Some good news at last from Kamala Harris – she spoke at the West Point commencement Saturday. This marked a trifecta of “firsts” in a first-hungry administration which seems more bent on notching up firsts to, well, doing things to help the country. First woman, first partially black, first partially South Asian.\u00a0 Harris was joined at the commencement by Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth, who in 2021 became the first woman to hold the military service\u2019s top civilian post.<\/p>\n

\n

While Harris visited West Point, about 60 miles (96 kilometers) north of Manhattan, President Joe Biden heads to Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Thursday to address graduates at the U.S. Air Force Academy.<\/p>\n

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III addressed the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, on Friday.\u00a0\u00a0 NBC News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The good part? She does not seem to have screwed it up or degenerated into word salad as has so often been her wont.<\/p>\n

*************************<\/p>\n

Moving on, we go all the way to India, whose pols act a lot like ours:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In India a government official has been suspended after ordering a reservoir drained so he could find the phone he dropped while taking a selfie.<\/p>\n

Food inspector Rajesh Vishwas, who dropped his phone in Kherkatta dam while taking a selfie, asked divers to find the device. \u00a0Telegraph<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seems to be a paywall on Telegraph articles now, but it seems that\u00a0 Mr. Vishwas told divers his phone had confidential government information on it. When divers failed to find the phone, he ordered two MILLION liters of water, enough to irrigate 1500 farms, drained. (The phone was recovered, and found to be waterlogged and irreparable.) \u00a0 I’d wonder\u00a0 at his mindset, but after following American politicians – SSDD, right?<\/p>\n

************************<\/p>\n

And finally, a pissing contest was started by Trump campaign chief spokesperson Liz Harrington, who said:<\/p>\n

“Ron ‘Dee-Santis’ has run for 4 different offices in the past 7 years. That’s not someone who’s in it for the country, it’s someone who’s in it for himself,” Harrington said in a tweet<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The DeSantis campaign responded with these shots of DeSantis (the second one is from when he was deployed to Iraq in 2007.)<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Doubling down on the stoopid, Harrington fired back her crushing response – a picture of Pete Buttigieg deployed.\u00a0\u00a0 Yahoo<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lord knows I am no fan of Mayor Pete, and not all that wild about DeSantis much of the time: but for the record, THEY SERVED. Which is more than EITHER of our current five-deferment front runners of either party did. Think the nearest vet needs to bitch-slap that phone\u00a0 out of her hands, and keep it away from her until she learns some respect.<\/p>\n
