ALL THE BEST PEOPLE TOLD ME WE WERE DOOMED:
Just so you know …
The S&P500 had the best May since 1990.
Panicans hardest hit.

ENEMIES: A LOVE STORY. Democrats and Men. “One might think that $20 million would buy something more insightful than this, but then, this is the same party that triumphantly chose Tim Walz as its vice-presidential nominee, fully expecting him to be the answer to their gender gap problem. Or in other words, don’t hold your breath. In reality, the odds that the contemporary Democratic party will be able to win back men, now or in the foreseeable future, are vanishingly small. The party, as it is currently constituted, lacks both the will and the ability to make the changes that would be necessary to do so. What I mean by this is that the contemporary Democratic party is built on a handful of foundational notions that are, by and large, incompatible with the goal of appealing to men.”
When your platform is built by and for batshit crazy upper middle class white women, men are going to look elsewhere.
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Graduation Speaker Returns Honorary Degree After Plagiarizing Speech At Elite Women’s College. I’m shocked, shocked that a “musician and activist” would have such low intellectual standards.

OPEN THREAD: Be here now.
THE NEW SPACE RACE: Elon Musk says SpaceX will launch its biggest Starship yet this year, but Mars in 2026 is ’50/50.’
I’d like to see it, but that’s a very aggressive timeline.
FLASHBACK: The Return of Patriarchy. “Across the globe, people are choosing to have fewer children or none at all. Governments are desperate to halt the trend, but their influence seems to stop at the bedroom door. Are some societies destined to become extinct? Hardly. It’s more likely that conservatives will inherit the Earth. Like it or not, a growing proportion of the next generation will be born into families who believe that father knows best.”

JOSH BLACKMAN: The Coming Judicial Nomination Wars On The Right. “Perhaps during a prior time, Whelan’s post would have been enough to stop the nomination. But here, Whelan’s post seems not to have had any effect on Trump’s decision making. Indeed, senior officials in DOJ rejected Whelan’s argument.”
The behavior of the judiciary in the first few months of Trump’s second term hasn’t boosted the position of the GOP legal establishment.
NAZIS ARE EVERYWHERE:
Cory Booker did the thing.
This is literally the Third Reich all over again.
These are the darkest days ever.
Democracy is doomed.

BUT OF COURSE:
I like to play this game. Every time an Indian origin kid in the West signals their progressive virtue in woke-speak — from 'yoga is cultural appropriation' to anti-colonialism takes — I google their last name for caste origins. 10 times out of 10 it is South Indian Brahmin.… https://t.co/DDntpmGaLi

IT’S AS ACCURATE AS BEAUCHAMP’S REPORT OF A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE WEST BANK AND GAZA:
"If this is accurate"
But it's not accurate. Its based of a model and that model is intentionally flawed in order to be as extreme and hyperbolic as possiblehttps://t.co/qWfDJUbloV

Beauchamp is proof that you can have a career as a lefty “journalist”: while reporting the most outrageously obvious bullshit.
#JOURNALISM:
Every single time there’s a backstory that makes the regime media report a total lie.

HAHA. BUT SMARMY WORDS ARE FREE AND THAT’S ALL THEY HAVE TO OFFER.
How about if France provides a guarantee of "disarmament of terrorist organizations" by paying Israel $100 million every time an Israeli is killed by terrorists from the "demilitarized state?" If the terrorist groups are really disarmed and the state demilitarized, France should… https://t.co/o3I7Kz79Si
