OPEN THREAD: Living hard will take its toll.
TRUMP HAS SLIGHT EDGE ON BIDEN IN SWING STATE OF MICHIGAN, POST-VERDICT POLL SHOWS.
Former President Donald Trump is ahead of President Biden in Michigan by the narrowest of margins, a 2024 election poll released Tuesday showed.
Trump holds a 0.6 point lead over Biden, with the presumptive Republican nominee garnering 48.2% support to the incumbent’s 47.6% backing in a head-to-head matchup, according to the Mitchell-Michigan News Source Poll.
The 77-year-old former president’s advantage increased slightly – to 1.2 percentage points – when third-party candidates were included in the survey.
Insert the obligatory reminder to eschew all forms of cockiness here, but if true, this is astonishing, since so much of the administration’s anti-Zionism (read: anti-Semitism) is driven by attempting to prop up Biden in Michigan.

That’s despite the astronauts on board the station observing the fish ‘showing directional behavior anomalies, such as inverted swimming and rotary movement.'”

As Christian Toto notes: The Acolyte – Woke, Wobbly and Steeped in Feminism. “It’s all an imitation, an attempt to recreate a fabled universe and the passion it once stoked.”
ACE: Axios (Politico for Kidz): Propaganda Media Now Scrambling for Survival.
[T]he Washington Post is taking all of its SJW/activist basketcases and labeling them “service and social media journalism” (the “service” being “servicing leftwing activism”) and attempting to wall that off into an Animal House asylum.
The (giggle) reporters are complaining about trifling bullshit, like that they’re finding out about this by email on a Sunday night. “That’s not how a well-functioning newsroom operates,” one sniffs. Well, a well-functioning newsroom also doesn’t lose half of its readership in three years due to extreme and unembarrassed leftwing hackery.
Whenever bad employees are fired, they start complaining about how the firing was done. When Gail Simone — a leftwing hack who got a job at DC comics by ginning up a feminist outrage mob against them– blew off her editor for six months and refused to answer his many, many phone calls, he fired her by email.
She then activated her “army of cat-ladies” on Twitter and shrieked that she had been disrespected by being fired (by a man!) over email.
Well, asshole, you refused to answer any of his phone calls. How was he supposed to get the word to you?
So now we have unqualified SJWs #Triggered that there are going to be changes — and firings, of course — due to them losing the company $77 million in one year alone, and of course they are attempting to change the subject to the form of communication used.
BTW, the Post’s management explained the reason for the Sunday night email — media companies were getting ready to run their own scoop on the changes, and they were forced to send out a quickie email so that the employees wouldn’t hear about it from other “news” outlets.
If they hadn’t rushed out this quickie email, the SJWs would be complaining, “A well-functioning news room does not allow its employees to be blindsided by news about their own workplace from a competitor!”
This is a very low and callow mode of argumentation. People who are unacquainted with the concepts of accepting criticism and attempting to do better always immediately claim that the criticism is being offered out of bad faith and in an inappropriate form. They do this to change the subject from their failings to your failings in noting their failings.
The CEO said “it’s not great” that the new leadership is white and “penisy,” as Megyn Kelly mocked them, but vowed he’d do better in the future.
Once he gets done firing the DEI hires.
No, just kidding, they won’t do that. Anything but that.
….Later in the meeting, another reporter asked Lewis whether “any women or people of color were interviewed and seriously considered for either of these positions,” a question that prompted applause. Lewis said there will be “significant opportunities” within the new organizational structure. Asked by another staffer about which people he met with, Lewis said, “It was an iterative, messy process, which I don’t want to go into the details of.”
At one point Lewis was asked whether he was intentionally bringing in people who come from a different culture than the Post.
Players on a team with a three-year losing record demand to know if the newly hired coaches come from a “different culture” than the last batch of losers.
Read the whole thing.

WELL, THANKS, GUYS: The New York Times Provides a Handy Tool to Help Decide if You Should Own a Gun for Self-Defense.
The authors didn’t seriously address the detrimental effects of yanking thousands of police off the beat, reducing patrols, releasing criminals without bail or failing to prosecute criminals, only to have them repeat or commit more serious crimes. For the authors, law-abiding gun owners are the problem. The readers just needed to trust their narrative.
But the authors never proved their premise. They couldn’t show a definitive link between law-abiding gun owners and criminal activity – much less murders…because there isn’t one. There is no causation — or even correlation — between law-abiding gun ownership and shocking crime rates in urban communities across America. . . .
There is, though, a causation and correlation that goes in the opposite direction. As crime runs unabated, more Americans increasingly choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms. They refuse to be willing victims, even when “progressive” policies force police departments to issue warnings to the public to just be nice to the criminal who’s threatening your life.
Background checks for firearm sales at retail skyrocketed in 2020 to over 21.5 million. They rose from 13.2 million in 2019. The kick-off of the buying frenzy started in March of 2020, the same month that pandemic lockdowns were ordered and police began pulling back community contact for concerns over the contagion.
It was also during that time that jails were emptied. That summer, violent protests erupted across America. Those weren’t confined to one city, one state or even one region. It was a nationwide phenomenon. Despite media pitching the riots as “mostly peaceful,” they were highly destructive. Politicians blamed the police and slashed their budgets. It was all made worse by rogue prosecutors who refuse to hold criminals to account. . . .
The good news is The New York Times has provided a helpful interactive tool for law-abiding citizens to decide if now’s the time to invest in personal defense. Plugging in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C., shows that there were at least 794 fatal shootings from 2020-2023. It’s a good thing President Joe Biden has Secret Service protection.
For those who don’t have 24-hour top-notch trained security at their disposal, this could be a practical tool to decide if it’s time to invest in a self-defense firearm. After all, in Washington, D.C., the city’s District Attorney General Brian Schwalb said, “We as a city and a community need to be much more focused on prevention…if we want to be safer in the long run. We cannot prosecute and arrest our way out of it.”
For those who might live in locations that see far less violent crime and murders, places like Bangs, Texas, where there were no fatal shootings between 2020-2023, it could still be helpful. Chances are, though, most residents in Bangs likely already live in the home of a law-abiding gun owner.
Likely.
I BELIEVE REPORTING THIS IS “JURY DENIAL,” WHICH IS THE LATEST FORM OF BADTHINK: Fraud trial juror reports getting bag of $120,000 and promise of more if she’ll acquit. “These seven are the first of 70 defendants expected to go to trial in a conspiracy that cost taxpayers $250 million. Eighteen others have pleaded guilty, and authorities said they recovered about $50 million in one of the nation’s largest pandemic-related fraud cases. Prosecutors say just a fraction of the money went to feed low-income kids, while the rest was spent on luxury cars, jewelry, travel and property.”
