WHY THERE IS A RECRUITMENT CRISIS: ‘Whites ARE RESPONSIBLE for the current racial bias’–Woke Army instructor tries to push DEI on class.
Especially dumb for a Defense Department that is allegedly planning to go to war in 2027.
GOOD POINT:
As Biden attacks Israel to win antisemitic voters in Michigan, he seems to have forgotten: Israel did not start this war.
Hamas did.

OUCH: Kathy Hochul kicked out of NYPD officer’s wake: Report. “Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) was not a welcome sight at the wake for fallen NYPD officer Jonathan Diller. Hochul reportedly left Friday’s reception within 10 minutes after she was greeted by a shout of ‘Get her out of here.’ As she walked back to her car, Hochul was confronted by a man who sources said was speaking to her while gesturing with emotion.”

UPDATE:

THERE’S A REASON WHY A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS THINK OF THE FBI AS BIDEN’S GESTAPO, YOU KNOW: Woman Records Very Creepy Visit by the FBI.
IT WILL BE IF YOU VOTE FOR THEIR TICKET: It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap. “Inside the hall, the three presidents sat in matching white armchairs and took the stage to strains of ‘Born to Run’ by Bruce Springsteen, the unofficial bard of the Democratic Party. . . . Three Presidents were sitting in white armchairs before people who’d paid up to $500,000 apiece to sit in the audience in the most beautiful theater in the country. The comments over there are mostly about the fourth President. That guy, Mr. Trump, steals focus from everything. Also stealing attention were the protesters at the 3-Presidents event. They were shouting ‘blood on your hands’ Obama chided them: ‘You can’t just talk and not listen. That’s what the other side does.’ Seems to me protesters on Obama’s side have interrupted more speeches than those on the other side.”
Today’s Democratic Party machinery is getting the treatment from the Woke Left that it last got from the New Left in 1968. And as always, the talk of “blood on your hands” comes from the people with bloody-handed fantasies.

JOHN LUCAS: Putting Lipstick on the Pig: Biden is unpopular but so is everybody. It’s not his policies. Thus sayeth The New York Times. “Democrats and the media (please excuse the redundancy) are in a nationwide panic over President Biden’s plunging poll numbers. But The New York Times, like the rest of the ancien regime nobility is constitutionally incapable of discerning the reasons why more and more people, as well as demographic groups that Democrats thought were in the bag for them, are rejecting Biden and his policies.”
Just spitballing here, but maybe it’s because those policies suck, and are harming the non-graft parts of America.
LONGEVITY UPDATE: An Expert Unwraps Chocolate’s Surprising Health Benefits.
ORIGIN STORY: SUPERHERO, OR SUPERVILLAIN? Scientists Put Tardigrade Proteins Into Human Cells. Here’s What Happened.
“Amazingly, when we introduce these proteins into human cells, they gel and slow down metabolism, just like in tardigrades,” says molecular biologist Silvia Sanchez-Martinez, from the University of Wyoming.
“When you put human cells that have these proteins into biostasis, they become more resistant to stresses, conferring some of the tardigrades’ abilities to the human cells.” . . .
“When the stress is relieved, the tardigrade gels dissolve, and the human cells return to their normal metabolism,” says University of Wyoming molecular biologist Thomas Boothby.
What shall we call that character? “Tardiman?” That just sounds like someone who’s always late.
