“ABSOLUTELY NO SELF AWARENESS:” BREAKING: Have You Seen Kamala’s New Ad?

SELF-DEFENSE: The Exception to the Rule. “Most citizen-involved shootings happen at very close range, involve the firing of very few shots and are over rather quickly. The problem, of course, is that your particular encounter with the bad guys may turn out to be the exception to the rule.”

DESPITE ALL THAT: Study: High excess death rates in the West for 3 years running since start of pandemic despite containment and vaccines.

SEGREGATION NOW, SEGREGATION TOMORROW, SEGREGATION FOREVER! Black-Women-Only Grant Program Likely Violates Federal Law, Isn’t Protected by First Amendment.

JUST IN TIME FOR THE ELECTION: 5 million doses of vaccine against H5N1 avian flu being prepared.

THIS SOUNDS OVER THE TOP, BUT IT REALLY ISN’T: Fauci is the single most destructive force of the 21st century, and he must be held accountable: Fauci’s record as the coronavirus point man in two White House administrations is clear and undeniable. He is responsible for advancing mountains of fraud, carnage, negligence, and suffering.

YES. NEXT QUESTION? Is There a Racial Component to the Recent Controversy Involving Caitlin Clark? “The WNBA is finally getting eyeballs, and what we see is a bunch of nasty women brutalizing Caitlin Clark because this is what predictably happens concerning women in the workforce. Whether it be on the court or in corporate America, it’s women bullying other women that breeds actual toxicity. Clark was the first overall pick. She’s starting to play better on a very bad and rebuilding Indiana Fever team. She’s doing her job, but the rest of the league seems to have a bounty on her. Clark won’t break and probably will soak up the intense scrutiny surrounding her impact on the sport, but Saturday’s game against the Chicago Sky bred new controversy. Clark got body-checked hard by Sky guard Chennedy Carter, who could be seen mouthing ‘bitch’ before laying into her. . . . Women basketball players have whined for years that they don’t get their attention. It’s here, ladies, and you’re about to blow it. And, of course, there’s a racial component to this that’s nasty as well. If Clark were black and being assaulted on the court by a bunch of white players, it would be more of a story. It is getting media attention, but half of it is begrudgingly so. The usual lefty writers, who can’t stand that the WNBA is getting more popular because a white, non-lesbian is the marquee player, will pen the usual thought pieces about how Clark’s rise is white privilege reloaded. We’ve seen that already, but these antics are ridiculous. Even Charles Barkley had to call out these whiny, jealous women in the league.”

Hating the only player in thirty years to make people care about your league is next level dumb for WNBA players. Honest question has there been a rookie hated like this in men’s sports? I can’t think of one in my life. https://t.co/77f5CizCRa

GOOD ADVICE: Chicago 911 Chief: Buy A Gun. “In Chicago, at least half the time there are no police officers available to respond to 911 calls for help – not even the highest priority calls like stabbings, domestics, rapes, gunshot victims and so forth. Not even for a triple homicide. In August 2022, it took police 20 minutes to arrive at the scene of a triple homicide with two more victims critically injured and a suspect nearby.”

THEY NEED TO PAY MORE: Don Surber: The Media Pays for Getting Trump Wrong. “Two stories broke on Monday that are intertwined. One is the realization by liberals that President Trump may win by a landslide because of the kangaroo courts of New York. . . . The other story is the Sunday night massacre at the Washington Post — the firing of its editor — which sent shockwaves through the credentialed media, which only goes to show how out of touch the media is.”

IT USED TO BE A CRAZED RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY THEORY. NOW IT’S IN THE NEW YORK TIMES: Why the Pandemic Probably Started in a Lab, in 5 Key Points. “The year before the outbreak, the Wuhan institute, working with U.S. partners, had proposed creating viruses with SARS‑CoV‑2’s defining feature.”

Plus: “Given what we now know, investigators should follow their strongest leads and subpoena all exchanges between the Wuhan scientists and their international partners, including unpublished research proposals, manuscripts, data and commercial orders. In particular, exchanges from 2018 and 2019 — the critical two years before the emergence of Covid-19 — are very likely to be illuminating (and require no cooperation from the Chinese government to acquire), yet they remain beyond the public’s view more than four years after the pandemic began.”

We’re getting a modified limited hangout now, but they’re still covering up the worst stuff.

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. Gavin Newsom’s lockdown policies during the coronavirus pandemic and which is home to one of the school boards leading challenges to policies inclusive of LGBTQ+ students and curriculum.”

I’ve written about intrastate secession before.
