HEADLINES I DIDN’T SEE COMING: Mark Judge: Dua Lipa, like Pope Benedict, Strives to Give Eros Dignity.
I like her music okay, but I’m not a fan of her support for Hamas. And denouncing “Israeli genocide” is just that.
BREAK CALIFORNIA UP: Forget the first 220 failures to split California. This developer has a new plan to secede. “Though he can be coy sometimes about how much he really wants San Bernardino County to strike out on its own, Burum’s longshot campaign taps into the same vein of resistance against California’s liberal governance increasingly cropping up in more conservative pockets of the state. That includes San Bernardino County, which sued to stop Gov.

THE NATIVE AMERICANS HAD TO GO, FOR THE SAKE OF THE PLANET: Carbon dioxide dropped after colonial contact wiped out Native Americans.
FOLLOW THE MONEY AND YOU’LL FIND THE SCIENCE: Study shows most doctors endorsing drugs on X are paid to do so.
IT’S ALL JUST ANOTHER CASE OF HISTORY REPEATING, I GUESS: Hunter Biden’s Trial May Hinge on What the Meaning of ‘Is’ Is.
YOU CAN’T QUESTION A JURY VERDICT, OR AN ELECTION, WHEN IT GOES THE DEMOCRATS’ WAY: And note the phrase “jury denial.” It’s like “election denial.”
