Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 3/18/26, 7:56 am

Happy Transit Operator Appreciation Day everyone. If you said “thank you” enough while exiting your bus, the Water Taxi fairy will reward you.

  • Nobody wants the TransAlta power plant but President Trump orders it to stay open is a real microcosm of his entire administration.
  • Matt Shea, go away.
  • Are there more important elections this year than the banner in the International District? Maybe. But I won’t see my member of Congress or state legislators as often.
  • 500 shelter units by the end of May feels very ambitious.
  • A nurse is a human in Washington.

    America First!

    The Jones Act, formally the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, requires that ships transporting cargo between US ports be US-built, US-owned, US-flagged and US-crewed — costly requirements that raise the expense of domestic seaborne goods flows. Trump’s waiver, granted on Wednesday, allows foreign-flagged vessels to transport cargoes around the United States for 60 days, Leavitt said.

    From previous thread

    Because kids on Campus are Anti-Semitic. But Joe knows the truth about the control of World affairs by the shadowy hand of the Jews.

    And now we are in the arms of the “Towel Heads” too!

    Isreal wasn’t the only one to get us to have this excursion with Iran, Saudis too, based on 5B for Jared.

    WSJ:

    The Journal reviewed the contents of one call between a senior Iranian police commander and an agent of the Mossad, Israel’s foreign-intelligence service.

    “Can you hear me?” a Mossad agent can be heard, speaking in Farsi. “We know everything about you. You are on our blacklist, and we have all the information about you.”

    “OK,” the commander said in the recording.

    “I called to warn you in advance that you should stand with your people’s side,” the Mossad agent said.

    The calls are coming from inside the Iranian house.
