MARK JUDGE: All The President’s Men looks very different in 2023. “In 2016 and 2020, it was the Left doing what Nixon’s flunkies once did. Russiagate, as Durham reported, was based on opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton. Fittingly enough, a young Hillary Clinton was a low-level attorney working for the Watergate lawyers. And then there’s the Twitter Files, with its intersection of governmental bureaucracy and high-tech companies conspiring to censor thought they don’t approve of. They also squashed reports about the Hunter Biden laptop, which more than 50 former and current intelligence officials falsely said was fake.”

HMM: Study: Blood vessel damage could be an Alzheimer’s driver.
If that turns out to be true, I wonder if widespread use of PDE5 inhibitors, which seem to be quite good for blood vessel health, will lead to a reduced rate of this disease. Of course, since they’re mostly used by men, it would also lead to an increased sexual divergence in the disease frequency.

JOHN NOLTE: Disney’s ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Debuts to Brutal Reviews.
How many franchises does franchise-killer Kathleen Kennedy get to woke-rape before she’s fired? So far, it’s three: Star Wars, Willow, and Indiana Jones.
By the way, that super-woke Willow TV series is such a flop on Disney+, so rejected by viewers, it’s already scheduled to be removed from the streaming service to save money.
The first three Indiana Jones movies are fantastic. Why waste your time with garbage when you can revisit those?
Why spend all that time and money to go to a movie theater and sit through garbage when you can buy a Blu-ray of some classic movie you’ve never seen for half that cost? Why not use your time and money to take a chance that way? It’s a much safer bet, and the Blu-ray is yours to keep.
When even the leftwing BBC is saying, “I’m not sure how many fans want to see Indiana Jones as a broken, helpless old man who cowers in the corner while his patronising goddaughter takes the lead, but that’s what we’re given, and it’s as bleak as it sounds,” it might be time to consider your writing and directorial choices.

RON DESANTIS: “The chance of us backing down on that is zero.”
Standing behind the counter before a screen flashing ‘famous visitors,’ DeSantis said of Disney: ‘They’re going to live under the same laws as everybody else. They’re going to pay their fair share of taxes and they’re not going to govern themselves. We the people are going to govern, and to put one corporation on a pedestal and let them be exempt from the laws is not good policy,’ he said.
‘It’s not free market economics. And it’s not something that our state is going to be involved in. And so we will not change from that. They can do whatever they want. I know people try to chirp and say this or that. The chance of us backing down on that is zero.’
It’s nice to see Republicans standing up to corporate power.
IT’S NOW SAFEST TO ASSUME THAT ANY PUBLIC “RACISM” SCANDAL IS FAKE: ‘Karen’ Accused Of Racism When Accosted By Young Black Men Over Bicycle Produces Receipts: Lawyer.
The lawyer for a white pregnant New York City physician’s assistant who was vilified as a racist on social media after a confrontation with a group of young black men who claimed that one of them paid for a city bike she was taking has reportedly produced receipts showing she paid for the bike.
The encounter on May 12 between the nurse and the man, who had several apparent friends with him, resulted in a viral video seen over 40 million times with some people branding the woman a “Karen” for her actions during the incident. The lawyer representing the nurse said that she had finished a 12-hour shift when she paid for the bike and removed it from its docking station, only to have the group approach her with one holding onto the handlebars, claiming it was his. One man allegedly pushed the bike back into its docking station, prompting the woman to call for help and look as if she was trying to cry.
The essence of “Karenism” is privileged bullying. The privilege, and the bullying, were enjoyed by them, not by her.

HIGH NOON PODCAST WITH INEZ STEPMAN (and yours truly as guest): “How Legal Changes to the Civil Rights Act Turbocharged the Woke Regime.”
FLAG OFFICERS FOR AMERICA COME OUT SWINGING: On May 16th, 160 retired Admirals and Generals wrote a letter urging Congress to defund the military’s insane Diversity, Equity and Inclusion program. The letter begins:
We respectfully request that Congress, pursuant to its constitutional powers “… to raise and support Armies …” and “… to provide and maintain a Navy …,” take legislative action to remove all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs from the Department of Defense (DoD). Additionally, we ask that you ensure that no DEI related policies, programs, and funding are included in the 2024 NDAA.
As our Nation faces looming threats from “foreign” adversaries/enemies, our military is under assault from a culture war stemming from “domestic” ideologically inspired political policies and practices. If not stopped now, they will forever change the military’s warrior ethos essential to performing the mission of deterring aggression and failing that, to fight and win our Nation’s wars. Our military must be laser focused on one mission–readiness, undiminished by the culture war engulfing our country.
For generations, our military was a meritocracy, which, simply defined, means selection and advancement based solely on merit and ability. Service Members (SMs) were judged not by the color of their skin but by their character, duty performance, and potential. Meritocracy, coupled with equal opportunity, created conditions for all to advance and excel, which stimulates healthy competition, thereby raising standards. Historically, our military has been one of, if not the most, diverse and inclusive institution in America.
The domestic cultural threat has an innocuous name: “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI). But, in reality DEI is dividing, not uniting, our military and society. … Under the guide of DEI, some people are selected for career enhancing opportunities and advancement based on preferences given to identity groups based on race, gender, ethnic background, sexual orientation, etc.
It’s quite the letter. You can find the list of signatories at the link above.
OUR TOUGH-MINDED DIPLOMATS ON THE JOB: State Department Offers Counseling To Misgendered Employees Triggered By Email Pronoun Debacle.

REALITY BITES: #Sadz: Not all moonlight and unicorn farts anymore in the EU’s Green dreamland.
That looks like what’s happening in Europe right now, almost across the board. The frenzied, climate hysteria engendered, end-of-days rush to save the earth from ourselves is finding its movement crashing under the weight of its own failures – both in promised results from imposed radical actions and predicted, repeatedly rescheduled (as they are yet-to-materialize) dooms. When the stated reason for extreme measures and mandates which have changed people’s lives exponentially for the worse fails to materialize, and then the end date shifts even as the misery index continually ramps up with no relief, a breaking point will be inevitable.
“Genug” is German for “enough.” And, with not a minute to spare, the zealots are going to have to give way. Perhaps even start answering for what they’ve done.
Once unthinkable articles are appearing in major media outlets, and they highlight just how deep the insanity has wormed it way into the consciousness of a good swath of impressionable…well…lemming-like idiots. High anxiety reigns among the meek-minded.
Even a flatworm is smart enough to turn away from pain.
BUT DID YOU LIKE IT? Book Review: “Quantum Supremacy” by Michio Kaku (tl;dr DO NOT BUY). “In the spirit, perhaps, of the TikTokkers who eat live cockroaches or whatever to satisfy their viewers, I decided to oblige loyal Shtetl-Optimized fans by buying Quantum Supremacy and reading it. So I can now state with confidence: beating out a crowded field, this is the worst book about quantum computing, for some definition of the word ‘about,’ that I’ve ever encountered.”
