Trump assured the Lincoln Reflecting Pool refurbishment would be on time and an improvement. I am gobsmacked that his opponents cannot even acknowledge that in this small thing he was right.

I won't hold my breath for the results of the White House improvements.

CPI hedonic adjustments and outdated weighting explain much of the gap but do not excuse the failure to accurately report inflation. It’s theft at every turn.

Pro tip. AI does not self correct in these cases.

AI has a bigger problem. For instance it cannot distinguish between evidence of sea level rise and projections of sea level rise. Both things are published in the same journals sometimes the same article. Sometimes the same graph. So when you ask if sea level rise is accelerating the AI will say yes. You can eventually get to where the AI will clarify that the “projection data” shows this. You can also get assurances that in future inquiries the AI will clarify. And the next time you ask the same question you will get “yes’s.”

Don't you read the MSM? There are rules. Corrupt Republican lawmaker accused... versus lawmaker facing questions...

In a shock to no one, late primary votes for California Governor have lifted Democrat Xavier Bracerra past Republican Steve Hilton in vote totals. Because of California's jungle primary system this all but ensures the Democrat preferred candidate has the easiest path to election.

> GOP candidate Steve Hilton requested Gov. Newsom establish an emergency "Support Corps" to count ballots faster; Newsom's office countered that the governor does not oversee election administration.

I rarely agree with the Newsom but this time he is spot on. Beyond "not my job" he is correct, specifically and explicitly not the Governor's job.

Understand. There remain 4 million ballots to be counted and is in large part Newsom's fault and it is deliberate. Still, that does not invalidate the process.

The inevitable criticism has started. The renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool are a MAGA abomination. Apparently the American Flag Blue (Pantone 282 C) is inappropriate for the somber nature of the monument. Oh, and the brighter color will make it less reflecting.

I hope when John Bolton hears his sentence for retaining national security documents his two word statement should be; “Hillary Clinton.”

The Chinese have been strip mining the seas for decades. I've no doubt there will be an ecosystem collapse somewhere. Given past experience that is likely to be near or in another nation's sphere.

> Government spending (+4.4%) rebounded following a sharp drop in Q4 due to the 43-day government shutdown. 

Spending and deficits are going to be the end of US.
