THE MISSING MEN: “I realized that there is something like a touch of the tragic about many of the lives of the young men on my street in a small town in southwestern Ohio. It’s a homey town in a fast-developing and affluent county, not far from Cincinnati, with a good school district, close to opportunity in many ways. But there’s something quietly amiss, something about the men. I think of them as good men—often sensitive, often kind. But it’s like the train left and they are still here waiting.”
I THINK THEY’RE DRAWING FROM A POISONED POOL: Columbia’s new prez called Congress hearings on antisemitism ‘Capitol Hill nonsense.’
Also a shallow pool: “Claire Shipman, a former CNN White House correspondent married to former Obama Administration press secretary Jay Carney, served as co-chair of the University’s board of trustees before she was appointed Friday night to replace interim school president Katrina Armstrong.”

This was the Knox County convention, and former state rep. Martin Daniel was elected county chair. I think that is an excellent choice, and that he’s got the right ideas.
AFFLUENT WHITE FEMALE LIBERALS ARE AWFL: Woman whose MAGA hat meltdown, subway wipeout went viral is an ‘extremely liberal’ luxury-brand specialist. “Testanero has gone off the deep end when it comes to politics, a former colleague claimed. ‘She and I stopped being friends a while ago, as she became extremely liberal and very agitated,’ the one-time coworker told The Post.”
Mentally disturbed women who think they can do anything with impunity are a problem.
WELL, THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CALLED UNHAPPY PARENTS DOMESTIC TERRORISTS: UK Police Arrest Parents, Jail Them For Criticizing School Policies.
THOSE POOR RESEARCHERS, DOWN THERE FOR SO LONG: After 7,000 years without light and oxygen in Baltic Sea mud, researchers bring prehistoric algae back to life.

HMM: Heart problems tied to brain shrinkage in new study. “Heart disease might contribute to the sort of brain shrinkage seen in dementia, a new study says. People with early signs of heart problems are more likely to have brain changes associated with dementia, researchers reported Wednesday in the journal Neurology.”
I’M IN THE WRONG BUSINESS. I COULD HAVE GOTTEN RICH JUST SENDING RANDOM INVOICES TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

UPDATE: (Charlie) They fired him.
HIGHER EDUCATION UPDATE: Ex-chancellor fired for making porn sues university for reinstatement.
IT’S NOT NEGLECT, IT’S HATE:
Josh Stein and Roy Cooper, the two liberal governors through this tragedy, did not help Western North Carolina. Remember that. https://t.co/ouMogc7Y8L

CHANGE: RFK Jr. Unveils Plan to Transform HHS into MAHA Powerhouse: ‘We’re Going to Do More With Less.’
To demonstrate how dysfunctional the department was when he took charge, he revealed that it’s organizational (Org) chart was incomprehensible.”
“There was no chain of command,” he explained, adding that “territorial” and “self-serving” employees were operating in “all these different silos and fiefdoms.”
According to Kennedy, within these silos, officials were “selling patient information to each other.” He told Cuomo that when he tried to obtain Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) depersonalized patient data—which belongs to HHS—”the sub-agency said we have to buy it from them!”
“It doesn’t make any sense. There were sub agencies that wouldn’t give us patient data,” he complained.
Kennedy told Cuomo that HHS has 100 communications departments, 40 procurement departments and “dozens” of IT and human resources units.
“None of them talk to each other,” Kennedy said. “And what we’re trying to do now is to streamline the agency, to eliminate the redundancies and to focus the mission so that everybody at HHS is going to wake up every morning and say, ‘What am I going to do today to make America healthy again?’”
To alleviate fears being drummed up by Democrats and their allies in legacy media, he stressed that they are not going to cut services.
Faster, please.
I GUESS IT’S TIME TO GO A-PRIVATEERING, THEN! Russia’s Shadow Fleet: A Masterclass in Sanctions Evasion. “In the wake of Western sanctions surrounding the Ukraine war, Russia developed a network of clandestine oil tankers to ensure the continuity of its energy exports – the so-called ‘shadow fleet.'”
#CHANGE:
You mean it was that easy to close the border? Is it possible that all Europe can scrape up is a "reassurance force". This isn't the world I though I was in.
It's like discovering that the family money was long gone and your rich relatives had drawers full of discount coupons.

FLASHBACK: “Government, we are sometimes told, is just another word for things we choose to do together. Like a lot of things politicians say, this sounds good. And, also like a lot of things politicians say, it isn’t the least bit true.”
