Sunday Serendipity

Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht (Be still, stop chattering), by Johann Sebastian Bach

From Wikipedia:

 also known as the Coffee Cantata, is a secular cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it probably between 1732 and 1735. Although classified as a cantata, it is essentially a miniature comic opera. In a satirical commentary, the cantata amusingly tells of an addiction to coffee.

An amusing tale of a father, a daughter and her coffee. A perfect selection for fathers day. Also, when it comes to fathers and daughters the more things change the more they stay the same.

Enjoy Jack

    Jimmy Kimmel breaks down Trump’s White House UFC disaster after the spectacle was hit by storms, delays, angry fans chanting at Dana White, and serious safety concerns over bright event lights near Reagan National Airport. What Trump wanted to look like strength instead turned into another chaotic vanity stunt before the bell even rang. Based on your source material.
    This video looks at how Trump turned the White House into a corporate fight-night backdrop, only for bad weather, fan backlash, aviation concerns, and MAGA cracks to expose the whole event as a humiliating mess.

    The questions over the judgment and temperament of the world’s most powerful man, and the potential risks to the global order, will only grow louder in the coming years, according to Larry Jacobs, the director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota.
    “The recklessness of decisions, the failure to think in a logical evidence-based way, the acting on impulse, the losing track of reality versus the talking points – all these things are being accelerated by Trump’s age. Most presidents’ skill set begins to fade as they age; Trump has got such a limited toolkit that it’s putting him over the edge.”
    Jacobs warned: “America and the world are in for a frightening two years. Trump has too much power for someone with so little connection to reality. Age is making Trump an even more dangerous president.”

  3. repeated from above for emphasis: “America and the world are in for a frightening two years. Trump has too much power for someone with so little connection to reality. Age is making Trump an even more dangerous president.” The solution below:

    Article II , Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to our Constitution states:The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
    Don’t you think it’s time??

  4. Vance is actively distancing himself, repeatedly leaking his early opposition to the Iran war, and now spinning the New York Times to report how he urged full transparency on the Epstein files. Still a long trip to triggering the 25th Amendment, but…

  5. The 25th Amendment triggers should include this…

    “Narcissistic collapse” is a descriptive term used in psychology to characterize a profound state of emotional and functional disintegration in individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) or significant narcissistic pathology. While “narcissistic collapse” is not a formal diagnostic category in the DSM-5-TR, it is widely recognized by clinicians as a period of acute crisis that occurs when an individual’s internal and external structures for maintaining self-esteem fail.

    What’s with the giant shower curtain at the Kennedy Center?

  7. Kennedy Center shower curtain…

    At the Kennedy Center, a Name Change Shrouded in Uncertainty
    President Trump’s name was removed from the arts institution’s facade overnight on Saturday. Many questions remain, including whether or not it stays off.

    By Elizabeth Williamson and Julia Jacobs
    June 13, 2026

    At high noon on Saturday at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, one vigil gave way to another, as patrons and visitors pivoted from concerns over the center’s name to the fate of an institution mired in legal uncertainty.

    About 150 people had gathered in front of the building under a blazing sun, having heard that the center had until noon to certify that President Trump’s name had indeed been removed from the facade, as a federal court had ordered.

    The center filed the certification with the court before the deadline, but visitors looking to confirm the results with their own eyes were out of luck: The marble front remained shrouded in white- and blue-striped tarps, with no clear answer on when they would be removed.

    “I was hoping for a reveal, honestly,” said Katy Bigge, a student at Rutgers University who was visiting Washington with her parents. Her father, Philip Bigge, was squatting on the ground, peering through a crack between the tarp and the building’s front to try to make certain that Mr. Trump’s name was gone. He could not be sure, but he thought he had detected that the letters were missing.
    […]

    Judge Cooper should have a hearing on a sua sponte contempt motion and call all involved with this charade in and fine their asses. Craig, how many storms did you get Thursday and Friday?

