Quick takes on the news, 2/13/26

  Friday the 13th, your lucky day!

  Most of the following are reactions to Instapundit posts:

  Is it possible that I've boycotted marriage all these years? There seems to be a marked reluctance to tie the knot on a few occasions.

  Anybody surprised?, it asks.  I'm not.  What would be very surprising is if anybody in a leadership position outside of MAGA actually did anything about it.

  Squatter's rights.  A co-worker from El Salvador once described how this worked in his country.  He didn't like it.  A homeowner could lose his house that way.

  It's a poison pill or it should be.  If the GOP agreed to this, they should be shot. Not kidding.  But that's what I fear that they might do because it's the way they are.

Now for something besides Instapundit:

  Ground News that follows the Marxist Paradigm: Supposed 'blind-spot' on the so-called right.  Comment: Poisoned fruit from the limp-wristed response to commie treachery?

  This is a kind of projection that Adolf Hitler used when he attacked Poland, and claimed that Poland was the aggressor.  The Moose-limbs loved themselves up a lot of Adolf, and they are in the commie party, aka Democrats.
