The $3.8 trillion that Democrats in Congress authorized for pandemic relief ($2 trillion was passed during the Trump administration) contained $800 billion for state and local governments.
Admittedly, the states had some flexibility in how they spent their cut. Some states used the money to shore up their employee pension programs. While not specifically authorized in the enabling legislation, given the broad authority granted to states to spend the money, no one is likely to challenge it.
How about a governor spending $4.3 million to cover parking costs for state employees "and visitors"? Or $1 million on a feasibility study for paid family leave?

YouTube’s former chief executive and long-time Google executive Susan Wojcicki died on Saturday at the age of 56 after a two-year battle with lung cancer.
“It is with profound sadness that I share the news of Susan Wojcicki passing. My beloved wife of 26 years and mother to our five children left us today after 2 years of living with non-small cell lung cancer,” Dennis Troper, Wojcicki’s husband, said in a Facebook post.
“Over the last two years, even as she dealt with great personal difficulties, Susan devoted herself to making the world better through her philanthropy, including supporting research for the disease that ultimately took her life,”

On Thursday, Donald Trump held a formal press conference and took questions from the gathered journalists, facing challenging questions and confronting issues. Imagine this: a candidate making themself available to the media and addressing policy. How novel and unexpected. (Kamala Harris has now gone 20 days since she became the announced Democrat candidate without doing so.)
In practiced fashion, the New York Times decided it would provide a team of fact-checkers to tear into Trump’s many claims. What is notable about this exercise is how we have never seen such an application of diligent journalism

Have you been wondering how Kamala Harris went from unpopular in the polls — maybe even more unpopular than Joe Biden — to now supposedly making Democrats all excited? Democrats and their acolytes in the media are trying to recast Kalama and now her VP choice. They don't want to talk about the fact that she's done nothing for the past three-plus years but push bad policies and cover up Biden's cognitive decline.
Megyn Kelly spoke with Andrew Klavan about the effort to repackage Harris — first, by not letting her answer questions or do interviews that might expose her problems. JD Vance mocked that

The Institute for the Study of War has laid out an analysis of the state of play — if one can use such a phrase for such a disturbing subject — in the Middle East, where Israel faces a possible onslaught by Iran and all of its proxies in the region. Some claim it is already set to be unleashed on the Jewish day of mourning, Tisha b’Av, that falls this year beginning on the night of August 12 and lasts until the next day, August 13. Or it could come as soon as Monday. These proxies include what remains of Hamas as a fighting force in Gaza,

"We may be entering an era that is more feudal in its economic and social structure."
—Joel Kotkin, "The Coming of Neo-Feudalism"
Germany’s leading car parts supplier ZF has recently been forced to cut one-fifth to one-quarter of its workforce, owing in part to Chinese competition and in part to “weak demand for electric vehicles.” Other firms like Bosch, Continental, and Webasto have also been forced to “restructure.” Yet the CEOs of these companies continue absurdly to believe in the future of “electromobility,” since the European Union plans to outlaw fossil fuel-powered vehicles as of 2035. The short-sightedness of EU bureaucrats will lead inevitably to market implosion and an economic collapse,

"What is Project 2025, anyway?" the well-meaning voter asked the big-name mainstream media journalist.
"That's the beauty of Project 2025," the big-name journalist said in a rare moment of candor. "It can be anything we need it to be. Really, it's just a wish list of policy proposals from the Heritage Foundation, the kind of thing Heritage and every other think tank puts out every four years. But nobody ever reads them so it's really easy for us big-name media people to make them out to be whatever we need them to be."
The well-meaning voter looked perplexed. "I don't get it."
"Project 2025 is a conservative platform and my network — hell,

In recent years, signs that Satan’s minions rule the temporal world have proven impossible to ignore.
After all, if the prince of darkness had decided to troll us all for his own diabolical amusement, then surely he would have done exactly what the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris has done.
On July 19, amid global calamities on a scale unseen since World War II, the Biden-Harris administration announced a plan to eliminate the deadly scourge of plastic silverware. “Communities across the United States and around the world are facing a plastic pollution crisis,” a White House statement began.
It only got worse from there.

The New Yorker set out to write a total, ruinous take-down of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday to force the nephew of Camelot to bow down to commie Kamalot. RFK Jr. took the story, utterly destroyed and exquisitely mocked it, and hilariously commanded his own story—a scoop— that the magazine had hoped would horrify voters but instead made me laugh harder than I have in years.
RFK Jr. put his own story out on X, taunting The New Yorker, "Looking forward to seeing how you spin this, @NewYorker."
Kennedy obviously got a head's up the story was coming and decided he'd get in front of it, scooping the magazine.

For a mind-boggling ninth time, 24-year-old Swede Mondo Duplantis has broken his own pole vault world record.
At the end of Monday evening's track and field session at Stade de France, Duplantis cleared a new world-record height of 6.25 meters, topping the mark of 6.24m he set in April. That record-breaking leap served as the dessert, coming nearly a half hour after winning his second consecutive Olympic gold medal. "The biggest dream since I was a kid was to break the world record at the Olympics," Duplantis said. "I’ve been able to do it in front of the most ridiculous crowd I’ve ever competed in front of."

At Least 32 people were killed and 60 others were wounded late Friday when a suicide bomber detonated explosives outside a hotel in Mogadishu, Somalia, setting off a four-hour siege by gunmen, The New York Times reported.
The radical Islamist militant group Al Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack, which started in the Lido Beach area, according to The New York Times. The terrorist organization has been locked in an insurgency against Somalia’s government for almost two decades, according to the outlet.
“We heard a loud explosion followed by gunfire,” Mohamed Jibril, a witness who was reportedly out with friends in the vicinity during the attack, told the outlet.

The liberal media wants to make Donald Trump’s comments about Kamala Harris’ race a significant point as we enter the final months of the 2024 election. It’s a tacit acknowledgment that the Democratic Party is underwater with groups that usually vote overwhelmingly for them in elections. They need something to jolt the base—and this subject matter could do it. That’s why I’m admittedly nervous: personal attacks on Kamala do nothing but energize liberals. Trump said that Kamala carried herself as Indian before becoming black after her national profile increased at last
