I like that he was killed, and it’s better that he was killed in Iran where he probably thought he was safe. Sends a better message.
BOLD STRATEGY, COTTON, LET’S SEE IF IT PAYS OFF FOR THEM:
The Harris campaign has decided they want to fight a culture war this summer with the GOP. Their cultural priorities are:
—Sex changes for minors
—Drag shows for kids
—Pornography in schools
—Men in women’s sports
—Men in girls’ restrooms and locker rooms

THE POLICE AREN’T THERE TO PROTECT CITIZENS FROM CRIMINALS, BUT TO PROTECT CRIMINALS FROM CITIZENS. BUT IF THEY OVER DO THEIR JOBS, WELL . . . Violent crowd clashes with UK police after young girls killed. “A large crowd of anti-Muslim protesters clashed with police on Tuesday in a northern English town where three girls were stabbed to death and five other children critically wounded during an attack on a Taylor Swift-themed event on Monday. The horrific stabbing incident in Southport, a quiet seaside town north of Liverpool, has shocked the nation. Police have said it was not linked to terrorism and that the suspect was born in the UK.”
They won’t release his name or anything about him, though, which has people drawing the obvious conclusions. Dumb.

I FEEL LIKE THE ANSWER TO THIS HAS TO BE NO: Is PowerPoint Cool Now?
THIS IS HOW LITTLE THEY VALUE YOUR PRIVACY — THEY SOLD IT FOR CHEAP: Automakers Sold Drivers’ Data for Shockingly Low Amounts of Money. “One shocking revelation from the letter is just how little the manufacturers actually profited from selling the data. Staffers from Sen. Wyden’s office investigated the three automakers and found that Verisk paid Honda $25,920 over four years for information about 97,000 cars, amounting to just 26 cents per car. Hyundai was paid just over $1 million for data on roughly 1.7 million cars over a six-year period, totaling 61 cents a car. GM would not reveal how much it was paid, according to Sen. Wyden, though a new report this week from the New York Times suggests the manufacturer sold data for more than 8 million cars.”
BUT NOW THEY’RE PRETENDING IT NEVER HAPPENED: Flashback: That bullet intended for Trump could have completely ripped apart American life.
OF COURSE THEY ARE: Gun Control Industry Shoving Their Cash at the Kamala Harris Campaign.
Think of the gun control industry as a money laundry for Democrats and grifters and you won’t go far wrong.
WELL, THAT’S BIG OF ‘EM: Chevy Will Build as Many Corvette ZR1s as People Want to Buy.
COLOR ME UNSURPRISED: A healthy diet with less sugar linked to younger biological age.
WELL, YES: The Real Lesson of Venezuela: Never EVER Give Up Your Guns.
As our present situation demonstrates, even an armed population will put up with enormities, but the presence of arms sets a limit.
WELL, LET THE HARDWARE ANSWER THE QUESTION: New model shows cortical implants like Elon Musk’s Blindsight are unlikely to ‘exceed normal human vision.’ I mean, the models haven’t had a tremendous record lately.

SOMETHING THAT CAN’T GO ON FOREVER, WON’T:
Since January 2020 the debt has ballooned by 50% from $23 trillion to $35 trillion.
Interest on the debt is also skyrocketed with higher rates, averaging around 5% lately.
Interest on the debt is on pace for $1.5 trillion next year, about 30% of all govt revenue collected. pic.twitter.com/WfNGOGcEjo

I’ve kind of got learned helplessness here. It’s not that I don’t care, it’s that I don’t think anything will be done until there’s a serious crash. Conservatives and small government types should be ready to seize and pounce when it happens, and roll out a Millei-type program of slashing spending. And they should be ready to face extralegal, and possibly violent, resistance to that program from those who want to fill the troughs just one more time.
NORMS:
The standard bearer of Johnson’s party was shot in the head by a would-be assassin two weeks ago and this is the guy who said we needed to therefore speak nicely about our adversaries.

The “democracy” and “norms” party has now fully embraced fundamentally uprooting and remaking our Supreme Court — entirely because they aren’t getting their preferred outcomes in some major cases. That’s the only reason https://t.co/YVqVAOnW6M

Also: Biden Calls Speaker Johnson “Dead on Arrival.” Twice.
They advertised Biden as bringing a return to norms and civility. Keep that in mind when you see how they’re advertising Kamala.
Plus:
The Democrat Party just installed a socialist as its nominee who received zero votes.
They cancelled the primary, refused to hold a new one. No one even knows who is running the country.
Has there ever been a bigger political scandal in US history?
