COLOR ME UNSURPRISED: Obesity more likely among children of obese mothers, study says.

I KEEP POINTING THIS OUT: Trump isn’t seizing power, he’s just using power that leftists thought was reserved to them:

President Donald Trump is using every tool he has to challenge woke practices in America — and he has a lot of them.

Notably, none of the mechanisms that the president is using were put in place by conservatives for leverage against progressive institutions.

No, Trump is simply availing himself of the vast federal apparatus created by liberals on the assumption that an ever-more powerful and extensive federal government was synonymous with righteousness.

Now that someone is in charge who doesn’t agree with them and who is willing to use all the influence that the progressive state affords him, they are vulnerable to the centralized power that they’ve eagerly built up over decades.

Expanding the federal government has been a progressive priority since the time of Woodrow Wilson, and now its tentacles — via federal funding and a skein of rules — reach into practically every corner of American life.

Yep. And nearly everything he does — nearly every “presidential power” a president can exercise — is actually power that Congress has delegated to the president.

CHANGE: U. Washington affirms commitment to ending antisemitism after Trump warning.

TOO MUCH: Colorado State University paid Women’s March organizer Linda Sarsour $7,000 for speaking engagement.

NOT GONNA HAPPEN, THE DECAY IS TOO FAR ADVANCED:

These numbers means Europe must spend 3-4% of GDP as they build up to required strength. There are no smoke and mirrors solutions but Macron and Starmer can't bring themselves to face the Green-Left who want to import the Third World and go Zero Carbon.

KAROL MARKOWICZ: Don’t let the leftists memory-hole their madness.

Did the last five years, call it “the age of woke,” really happen — or were they just a fever dream?

Apparently we all imagined a time where COVID and cancel culture collided to oppress us.

No one was shunned for saying really obvious and true things, schools weren’t closed indefinitely under pressure from teachers’ unions, and race conflict wasn’t pushed on Americans from every direction.

At least that’s what the left would have us believe.

On Wednesday when National Public Radio CEO Katherine Maher testified in a congressional hearing, she stumbled on some basic questions . . . involving her own opinions.

Yes, they’re trying to pretend the last 5 years never happened. Make them own it.

LIBRARIES RUN BY “MILITANTLY POLITICAL” LIBRARIANS AREN’T WORTH HAVING: America’s Librarians Became Militantly Political, And Now They Suffer The Consequences. “In contrast to the caricature of snobbish museum curators, librarians have been freeriding on a mostly positive cultural stereotype of old biddies who yell at kids to keep quiet but somehow also know how to help you find obscure information on local zoning laws if it comes to that. The reality is that sometime in the last few decades the vocation of local librarian acquired a uniquely left-wing nimbus. It’s hard to say whether there was an organized takeover of the profession or it organically attracted a new generation that saw their primary vocational responsibility as agents of radical and unwelcome social change. Regardless, they’ve become a threat to future generations and are making us dumber.”

YEP. RUB THEIR NOSES IN IT.

The lesson from this non-scandal is the impotence of Democrats and their regime media allies when we refuse to care what they think. https://t.co/Kk5vF1P6XM
