TRUST THE SCIENCE, TRUST DR. FAUCI: NIH Under Fire for $2 Million ‘Painful’ Experiments on Puppies.

MODERN PROBLEMS: Someone apparently leaked classified Chinese tank schematics to win an online argument.

RUN ON THIS, DEMOCRATS: Dem Congressman Warns America: We Will Stop at Nothing Until We Confiscate Your Guns.

Meanwhile, I’ve seen this on various social media. (Note: Not an actual Peanuts cartoon, but a parody . . . )

YES.

We are governed by creeps, crooks, and incompetents.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. “Hollywood doesn’t appear progressive to me. What I see is unrestrained capitalism topped with a thin layer of virtue signaling.”

UNIVERSITIES NEED OUTSIDE, ADULT SUPERVISION: Second Circuit Wheels on Campus Justice, Likening It to a Star Chamber: Judge Cabranes warns of ‘miscarriages of justice’ in sexual harrassment cases that are ‘life and death for our great universities.’

In a decision that is set to strike American campuses like a thunderbolt, a trio of appellate judges in the Second Circuit handed professors and others accused of sexual harassment without due process the ability to turn to federal civil rights law as they seek to defend themselves.

In what is poised to become a classic defense of due process on campus, one of the judges, José Cabranes, thundered in a concurrence that a Cornell professor denied tenure on account of a sexual harassment allegation had faced a system that is the rough equivalent of an “English Star Chamber,” a notorious and unaccountable tribunal that once sat at Westminster.

Well, he’s right.

PAULA BOLYARD: Pride Is Still a Sin and the Rainbow Still Belongs to God.

MICHAEL S. MALONE: Interviewing Julia Child.

Got a call from an old college buddy of mine who now lives in Hawaii. He apparently turned on CNN’s new Julia Child documentary (it premiered May 30) and got a surprise. It seems there is a scene — which now has more than 1.1 million views on YouTube — in which Ms. Child talks about her love of Mcdonald’s french fries . . . and how disappointed she was when Mickey D’s stopped using lard to cook them.

I know that clip well, because I was Julia’s interviewer. . . .

Before the shoot, when we were asked if we wanted something to drink, Julia immediately asked for a martini.

She knew how to live, and she lived a long time.

AND IN A PERSONAL NOTE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ONE DAY LATE: To my friend Jim Bellmore!

Here’s to another 50.

ANOTHER THIRD HAVE PLANS THAT ARE WILDLY UNREALISTIC:  One-third of Americans admit they had no life plan after graduating school.

Which makes them about the same as previous generations.

Me? I was going to move to America and become a science fiction writer. I mean, what are the odds?

NONE OF THEM NAMED BIDEN:  South Carolina undercover sting busts 11 men creeping kids online.

But only because the Bidens don’t live in South Carolina.

GOOD NEWS FOR VODKAPUNDIT!  Older drinkers recover faster from surgery than non-drinkers, study reveals.

THE LEFT HATES THE FIRST AMENDMENT AS MUCH AS THE SECOND:  Today’s blacklisted American: Teacher fired in retaliation for speaking out at school board meeting.

Someone needs to make a t-shirt that says “Warning, American. You can’t shut me up, and I can shoot.”

NOT SUS AT ALL:  The left’s war against conservative DAs investigating election fraud, and against lawyers who would defend conservatives.

Only perfectly innocent people refuse to have investigations for fraud, right?

THIS AFTER THE SHOTS HAVE PROVEN COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE AT PREVENTING INFECTION:  Today’s blacklisted American: Long Beach to discriminate against any employee who refuses COVID jab.

Note that “But it makes it milder” is not a rationale for mandated shots. That would only make sense if it stopped contagion. (And even then only about two years ago. So only if the shots came with a time machine.)

NO RACIAL ANYTHING:  The Tulsa hospital shooting.

STILL WILDLY OVER PAID:  Norah O’Donnell’s salary slashed by more than half at ‘CBS Evening News’.

Mind you, their attempts mostly encourage homelessness, but even in San Francisco, who thinks that’s reasonable?
