ANALYSIS: TRUE. Public health has fragmented trust: The problem is not rogue online misinformation; it is errors from CDC, NIAID, and the White House.

BECAUSE THEY’RE MEAN: “Why does everyone [mock Jordan] Peterson for caring about young, lost or depressed people? Is it such a bad thing to get emotional? The man speaks truth and good, but still people don’t get it.”

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Your Gun Rights Are Just As Precarious As Abortion Rights.

One difference is that gun rights advocates have been working legislatures for decades, while abortion rights advocates have mostly relied on the courts. If Heller were overturned, those pro-gun state laws would still be on the books. There’s no similar mass of state abortion rights laws. Also, Peter Sagal’s reading of Heller is too narrow, but the political point about the dangers of relying on courts is correct.

BEST SCENE FROM ‘THE CHOSEN:’ Remember when those “John 3:16” signs were familiar sites behind the goalposts in TV football games? Portraying that verse, about being “born again,” may be the most powerful and evocative scene thus far in “The Chosen.” No matter where you are on the spiritual spectrum, this scene, on HillFaith, is immensely arresting, and entertaining.

WELL, SURE, THESE TESTS MAKE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION TOO OBVIOUS AND EASY TO PROVE: BREAKING: the ABA is officially recommending the elimination of the standardized test requirement for admission to law school.

STUDENTS FOR FAIR ADMISSIONS v. HARVARD:  The “friend of the court” briefs supporting Students For Fair Admissions in the Harvard case are due on Monday.  One of the briefs will be making the argument found this article:  How can the Court find that the case for race discrimination in college admissions is “compelling” if American voters have over and over again found it to be a crock?

AND YET IF YOU EXPOSED A SIMILAR PUBLIC HEALTH SCANDAL TODAY YOU’D BE ACCUSED OF “SPREADING MISINFORMATION” AND CENSORED: 50 years on, the lessons of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study still reverberate.

I can’t imagine why anyone would distrust the noble public health physicians: “The Tuskegee study was not the only ethically egregious STD study conducted during this troubling period. Between 1946 and 1948, Cutler was also involved in experiments that deliberately infected Guatemalan people with syphilis and gonorrhea and then treated them to test the efficacy of those treatments. This was initially done by having prisoners sleep with infected prostitutes, but the transmission rate wasn’t high enough. So the researchers began artificially inoculating Guatemalan soldiers, psychiatric inmates, and children in orphanages with the disease. (The notebooks contain graphic accounts of pulling back the foreskin of a subject’s penis and forcefully rolling a contaminated swab over the exposed area, among other methods.)”

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED: J. Christian Adams: Do the Unhinged Protesters Know It’s a Crime to Protest at a Supreme Court Justice’s Home?

No. They only know that it’s a Saul Alinsky approved tactic, and that’s good enough for nationalizing the socialist government work.

More questions from Jim Treacher:

Who’s paying for this “Ruth Sent Us” organization that has announced plans to protest at the homes of Supreme Court justices? Why do they think Ruth Bader Ginsburg would want them to do that?

And why won’t the president of the United States condemn it?

Libs claim to oppose political violence and intimidation, yet they excuse it when it suits their purposes. Jen Psaki will be right at home on MSNBC.

H.D. MILLER: The Dime Meal —  Eating Cheap in the Great Depression.

And, boom! Just like that we can see exactly what was on the menu at the cheapest restaurant in Los Angeles in 1934: pie and coffee for a nickel, corned beef and cabbage for fifteen cents. Given that clean flophouse beds in Los Angeles were, according to A.C. Faith, 15 cents a night, it was possible to live on less than 50 cents a day during the height of the Great Depression.

One more detail to add, that is, that, for a long time, most of the really cheap cafes on the West Coast were owned by first and second generation Japanese businessmen. This is something I wrote about in the second part of my article, The Great Sushi Craze of 1905, how Japanese cooks dominated the market for cheap meals in the period before World War I. By the Depression, however, competition emerged from restaurants run by Greeks, Balkans, Chinese, African-Americans and others.
