ANALYSIS: TRUE.

Everybody knows that Joe Biden’s “Don’t” is just his opening bargaining position and that he’ll give it up at the slightest sign of resistance.

THE WORLD BANK WANTS THE ERA OF CHEAP FOOD TO BE OVER. Of course it does.

Remember, making ordinary people’s lives worse isn’t an unfortunate side effect of their policies. It’s the goal.

DISPATCHES FROM THE “IT’S DIFFERENT WHEN WE DO IT PARTY:”

BEEGE WELLBORN: I Don’t Want to Hear Noem-Or ‘VP’ Talk About These Two, M’kay?

Yeesh. Sometimes I think Republicans are just so desperate for a pretty face that doesn’t mean tweet, they’ll fall all over themselves elevating – and defending – the exact opposite of what they supposedly want. They get cleaned bowled over by a bad case of goo-goo eyes.

This business with the Dakota Darling Duo – Doug Burgum and Kristi Noem – being serious Vice Presidential contenders strikes me as one of those times if you check out the chatter in comment sections.

If some of you remember, I did a dive into Doug Burgum last fall after seeing the folksy, imminently approachable “regular farmer guy” no one had ever heard of during the first presidential candidate debate.

Like, who was he? I’d never heard of him.

God dang, people. All it took was about two seconds to find out he could easily be “Eat the Bugs” Burgum, judging by the close friends he runs with.

I will not eat the bugs.

THE CORBYNIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONTINUES APACE:

 

HMM: Biden’s National Guard Power Grab. “Calling it a ‘power grab,’ Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) has expressed his opposition to the Biden administration’s proposal to transfer members of the Air National Guard to the Space Force without the permission of state or territorial governors.”

WELL, YES: Ron Hart: Foolish College Antics Accelerate Downward Spiral Of Higher Education.

36,639 students attended Columbia in 2022, and 20,321 were foreign students in 2023. It crept up on the university. . . .

The “demonstrators” were given pamphlets on how to protest. If you know anything about 18- to 25-year-olds today, they couldn’t organize a one car funeral. They are lemmings, woke and entitled.

Lefties fell for Hamas. I thought the 9/11 attacks taught us all we needed to know about radical Islam.

Hamas members committed rape Oct. 7 when it invaded Israel. Yet the “MeToo” progressive women’s movements remain eerily quiet. Hamas is fortunate that it is not a Christmas song, Founding Father statue, syrup bottle or a male candidate for the Supreme Court.

It’s only rape if it’s done by a white frat guy.

OPEN THREAD: It’s that time again.

HEH. WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?

WARNING: THE PUBLIC-HEALTH ESTABLISHMENT IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH: Medscape Censors Science to Placate Activists. Medscape, which bills itself as “the leading online global destination for physicians and healthcare professionals worldwide,” posted medical-education programs on tobacco-harm reduction that included accurate information about nicotine vaping, the most promising tool yet developed for helping smokers quit. But then, despite an enthusiastic reception from the professionals who watched the programs, Medscape bowed to a campaign by anti-vaping zealots and removed the programs.

The result will be less-informed doctors and, presumably, more people smoking and dying. But to anti-vaping activists desperate to keep their jobs and funding, that smells like victory.
