#RESISTANCE:

SHOCKER — BIG LIPS ARE A COMPETITION AMONG WOMEN: Surprising finding emerges from psychology study on lip size and attractiveness. “The preference for plumper lips on female faces was driven almost entirely by the female participants. Women in the study gave their highest ratings to female faces with enhanced lips. Male participants, when rating female faces, did not show a preference for plumper lips; their peak attractiveness ratings were for the female faces with their original, unaltered lip size.”

WELL, IT FITS: Politico: Trump Plans to Invoke the Insurrection Act If Portland Resists Nat’l Guard.

Text: “Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.”

Since this is a matter of presidential discretion — “whenever the President considers” — there’s no room here for judicial review, which makes sense because it’s a nonjusticiable political question.

HMM:

Nahh, there’s money involved, she’ll just brazen it out.

MARK JUDGE: The Laughable Hypocrisy of Joyce Vance. “If you’re a leftist, like Vance, the only way to fight against Trump and MAGA in the current political climate is to use cliches and appeal to abstractions. You can’t credibly argue that illegal immigration is not a problem, you can’t really argue that James Comey was a clean FBI leader, and you certainly can’t argue that Antifa is a peaceful group or that academia is not left-wing. So other tactics are required.”

YES:

IT’S WINNABLE, ESPECIALLY NOW. WHY ARE THEY HOLDING BACK?

PARTY OF HATE: Another Democrat Politician Talks Openly About Committing Violence. “One reason the Democrats aren’t appalled by all these calls to violence is that they are now so common among Democrats that they are a normal part of their discourse. Calling for violence is as Democrat as embracing MS-13 members, putting rapists in jail with women, and forcing teen girls to undress in front of boys and men who masturbate in front of them.”
