfortunate example of dead-end engineering that was doomed from the outset. Within two years, many bluewater boat builders were installing purpose-built outboard brackets from companies like Armstrong and Gil, making mounting conventional outboards on big boats a breeze. Then, when builders began to integrate pods onto boat transoms, the Sea Drive went the way of the 8-track tape.
Emphasis mine.

Actually, the most interesting thing in today’s C&C is that he revealed the following about himself:
But first, let’s get up to speed on yesterday’s developments. As it happens, this time, I am a software expert. I put myself through college writing custom software, a lucrative pastime I started when I was twelve, greatly annoying my parents, who wished I would get outside more and quit asking for nerdy computer gear. It is true that, now I’m a lawyer, it’s been a while since I coded anything, but I still know my way around the premises.

And by the way, today’s C&C is required reading…regardless of what you think of the column.

Oldest son just brought my generator back, he had borrowed it since they were without power for five days, i think. Anyway, no telling when i will be using it again so needed to get the fuel ran out of it before storing. As a courtesy he filled it up before returning, along with the gas can i lent to him. I had already filled all my cans for the storm, so where to put seven gallons of petrol? Anywhere, anyplace i could find lol. Topped off the golf cart, the mower, found one straggler one gallon gas can, put the rest in my truck and am now running the generator to burn off the last bit i couldn’t get out of the tank.
Need any gas Shannon? Lol

I have been re-thinking my opposition to committing millions of left-wingers to locked down institutions next spring. I believe now they have become a danger to themselves and their families.
One in three registered Democrats believe it is “credible” that the shooting Saturday in Butler, Pa., was staged and not intended to kill Trump, according to a Morning Consult poll released Monday. The findings show that large swaths of the Democratic base have fallen prey to the phenomenon known as “BlueAnon,” a play on the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory that once gripped portions of the Republican base and served as an obsession of the mainstream media throughout the first Trump administration.
But the Morning Consult poll shows that BlueAnon adherents among the Democratic base far outnumber their QAnon counterparts on the right. The poll showed that 34 percent of Democratic voters found it either definitely or probably credible that Trump staged Saturday’s shooting, with less than half—45 percent—saying the conspiracy theory is not credible. By comparison, a widely cited 2021 poll found that only 23 percent of Republicans were QAnon believers.

Whistleblowers tell me that MOST of Trump’s security detail working the event last Saturday were not even Secret Service. DHS assigned unprepared and inexperienced personnel.

They’re all pretending again that they didn’t and don’t know it was a planned deep state hit.
just like they pretended they didn’t know the wooden dummy was a wooden dummy from day 1 and the election was stolen.

The Left believed they could replace all this population loss in blue states and cities with the bottom dwelling, uneducated, unskilled and desperate illegal aliens. This monumentally insane idea has turned into the largest demographic blunder in history.
Losses of industries and companies are devastating enough, but the biggest crisis facing blue states and regions is demographic. In the past decade, five Southern states—Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina, along with Arizona in the West—exceeded growth in all of the other (44) states and the District of Columbia, notes demographer Wendell Cox. This pattern has accelerated since 2020, with Southern states gaining 1.7 million people, while the other three Census regions (the Northeast, Midwest, and West) all had net domestic migration losses. In 2023, Southern states accounted for 87 percent of all U.S. population growth.
In contrast, New York, New Jersey, and California are all losing net migrants, often to these same states. Since 2020, the Census Bureau estimates, New York has lost 884,000 residents to other states. As a percentage of its 2022 population, New York’s net domestic migration loss of 1.1 percent last year was larger than any state’s, exceeded only by California’s net outflow. Between 2022 and 2023, New Jersey lost 0.5 percent of its population, eighth among the states in net migration loss.
One clear trend has been the migration of wealthy individuals, the very people who fund the expansive blue welfare state. This was a slow pattern but gained momentum after 2019. Last year, affluent migrants took almost $24 billion out of California, $14 billion out of New York, and almost $10 billion out of Illinois. Those funds ended up primarily in Florida and Texas, as well as Tennessee and the Carolinas.

Just when you thought you couldn’t be more disgusted with public school officials. Sending your children to public schools is child abuse.
They were six. years. old.
PLF said when M.C. showed her mother the drawing, the mother worried her daughter had been singled out because she was black, and got in touch with school officials.
The school principal, Jesus Becerra, required a confused B.B. to apologize to M.C., said she couldn’t enjoy recess for two weeks, and forbade her from drawing at school. The friend did not understand why the apology was given, the law firm said.
The school did not explain to B.B. what she had done wrong, nor did it inform her parents of what happened. The parents only learned what had transpired a year later after another parent told them, PLF said.
As a result of the events at school, “B.B. suffered severe emotional distress, humiliation, and ostracization,” the legal complaint said.

