MASS PLAYS A ROLE, THOUGH: Heavier Vehicles Actually DON’T Always Protect You More in a Crash.
GOOD ADVICE: Check It Out: Put your defensive firearm to the test before relying on it to save a life.
I test mine regularly by practicing with it.
THAT’S BECAUSE THE MEDIA WORLD IS MADE UP OF GARBAGE PEOPLE, WHO APPARENTLY ARE ALSO TAX-DOLLAR PARASITES.

WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: A spine-zapping implant helped 3 people with a muscle-wasting disease walk better.
MY MIGRAINES DISAPPEARED FOR THE MOST PART WHEN I STARTED TAKING COENZYME Q10: The link between headache disorders and suicide—a 25-year Danish cohort study.
GOOD NEWS: Boeing Prepares for SLS Cancellation in March.
Some are arguing for the cancellation after the Artemis 2 and Artemis 3 flight. However, there are months of fixes needed for the human rated Orion. The heat shield is not safe. Rushing to get off two more flights will likely cost over $20 billion. It is not just two flights but working to fix and still run the program for about four more years. Costs and delays will continue to increase trying to fix the problems. The current contracts are cost plus contracts. Boeing and the other companies would run more costs through the cost plus program.
I have been calling for the cancellation of Space Launch System for about a decade.
Now we are in a series of government wide cuts which could eliminate a trillion dollars per year of waste and perhaps another trillion of inefficiency. There is no way we get to those cuts and a balanced budget trying to carry on ineffective corporate charity and theft by Boeing.
It’s time.
AS A KID, I HAD UNDIAGNOSED MIGRAINES FOR YEARS: Emergency room doctors sometimes don’t spot migraines in minority children.
JUDICIAL #RESISTANCE.
The judicial resistance has begun. The Trump administration will ultimately win most of these legal battles—they’re lawyered up well this time—but the establishment won’t give up without a fight. https://t.co/CwNfwkStR0

It’s not like the establishment is going to respect election results, or the Constitution, if either one threatens its feedlot.
BUSINESS AS USUAL IN L.A.
He’s getting paid $500,000 for 3 months of work? And they call this a charity.
Gross. Offensive.
I’m getting paid $0 – as are many people.
It’s a good thing there will be strings on the Federal money for California. https://t.co/ZWabYTxOxg

OVERHEAD RATES HAVE BEEN A SCANDAL FOR YEARS. AND NEGOTIATING RATES INSTITUTION BY INSTITUTION IS A RECIPE FOR CRONYISM, AND REMOVES INCENTIVES FOR EFFICIENCY.
The freakout over this is something to behold. To be clear, this revolt is in response to administrative bloat being held at 15% of overall grants.
Charities are routinely held to overhead costs well below this or else their donations suffer. https://t.co/9JG6vDAzFz

ANALYSIS: TRUE.
DOGE has forced democrats into the position of defending waste, fraud and abuse.
Idk if that was ever the intention, but democrats have fallen into this trap. And the more info comes out, the worse they will look. They will end up like the proverbial deer in headlights.

ACTUALLY, SOME OF US ARE EXPRESSING SUPPORT: As Trump’s DEI Crackdown Escalates, Law Faculty Choose Between Silence And Resistance. And a lot of the silent ones are fine with it but are afraid to say. DEI has been made unchallengeable in the academy by bullying and enforced conformity, not persuasion.
THE SCIENCE WAS SETTLED: Everything You Thought You Knew About Tetanus is Wrong. It’s not really news, though, that rust isn’t what causes tetanus.

OPEN THREAD: Ain’t no party like an open thread party.
THE NEW SPACE RACE: GOP senators back Trump’s space-based ‘Iron Dome’ plan with $19.5B bill.
CHANGE:
🚨BREAKING: Kristi Noem announces that FEMA has addressed 80% of the cases in Western North Carolina within just five days.
Real leadership.

ANALYSIS: TRUE.
I don't know how to overstate this… but
Trump HAS to succeed in completely hamstringing the government.
When Democrats take the white house again (and they eventually will) the gloves will be completely off. When Leftists are in power they don't play.
Trump has to DISMANTLE…

NO THANK YOU, I DON’T WANT FUNGI IN MY NOSE: Fungi Lurking in Your Nose Could Be Worsening Your Allergies.
I DON’T SEE THESE PEOPLE AS BEING ABLE TO HANDLE BEING GANGSTERED, SO THEY PROBABLY DON’T WANT TO START THAT UP:
