WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: AI helps fuel new era of medical self-testing.

CHANGE: Supreme Court takes case that could strip FCC of authority to issue fines. After SEC v. Jarkesy this should be easy.

Contrary to agencies’ positions over decades, “civil money penalties” or “monetary penalties” are just fines, and fines need a jury.

TO BE FAIR, THE WESTERN LEFT ROUTINELY LIES IN SERVICE TO THE WEST’S ENEMIES:

One of the most bizarre things about Hamas is that it states explicitly that it's an Islamist movement aiming to replace Israel with an Islamist state, and the Western left insists that it's just a "resistance" movement dedicated to the Palestinian cause fighting "occupation." pic.twitter.com/il5FJxhcsk

FLASHBACK:

Since Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies, it's time once again for my periodic reminder that all Democrats are fascists.

I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably…

100% TRUE:

When you see lunatics screaming at ICE or just acting insane about a far left cause, I want you to remember that they’re signing up to be election workers on Election Day. Does anyone really think they won’t cheat? If so, you’re an idiot. We must prioritize election integrity.

Democrats hate when law enforcement arrests immigrants for being here illegally

But they loved when law enforcement arrested ordinary Americans for not wearing masks

Let's be clear

Democrats do not hate law enforcement or authoritarianism

They hate ordinary Americans pic.twitter.com/IfrBZhAtS7

IF YOU AGREE WITH 1990s BILL CLINTON ON CRIME OR IMMIGRATION NOW, YOU ARE “FAR RIGHT.”

1995. Presidential Radio Address.

Clinton: It does not matter if they have committed crimes while here. They came here illegally. That's a crime. They have to go.

In 1995 the entire country agreed with this. It was common sense. Now Democrats call this fascism and hate speech. pic.twitter.com/1YetyEnpXQ

I THINK IT WAS HENRY KISSINGER WHO SAID AN IRANIAN MODERATE IS ONE WHO IS RELOADING:

CHANGE: VA goes from Biden backlog to Trump turbo with claims cleared and clinics opened: The VA has notoriously been a subject of ridicule for years among veteran and non-veteran communities alike.

THE NEW YORK TIMES THINKS PERFECTLY ORDINARY CUTOFF SHORTS ARE “HOT PANTS.”

They literally know nothing, as Ben Rhodes observed.

WOW:

Poland is on track to surpass Japan in real GDP per capita (PPP).

Life in Warsaw may soon feel richer than in Tokyo. A post-communist nation catching up with one of the world's richest, in just two generations.

I find it always incredible.

25 years ago, the US and Germany had similar labor productivity. Germany was a global industrial powerhouse.

ROGER KIMBALL: Anatomy of a Failed Moral Panic: The left tried to reboot George Floyd–style chaos after an ICE shooting, but video evidence, public dissent, and firm federal response exposed the narrative as hollow agitprop.