These people are vile and disgusting. The pompous Euros love to wag their fingers and look down their noses at Americans. We save their collective asses twice in the 20th century, win the Cold War with the fall of the Iron Curtain and then they expect us to pay all the NATO bills. The entire EU acts like The Squad in our House of Representatives.
On Wednesday, the Patriots for Europe Group in the European Parliament initiated a plenary debate and a resolution condemning political violence, including the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump, the current presidential candidate, but the majority of MEPs voted against it, Kinga Gál, the group’s first vice-president, said in Strasbourg.
At her press conference, Kinga Gál criticized the EU parliament for doing virtually nothing to combat the political violence that has already been rife in Europe. She cited as examples the attack on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and the case of Antifa activist Ilaria Salis, who was arrested in Budapest and “despite almost killing an innocent man, is now sitting in the EU parliament benches, and despite all the procedures, is lecturing us on how to behave.”

Bones @ 6:29pm
Thanks.
I never knew the origin of linen.
I have learned to love linen shirts for summer. But they are generally out of my price range.
I have a couple linen shirts that are surely ten years old and still quite wearable.
I “outgrew” my favorite sport coat of all time. It, too, was a beautiful linen.
Next time I lose fifty pounds, Imma gonna buy me a natural off-white linen suit.If I gotta live on this wholy miserable SE Texas climate, I really should have a linen suit.
-
Watching the part where they bundled flax prior to spinning gives meaning to the phrase ‘flaxen hair.’
-
When I was a boy, I thought I would grow up and be a small town lawyer with a beautiful wife, live in a big Victorian house with five wonderful children and wear long white linen suits with a white cotton shirt and black string tie exactly like Mark Twain. I wouldn’t be as clever, but I’d be close.
-
In my twenties, I owned several pieces of linen clothing, but the maintenance was a pain and they always look wrinkled in the SE Texas humidity.

I watched a movie last night. I’m calling it Very Highly Recommended.
I’m sure that I saw it before, but it’s probably been almost fifty years.It stars Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, and Harry Dean Stanton. Not to mention Randy Quaid. John Williams, perhaps the greatest film composer of all time, scored the soundtrack. Beautiful country, beautifully filmed.
Shoot, Nicholson’s buckskin horse is a sight to behold.Oh. The film is The Missouri Breaks (1976).
A bit weird? A big dark?
Well hell yeah, Brando’s in it. 🙂 -

CFP linked to this story at Campus Reform.
The professor seemed to imply that Trump would use the attempt on his life to establish a dictatorship as Adolf Hitler did in Germany following the 1933 Reichstag Fire.
Caraballo has found himself in controversies in the past after he opposed Harvard’s efforts to combat anti-Semitism and encouraged followers to publicly harass the Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.

As Democratic powerbrokers attempt to pressure President Joe Biden into bowing out of reelection, his departure could set up a messy selection process for his replacement that circumvents the primary electorate and threatens to send the party back to the days of Tammany Hall.
and,
For much of the 19th and 20th centuries, Democratic Party politics were dominated by Tammany Hall, a New York City-based executive committee that maintained political control through mafia-like tactics and behind-the-scenes power-broking.
plus,
“The spirit of Tammany Hall has returned to the Democratic Party as Boss Pelosi, Boss Obama, Boss Schumer and Boss Jeffries seek to repudiate over 14 million Democrats and replace the sitting President,” he [Gingrich] continued. “There is no precedent for Washington bosses throwing out the votes of the American people to impose their will on the nation.”

Shaun Porter is a loudmouth, vulgar, professional protester/conspiracy theorist from Maryland. I can tell you there is no official preliminary report from the FBI, Secret Service or Homeland Security at this moment. Porter is just making it up. If there was, I wouldn’t trust it as birdcage liner. These agencies are scrambling around, blaming each other and desperately trying to concoct a weasel way out of the bind they’ve put themselves in.
-
The series of events, excluding that which was in the video, still leads to nothing but a colossal screw up at best or an inside job. Neither is acceptable and there must be punishment for the guilty parties. Who is going to be the patsy, how many individuals at the top levels are involved?

