When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, issued a criminal referral of Smith on Wednesday, arguing newly released records contradict Smith’s testimony to his committee that he did not obtain or review lawmakers’ text messages during his multiple probes into President Donald Trump.
“All individuals have an obligation to comply with a duly authorized congressional inquiry. Mr. Smith, a former public servant, is no different,” Jordan wrote in a letter to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Wednesday. “Yet his testimony included intentionally false statements designed to obstruct the Committee’s oversight.”
“His conduct can only be understood as an effort to thwart the Committee’s inquiry by intentionally making false statements and representations before Congress,” Jordan continued, adding that the Justice Department should examine whether Smith’s actions warrant criminal charges.

What’s the phrase “I’m willing to entertain…” supposed to mean anyway? That he’s going to hold the project ransom at some point? It would be nice to hear “I enthusiastically endorse…” instead, but that would probably land him in hot water with the greenies.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says he’s open to a west-east pipeline being pitched by his counterparts in Alberta and Ontario.
But he says major projects like pipelines need to be built the right way, by addressing environmental concerns and bringing Indigenous governments on board.

The Great Negotiator
My friends, watch out for the little fellow with raised elbows: The entire ribbon cutting ceremony for the Gordie Howe bridge has been cancelled, not just the participation of officials from Canada’s federal government. Also, the full agreement on the bridge is released and it’s not good for Canada.

Yes, but at least the United Nations got $8.5 million in Canadian taxpayer dollars to “establish an International Indigenous-led Fire Adaptation Network,” and “increase access to gender-responsive Integrated Fire Management training.”
Two of Ontario’s nine waterbombers are grounded for repairs as the province calls in help from across the country to battle for control of nearly 200 wildfires ripping through the north.
Questions from opponents and experts have lingered through the fire season about how many planes Ontario has from its own fleet available to fight, with questions and concerns about crewing and mechanical readiness.
The Ministry of Natural Resources indicated to Global News that two of its waterbombers were grounded for repairs but said there were no issues with staffing its fleet, claiming the rest of its planes are in use.

I’m blessed to know a number of Nicaraguans in the San Francisco Bay Area. They are all refugees from the dictatorship of Daniel Ortega, who is now dispensing with the illusion of elections.
All Americans should be very disturbed by Bernie Sanders’ close relationship with Ortega:

I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords
Users of OpenAI’s latest coding and cybersecurity-oriented flagship model, GPT-5.6 Sol, are posting horrifying accounts on social media, claiming the model just up and deleted their files, data, even entire databases on its own, without asking first.
“GPT-5.6-Sol just accidentally deleted almost ALL of my Mac’s files,” wrote Matt Shumer, the founder and CEO of AI startup OthersideAI, maker of HyperWrite, in a now viral post on X.
“GPT-5.6 Sol just deleted my whole production database. That’s it. Not a joke. This had never happened to me before, with any other model, ever,” developer Bruno Lemos posted on X.
“Looks like I’ve gotten bit by Codex Sol’s overly ambitious system and it deleted some files it shouldn’t have. I have backups so I’ll be fine, but this is not cool, Sol needs to be toned down,” posted developer Joey Kudish.
