SHE BELIEVES SHE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT: Chris Cillizza: Does Kamala Harris Have Any Actual Beliefs?
Related: “Ma’am, I don’t need a teleprompter. I’ve actually got thoughts in my head, unlike Kamala Harris.”
THE NEW CENSORSHIP MUST BE PLAYING BADLY BECAUSE NOW THE NYT AND THE WAPO ARE BLAMING DONALD TRUMP FOR IT. “It has been only eight years since Donald Trump popularized the term ‘fake news’ as a cudgel to dismiss and attack journalism that challenged him.”
Well, if you guys would stop lying so much — *cough* Russian Collusion *cough* — and start reporting actual news — *cough* Hunter’s laptop *cough* — maybe he wouldn’t have gotten traction with that. But in fact you’re the guys trying to shut down reporting and opinion that run against your chosen storylines, which are often false. And now that people have noticed you’re trying to shift the blame. Stop trying to pretend that we have healthy, normal institutions. We don’t. You aren’t.

WE NEED TO GO FULL MILLEI:
One solution to this crawling rot is to abolish everything that doesn't exist for a vital reason. If you can't tell who the bad apples are then on statistical grounds alone getting rid of 75% of the bureaucracy will eliminate 75% of the crooks, agents and grifters.

NOTICING THE OBVIOUS: Axios reports that anonymous White House officials were “shocked” that Hamas executed the hostages and have now hardened their negotiating position even more.
Israel should openly demand unconditional surrender, as the Allies did in WWII and as the Union did in the American Civil War, and should proceed to force Hamas to that end with unlimited warfare, as the Allies did in WWII and the Union did in the American Civil War.

OUR RULING CLASS AT WORK: US surgeon general’s anti-parent doom will only worsen US fertility crisis.
Remember when the only time you heard from the surgeon general was via a notice on your cigarette package warning that consumption of tobacco was harmful?
Now, the federal government is handing out a diagnosis of misery to those deciding to become parents — proclaiming, in a professionally produced video replete with scary statistics, that an alarming 41% of parents “say that most days they are so stressed they cannot function.”
Oh, puhleez. Plus:
Meanwhile, there’s no lack of research supporting the idea that parenthood promotes happiness rather than gloom.
The Institute for Family Studies found in 2022 that about 25% of married women without children classified themselves as “very happy” — and almost 40% of married women with children said the same.
The cure for our national malaise — and it’s clear from the data on mental health that we are experiencing a crisis — isn’t turning what makes us happy into a medical issue, but promoting that which brings our lives joy, meaning and fulfillment.
Pathologizing parenthood isn’t how we fix what’s wrong in our country; quite the opposite.
True. The mental health crisis, and the stress of parenthood, is just part of the Curley Effect, which our dubious Surgeon General is promoting.

HE’S NOT WRONG:
The whole idea of globalism and multiculturalism was to kill the country. The whole thing, the idea of it. The whole shebang. To make it cool to spit on the ashes of your fathers and the temples of your gods. To make it shameful in fact to even have a father or gods.

HMM: Scientists Discover “Completely Different” New Risk Factor for Heart Disease. “In addition to the established risk factors for cardiovascular disease—such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activity—another factor must now be considered: clonal hematopoiesis. This condition, caused by acquired mutations in blood stem cells, has already been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular events. However, until now it was uncertain if clonal hematopoiesis was a cause or consequence of cardiovascular disease. Now, a new study published in Nature Medicine and carried out by researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) resolves this critical debate by establishing clonal hematopoiesis as a new risk factor for atherosclerosis—the formation of lesions in the arterial wall that underlies most cardiovascular disorders.”
