THAT DIDN’T TAKE LONG: Liberal Media Scream: MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough back to attacking Trump.
THEY DESERVE THE HUMILIATION: Biden Humiliates Aides and Media Allies With Hunter Pardon.
ANALYSIS: TRUE.
US intelligence services’ multi-decades curation of Biden family crimes requires major assessment of what programs and resources are compromised. This story is hardly ended with a pardon. https://t.co/xPGKioOn0R

ICYMI: THEY LIED. Report: Scientists at Center of ‘Lab Leak’ Concerns Misled Congress. “A sprawling final report by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic provokes questions over whether some in the scientific community – including EcoHealth Alliance, the American nonprofit that collaborated on novel coronavirus discovery and engineering research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and its president Peter Daszak – could face criminal charges stemming from the COVID-19 tragedy.”
Trump’s FBI and DOJ will be busy.

MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY IS UP: Welcome to the Party, Pal (cont’d): Nate Silver discovers a problem with our expert class.
OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.
PROFESSOR CARRINGTON, CALL YOUR OFFICE: ‘Cataclysmic’ solar storm hit Earth around 2687 years ago, ancient tree rings reveal: If this colossal solar storm hit our technologically advanced world the effects would have been devastating.
Solar storms and asteroid strikes are two major threats that we’ve only recently begun to take seriously. But I think we’re doing more to prepare for a dangerous asteroid than for solar storms.
WELL FOR ONE THING, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE TOILET: Protecting Your Muscle Mass Is Vital For Healthy Aging – Here’s Why.
MAKE THE RUBBLE BOUNCE:
BRUTAL: Brianna Keilar on CNN just made Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) watch a clip of himself insisting that Biden would never pardon Hunter. She then asked: "What does that feel like?"
They even kept him on-screen as the video played so we could watch his reaction. pic.twitter.com/uC6EM06Ikh

THE LONELY LIVES OF SCIENTISTS: Scientists Just Found 140 Reasons to Love Spider Venom.
BUT DID THEY HAVE A V8: What fossilized dino feces can tell us about their rise to dominance.
I LIKE DINOSAURS WITH V8S: The 2024 Lexus IS500 Is a Friggin’ Dinosaur, but One With a Glorious V-8.
THEY LIED. Report: Scientists at Center of ‘Lab Leak’ Concerns Misled Congress. “A sprawling final report by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic provokes questions over whether some in the scientific community – including EcoHealth Alliance, the American nonprofit that collaborated on novel coronavirus discovery and engineering research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and its president Peter Daszak – could face criminal charges stemming from the COVID-19 tragedy.”
Trump’s FBI and DOJ will be busy.
GUN CONTROL GROUPS ALWAYS PREDICT BLOOD IN THE STREETS WHEN GUN CONTROLS ARE REMOVED, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS: “Yet something funny happened after 2022. Instead of the proverbial ‘blood in the streets’ that was predicted, the national homicide rate dropped. This happened everywhere; in the antigun states forced to issue carry permits for the first time, in pro-gun states like Ohio and Florida which went further and adopted ‘constitutional carry’ (meaning no permit is required to carry a gun if you can legally own one), and even in individual cities like Philadelphia that began issuing permits more liberally as a result of the litigation.”
I HAD A COUPLE OF DANGEROUS HONEYS IN COLLEGE: Dangerous College Honey Sex Trend Alarms Health Experts. “In the FDA notice, it said lab analysis revealed that Royal Honey VIP packets contained tadalafil, which is an ingredient in an ‘FDA-approved prescription drug for erectile dysfunction.’ It apparently isn’t disclosed on any packaging or promotion of the supplement.”
I BELIEVE YOU MEAN, “HAS FAILED.” Nate Silver: The expert class is failing, and so is Biden’s presidency.
Welcome to the party, pal. Flashback: The Suicide of Expertise. I’d just add that Nate’s “Indigo Blob” exists in all Western nations, and it’s equally terrible — if not worse — elsewhere.
SUPPLY AND POPULAR DEMAND: Weight loss drugs Wegovy and Zepbound strain budgets amid skyrocketing copays.
THERE ARE 1,440 MINUTES IN A DAY, THAT’S 1.44 MINUTES PER MAN. A porn star will attempt to have sex with 1,000 men in one day — and it’s sparking health concerns from doctors.
TRUE, AND SENATORS NEED TO HEAR FROM CONSTITUENTS:
The four most important confirmations (Hegseth, Patel, Gabbard, RFK) are the four toughest confirmations and that’s because the GOP senate sees its job not as reformers of a corrupt system but as protecting The System from reform.
The GOP senate is the hidden enemy.

HMM: Study finds widespread use of unregulated molecular urine tests in older adults. “Although urine culture is the traditional test for UTI, multiplex panels produce faster results, are more analytically sensitive, and can simultaneously detect multiple pathogens and some antibiotic-resistance genes. While the Food and Drug Administration has approved multiplex molecular syndromic panels for bloodstream, respiratory, and other types of infections, it has not approved any such test for UTI diagnosis. However, the panels exist as laboratory-developed tests, and they can be used in labs certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988.”
AS IF CANADA WOULD TAKE THEM: Top NY Dem ridiculed for floating secession to Canada over Trump return: ‘Lead the way’. “On X, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley posted an image of CSA Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendering at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, at the end of the Civil War.”
Also a Democrat.
#JOURNALISM:
9 straight minutes of the people who destroyed trust in media heralding Joe Biden as one of history's greatest men of honor for saying he would not pardon Hunter Biden.
Beyond the extreme ignorance needed to have believed Biden, look how these people operate as a mindless herd: https://t.co/eGwBulE07U
