From Clue:
Miss Scarlet : I hardly think it will enhance your reputation at the U.N. Professor Plum, if it’s revealed that you have been implicated not only in adultery with one of your patients, but in her death and the deaths of five other people.
Professor Plum : You don’t know what kind of people they have at the U.N., I might go up in their estimation.
SOMETHING HE MISSES: CHINA IS MORE THAN FATALLY WOUNDED ALREADY: Special: Red Sea Crisis.

OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.
THE NEW SPACE RACE: Japan’s SLIM achieved pinpoint moon landing with just one working engine. The mission didn’t fully succeed, but for a first effort it was actually pretty impressive. No doubt they’ll learn from their mistakes.
HMM: Weight Loss Drugs Like Ozempic Could Have a Surprising Effect on Drinking Habits. Not sure about the methodology here, which is clever but questionable.
IT’S A BIG BOOST TO PUTIN: In Pathetic POTATUS Pander, WH Pulls LNG Football Just Before Winning Kick. “This neat little maneuver has boned both our own fossil fuel industry and our European allies – a twofer.”
Remember when they told us that Trump would alienate our allies with self-centered, bullying diplomacy?

We may be having the greatest Constitutional crisis in 160 years, as 26 states face off against the Feds – but there is an effective news blackout, outside of X. Why?
1. Confirmation this is a factional dispute.
2. Confirmation the "media" is pure propaganda, not news.— Labrador Skeptic (@SaysSimulation) January 26, 2024
A friend comments about the above: “Here is an interesting thread that posits there is no media narrative (or media) around these events in part because relevant elites aren’t on the same page. So there aren’t orders to take. This is on top of the normal explanation that this is bad for Biden’s election and it’s bad for the regime generally to magnify state powers and sovereignty. It would be interesting if the GOP Govs can make another move that 1) doesn’t remove Biden’s requirement to make a decision about the border, but which 2) places a new complication or wrinkle right before the regime is able to hit its border decision point.”
And another observes: “The Biden White House is not sure what to do. They correctly perceive themselves as having few clean options, and choosing one will mean adjudication of disputes among irreconcilable factions within their coalition: the identity radicals, the open-borders ideologues, the big-city mayors, and/or the actual general-election voters they require. Tough calls. Very analogous to their dilemma with Israel: when you have no real core principles, coalition management can paralyze if you’re bad at it. I think they’ll thread the needle with selective prosecutions.”
That does seem to be their go-to.
SKYNET SMILES: Scientists Develop Artificial Muscle Device That Produces Force 34 Times Its Weight. “Artificial muscles imitate human muscles and provide flexible and natural movements compared to traditional motors.”
MAYBE IT’S ALL THE LYING? JUST SPITBALLING HERE. Why 21st-century Science is failing the public’s trust. Answer: self-inflicted wounds. The problems are fixable, but public trust will continue to erode until science cleans up its act. Let’s discuss.

HMM: CDC: More American women dying after Dominican Republic cosmetic surgery. “Traveling to other countries for cosmetic surgery is increasingly common due to the lower costs and shorter wait times.”

BREAKING: Jury Awards E. Jean Carroll $83.3 Million in Second Defamation Case Against Donald Trump.
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): Stephanie Gutmann: Is the 25-year-old rape charge a new pension system for women of a certain age?
I think that allowing defamation suits for claims of innocence is a due process violation. But speaking of due process, nobody imagines that Donald Trump can get a fair trial in Manhattan, any more than the Scottosboro Boys could in Alabama.
OH, IT’S JUST A BUNCH OF CONSPIRACY NUTS, IGNORE THEM: The Daily Caller put it best when :
“You don’t even need to look to the word ‘stolen’ — the election was rigged,” says just one of the many election watchers the Daily Caller interviewed who all came to the same conclusion.”
This trailer is for the sharpest, calmest, and most intelligent discussion about the 2020 election I’ve seen. Click on the image below to see the trailer.
Look, was there enough monkey business that provably swayed the election? I don’t know. But for a handful of invest elitists to encourage scoffing at even the most clinical look at the issue is the exact opposite of their alleged goal of “saving democracy.”
Election fraud is as old as the hills. Read Robert Caro’s outstanding trilogy about LBJ where he details many instances of mysterious boxes of ballots arriving at polling stations with just enough votes to get him into Congress.
My own grandmother was an alderman in Chicago during the Richard Daley years, and she’d laugh when regaling us with stories of police cars arriving with sacks of paper ballots that were dumped on her kitchen table. The cops would sit in the living room served coffee and babka while in the kitchen “Nanny” and her pals would make disqualifying marks on the ballots opposing whomever Daley wanted. Sadly, Mike Royko is not around to confirm this.
*DISCLOSURE: As a First Amendment lawyer, I did the pre-publication review of the full “Rigged” documentary for The Daily Caller. I can’t divulge any details, of course, but I can say it passed my heinously stringent standards with flying colors.

SWATTING IS A TECH PROBLEM THAT COULD BE SOLVED IF PEOPLE CARED. MAYBE WITH STUFF LIKE THIS THEY’LL START TO CARE. Election cybersecurity director was a victim of a ‘swatting’ attack in her home.
I notice that the press seems to care more now that it’s Democrats getting hit with this.
