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.

LOW ENERGY.

HALFWAY THERE: New Dietary Guidelines Urge Less Sugar for All and Less Protein for Boys and Men.

MARK STEYN ON THE GHOSTS OF CHARLIE HEBDO, ONE YEAR LATER: “The weepy passive candlelight vigils — the maudlin faux tears and the Smug Moral Preening overdose — aren’t enough. If you don’t want to put out the fire, it will burn your world to the ground.”

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.
