SUZANNE VENKER: Never Marry A Feminist.
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THE MODERN DEMOCRATIC PARTY TOUCHES, IT’S BEEN DEVALUED AND MADE PARTISAN: Roger Kimball: Impeachment is now just another bludgeon in the armory of political warfare. “The Democrats have been talking about impeaching Donald Trump from the day he was elected. As Rep. Al Green memorably put it back in 2018, ‘I’m concerned if we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected.’ And we can’t have that, can we?”

WELL, GOOD, I LIKE A NICE CAESAR SALAD: CDC: E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce is over.
THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SEVEN REASONS, AND ALSO SHUT UP: Seven Times the GAO Found the Obama Administration Violated Federal Law.
STICK WITH OLIVE OIL AND LARD: Soybean oil, America’s most widely consumed oil, causes genetic changes in the brain. “Used for fast food frying, added to packaged foods, and fed to livestock, soybean oil is by far the most widely produced and consumed edible oil in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In all likelihood, it is not healthy for humans.”
TRUMP AND THE NILE. “Against the backdrop of continuing tension in the Middle East, the United States is playing a peacekeeping role in a dispute among Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia.” Weird, I thought Trump was an angry toddler who is setting the world ablaze.

A FINELY-TUNED MIRACLE OR AN ACCIDENTAL HAPPENING? That’s the question posed by the Intelligent Design folks in this arresting video. One thing everybody should be able to agree on is what an amazing place is our universe, regardless of how we believe it came to be.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Martha McSally’s Moment of Media Relations Zen.
Arizona Republicans like me are more than happy to see McSally exhibiting some fire. She can be a bit of a bland campaigner and has recently been slipping behind in the polls to Mark Kelly, Gabby Giffords’s gun-grabbing, former astronaut husband. (Fun fact: although it was renumbered, the congressional district that McSally was elected to represent in 2014 was the district that Gabby Giffords used to represent.)
McSally almost immediately began using the incident for fundraising, another area where she has been trailing Kelly.
This would be a very good time for McSally to get back in touch with her inner fighter pilot, before Kelly pulls away in the polls. At present, she is within the margin of error in most of them.
Keep fighting.
