My oldest dog is dying of cancer, which has rather put a crimp in my time and desire to blog, so posting may be a bit sparse for a few days. Enjoy an abbreviated LinkSwarm:
ICE conducts more raids in California. Evidently enforcing federal law is controversial when it conflicts with the Democratic Party’s goals of importing more illegal aliens… (Hat tip: Ace of Spades HQ.)
The popularity of incumbent Democratic senators up for reelection this year in states Trump won is under water.
China: Colossus or Paper Dragon?
“Sri Lanka Declares Nationwide Emergency After Buddhist-Muslim Clashes.”
Nice one, Brigid at Borepatch:
You’re a passenger in a light plane. Your pilot dies. Can you get the plane safely to the ground? (Hat tip: Instapundit.)
Invasion of the stinkbug swarm. (Hat tip: Ann Althouse.)
Oberlin College “got woke” and now they’re going broke, thanks to declining enrollment and a variety of Social Justice Warrior idiocies, including sexual misconduct showtrials and #BlackLivesMatter pandering. Now they’re complaining that they can’t get a fair trial in their own namesake town because everybody hates them.
Austin American-Statesman sold to GateHouse media for $47.5 million. The sale doesn’t include the land the Statesman building sits on, which is worth considerably more than the newspaper… (Hat tip: Dwight.)

Very sorry to hear about your dog.
Thanks for the alert on the article on the ‘surprise, today you’re a pilot’ story. Nice story, and that guy needs a license. He not only realized that he should take credit for his hour (plus change) of flying time, but – and this wasn’t pointed out in the article – he RECOVERED FROM A STALL using his own wit.
It is not the only time I have heard of where a non-pilot has landed an aircraft, as we discussed recently over dinner. Outside of TV dramas, it does happen from time to time, and I met someone who did that at my flying school.
As a pilot, I can safely say yes, I can land a plane if my pilot dies… unless I am the only one on the aircraft.
