WELL, GOOD: The toppling of the woke authoritarians: From Scotland to New Zealand to Canada, politicians are on a collision course with the public.

THE ENEMY WITHIN: Biden Judicial Nominee Honored by Anti-Israel Group Whose Board Member Cheers Hamas.

WE ARE GOVERNED BY MORONS. “He literally does not know the most basic things about government finance despite being an acknowledged ‘expert’ on the subject. He has the same grasp of basic economics as a third grader.”

IT SEEMS THAT WAY TO ME: The Hysterical Opposition to the Antisemitism Awareness Act is Unfounded.

The plastic garbage-can shields may have looked cool, but mostly just hampered their users and provided a convenient handle.

THE ENEMY WITHIN: The ‘Micro-Intifada’: How American Protesters Are Being Trained in ‘Militancy:’ Guides created by radical groups are teaching pro-Palestinian students to use violence on campus.

MATT TAIBBI: The Atlantic Compares Walter Kirn to Donald Trump: The latest “What happened to you, man?” piece goes next-level. “The Atlantic churned out a paint-by-numbers hit piece on my friend Walter Kirn this week, and yes, I’m pissed about it. Really, is there no end to this nastiness? The chief complaint of ‘The Blindness of Elites’ is that Walter, formerly well-regarded smart person, spends too much time complaining about ‘elites’ instead of Donald Trump.”

The elites suck, people are. noticing, and those who are paid to keep people from noticing are turning up the volumne.

WHY, INDEED? “But who are the outside agitators? If they are not students, who are they? How about some details? Lots of them were arrested. Why isn’t there a torrent of detail about what sort of people they are?”

YES, THE BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTS IN LONDON AND BERLIN WERE HILARIOUS: The United States Is Exporting Its Social Movements (and Its Social Problems): Both U.S. protests and radical movements are going global.

Basically, we’re doing socially what China did microbially with exporting Covid — if this shit is going to be our problem, it’s going to be everybody’s problem.

Your mistake is thinking frat guys are protesting. They’re not.

They are out there telling these blobs to eat shit, fuck off, and never touch the flag again.

If they didn’t fuck with the flag and the US, no one would be bothering the losers playing Barbie land infitada. https://t.co/1fOMVBFiSf

“Barbieland Intifada.” Heh. That one’s gonna stick.

IT’S ILLEGAL TO CAMP OVERNIGHT (BETWEEN 10 PM AND 7 AM) ON PUBLIC PROPERTY IN TENNESSEE: Police arrive to Tennessee College of Law lawn, protestors in support of Palestine disperse.

Demonstrators gathered in front of the Tennessee College of Law were told to disperse within 15 minutes or they would be arrested by the UT Police Department at 12:10 a.m. on Thursday morning. Shortly after at approximately 12:52 a.m, police donning riot gear showed up from both UTPD and the Knox County Sheriff’s Office.

Those who refused to leave were threatened with felony charges. A majority of the chancellor’s cabinet was on site for the announcement, which was given by an organizer to approximately 70 students and community members.

UT administration requested that the organizers of the event make a public call to disperse during a conversation. Administration was telling students they were violating laws and Tennessee code TCA 39-14-414.

TCA 39-14-414 provides: “It is an offense for a person to engage in camping on property owned by the state knowing that the area on which the camping occurs is not specifically designated for use as a camping area by the department or agency responsible for the land.” Full statute here.

I drove by the site the other day and took some pics but didn’t think they were interesting enough to post. Here they are:

Note the “Jewiciders,” as Pam Geller calls them, handing out food.

And yes, I think the Tennessee statute is a legitimate time, place, and manner restriction.

WELL, GOOD: Small molecule shows early-stage promise for repairing myelin sheath damage.

NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME: Study: AI is unreliable in assessing heart risk in emergencies. Though after Helen’s heart attack, the ER EKG’s expert system flagged her as “likely recent MI” and the cardiologists looked at her, a fit, slender young woman, and said “naaah.” It was a couple of more months before she was diagnosed.

WELL, IT DOES: Myth that tan skin looks healthier persists for a third of young adults.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH COLLEGE TODAY: “Elite universities pander to a small minority of progressive students at the expense of the students who simply want to enjoy a normal college experience, which involves things like frat parties, university traditions, and joy.”

Ditch ’em and go to SEC schools.
