FADS END: Bye-bye bisexual women: Young adults move away from LGBT identities. “By far, the biggest change is in young women calling themselves bisexual. In 2015, 8 percent of young women were bisexual. That soared to 23 percent in 2022, and fell by 18 percent in 2025. This could be a culture shift, writes Twenge.”

HEADLINES FROM 1972: Air Force test launches Minuteman III with multiple reentry vehicles. “Designated GT 255, the launch was scheduled years in advance and was not in response to current world events, according to an official AFGSC release.”
New START is dead and China is in the midst of a “strategic breakout” with its nuclear forces. Keeping our Minutemen limited to one warhead each is dangerously foolish.
TRADE WAR: Who in China Can Still Afford to Buy Our Stuff? “Chinese consumers aren’t exactly in a buying mood, and Chinese producers seem to be caught in a price-cutting battle for market share both at home and abroad.”

JOHN HINDERAKER: Lies, Damned Lies, and Journalism. “So the Tomahawk didn’t hit the school, it hit the naval base. And the video indicates that at that point, the school had already been struck. By what? We don’t know, but the one thing we know for sure is that it wasn’t the Tomahawk. My guess is that the military investigation will conclude that the school was struck by an errant Iranian missile, but by that time the left-wing press will have firmly implanted the assumption that it was ours.”
The Western press happily carries water for the mullahs. You cannot despise them enough.
BATTLESWARM: Iran Strikes Day 9. “Back before American journalists became self-licking ice cream cones, war reporting used to include maps, unit movements, logistics, combat reports from journalists embedded with U.S. units, etc. The BBC still seems to do a little of that, but I’m not seeing that from American outlets, maybe because it’s hard work. They don’t even seem to be bothering to tell ChatGPT to do it for them. Hence these roundups to fill the gap.”
POSTMODERN FEMINISTS ONLY SUPPORT WOMEN WITH NEUROTIC DELUSIONS OF OPPRESSION, OR “WOMEN” WITH A Y CHROMOSOME:
Where is noted women’s rights activist Megan Rapinoe on the Iranian women’s soccer story? She’s all in on “chicks” with dicks being heroes of women’s soccer, you’d think she could find time to speak out on the Iranian soccer women and the danger they are facing.

MATT TAIBBI EXCLUSIVE: The FBI’s Secret Stash Finally Uncovered.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation task force has begun excavating the separate set of books FBI keeps using an inaccessible “prohibited access” file designation, according to multiple government sources. Though an internal fight over how to handle the files continues, embattled FBI Director Kash Patel has assigned personnel to examine decades of hidden history, Racket News has learned, with some files already turned over to Congress.
“This is it — the deep state,” one of the sources said.
Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, whose work with whistleblowers and pressure across years was key to prying prohibited access files loose, expressed cautious optimism.
“If it weren’t for whistleblower disclosures to my office, the very existence of the FBI using ‘Prohibited Access’ files for some investigations would have remained in the dark,” he said. “I’ve asked Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel to turn over certain Prohibited Access records to Congress. I’ve received some, but am still waiting on others. I urge the DOJ and FBI to keep digging – which previous administrations apparently didn’t make any effort to do – so that the facts can come to light. The FBI’s secret stash of records is scandalous.”
Needless to say, read the whole thing.

PRIVACY: Calif. lawsuit accuses Meta of sending nude video from AI glasses to workers.
The company pitches its glasses, with their small cameras that have raised some privacy concerns, as safe: “Designed for privacy, controlled by you.” In late February, the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, or SvD, published an investigation that said Kenyan subcontractors end up seeing deeply personal footage from the glasses — including bank cards, people changing and people having sex. A new federal lawsuit filed in San Francisco on Wednesday points to the article and accuses Meta of false advertising, fraud and breach of contract.
“Consumers purchased these Glasses believing Meta’s privacy assurances,” the complaint says. “They did not, and could not reasonably, understand that their bedrooms, bathrooms, families, bodies, and more would be exposed to strangers around the world.”
Meta is still analyzing the lawsuit and did not answer SFGATE’s specific questions about why private video might end up at data labeling offices in Kenya. Spokesperson Chris Sgro told SFGATE, “Unless users choose to share media they’ve captured with Meta or others, that media stays on the user’s device.”
Maybe, maybe not — but those glasses are still creepy.
THOSE FIRST SEVEN WORDS ARE EVERGREEN: David French Suffers An Apparent Brain Injury Over James Talarico.
In a moment we should have seen coming, New York Times columnist David French has just gushed out a shameless celebration of Talarico’s insane nonsense, every word of which should qualify the worst op-ed prostitute in America for urgent psychiatric intervention. Here’s a whole paragraph: “Or, to put it another way, Talarico is one of the few openly Christian politicians in the United States who acts like a Christian, and by acting like a Christian he reveals a profound contrast with so many members of the MAGA Christian movement that’s dominated American political life for 10 years.”
A challenge: Find the evidence French offers for the claim that Talarico “acts like a Christian.” He cites some speeches, but speeches aren’t actions. How, in David French’s conception, does James Talarico live like a Christian, by his actions, and what does he think that means? Hang onto this point, because we’ll be coming back to it.
But then go on to the characterization of MAGA as a Christian movement, full stop, as if no one would argue. Quick: Name the top three speeches Donald Trump has made in which he used the Bible as an argument for his political program. Discuss, in detail, the specific policy influence of Trump’s pastor, who you should be able to name if we’re talking about a Christian nationalist ideologue. Or, as a shortcut, just show the evidence French has ever presented to prove that MAGA is primarily theological, and that Trump’s first instinct is to steer by religious faith. French doesn’t argue this, because he can’t. He just says it. It’s a noise he makes, endlessly. It has no meaning of any kind.
