WELL, THE WHOLE ARGUMENT IS THAT FLUORIDE DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD, RIGHT? RFK Jr. says there may be ‘more cavities’ under fluoride bans: ‘It’s a balance.’
And let me just point out that dentists were morons to push so hard for water fluoridation, when filling cavities was their core business.

PROMISES, PROMISES: In an about-face, Germany plans to build Europe’s biggest military.
The European buildup, merely by existing, creates an "army in being" that will stress the Putin government who will have to pay an insurance premium where there was none before.https://t.co/EJi4dOIgeG

ANSWERING THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS: Dolphins Got Giant Testicles. We Got a Chin. Only One Makes Sense.
They both make sense when you realize it’s all about sex. Dolphins mate a lot, and need a lot of sperm. Human chicks dig a manly chin, and are. more likely to mate with men who have them.

THE GERMANS: ALWAYS WRONG, NEVER IN DOUBT.
Objectively speaking every single major policy/collective choice by Germany in my adult life has been astonishingly stupid:
– Giving their manufacturing technology to China
– Destroying Eurozone growth
– The Energiewende
– Letting in millions of Middle Eastern migrants
– Allowing… https://t.co/bMmUwMXo5n— Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry (@pegobry_en) June 28, 2025

What a laugh. These jokers don’t have constitutional scruples about anything.

SHOOTING DOWN ANOTHER STUPID LEFTIST IDEA:
Grocery store profit margins are *tiny*—usually 1-2 percent. (Liquor stores, by contrast, have margins around 20-30%.) It would be very hard for a shop run by the state—which isn't known for efficiency—to keep prices low while maintaining quality & selection. Defeats the purpose.

Of course, the big appeal of government grocery stores is that you can get bribes from developers for locating them nearby, and you can punish political enemies by moving them farther away. Plus the day-to-day skimming, no-show jobs, etc. Naturally leftists want this. And of course there’s their traditional desire to control people’s access to food in general.

EVERYONE IN EVERY MILITARY BRANCH SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHOOT:
Most naval officers can’t shoot and would be useless if their ship was overrun in port, if they had to defend their family overseas, or fight their way back on base.
And yet, getting them usefully proficient would take a small fraction of the time they spend on useless HR… https://t.co/oxIMSzvIEb

One of my students who went off to JAG — we send a lot of people to JAG — said that at the abbreviated basic-training that they get someone said don’t worry too much about this, the lawyers aren’t likely to have to shoot. I told him yeah, but if the lawyers do have to shoot, things have gone to hell and you need to be good at it.
And honestly, every American should be able to shoot. It’s part of our culture.
UPDATE: Reader John Steakley writes: “My local gun club offers free range time to senior citizens and another day to women every week. It’s a luxurious gun club, welcoming and inviting to all. These sort of special accommodations are crucial to incorporating reluctant segments of the populace into gun ownership. If your local gun club isn’t doing this, encourage them to do so.”
