ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A JOURNALIST OR A MEMBER OF CONGRESS: It really hurts to think, new study concludes.

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Federal Judge Rules That Several Maryland Gun Prohibitions Are Unconstitutional: Federal judges are throwing wrenches in blue states’ gun control agenda.

YOU’LL DESERVE “RAMPAGING MOBS” IF YOU’RE DUMB ENOUGH TO DO THAT:

🚨Did Jaimie Raskin just reveal Democrats’ plan?

“It's gonna be up to us on January 6, 2025 to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified… We need bodyguards for everybody and Civil War conditions,”

And I hope your bodyguards are the finest the Secret Service has to offer. . . .

I suspect that this is just red meat for gullible Dems, and I also suspect that President Vance wouldn’t be any more congenial to Cong. Raskin. But is this an indicator that they expect Trump to win?

HAHA: Harrison Butker Gets a Big Contract Extension and the Left Reacts EXACTLY How You Would Expect.

They’re mad because he’s a harbinger of things to come.

MAKE THEM PAY: ‘We won’: Students get $330K settlement, end to ‘offensive’ speech code.

THEY WOULDN’T DO A CHRISTIAN-THEMED ENVIRONMENT: Simmons University offers themed housing for Muslims, but not for Jewish students.

POOR JOSH SHAPIRO, PUBLICLY ABANDONED HIS PRINCIPLES AND HIS RELIGION FOR NOTHING: Kamala Picks Walz.

UPDATE: No Jews Allowed. “Josh Shapiro is a popular governor in a swing state with eighteen electoral college votes. But he is Jewish.”

1. THEY SUCK. Thoughts on the Secret Service. “I think it is now established beyond doubt that the Secret Service is stonewalling the investigation into the Trump assassination attempt. Information has been dribbling out, and every bit of it looks horrible. . . . If this had happened in any other state–say Mexico, Brazil, Chile, or Serbia, would you even wonder whether incompetence was the cause or default to the explanation that the incompetence was a cover for something more sinister?”

WELL, THEY WORK FOR HER NOW:

Kamala Harris still hasn’t taken a single media question since being preemptively coronated, and hardly anyone in the media seems bothered by it

WELL, THAT’S BECAUSE IT IS: Most see ‘Kamalanomics’ as worse than ‘Bidenomics.’

DON SURBER: Obama Finally Reveals His Agenda.

THE ENEMY WITHIN: Meet the Al-Qaeda Lawyers Advising Team Harris.

ONE DAY THESE WILL BE IN THE SMITHSONIAN: Judge Orders Justice Department To Return Helmet, Spear ‘QAnon Shaman’ Wore During January 6 Riot at Capitol.

IT’S ALL LIES: Another J6 Lie Goes Into the Wood Chipper With the Release of Secret Service Report.

AND THE PRESS PLAYS ALONG: Kamala Harris Avoiding Press Even More Than Biden Did in 2020 ‘Basement Campaign.’

SHOCKER: Prosecutor of Anti-Trump Protesters Allegedly Withheld Exculpatory Evidence and Lied About It. “According to disciplinary charges against Jennifer Kerkhoff Muyskens, she suppressed video evidence that would have helped DisruptJ20 defendants.”

MATT TAIBBI: Bat Scares Egghead Couple: Trump Blamed: Terror of self-sufficiency grips the New York Times editorial page, in comic fashion.

CHOOSE YOUR NARRATIVE:

FT:

Newsweek:

Which do I believe? Well, when have you ever heard of Trump being “unnerved” by anything? The man is all nerve.

And I definitely believe this one:

OPEN THREAD: Monday, Monday.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Hungary and Poland to join India on Ax-4.

HOW BIG WAS IT? The Largest T. Rex Was Probably Much Bigger Than We Ever Realized.

WHY, INDEED?

So why does everybody now think the Fed made a mistake? https://t.co/SPVjyWKT1s

Also "We're not going back!" … Is Harris sure voters wouldn't want to go back to 2019? https://t.co/21G4bU75Nt

UPDATE:

Americans: “My 401K is disappearing and I can’t afford groceries.”

Democrats: “BUT PROJECT 2025!”

QUESTIONS I’M NOT ASKING, FORTUNATELY: Did I Hook Up with Kamala Harris in 1986? “In 1986 Harris is an undergrad at Howard University. I’m a student one mile down the road at Catholic U. The future vice president and I run into each other late at night over Christmas at the 9:30 Club.”

Well, I was at the 9:30 Club more than once in 1986. . . .

SO DOES THAT MAKE IT GOOD THAT THE ICE SHEET IS SHRINKING? New research has revealed that the growth of the Antarctic ice sheet was crucial in triggering the longer, more intense glacial cycles of the mid-Pleistocene, reshaping our understanding of global climate dynamics.
