MARTIN HACKWORTH: I’m Your Huckleberry. “Yo, you over there in the keffiyeh asking about Zionists on this bus. I’m actually a hillbilly from Appalachia, but for the moment, I self-identify as a Jew. Come on over and let’s have a chat.”

RED-PILLED: You Won’t Believe Who California Is ‘Too Woke’ for Now. “There is simply no denying celebrity fitness guru Jillian Michaels’s multi-culti credentials. If you were to ask a random selection of people to describe the typical Los Angeles married mom of two, 78% of them would say, ‘Gay half-Arab/half-Jew with a half-Latin son and a daughter adopted from the Congo, and married to a black woman.’ I mean, you’ve got to play the odds when taking these quizzes.”

MARK JUDGE: The Left Has Been Doing ‘Oppo Research’ on Conservative Justices for Years.

Over the last 18 months, the conservative justices on the Supreme Court have found themselves in the corporate media’s crosshairs. Justice Samuel Alito, in particular, has faced a coordinated attack from the left ever since he wrote the majority opinion that struck down Roe v. Wade.

Alito’s 2022 opinion was leaked to the media and published by Politico before the Court’s ruling striking down the nationwide abortion law. The justices’ addresses and personal information was shared online afterward and they needed increased security after threats from outraged abortion activists.

The attacks haven’t slowed in the two years since, though they have gotten sillier.

Substance doesn’t matter, just unrelenting attacks to fool the gullible. And it works.

THE WOKE REVOLUTION MEETS ITS MATCH: First Time Ever? 90 Actresses Turn Down Roles in Play Attacking J.K. Rowling. “The play, originally called TERF C**t portrays a fictional intervention of the Harry Potter actors staging an ‘intervention’ to get Rowling to recant her gender-critical views. No actresses want to touch the roles with a 10-foot pole, perhaps because they agree with Rowling, or perhaps because they are afraid that their participation in the play won’t age well as views on gender issues shift rightward.”

Or maybe they think she’s right. Or maybe the play’s just crap.

TRUMP ON SHARKS AND BATTERIES: No, I think people who like Trump feel as though they’re listening to a stand-up comic. A highly gifted one, not a normal one. It’s not “par for the course.” It’s a birdie. An eagle.

RAND SIMBERG REVIEWS Bob Zubrin’s new book, The New World on Mars: What We Can Create on the Red Planet. Quoth Rand: “No one in history has more popularized the idea of Mars being a suitable place for the expansion of humanity than Robert Zubrin. A nuclear and aerospace engineer and founder and president of the Mars Society [and a contributing editor of this journal –Ed.], Zubrin first proposed his plans for getting to the planet and settling there at the 1990 International Space Development Conference, which I attended. He called the plan ‘Mars Direct,’ to distinguish it from NASA’s more convoluted and less economical plan. His 1996 book based on the concept, The Case For Mars, has become a classic in the literature on the exploration and development of space.”

I was there too, and it was the most exciting talk I’ve ever heard. But here’s what’s changed since then: “In the last decade, the SpaceX Falcon family, and particularly the Falcon Heavy launch vehicle, have already reduced the price of getting a pound of mass to orbit to below a thousand dollars, largely by reusing the first stages. Some of those stages are now approaching twenty reuses. Zubrin makes the plausible case that, at the levels of activity desired by Musk, with full reusability of hardware, the price to orbit could come down to some fifty dollars per pound.”

OPEN THREAD: San Francisco show and tell.

MASKED MARCHES HAVE BEEN ILLEGAL IN VIRGINIA SINCE THE KLAN WAS BANNED, AND YET GMU ALLOWED HAMAS SUPPORTERS TO MARCH MASKED: NY needs to outlaw masking at protests NOW before more antisemitic goons run wild. Laws are only as good as the people enforcing them, who by all evidence aren’t worth a rancid turd in NYC.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Armenia signs Artemis Accords.

HMM: Suspected NYC jihadist was caught near major airport as new details of averted ‘disaster’ are revealed.

The “arsenal of weapons” isn’t super impressive. You could find more and better in any random pickup truck in my area. Again, it boils down to how I don’t trust the DOJ, etc., anymore. OTOH, this arrest was apparently based on a random observation by NYC cops, not an elaborate “sting” involving more informants than offenders, so . . .

Flashback thoughts here.

IS THAT GOOD OR BAD? Dietary Supplement Found to Reduce Aggression by Up to 28%. I’d say the problem with our society isn’t insufficient aggression as such, but improperly directed aggression.

HILL AIDES BACK FILIBUSTER: Surprisingly strong support seen among congressional aides for, of all things, preservation of the Senate filibuster in informal survey by CNCT Capitol Pulse.

TRUE. No, really, you don’t hate journalists enough. “Again, one has to wonder how Bump and Taylor Lorenz survived the mass layoffs that took place over the last year or so at the Post. Some good journalists found themselves out of a job, while the Post stuck with these two clowns. That’s all you need to know about the credibility of the Post, and the Protection Racket Media in general.”

WELL, HE KNEW HE COULD COUNT ON HELP FROM THE MEDIA: Arizona man wanted to start ‘race war’ with mass shooting at Atlanta concert.

On the other hand, I don’t really trust the DOJ or FBI anymore. And a false-flag attack before the election, purporting to implicate white supremacists or the KKK? That sounds more like something they’d let happen . . .

WEIRD TO SEE THIS IN A MAINSTREAM OUTLET: Challenging Modern Climate Narratives: Forgotten 1937 Aerial Photos Expose Antarctic Anomaly. “A study using a whaler’s forgotten aerial photos from 1937 shows East Antarctica’s ice has been stable and even grown, despite some early signs of weakening. . . . Using hundreds of old aerial photographs dating back to 1937, combined with modern computer technology, researchers have tracked the evolution of glaciers in East Antarctica. This area, which spans approximately 2,000 kilometers of coastline, contains as much ice as the entire Greenland Ice Sheet. By comparing the historical aerial photos with modern satellite data, researchers determined the glaciers’ movement and changes in size, revealing that the ice has not only remained stable but also grown slightly over the last 85 years, partly due to increased snowfall. . . . Compared to modern data, the ice flow speeds are unchanged. While some glaciers have thinned over shorter intermediate periods of 10-20 years, they have remained stable or grown slightly in the long term, indicating a system in balance.”

WELL THEN SIGN ME UP: Men eat more meat than women; gap widens in countries with gender equality.

Alternate take: In order to save men from eating meat, we must increase gender inequality. As the gun control people say, if it saves just one life, it’s worth it.

HMM: Exercise in the evening may be best to control blood sugar.
