GERMS ARE EVERYWHERE: In-use makeup products, namely blending sponges, crawling with infectious bacteria: study. “Conducted by researchers with Aston University’s School of Life and Health Sciences in the UK, the study found that roughly 90 percent of the makeup products tested – such as mascara, lip gloss and ‘blender’ sponges – were contaminated with ‘superbugs’ like E. coli and Staphylococci.”

THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!

Shot: ‘Kamala is a cop’ was a racist narrative that killed Harris’s campaign dead. And whatever you think about her, it’s deeply unfair.

—The London Independent, yesterday.

Chaser: Kamala Harris, a ‘Top Cop’ in the Era of Black Lives Matter.

C. BRADLEY THOMPSON: ‘Americanism’ can save us from a modern-day civil war. Here’s why.

I recommend his book, America’s Revolutionary Mind: A Moral History of the American Revolution and the Declaration That Defined It. But it’s a problem that opposition to ‘Americanism’ is a core tenet of the left.
