AN EARTH-SHATTERING KABOOM: Taurus 650 .357 Magnum Review: Budget-Friendly Power in a Concealed Package.
A LOT OF THINGS THEY TELL YOU AREN’T TRUE:
I was told 6 months ago that Americans losing jobs and the foreign-born gaining jobs was an irreversible demographic fact.
Turns out you just needed a new president and a new immigration policy. https://t.co/i6R4tLgusi

Conservatives should not forget that there has been virtually no blowback to defunding NPR. In the past, the Left would claim that Republicans wanted to execute Big Bird, and Republicans would dutifully back down. Not anymore. Simple principle: stop sending cash to your enemies.

WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: AI model uses glucose spikes to reveal hidden diabetes risk before symptoms appear.
HMM: Larger statin dosages urged for many with cholesterol, heart risks.
Color me unconvinced.
AI SEARCH RESULTS DESTROYING SEARCH TRAFFIC: “For media publishers whose business models rely on referral traffic to bring them advertising revenue, this shift feels nothing short of catastrophic. There’s no getting around the decline in traffic.”
That happened to this site over a decade ago. In 2004 I was the #1 Glenn on Google — if you typed in “Glenn,” you got InstaPundit. Then Google deranked every site on the right, including this one. So suck it up, everyone else, and welcome to my world.

ART OF THE DEAL: Brown University reaches agreement with Trump administration, funding to be restored.

The deals that Columbia and Brown made with the Trump Administration require the reinstatement of merit-based admission policies. Privately, many faculty (and some administrators) are delighted to have cover at last to ditch DEI practices they secretly detest.

MAKE THEM PAY. MAKE THEM ALL PAY.
A law school colleague recently told me he was explicitly told he was dropped from a project in his big firm because he was a white guy. Most of these places didn’t bother to hide the ball and a lot of it they even wrote down.

THE PRESSURE BUILDS ON THE ABA: Florida AG Blasts ‘Woke’ ABA And Pushes For New Law School Accreditor.
The ABA is a partisan, leftist organization that is not concerned with the welfare of the legal profession, the public, or the nation. It should have no role in setting standards.
THEY’RE TERRIFIED OF A PREFERENCE CASCADE, BUT THIS WILL MAKE IT WORSE SINCE IT MAKES IT OBVIOUS THEY’RE HIDING STUFF. AND THAT THEY’RE TERRIFIED.
The managerial elite lost control of the narrative and every government is coming to the same conclusion simultaneously because it’s their only hope https://t.co/CzNvFtTg0k

COVID CLEANUP AT THE EEOC: Two Las Vegas Strip Resort & Casinos Settle EEOC Religious Discrimination Charges. “Federal investigations found the Aria and the Luxor failed to provide religious accommodations for vaccine mandate policy.”
NO, AT MOST THAT’S WHAT’S CALLED AN “EXISTENCE PROOF” THAT SUCH IS EVEN POSSIBLE. Can One Honest Reporter Restore My Faith in Journalism?
NEXT TIME SHE MIGHT EVEN GET MORE DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES THAN TULSI GABBARD: Kamala Harris 2028! Failed candidate won’t run for governor of California, setting up historic presidential comeback.

HARVARD LAWPROF ADRIAN VERMUELE: The Case for Ignoring Judges Who Defy SCOTUS.

BUT COULD HE REALLY? AND WOULD HE HAVE? Mark Judge: How Bob Woodward Could Have Saved the ‘Washington Post’ from Russiagate Humiliation.
And the thing is, they’re not humiliated. As long as they carried water faithfully for the Democrats, they feel they’ve done their job. Sure it was utterly false, dangerously divisive, and wrecked public trust in institutions. But as far as they’re concerned the only thing that went wrong was that it didn’t work.
“WIDELY PANNED” BY MENTALLY ILL TIKTOK VLOGGERS:
Sad to say, but the WSJ newsroom started bending toward "27-year-olds who know literally nothing" quite a while ago.

But not as widely panned as the WSJ’s news operation these days.
FOLLOW THE SCIENCE! Marc Thiessen: Trump is using the ‘Laffer curve’ to find the tariff sweet spot.
BEGINNING TO THINK IT WAS A MISTAKE TO HAND OVER EDUCATION TO PEOPLE WHO REPRODUCE BY CORRUPTING YOUTH:
This creates a weird Cuckoo Bird dynamic in the West – where the only way for leftists to keep existing is to invite new population or convert the kids of rightists.
Smart leftists are not unaware of this. https://t.co/75qVV98adL
