Or maybe it’s here.

HMM: Do you need to control your cortisol? Probably not, doctors say.

I take glycine at night, which is supposed to lower cortisol, and my Oura Ring says I sleep better when I do.

THE BIGGEST SYMPTOM IS WHEN YOUR HEART STOPS. THAT ONE’S HARD TO MISS. Cardiac arrest survivor shares symptoms she missed.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NONCOOPERATION AND OBSTRUCTION: When State Resistance Meets the Constitution. “When obstruction occurs, the Constitution does not leave the federal government helpless. The executive branch possesses a sequenced set of lawful responses, ranging from judicial and criminal to, in extreme cases, military, to restore the execution of federal law. Federal courts may enjoin state interference. Conspiracies to obstruct federal officers are illegal under federal criminal statutes. The National Guard may be federalized when governors misuse it to defeat federal authority. And where organized resistance renders ordinary enforcement impracticable, the Insurrection Act authorizes decisive action to reestablish the rule of law. Much has been made of so-called ‘norms’ against the domestic use of military force. Norms may guide discretion, but they do not override law.”

It’s also a norm that states don’t wage war against the federal government.

THIS HAS BEEN OBVIOUS FOR A WHILE TO ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION, JUST FROM HOW THEY WERE ACTING:

One of many lessons from our hearings today.

In many cases, the police were complicit in these rapes. I do not say that lightly.

The lack of any desire to investigate these men is criminal. It happened again and again and again.

And yes. It’s mainly because the rapists were…

THIS IS THE MOST ENTERTAINING TIMELINE:

IT’S COME TO THIS:

In all seriousness: the fundamental practical message of the Democratic Party is that you should expect to pay European-level taxes for South African-level public services. Nobody in the Party really offers a solution, though their brightest think we should build more housing. https://t.co/sefc86QMGB

JOHN LUCAS: Thank Your Local ICE Agents for Their Service.

Related (From Ed): Even the perilously far left Bay Area says thanks!

Some patriot purchased a pro-ICE billboard in San Francisco ahead of the Super Bowl declaring them the “Defensive player of the year” and it’s triggering all of the libs.

CDR SALAMANDER: Old and Busted: Air Supremacy. New Hotness: Orbital Supremacy. Hegseth at Cape Canaveral. “One of the foundation stones of any understanding of the national security requirements of the United States is a requirement to fully understand that we are primarily a maritime and aerospace power. That is our comparative advantage. Aerospace isn’t just air-breathing aircraft, it includes space. . . . The best way to find out what the Trump Administration wants to do, what its priorities are, and where the puck is going, is not to read second-hand reports from people who often have their own agendas or blinkered views of personalities and politics. No. The best thing you can do is go to primary sources.”

GUIDANCE FROM ACADEMIA: Trio of Minnesota law professors decry arrest of Don Lemon: ‘attack on free press.’

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Ohio University students stage anti-ICE protest, follow Minnesota ‘call to action.’

A CONSCIOUSLY ORGANIZED, FOREIGN SUPPORTED, INSURGENCY: The Riot Beat: Everyone’s debating what happened in Minnesota. Few are talking about the real problem: what these “protests” are really like. “I’ve spent years covering left-wing protests and riots across America, from 2020 through the present. What I’ve witnessed on the ground looks nothing like the noble resistance portrayed in legacy media. The reality: Chaos. Violence. Dishonesty. Truly, the street activists are among the most dishonest people I’ve encountered. . . . The real question isn’t whether federal agents were justified in Minneapolis. The real question is what kind of organized resistance has taken root in American cities and what it will take to uproot it.”

The appeal of “protest” is that it lets you act horribly while feeling good about yourself. This particularly appeals to the Cluster B crowd that the left draws on.

This scene is from an old miniseries called “Holocaust”, showing in the early days of the Nazi takeover citizens breaking windows, looting, burning things, and beating innocent people.
