DO LET’S CONSIDER THE ACTION, NOT THE METHOD: They kill people!!

AND WHY AFTER ALL THIS SHOULD WE LISTEN TO THEM? Government revises Dietary Guidelines for Americans: Go ahead and have some eggs.

HORSE MANURE: Scientists say humans have now brought on an entirely new geologic epoch.

YEAH, IT’S BAD ADVICE, FOR THE NERDS (WE PREFER GEEKS.):  I told a friend yesterday there is a war on competence.  That’s what this boils down to.  Hey, guys, if you’re intelligent and have geeky interests, you don’t know how to treat people and don’t care about feelings.  You heard it from the Washington Post first.  Oh, no, wait, my bad.  You heard it from stupid teachers and taunting classmates first. Hollywood has told women to date nerds for decades. It’s bad advice.

AND DON’T EVEN DREAM OF GETTING THE REAL NUMBERS: Friday’s jobs stats could stir up Wall Street drama.

PARTICULARLY SINCE YOU CAN GET ON THE LIST FOR ALL SORTS OF CRAZY THINGS: Labeling sex offenders’ passports is overkill.

HATERS GOT TO FIND HATE:  Also, how dare you have fun they haven’t approved of?  Listen to the joyless scolds.  They know how you should have fun, the RIGHT way. Does Quentin Tarantino Hate Women and Minorities? (This is not my circus, not my monkeys, since I rarely watch movies, but what they’re saying is so familiar, as it will be to anyone who games, reads, or just wants to attend school and live their own lives.)

IT’S CALLED MULTI-CULTURALISM: The European Sickness Spreads.

COMMIES GONNA AIRBRUSH: MSNBC Edits Out Footage of Bill Clinton Being Asked About Juanita Broaddrick.

SHOCKER: Feds arrest two Middle East refugees on terror-related charges. “Both men were Palestinians born in Iraq and living as refugees in the United States, according to the U.S. Justice Department. And both of them are accused of lying to immigration officials about their alleged ties to terrorist organizations.”

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

UPDATE: From the comments: “Mr. Obama would confer a high level conference which would ban all fraternities. Is it any wonder Trump has traction? Our ruling elite is corrupt to the core. To the core. And cares nothing for the average citizen.”

FLASHBACK: Dems Turn to Mocking Terror Fears.

STACY MCCAIN: Feminist Barbie and ‘Rape Culture.’

ACTUALLY, IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GENUINE SUICIDE VEST: Paris Cops Kill Man in Fake Suicide Vest: He had a knife, shouted ‘Allahu akbar’ at police station.

He will not be missed. Just think of it as evolution in action.

YOU WERE ALREADY IRRELEVANT, JEB, AND NOW YOU’VE JUST MADE YOURSELF MORE SO: Jeb: Trump’s An Isolationist, And I Won’t Promise To Support Him If He’s The Nominee. Didn’t you take a pledge to support the nominee, whoever it was?

Jeb has underperformed more than anyone could have expected. He should have taken the advice I gave him a year ago.

And you can’t put out a fire this big with an airbrush.

CHARLES C.W. COOKE: Even Obama Understands the Second Amendment Better Than Liberal Activists:

Consider: In order to argue with a straight face that the right to keep and bear arms is inextricably linked with “service in an organized and sanctioned militia,” you would have to believe the following unbelievable things: 1) that the Founders’ intent in codifying the Second Amendment was to protect the right of individuals to join an organization over which the federal government has constitutionally granted plenary power; 2) that unlike every other provision in the Bill of Rights — and every other constitutional measure that is wrapped in the “right of the people” formulation — the Second Amendment denotes something other than an individual right that can be asserted against the state; and 3) that every major judicial figure of the era was mistaken as to its meaning — among them, Joseph Story, William Rawle, St. George Tucker, Timothy Farrar, and Tench Coxe, all of whom explained the Second Amendment perfectly clearly — whereas a few judges and politicians in the 20th century have been bang on in their comprehension.

Furthermore, one has to grapple with the theory’s obvious consequences. If it is indeed the case that “a well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state” — and if this supposition is binding rather than explanatory — then one has no choice but to conclude that America is both insecure and unfree, and and no choice but to wonder aloud whether the government has abdicated its enumerated constitutional responsibilities to the point at which its legitimate authority must not only be called into question but supplanted by volunteers.