  8. It is essential to him that he win and triumph over every obstacle. Therefore the name has to be put back onto the bldg.
    He has an estimated 2 years to make it happen.
    If he finds that he can’t make it happen he will destroy the bldg.

    IS PARIS BURNING?!?

  9. Stur, assuming you’re right (and I think you probably are) he’s laid the foundation to have it removed when a Dem hits the WH.

  10. id put the odds of a palace 25th at a million to one, it’s extremely procedural and not a definitive deposal

    he’d have to be at wandering-around-naked level

  11. Pog…..i may be right.
    It has happened on occasion.
    But check it out….the whole name on bldg thing…..its rather like a cartoon, innit?

    Anyway, he’s got time now to see how badly he can fuck up the KC and has the power to really really fuck it all totally, unbelievably, unrecognizably up.
    Isn’t Laura Ingraham in the mix somewhe?
    Ew.
    And Pirroo lurking about

    Yayyy weird country.

    We’re all just in the bleachers, and nobody gives a damn about the cheap seats.

  13. he drags his feet on the tarp, tariff paybacks, and other court orders; but charges full speed ahead with work on the ballroom. from WSJ
    Trump tries to outrun courts by building ballroom fast
    WASHINGTON—President Trump is blitzing through construction projects in the nation’s capital faster than the courts can keep up.
    His signature White House ballroom project has run into legal problems but has continued largely unabated. A government lawyer told an appeals court earlier this month that it is too late for the courts to halt the president’s construction of the 90,000-square-foot building where the East Wing once stood.
    “It’s above ground,” Justice Department lawyer Yaakov Roth said during a hearing on whether to allow work to continue. “They’ve installed like three million pounds of steel rebar, which is a lot apparently, and it’s well on its way.”
    Construction crews and vehicles have been streaming in and out of the White House complex for months. One recent evening, patrons at a nearby rooftop bar could see two high-rise cranes still at work until sunset.
    Nearly every project the president has undertaken—from his renovation of the Kennedy Center, to the repainting of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and his plans to build a 250-foot arch near Arlington National Cemetery—is facing litigation claiming he sidestepped the public review process or that he failed to obtain congressional approval before beginning work.
    Even when litigants file cases quickly, the deliberative speed of the legal system is little match for Trump’s alacrity.
    “There’s no question that the government’s strategy has been to move so fast that no one can catch them,” said Alexander Kristofcak, counsel at Washington Litigation Group, which filed a lawsuit May 11 after Trump in mid-April started work painting the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue.
    In the case of the ballroom, a federal district judge blocked aboveground work on the project on March 31 after finding historic preservationists were likely to prevail in their argument that Congress must sign off on the project. The judge made an exception for a bunker and other national security facilities that are being built underground to keep the president safe in the event of an emergency.
    Trump quickly turned to a Washington appeals court, which allowed the work to continue while it considered the case. That gave the administration more than two months to work on the project before the court held a hearing. And the appeals panel could still be days or weeks more away from issuing a decision about whether the project can proceed.
    The interim period has given the administration a reprieve it was able to drive an army of flatbed trucks through.
    Now the same judges who gave the administration that breathing room are fretting over whether they effectively tied their own hands.
    The Trump administration told the appeals panel that only Congress can decide whether to stop construction at this point because the project is too far along and there are national security interests in getting it built. To protect the below-ground bunker, the government will need to build a structure on top of it to replace the one it razed, it said.
    “So if this were complete lawlessness by the government, it couldn’t be stopped?” pressed Judge Patricia Millett, an Obama appointee. She asked when the ballroom project had become “a fait accompli.”
    Several bills have been proposed in Congress to ensure the ballroom gets built, but none have progressed to a vote. Congress tried to add $1 billion for the ballroom to a package to fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but it was blocked by Senate budget rules.
    Andrea Katz, a professor at Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, said it is still within the power of the courts to stop the ballroom construction, even at this relatively late stage.
    “That of course would have the ridiculous effect of leaving a hole in the ground, as the government’s lawyers have said, but I don’t think it’s beyond the powers of the court to do that,” she said.
    Courts have faced similar challenges with Trump’s overhaul of the reflecting pool. The administration said the National Park Service approved plans to repair and paint the pool in late March.
    Last month, a judge held a hearing on whether to temporarily block the project. But two weeks later—before he could issue a ruling—the administration notified the court that it had finished the job.
    Within a few days, the basin was already filling with water. Even though the project is done, the plaintiffs aren’t dropping their lawsuit.
    “It’s useful to proceed and have cases on the books that say, ‘You’re not allowed to do this,’ so when the next project comes around there’s hopefully more clarity,” said Kristofcak, the lawyer leading the challenge.
    The Trump administration is also planning to crank through construction of Trump’s 250-foot triumphal arch with crews working 20 hours a day year-round to get the project done in three years or less, according to plans released last week by the National Park Service. Three veterans and an architectural historian sued in February to stop construction, but a federal judge has allowed work to continue for now.
    One recent case did require the Trump administration to backtrack. Last month a judge ruled the Kennedy Center’s board didn’t have the authority to rename the performing arts center after Trump, saying only Congress could do so.
    The judge ordered that Trump’s name be removed by Friday and rejected the administration’s plans to close the facility entirely while it undergoes renovations. He noted the speed with which Trump’s name had been affixed above John F. Kennedy’s on the front of the building, saying the signage went up the next day after the board approved the change.
    The Kennedy Center said it removed Trump’s name from the building Saturday after it was delayed by storms on Friday evening.