These people are so déclassé and seemingly have no clue how awful and hypocritical they are.
President Joe Biden may have endorsed his VP to replace him in November, but the nation’s highest-ranking elected Democrats have not come out behind her yet.
Biden sent shockwaves through Washington when he announced he would not be running for reelection in November. He quickly threw his weight behind Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place.
‘America is a better place today because President Joe Biden has led us with intellect, grace and dignity. We are forever grateful,’ House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement that made no mention of Harris.

These people must be stopped. This is insane. Sodium Hydroxide is lye.
As part of a new strategy to fight climate change, scientists are proposing dropping toxic sodium hydroxide into the ocean just 10 miles southwest of Martha’s Vineyard as soon as September of this year, angering both locals and environmental groups.
Researchers at the Massachusetts-based Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) are awaiting approval from the EPA to release a 6,600-gallon mixture of sodium hydroxide solution and freshwater into the Atlantic, in hopes that this will boost the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide emissions.
The ocean is crucially important in offsetting greenhouse gases, with experts saying it absorbs 25 percent of all carbon dioxide on Earth.
They aren’t happy enough killing whales and fish with their offshore windmill installations. Now they are going to poison them directly.
Does anyone else think this sounds like a very bad idea? Releasing 6,000 gallons of sodium hydroxide solution (lye) 10 miles SW of Martha’s Vineyard?’ Paul Bleicher posted in a local Facebook group referencing a Boston Globe piece that covered the geoengineering plan.
‘The article makes it clear that they expect impact on the living marine environment. It will take days for the pH to return to even a normal range,’ he added.
There are others out there who believe this is a bad idea, and chief among them is Benjamin Day, the Massachusetts-based senior campaigner for Friends of the Earth.

I think it is no longer just speculation; these people are actively trying to destroy not just our political and economic system but environmentally as well, see East Palestine and the Animus River for example.

Thanks to the boss for fixing my commenting ability that had vanished in the deep recesses of the mess we all suffered by everything going blitz to the ends of our galaxy a few days ago.
Now we know what enemies of the US have observed and what is useful to use against us. Thanks, Joe. And minions of others who saw it as being a good idea.
So now the President has resigned for the rest of this term ? but apparently has not yet said he will or won’t run again. And the VP says she will take his place for now and will also run for election for the Presidency in November.
Not a mention of the Constitutional Amendment saying that a President is limited to serving two full terms only, they don’t need to be consecutive terms. Partial terms don’t count
At the tail end somebody also mumbles that Donald Trump is also running on the GOP side. His two terms will not be consecutive.

The Federal Election Commission head texted to Fox that if there is no candidate, meaning the Biden/Harris ticket, the $240 million has to be returned to the donors. Since Biden said he was “standing down” from the campaign and never mentioned the word “resign” the status of the funds gets very murky. It can’t simply be transferred to Kamala since her campaign would be a different legal entity from Biden/Harris. The FEC dude seemed a little vague on the details because they’ve never been faced with this particular dilemma before.
-
the $240 million has to be returned to the donors.
I’ll take it. I’ma donor. A _______ donor but still yanno i am a donor.

The US Senate And House of Representatives have zero police powers. They can exert as much legal force against members of the executive branch as Dr. Phil Good can. It’s the constitutional separation of powers. They can hold hearings, conduct investigations and pressure inspector generals of agencies to issue reports. But the only active thing they can do is issue their reports and expose the corruption and criminality to the voting public.
If they don’t have a cooperative AG and Dept of Justice, there is not a damned thing a senator or representative can do except to slow down legislation or delay funding for agencies. It’s the way it is…via the Constitution.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Jill Biden has formally dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, she announced today at a press conference that was supposed to be for her husband.
“I cannot in good conscience continue,” the acting president said as her husband wandered around somewhere backstage.
Journalists expressed shock and disappointment to learn that not only has Joe Biden been a decrepit old man for the last three years — he hasn’t even been president.
“Well, this is news to me!” said CNN’s Jake Tapper. “I could’ve sworn she was the first lady, and that Biden was a normal person just two weeks ago.”

I just realized that Mr. Childers issued a bonus Sunday post, not part of his paid subscriber only offerings:
Good morning, C&C supporters, it’s Sunday! Which means it’s time for your subscriber bonus of essential news and commentary. This morning’s bonus post includes: More Ukraine coordination as Boris Johnson comes out for Trump; more details on the second Trump-Zelensky call; FBI and Secret Service caught lying, and clam up; trio of high-profile New York Times op-eds suggest a sea change in liberal politics may be surging in; WaPo hit piece on J.D. Vance accidentally burnishes his conservative bona fides; Biden covid update; Clintons ally with Biden against Team Obama; and dems hope against hope for Judge Cannon’s removal.

