CALIFORNICATION: Marcus Lemonis, chairman of Bed Bath & Beyond, says the company will not be operating in the No-Longer-Golden State. “This decision isn’t about politics—it’s about reality. California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America. It’s a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers.”

OHIO: [2:55] – Ninety-two school districts now have armed school staff.
PARTY OF PERVERSION: ‘Outnumbered’ discusses a Senate report finding 11,500 migrant children placed with unvetted adults. One address had 42 kids.
The Biden administration established a hotline intended for unaccompanied migrant children to get help if their host families or sponsors turned out to be creeps. But it was apparently all for show. Nobody actually did anything, despite the approximately 65,000 calls for help that the hotline received between August 2023 and January 2025. Once the Trump administration took office, efforts were made to review all of the calls. In at least one case, the sponsor was arrested.

PEACE PRESIDENT: During his first six months in office, President Trump has brokered peace in Armenia-Azerbaijan, Cambodia-Thailand, the DRC-Rwanda, Ethiopia-Egypt, and India-Pakistan.
TEXAS: As soon as the Democrat babies came back to work, the Texas House passed a newly drawn congressional map 88-52. The likely outcome of the change is for Republicans to win five extra seats in the U.S. House. It may also save us from having to listen to Jasmine Crockett, whose home is now in a district already represented by a Democrat and the majority of whose former district is now majority Republican.

GRAMMY NOTES: Buzz (who isn’t “Lil” any more!) built a color mixing conductivity device from a kit and will be doing experiments with it to understand how mixing colors with light is different from mixing colors with pigments. The right hand photo shows the device with red, green, and blue all on at the same time. With pigments, that would make a muddy brown; with lights, it makes white.
