Soon, he'll be taught how to fling poo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Punch the Lonely Baby Monkey Has a New BFF, and It's a Beautiful Thing [...] It was a heartbreaking story for those of us who love animals, and maybe even for those who don't. You see, Punch, the seven-month-old baby macaque who lives at the Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan, became a viral sensation when he was abandoned by his mother and bullied by others in the troop. Having no friends, he was left to find comfort in his stuffed animal, which he dragged around everywhere and refused to let go of.

Look at these videos! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Top Cartel Leader Killed, Total Chaos Erupts in Mexico UPDATE, 3:43 PM EST: The Mexican Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) made its first statement on the operation, suggesting it was done in coordination with the United States. It also says that "elements of the National Guard and troops from the Army in central Mexico and states adjacent to Jalisco are concentrating to reinforce the security" of the region. Original article Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, aka "El Mencho," is dead. One of the founders and current leader of the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), he was one of the most wanted and dangerous fugitives in Mexico, and some say the entire world. This weekend, the Mexican government confirmed that its military killed him in an operation in the mountains of the town of Tapalpa, in the state of Jalisco, where he had operated freely for decades, protected by his own ranks. It's widely seen as a major victory in the Donald Trump-led war against drug trafficking in the Western Hemisphere. Or, at least, a good start. And it's potentially a sign that Mexico's narco-president is cooperating more — or, at least, trying to get Trump off her back a little bit.

Surprising that no one has posted about the tariff ruling yet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bessent Signals No Retreat After SCOTUS Tariff Ruling After the Supreme Court handed down a six-to-three decision limiting how President Donald Trump used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose so-called Liberation Day tariffs, his critics pounced, declaring the strategy dead. Do they know President Trump? Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent went on the air and made clear the administration isn't backing down. One tool was whittled down, but the policy is still kicking. The Supreme Court ruled that the administration stretched IEEPA beyond its intended scope. While the statute allows emergency economic measures, the majority found that the tariff action did not fit the framework Congress had designed. The decision appeared to force surrender, but all it did was cause a pivot. Bessent told Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo that tariff revenue wouldn't stop, framing the ruling as procedural rather than authoritative. He said that the administration still has multiple statutory authorities to address trade imbalances and national security threats. The objective, he said, hasn't changed: reduce trade deficits, protect domestic industry, and pressure the foreign governments that have been gaming the system.

This is a satisfying story after Bidementia et al. bungled the incident. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump lives up to his promise to East Palestine EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, found out on Thursday that President Donald Trump is giving the village $10 million for a Norfolk Southern train derailment that upended the town's way of life three years ago. It was welcome news on an unseasonably warm and sunny February day. Trump announced that his administration would provide the funds through the Economic Development Administration. The president said that it was part of an effort to continue aid and recovery to an area devastated by the Feb. 3, 2023, train derailment and subsequent controlled burn in which five tankers released 116,000 gallons of toxic vinyl chloride into the soil and water. Thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area along the Ohio-Pennsylvania state line. [...] https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/4465527/trump-lives-up-to-his-promise-to-east-palestine/
