ALL PERFECTLY NORMAL IN CLOWN WORLD:  Russian rout in progress, deputies calling for Putin ouster; hilarious scene as leftist calls cops on PragerU activists; defamation of a family business defended as academic freedom; Jen Psaki now “fact-checker” in risible MSM move; does the coulroverse exist?

YOU KNOW WHAT STOPS THAT?  New York Gov. Hochul Declares ‘State of Emergency’ After Polio Found in Another County’s Wastewater Samples.

Closing the borders. It also helps if you don’t turn your city into open air sewers.

FEDS ARE THE RED QUEEN:  Trump Response to Stay Motion: Special Master Needed, Feds Trying “to skip the process and proceed straight to a preordained conclusion”.

ITEM ONE, WE’RE NOT A DEMOCRACY:   Ex-CNN Host Brian Stelter Joins Harvard to Discuss ‘Threats to Democracy’.

Item 2, the discussion should take place in front of mirrors.

AS THEY SHOULD:  ‘Welcome to Our World’: Border Sheriffs Unload on Mayors for Complaining About Illegal Immigrants.

GOOD:  GOP Senate Candidates Get Loud and Fight Back Before the Election.

AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE GET TROPHIES NOT FOR EXCELLENCE, BUT FOR INNATE CHARACTERISTICS:  This exchange between a museum curator and a writer for the Atlantic is nuts.

YEAH, THE PROBLEM IS THE LEFT HAS MADE EDUCATION INTO HARRISON BERGERON:  Why ‘everyone gets a trophy’ isn’t actually the problem.

IT STARTS WITH CONFUSING LOVE WITH SEX:  Tinder Generation Can’t Find Love.

There is more love in a quiet 20 year marriage than you can find in all the sweaty hookups in the world. No matter what bad romance novels tell you.

THEREBY MAKING IT MORE LIKELY YOU’LL BUY GUNS WITH CASH AND BE LESS TRACEABLE:  Credit Card Companies Capitulate To Anti-Gun Lobby.

NONE OF OUR OTHER INSTITUTIONS HAS PROVEN TRUSTWORTHY, SO. . . There is a reason Americans (not just Republicans) distrust election results. “It is shocking enough that 94% of the most populated counties somehow don’t keep records that are mandated by law, but it really is disturbing that in the cases that records are available there is a nearly 3% discrepancy between the records and the results reported. Elections turn on such numbers.”

WHAT I GET FROM THIS IS THAT THE GUGGENHEIM IS HIRING CURATORS WHO SEEM INCAPABLE OF WORKING WITH PEOPLE: This exchange between a museum curator and a writer for the Atlantic is nuts. “And that’s just the start of this thread. There are another 30 tweets that follow, none of which manages to explain why the author is shouting at a journalist over a polite request to talk.”

Anyway, somehow this whole performance reminds me of this recent story: Woman claims she was arrested at airport for being too ‘good-looking.’

OPEN THREAD: It seems like we had one of those just yesterday.

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE:

IF THERE’S ANYTHING WE NEED, IT’S MORE REGULATION: White House requests proposals for regulating novel commercial space activities.

OOPS: Watch: Blue Origin rocket suffers booster failure, prompting emergency abort system.

NOW HE’S STEALING IDEAS FROM RICHARD NIXON: In a nod to JFK, Biden pushing ‘moonshot’ to fight cancer.

Nixon over 50 years ago: “I will also ask for an appropriation of an extra $100 million to launch an intensive campaign to find a cure for cancer, and I will ask later for whatever additional funds can effectively be used. The time has come in America when the same kind of concentrated effort that split the atom and took man to the moon should be turned toward conquering this dread disease. Let us make a total national commitment to achieve this goal.”

The War on Cancer, like the War on Poverty, the War on Drugs, and the War on Terror, was an expensive failure. Of course, to be fair, our government hasn’t even won an actual war in years.

JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Stacey Lennox describes in detail how and why Republicans must give Democrats large doses of their own rancid political medicine in order to have any hope of restoring regular order in Congress. I would only add that if the GOP doesn’t, it’s future viability as an effective tool for saving the republic will be all but gone.
