Hinderaker, On Trump Plan: “I will believe it when I see it.” Exactly.

Surprisingly tonight, Hinderaker belatedly starts making some sense on at least one or two topics.

He opines that the press conference today with Bibi and Trumpie… truly, was/is a prop show — and means nothing, unless a lasting consensual peace appears in Gaza… And Gaza remains peaceful for significant amount of time… which, for now, we will label as… one year.

Hinderaker also guesses that Bibi needs… peace. This is finally — a reality John can admit to seeing (if not loving).

Bibi needs a way out — to save face — and to end the very sensible opposition to his government throughout Tel Aviv — and now inside his own power structure.

He has pushed too far and too hard and for too long… and now his entire coalition may collapse.

And he knows it.

And surprisingly for a change, John is willing to admit to that truth.

I’m hesitant to call it progress of any kind…

But maybe it is just that: progress.

Out.

Just As We Said: Ninth Circuit Has Stayed Trial Court Order Purporting To End Regulation Of Assault Weapons In California.

Not at all surprising (just as we predicted 11 days ago), but here late on Monday night/Tuesday morning comes word that the Ninth Circuit has formally halted any implementation of the Miller v. Bonta trial court ruling.

There will be no overturning the sensible California regulations around assault weapons. Here’s that very terse, and pointed order, tonight:

. . .The district court’s June 4, 2021 order and judgment are stayed pending resolution of Rupp v. Bonta, No. 19-56004.

The stay shall remain in effect until further order of this court. Briefing in this appeal is stayed.

Within 14 days of this court’s decision in Rupp v. Bonta, the parties shall file a status report and may request appropriate relief. . . .

Onward, smiling into the warm night breezes. . . be excellent to one another. Gathering grown family members is a truly wondrous gift. Wondrous indeed. . . grinning, ear to ear.
