GOOD, THAT KNOCKED ME OFF STATINS: A Painful Side Effect of Statins Explained After Decades of Mystery. “For millions of people, statins are a daily shield against heart disease. But around 10 percent of those who take statins to lower cholesterol experience a mysterious, painful side effect that causes many to discontinue these potentially life-saving medicines. Scientists have recently found one possible reason why. Research from Columbia University and the University of Rochester in the US revealed a potential culprit: a tiny calcium gate inside muscle cells that statins may force open. The resulting calcium leak can damage muscle tissue, offering a new explanation for at least some cases of statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS).”

BRITAIN’S GEORGE FLOYD MOMENT:
In America, when people rioted, burned things, looted, attacked police stations and courthouses because a crackhead career criminal had a heart attack while violently resisting arrest, our elites called it "social justice."
What will your elites call it, these expressions of… https://t.co/ryD9aZ0pKo

Apparently the police in Southampton are now being called on to answer. The people are dissatisfied with the reply.
What about you, Starmer? What answer do you have? https://t.co/kQIRerkYJ3

Told you. The entirety of British police plus the pols and the government that sent them. Fix yourself or the people will do it for you. It will involve personnel and policy changes. At all levels. https://t.co/0hzRhsKxlP

According to the New York Times, the biggest problem with the murder of Henry Nowak is that it's being "increasingly politicized."

They will kneel for a fentanyl-addicted American career criminal, but not for an innocent 18-year-old British boy.

We’re still here on the front lines of the Southampton protest. The police are still holding the line. It appears they are attempting to kettle protesters in, even as night falls.
But the patriots are still out here, angry over the loss of Henry Nowak. pic.twitter.com/vShxoaO4CU

MORE: Henry Nowak: PM Starmer speaks, cop quits. “Henry died on the street, while being read his rights as an accused criminal. No longer able to speak, the last words Nowak heard were ‘you have the right to remain silent.’ Back to the Prime Minister. Starmer piles on to the idea that the real problem with the Nowak case was not his brutal, unprovoked murder, or the callous indifference shown by the responding police to the dying Nowak. No, the real problem is the (small “c”) conservative reaction to these events.”

DON SURBER: Democrats don’t know American men.. “Adolf Platner. Six Genders Talarico. Tampon Tim. The first two are Democrat Senate candidates while Walz was the party’s vice presidential nominee in 2024. Democrats aimed these weirdos at collecting the XY vote. They have the combined testosterone of my 5-year-old grandson. The more Democrats try to run candidates to lure American men into voting for them, . . . the more they show how little they know about the U.S. Male.”

I remember, it must have been 20 years ago, I was on an NPR show with a German reporter debating U.S. foreign policy when she suddenly interjected “have you ever been abroad, do you even have a passport?” I replied that yes I did, and that in fact I had lived in Heidelberg while my dad taught at the university there, her alma mater.
JOEL KOTKIN: The anti-AI backlash is building against tech oligarchs playing God: The problem is not so much the technology but with the people building it, who have attracted the enmity of all political sides. “People across the West increasingly fear the tech oligarchs, people who run companies with stock market valuations larger than the GDP of most nations. By some measures, Apple alone is worth twice the GDP of Mexico; Microsoft is as large as Italy. Even people obsessed about their devices believe the tech overlords have overreached, enticing the enmity of Right, Left and pretty much everyone in between. Globally, trust in tech firms has been heading down for years, and is particularly low in Japan, France, and the US. In America, notes Pew, barely 10 per cent of people – Republican, Democrat or independent – see social media in a positive light.”
THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY SEEMS DETERMINED TO RUIN ITS PUBLIC IMAGE: Judge Ross Should Have Been Punished For Abdicating Her Judicial Power To Her Law Clerks: Perhaps it is common enough for Presidents to sign executive orders he does not read, or for members of Congress to vote on bills they do not read, but federal judges should aspire to a higher standard. “Judge Eleanor Ross, who serves on the federal bench in Atlanta, engaged in multiple acts of misconduct. She carried on a secret affair with an Atlanta police department officer for nearly two years, repeatedly had loud sex in her chambers, lied about her trysts, and obstructed the investigation. Each of these actions warranted a public reprimand and an impeachment inquiry. But one of the more stunning allegations has flown under the radar: Judge Ross routinely signs judicial orders her law clerks prepare without even reading them. Indeed, it seems she never even talks about these cases with her clerks, so likely has no clue what she is even approving. Yet the council that reviewed this case found no misconduct.”