Mr. C. reports that former British PM Boris Johnson is counting on Trump to resolve the Ukraine/Russia problem.
…The UK’s former Prime Minister was clearly arguing that Trump, not Biden, is the way forward. It stood in stark contrast to NATO hand-wringing about a potential Trump victory; could it be a sign of moderation?
One wonders who else might have attended the Milwaukee convention, and how much work President Trump accomplished behind the scenes, all while Joe Biden slept off his Paxlovid treatment.

And then the cover-up by the media of the Secret Service debacle:
The headline should have been something more like, “Secret Service LIED About Denying Trump More Protection.” Instead, the crack journalists at Reuters deployed the gentle euphemism, “this is a reversal from earlier statements by the agency.”
A reversal? A ‘reversal’ is when, under withering emotional manipulation, you give in and let the kids get toppings on their ice cream. It’s not a ‘reversal’ when you find seven crumpled candy wrappers under your teenager’s bed right after they loudly protested having no idea who cleaned out the pantry.
In technical terms, psychologists call that getting caught lying.

But yesterday, under pressure, Secret Service Spokesman Guglielmi admitted that the “baseless” claims were not, after all, quite so baseless, nor were they exactly “irresponsible.” As it happens, President Trump has requested more security the entire time he’s been out of office:
Curiouser and curiouser.

More on – but not from – the FBI:
The FBI’s silence is deafening. The nation’s top law enforcement agency, tasked with getting to the bottom of what happened (or didn’t happen) in Butler County, has not updated its investigation website for the Trump Assassination Attempt since last Sunday. No updates. Zero, zip, nada. In fact, there are only three updates total on that web page — about the most important investigation in the FBI’s modern history.
While the FBI has remained mum, the understaffed Buler county LEOs have spoken with the press.
But then, they aren’t part of the Deep State.
I’m only a lawyer, not a public relations expert, but it seems to me that the FBI and the Secret Service should hold daily joint press briefings to provide ongoing public updates about the investigation. This isn’t like they are investigating a Mexican opioid ring or a wayward Chinese spy balloon. This time, they can’t hide behind the old “ongoing investigation” excuse for long.
If you were trying to paint a picture of agencies locking down and covering up, the FBI and the Secret Service couldn’t possibly being doing a better job of that.

And then the discussion of the media finally having to come to terms with
realitythe truth:…In any case, at long last, Mr. Kristof has obviously started thinking. Without explicitly saying so —he’s not suicidal— Kristof admitted the Democrats’ policies of pushing trans mutilations and opening the borders have backfired: [insert text from article]
This journalist is hoping for a Whitmer/Cory Booker ticket.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
After evaluating other journalistic attempts to deal with the facts now in evidence, Mr. C. ends with this prose:
Confronted with the left’s ready willingness to believe moronic conspiracy theories, Masha (correctly) diagnosed the problem not as Trump Derangement Syndrome or low information so much as low trust in government and media, correctly explaining that “conspiracy theories flourish — not, as it is often mistakenly thought, in a low-information environment, but in a low-trust environment.”
The gaslighting isn’t working anymore. They are starting to tell the truth. We are breaking through.

And finally, Mr. C. opines on the left’s teeth gnashing about Judge Cannon:
Their hope is that the 11th Circuit, which has reversed Judge Cannon twice in the case (on the same issue), will take the wild and unprecedented step of straight-up removing Judge Cannon from the case, maybe for bias, or bad judging, or something. The chances of that happening are about as solid as the chances that Joe Biden can utter a sentence without using the word “anyway.”
And it would be political TNT. So the prospect of the 11th Circuit removing Judge Cannon is more like hopium than anything you could call legal analysis.
But the WaPo’s experts’ fears were more tangible. “If he gets back to the White House,” the WaPo’s expert fretted, “Trump could pressure his Justice Department to close the case. He could also promote Cannon to the very appeals court that will soon examine her decision to toss the case.” Those things are much more likely to happen than their hopes.
It got worse. Unhinged democrats on social media perceived an even more terrifying, if not apocalyptic, possibility: Trump might appoint Judge Cannon to the Supreme Court!
That might be the most unlikely possibility of all, but if they can hope, then we can hope. Judge Cannon for Supreme Court!
I was telling Hubby that should we take the WH and both chambers, I’d love to see some of the elder Justices step down while we can easily replace with sane, reasonable folks; aka, NOT a hire based on pigment, plumbing, or social justice background.

I’m seeing clips of Trumpian baseball players using the fist during their games.
So much better than the raised hands thing the NFL did.
