SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS LIMITING WOMEN’S SPORTS TO WOMEN.
Also: Federal campaign spending limits violate the First Amendment.
And now birthright citizenship: “Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.” Not really a surprise, but a disappointment.
Congress can still make it a felony to enter the United States for the purpose of having a child, or to facilitate that, of course.
NOW ON SUBSTACK, MY THOUGHTS ON THE SUPREME COURT’S SLAUGHTER OPINION: Bringing Back the ‘Spoils System?’ Yes, Please. A better name would be an “accountability system.” And it’s just the beginning.
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Johns Hopkins layoffs, financial problems come as university is mired in Title VI controversy. “WBAL-TV reported on June 26 that many of the affected employees served in administrative roles and that school sources linked the layoffs to the Trump administration’s cuts to federal research funding. Johns Hopkins lost about $500 million in research funding in 2025 over widespread anti-Semitism on its campus.”
Laying off administrators?

One would think that the the idiocy of the left wouldn't surprise me anymore but this whole thing where Europeans actually think not using AC will make the weather cooler in their lifetimes is absolutely bananas.

MOBSTERS SHOULD PREEMPTIVELY DESTROY BOLSHEVIKS, BUT THEY NEVER SEEM TO: The Democratic Civil War: the Organized Crime Democrats are Losing to the Bolsheviks.
DON SURBER: Obama’s red revolution: Communists take credit for the works of capitalism. “The thin-skinned Obama was the first communist president. No one cared that he was black. What mattered was he was red.”
WAR IS HELL: Lack of Gasoline Getting to Russians, Part Two.
21ST CENTURY WARFARE:
The 84.7 km range of this Wovkulaka Spitfire FPV interceptor is going to give every Western surface to air missile and helicopter defense contractor a heart attack.
"Usable drone air superiority" has arrived.

Learn these lessons now, while it’s cheap to do so.
I’VE BEEN POINTING THIS OUT FOR A WHILE: America Didn’t Lose Its Tradesmen by Accident.
Hiring for new college graduates is pretty grim. And, adding insult to injury, not only are their applications screened by AI, but now the initial interviews are conducted by AI. Sometimes it’s even an AI avatar. That can be demoralizing:
Even though it’s a video interview, I’m still keen to impress.
When I log on, my interviewer, whose name I didn’t catch, looks relaxed and friendly.
He asks carefully articulated questions, listens intently, and even asks follow ups regarding particular examples I mention.
But then, strange things start happening.
He takes a while to process what I’m saying, and his facial expression remains unchanged. Then, halfway through asking me to explain a particular work scenario, he disappears without another word. He’s an AI – and he’s crashed.
Bad vibes there for sure.

THEY’RE THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL: The Cells In Your Body Fade With Age, But There May Be a Way to Reverse It. Can we revitalize mitochondria? I take a phosphatidylcholine supplement.
IT DOES WONDERS FOR ME: Reproduction affects health—and so does biological sex.
EH, I’M NOT SURE. Feds Want to Drop Requirement for Autonomous Cars to Have a Brake Pedal.
THIS IS KIND OF A LAST WARNING:
