There has been near complete silence by national media regarding Gibson's Bakery v. Oberlin College, which we have covered since the initial protests through the current ongoing trial. The case is proceeding under the national media radar no more, as Tucker Carlson covered the case tonight. I was a guest on the program to discuss the implications of the case.

Gary Gravelle of Connecticut was indicted last week for allegedly "threatening to kill, injure and intimidate people and explode property in Connecticut and elsewhere." Gravelle, "identified as a member of the white separate organization American Knights of Anarchy, or AKA," reports the New Haven Register. In his powder-filled letter to Trump, Gravelle allegedly wrote, "I, Gary Gravelle, ... as a faithful soldier of the AKA, am coming to KILLDonald Trump."

Tariffs suck. They do not work and will only cause harm for the manufacturer and consumer. President Donald Trump's economic adviser Larry Kudlow broke from his boss on Sunday when he agreed that tariffs would hurt both the US and China after Trump increased tariffs. To make matters worse, China imposed tariffs on $60 million worth of US goods on Monday.

It looks like Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has planned to expand his firm's delivery range. The entrepreneur unveiled a mockup of a lunar lander built by his Blue Origin rocket company. Bezos also announced his support for the Trump administration’s renewed push to establish a lunar outpost in just five years.
The world’s richest man and Amazon.com Inc’s chief executive waved an arm and a black drape behind him dropped to reveal the two-story-tall mockup of the unmanned lander dubbed Blue Moon during an hour-long presentation at Washington’s convention center, just several blocks from the White House.

I haven't followed closely the saga of Joe Biden's alleged family conflicts in Ukraine and China when he was Vice President, but I'm aware that claims and counterclaims have been percolating through the mainstream and non-mainstream media and in the Democrat primary field. Being in the position of just hearing about it and seeing reactions, I'm a typical news consumer. And what I'm sensing, and have sensed for some time, is that Ukraine may be to Biden's campaign what emails were to Hillary's campaign. And China could get there too.

My son and I often have dinner together and watch FNC's "The Five." This week, one discussion that caught my attention was the response to panelist Juan Williams' assertion that the Republicans do not have any response to climate change. When fellow pundit Greg Gutfeld responded, "Gen. IV Nuclear," Williams went on as if he never heard the remark.