    Kennedy Center Mess, Flag Day, and Obama Resurgence

    The Kennedy Center musical tarp, Flag Day memories, and why the “No Kings” movement is building a network of contacts for the upcoming midterms.

    We are digging into the ongoing mystery of the tarp at the Kennedy Center and what it means for the Trump Kennedy Fund for the Arts. It seems like an unavoidable mess, but we are keeping our eyes on the prize as we track these bizarre connections of dots.

    We also celebrated Flag Day with some raw history about how our early encounters with the flag can define our lifelong views on race and politics. Plus, we are tracking the Obama resurgence and why it is a prime time to revisit the “10 letters a day” philosophy that defined his approach to connecting with everyday Americans.

  19. There is a reason you should never vote for a politician older than I am. And I’ve been saying that for several years now. Grahm Platner for all his faults, is a better choice for Maine simply because he is not 70+ years old.

  20. I think Platner is more representative of the average American than a DC elitist

    BUT

    that one claim has to be invalidated, or not

  21. Missed todays live chat, I was sleeping in late. A major storm rolled in just about bedtime, 11:30pm, complete with thunder and a weatherman busy pointing to specks on his radar screen, warning they could be the start of a tornado, scary scary scary. I’m glad Brewster didn’t listen to the weatherman, he was having a hard enough time dealing with the thunder. We did get 4 inches of rain, most of it came in a 2 hr period around midnight when the rain came down faster than the roof gutters could handle it. For all of the weatherman’s panic, It was mostly a heavy rain event. No close lightening just distant flashes and thunder. Brewster doesn’t like even distant thunder.

    There are nine original members: United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, United Kingdom, Israel, United Arab Emirates, and Australia — all of which are supposed to bring something to the table as far as securing the “silicon supply chain” goes. Later, Finland, Sweden, Qatar, and India would join.

    The Pax Silica Con
    Read on Substack

    The US’s “Pax Silica” sells itself as a wall against China, when it’s really a cage to keep America’s “partners” in – dependent on American tech, and unable to build their own.

    It is in essence eerily similar to the Roman-era “clientela” (patronage) arrangements, whereby Rome bound “client kings” in asymmetric relationships where the clients owed loyalty, alignment, and resources, and in return were admitted to the network. A self-fulfilling prize, since the network each client was buying into consisted of nothing more than the clients who had already joined.

    And, if you read their so-called “Pax Silica Declaration”, they’re spelling it out quite explicitly: countries sign up, align their supply chains with Washington, shut out China (politely referred to as those engaging in “non-market practices” and “unfair dumping”), and in exchange they get access to the imperial technological ecosystem.