As Fordham’s Nicholas Johnson has noted trenchantly, presumptions such as these are flatly unsustainable in the face of sedulous investigation, and their key progenitor — the now-retired Justice John Paul Stevens — has done little but embarrass himself with their promulgation.

Most of them, however, are beyond embarrassment.

RANDY BARNETT: Why Ted Cruz is a “natural born citizen.” “Just as the offspring of the sovereign monarch are ‘natural born subjects’ of the realm regardless of where they are born, so too are offspring of the sovereign individual citizen ‘natural born citizens’ of the United States, though they may be born outside its borders. Who is the sovereign, not territory, is what matters. In the United States, it is We the People, each and every one.”

A QUESTION SHE’LL NEVER BE ASKED: Would today’s Hillary Clinton would have supported the Bill Clinton of the 1990s if he weren’t her husband?, ponders Betsy Newmark.

And speaking of a nation whose elites have moved far to the left of where they were in the mid-1990s, also at the same link as part of Betsy’s aggregation of news stories, Dan Henninger on the “Revolt of the Politically Incorrect — Donald Trump and Ben Carson popped the valves on decades of pent-up PC pressure.” As Henninger writes, “The PC game has always been: We win, you lose, get over it, comply. But people don’t get over it, and they never forget. For a lot of voters now, possibly a majority, their experiences with enforceable, politically correct behavior, speech and thought have bred a broad mistrust of elites.”

Who have chosen the form of their destructor, to coin an Insta-phrase.

TEACH WOMEN NOT TO LIE ABOUT RAPE: White Woman Accuses Black Man Of Rape After Bragging.

The two accused students, identified in the lawsuit as Justin Browning and Alphonso Baity, II, are both African-American. They were accused by a white woman, identified in the lawsuit only as M.K., after an encounter at a party.

Browning and Baity were expelled despite the fact that every witness interviewed corroborated the accused students’ story, and that witnesses came forward to say that M.K. bragged about the encounter as a consensual act. Not only were they expelled, but the expulsions came just two days after the accusation was filed, and campus procedures regarding sexual assault accusations were not followed. . . .

At some point M.K. returned to the bedroom with Browning and again engaged in sexual activity. Again, the lawsuit claims the acts were consensual and that M.K. initiated.

Throughout all of this, the roommates and friends heard sounds coming from the bedroom that indicated consensual sexual activity.

M.K. left in the morning and returned to her dorm, where she discussed the previous night with other women in the dorm, including the resident assistant. According to at least one of these women, M.K. bragged about the evening and her sexual activity with Browning and Baity. M.K. never suggested any sexual assault took place.

Around that same time, M.K. also told another of her friends about the sexual activity with Browning and Baity; again, she was bragging. She even interacted with Baity and his friends in the days following the encounter.

Yet 10 days later, M.K. would accuse Browning and Baity of sexual assault.

Another case of “regret rape.”

OBAMA’S FIDDLING, WHILE NORTH KOREA GIVES GLOBAL TUTORIALS ON HOW TO GET THE NUCLEAR BOMB, Claudia Rosett writes:

Surely North Korea’s weapons clients in Iran are watching closely, even as they benefit from a nuclear deal struck just last year — which they are already violating, and can scrap entirely at a time of their choosing. So are others in the Middle East, where the feckless Iran deal has already fueled interest in a nuclear arms race. The world is watching. And learning. Whether it was an H-bomb or an A-bomb is an important question. The bigger question is what must now be done to ensure that North Korea is stopped. Entirely. And who will do it?

Well, not this administration, of course. Which is why, as Victor Davis Hanson writes, “Look for America’s Enemies to Take Advantage of Obama’s Last Year.”

And the DNC-MSM are happy to cover for him — minimizing Obama’s foreign policy disasters simultaneously hides those of his former Secretary of State.

H.L. MENCKEN LEFT THE BUILDING A VERY LONG TIME AGO: Baltimore Sun editor calls for ‘searchable database of gun owners online.’

That program would of course, also serve double-duty as a searchable database of their neighbors without guns. Which presumably means that unlike these scaredy-cat Democrat operatives with bylines, Sun deputy editorial page editor Tricia Bishop would have no problem displaying a “This Home Proudly Gun-Free” sign on her front lawn, right?
