PHOENIX MAYOR, DEMOCRAT, SLAMS TRUMP DEPORTATION OF MEXICAN-BORN MOTHER OF TWO AS ‘TRAVESTY:’

During the Wednesday night demonstration, Rayos’ 16-year-old son, Angel, told the crowd, “My mom did nothing wrong. My mom is not a criminal.”

But Rayos does have a criminal record because of her conviction on a felony charge of identification theft. She was arrested during one of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s workplace raids.

ICE officials said Rayos’ removal under a voluntary deportation order was finalized by the Department of Justice in May 2013.

DEMOCRAT PRIVILEGE: Dem Who Lied About Vietnam Service Calls for Extreme Vetting of Gorsuch.

Blumenthal’s own credibility has been called into question since he entered public life. When Blumenthal first ran for the Senate in 2010, the New York Times revealed that he had lied for years about fighting in the Vietnam War. Blumenthal repeatedly touted his supposed combat experience in speeches to veterans groups and civic organizations, saying he had “served in Vietnam.”

However, a review of his military records revealed that he procured five deferments from the military before joining the Marine Reserve. During the war he traveled as far west as Washington, where he helped the Toys for Tots program, but never saw actual combat.

Yet the Dem-operative press doesn’t make a big deal of this. Likewise Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin, who lied about flying combat missions in Vietnam but somehow always got a pass.

FACT-CHECKING THE WASHINGTON POST, AND IT’S NOT PRETTY: Fact Check: Obama Is Not Good at Kite Surfing, Any Sport. The Obama video is especially not pretty. And they don’t even include his infamous weight-training video.

Plus, kudos to the Free Beacon’s Elizabeth Harrington for a perfect send-up of the WaPo Fact-checkers’ self-satisfied style:

The Pinocchio Test

The Washington Post claims Obama is “pretty good at basketball” and “makes [the] rest of us look bad with his effortless kitesurfing.” But there is little evidence either claim is true.

A substantial amount of video footage exists disproving their claim that Obama is “not just a one-sport athlete.” Moreover, the record shows Obama is not even a one-sport athlete as he has proven to be terrible at basketball, baseball, bowling, and now kitesurfing.

It’s one thing to write about Obama’s life after the White House, but the Washington Post goes too far in declaring Obama to be athletic. Not only does the Post make this outrageous claim, they also seek to demean their own readers by saying the American people “look bad” because of Obama’s athletic ability. We award Four Pinocchios.

Spot-on.

Police said Swanson was so drunk at the time, he had no clue what was going on.

FASTER, PLEASE: Progress, And Momentum, On Doing Something About Aging.

Fifteen years ago, de Grey was lead author of a paper in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences which claimed the “indefinite postponement of aging . . . may be within sight”. Since then, he says, his position among gerontologists — the scientists of ageing and its related ills — has changed from sidelined dilettante to one of the discipline’s most influential and public voices.

Most approaches aimed at combating ageing focus on arresting the harmful byproducts of metabolism, he says. These cause cellular damage and decay, which, in turn, accumulate to trigger the age-related disorders, such as cancer or dementia, that tend to finish us off.

For de Grey, this strategy turns anti-ageing treatment into an impossible game of Whac-A-Mole. Because we understand metabolism so poorly, our efforts to interfere with it remain crude and the process of decay races through the body far quicker than treatments to avert it can keep up.

Instead of stopping the damage, the approach that de Grey has developed at his research centre — Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS), a public charity that he co-founded in 2009 — focuses on repair. This “engineering” approach is designed to keep the process of degradation below the threshold at which it turns into life-threatening disease. “If you can repair the microscopic damage then you are sidestepping the bigger problem [of prevention]”.

While his science may now be more widely accepted, his pronouncements of impending immortality remain unpopular among his peers. Their squeamishness is unsupported by the evidence, he says. It belies an intellectual dishonesty that has at its heart a deeply emotional — and increasingly erroneous — attachment to the inevitability of death, according to de Grey.

Historically, accepting the inevitability of death was the rational choice and a necessary requirement, he says, “to get on and make the most of our miserably short lives”. Today, when technology has advanced enough to put us “within striking distance” of extending human life by a multiple of existing lifespans, this acceptance has become a huge obstacle to achieving that goal. The traditional emotional need to accept our own mortality has generated a “pro-ageing trance” which is hobbling even the best scientists from pursuing the enterprise with the ardour it demands.

Well, get over it, guys. I’m not getting any younger here — and neither is anybody else.