    Lest there be any ambiguity, Under-Secretary of State Jacob Helberg – an ex-Palantir guy who is the architect behind the initiative – spells it out at the top of the page (see below f): whoever controls
    “compute and the minerals that feed it” will run the 21st century, and he wants to form a group of “aligned” countries around Washington in a “new economic security consensus” to make sure they’re the ones who do.

  32. While the UFC is reportedly covering the $60 million baseline production costs for the “UFC Freedom 250” spectacle, critics and ethics watchdogs have raised significant concerns. Taxpayers are still footing the bill for millions of dollars in federal staffing, National Park Service labor, and heavy Secret Service and law-enforcement security infrastructure required to run a 4,000-person public arena on the White House lawn.

  33. Group denounces Marcos’ ‘gift’ of 4k acres to US’ Pax Silica scheme

    An activist group denounced the Ferdinand Marcos Jr. government for its “total sell out” of Philippine territory to the United States under the latter’s Pax Silica initiative.

    Reacting to a claim made by US Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg that the Marcos government gave a “very unique gift” of 4,000 acres of land to the US, the Philippine chapter of the International League of Peoples’ Struggles (ILPS) said the move constitutes an “unprecedented and dangerous affront to Philippine sovereignty.”

    “[It] is a brazen expansion of US control over Philippine territory under the guise of economic cooperation and industrial development,” ILPS said.

    In a May 14 interview video, Helberg said the property will be taken into the “custody” of the US and will be treated similar to diplomatic premises.

    *Bong-Bong’s popularity is fading. Would he be emboldened by the support of US and Israel to declare martial law like dear, old dad?

    Israel is eyeing the Philippines as a key partner in the Pax Silica Initiative, particularly through the provision of key mineral resources to complement Israel’s expertise in artificial intelligence (AI), chip design and cybersecurity.

    In a Bagong Pilipinas interview over PTV on Wednesday, Israel Ambassador to the Philippines Dana Kursh said the partnership between Israel and the Philippines can be “tremendous,” noting that the Philippines’ nickel and other critical minerals fill a gap that Israel cannot address on its own.

    “You have plenty of nickel and other different important minerals. What Israel has to offer is the tech side. We are advanced when it comes to AI and cybersecurity and other technological solutions,” Kursh said.

    SpaceX itself remains quite popular. When Musk merged his AI lab with SpaceX, it allowed him to launder the negative impression people have of Grok through a company with a high approval rating. Linking Grok to SpaceX serves as a reminder that they are, in fact, one and the same now.

    Per Wired, the inflatable was the work of Safe AI Now (SAIN), which issued a press release related to the inflatable. “SpaceX shareholders are on the hook for every Grok lawsuit, criminal investigation, and regulatory fine that is coming.

    As the Republican Party of Texas Convention began last week, signs of unity appeared everywhere.

    “unity drives victory”

    However, the unity showed signs of fracturing throughout the week.

    Delegates ousted their party chair, shaking up the top of the Texas GOP months before a crucial election.
    They booed the first sitting Texas House leader to address the convention, even after he oversaw Republicans claim a wish list of socially conservative victories in the Legislature.
    Some lamented what they described as poor attendance at the convention, despite a slate of top elected officials on the schedule. Meanwhile, it became apparent that some age-old fights, like disagreements over tort reform, remain far from settled.

    In his Friday speech, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick suggested that U.S. Sen. John Cornyn was a “sore loser” after being defeated in his primary runoff by Attorney General Ken Paxton. He chastised Cornyn for making “bad comments” after the May 26 race and not backing Paxton.

    “Patrick is worried about losing in November,” Cornyn said Saturday. “He should be.”

    Delegates Amjad Muhtaseb, Samar Halabi and Tarek Hussein got into a heated exchange with Rep. Brent Money of Greenville, who founded the caucus, over religion. The party tried to remove Muhtaseb and Hussein as delegates for their ties to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights group that has been declared a terrorist organization by the governor. The convention could not remove them under party rules.
