HOW TO MURDER INNOVATION WITH THIS 1 WEIRD TRICK:
Watched a 60 Minutes segment on a guy whose company spent $3 billion working on curing a rare and deadly disease in children.
The dose of the resulting drug is very expensive.
Commenters are calling for “Luigi” to be released to kill him.

OH MY: Ilhan Omar’s Sister Linked To Central Figures In Minnesota’s Fraud Scandal.
The federal meals scandal is described as the largest public theft in Minnesota history. The statehouse’s House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee is probing the Somali-born congresswoman’s involvement in the scandal, but Democrats in May blocked a subpoena that would require Omar to produce records.
Public records in the state, however, may tie Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, to the operation. Noor has run several businesses in the region, including the People’s Center Clinics & Services in the Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis, which controversially received a $2 million earmark while her sister was a state representative.
Noor went on to found a group called Grit Partners Consulting, and publicly says her company “has secured more than $20 million in funding for health initiatives” and has “consulted on projects backed by” federal health agencies such as USAID and the Center for Disease Control.
Grit Partners was incorporated at a home on Hyacinth Ave. in Lakeville, Minnesota. That address, and the woman who lives there, are lynchpins tying together at least three Feeding Our Future convicts, The Daily Wire found.

IT’S TIME FOR VICTORIA TAFT’S West Coast, Messed Coast™: Climate Lie Implodes but Greens Already Spent Taxpayers’ Billions. “Your West Coast, Messed Coast™ correspondent has been corresponding on the radio in Seattle this week, where the rats have been fleeing the mayor’s rickety USS Commie Express barge.”
FROM THIS WEEK’S ROCKET REPORT: Will Amur ever fly?
Nearly six years have passed since the state-backed Russian space corporation, Roscosmos, unveiled plans to develop a reusable rocket called “Amur-LNG.” Clearly designed in response to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, Amur was intended to have a reusable first stage, methane-powered engines, and the capability to deliver 10.5 metric tons to low-Earth orbit in reusable mode. At the time, Russian space officials said they planned to debut the rocket in 2026, so basically right about now. The latest update from Roscosmos suggests the Amur rocket won’t begin flight tests until 2031, Ars reports.
Year for year… To summarize, when the Amur rocket was announced in 2020, its flight date was scheduled for 2026. Some six years later, its projected launch date has moved five years into the future. The only reasonable conclusion is that Russia’s answer to the Falcon 9 rocket will not arrive any time soon, and it is unlikely to do so until at least two decades after SpaceX first landed an orbital rocket.
Quite a comedown for a country with such a storied space program.

People are reading (or, at least, buying) The Odyssey, thanks to Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster movie. They’re arguing about whether the many-sided Odysseus should be seen as a heroic adventurer, a sword-shocked vet, a crafty killer or a dozen other interpretations. Emily Wilson’s modern translation has sold one million copies, and three other translations are on the top 10 list.
Young Americans can learn to read complex, challenging books, writes Natalie Wexler. Those who do will have an advantage over AI’s cognitive cripples.

“Don’t be evil” morphed into “Be lame” so slowly, most users never even noticed.
BILL WALTON: The Crusades Test “We were talking about why the West no longer defends its own culture, and whether the fading of Christian conviction explains it. And I said, half testing him, half testing myself: why don’t we think of ourselves as the Christians who fought the Crusades? Christians defended Western Europe for centuries. Successfully. Then one day we decided to hold the door open.”

INCENTIVES MATTER: DHS issues $84B in fines to illegal immigrants under Trump administration.
Shortly after Trump’s return to office, the administration announced it would begin fining illegal immigrants subject to final removal orders $998 per day if they failed to voluntarily leave the United States or otherwise comply with their removal orders. Illegal immigrants are required to pay the fines before they are deported, and DHS has said it may seize assets from those who fail to pay.
The Trump administration has unveiled a series of measures designed to encourage illegal immigrants to leave the country, including DHS’ announcement that those who refuse to self-deport could face “significant financial penalty.”
DHS has argued the program costs significantly less than traditional deportation proceedings and is designed to encourage illegal immigrants to voluntarily leave the United States.
The press ripped Mitt Romney in 2012 for suggesting self-deportation.
