Further thoughts on this horrific attack from Clay Travis and Jesse Watters:

On June 28, 2015, Serbian film director Emir Kusturica unveiled and kissed a new statue to Gavrilo Princip in Belgrade. It was the 101st anniversary of Princip, 19, triggering the Great War, the war to end all wars. We now call it World War One because it did not end all wars, it merely expanded the arsenal of war to include tanks and aircraft. Princip was the young man who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Europe had a hodge-podge of mutual defense agreements that instead of deterring war fueled it.
The Dual Alliance, Triple Alliance, German–Ottoman alliance, Ottoman–Bulgarian alliance and Bulgaria–Germany treaty created the Central Powers (the German Empire, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria). They took on the Allies, who were led by France, the British Empire and the Russian Empire. They were intertwined by treaties as well. The war dragged in a score of other countries on the Allies side including Brazil, China, Japan and of course, the United States. The war destroyed four empires and birthed the Soviet Union, which would devolve into an evil empire far worse than any of the others.
31% of the population of Serbia perished in the war, and yet Gavrilo Princip, who died in prison before the war’s end, is a hero in Serbia. Madness. That he brought devastation to the land matters not. His statue reminds me of the statues of Robert E. Lee, who led the South to its ruin. The statue of Princip is proof that one man’s terrorist is another man’s patriot.
It is with this in mind that I view Volodymyr Zelensky.
YOU CAN’T SPELL GROOMERS WITHOUT THE INITIALS “GM:” Drag queens and drag races, Chevy does it all. “Chevrolet has partnered with LGBTQ Nation to promote transgender ideology and other LGBTQ+ issues, emphasizing among other things that they have a political agenda to destroy current social norms and transform the society and our children into something matching their vision. The mask has come off, and it is a bad look for Chevy. Far from merely asserting that the goal is to expand tolerance for and acceptance of alternative lifestyles, the program is explicitly political. Chevy has decided to enter the culture wars on the side of the gender benders.”
Cockburn asked a few conservatives what they make of French’s move to the New York Times. “French claims to be a Republican but his move to the New York Times proves that he is in the globalist elitist uniparty,” said Roger Stone. “There is no differentiation between the views of David French and the effete, out-of-touch, elitist NYT editorial board. He will fit right in!”
“David French has emerged in recent years as the American punditry class’ foremost house-trained, faux-‘conservative’ voice,” said Newsweek‘s Josh Hammer. “It is thus wholly unsurprising that the wokesters at the New York Times would deem French a good fit to be their shiny new controlled-opposition columnist.”
Ryan Girdusky, author of the National Populist newsletter, simply said: “David French? Never heard of her.”
HMM. Shocking Yale Research: Common Nutrient Found To Aid Survival of Cancer-Causing Bacterium. “In the study, researchers at the Yale Microbial Sciences Institute found that bacteria ingest the EGT nutrient — which is abundant in foods like mushrooms, beans, and grains — to aid their survival. In the case of the gastric cancer-causing pathogen Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium used the nutrient to compete successfully for survival in host tissues.”
Burgers and fries — best thing for you! Just don’t put mushrooms on the burger. Well, maybe you don’t want to avoid EGT, because it’s not just good for bacteria, but for you: “Human cells also take in dietary EGT. In humans, EGT is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and is widely associated with disease prevention. Reduced levels of EGT have been linked to an increased risk of neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and autoimmune disorders, suggesting bacterial consumption of this nutrient may have far-reaching implications for human health.”
Revealing that the headline is as concerned with “stigma” as with the actual problem. Of course, the concern with “stigma” comes from “Sarah Nutter, a psychologist at the University of Victoria in Canada, who specializes in weight stigma and body image.”
‘THE MOST ACCURATE MOVIE ABOUT CAMPUS LIFE THAT I CAN REMEMBER.’ So said the late Roger Ebert about Wonder Boys, based on Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon’s book of the same name. Back then, it took some mighty serious offenses to fire a tenured professor like main character Grady Tripp. (Now it just takes an insufficiently woke tweet, yet somehow we’re not better off.) If you haven’t read or seen it, it might be worth checking out.
This is our annual summary of current war zones and an overview of where it is all heading. After this overview there is the alphabetical list of the war zones and a quick summary of how the local mayhem has been proceeding. Since we have been covering this sort of thing for over twenty years now there are many war zones that have gone quiet, we left most of those in summary, with a note that those wars had gone dormant, and maybe extinct. History shows that dormant is more common than extinct. Forever wars, or at least multi-century ones, are an ancient tradition.

If you think 100,000 songs a day going into the market is a big number, “you have no idea what’s coming next,” says Alex Mitchell, founder/CEO of Boomy, a music creation platform that can compose an instrumental at the click of an icon.
Boomy is one of many so-called “generative artificial intelligence” music companies — others include Soundful, BandLab’s SongStarter and Authentic Artists — founded to democratize songwriting and production even more than the synthesizer did in the 1970s, the drum machine in the ’80s and ’90s, digital audio workstations in the 2000s and sample and beat libraries in the 2010s.
In each of those cases, however, trained musicians were required to operate this technology in order to produce songs. The selling point of generative AI is that no musical knowledge or training is necessary. Anyone can potentially create a hit song with the help of computers that evolve with each artificially produced guitar lick or drumbeat.
Not surprisingly, the technology breakthrough has also generated anxiety among professional musicians, producers, engineers and others in the recorded-music industry who worry that their livelihoods could potentially be threatened.
