PUT YOUR TELESCOPES ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON, AS GOD AND ROBERT HEINLEIN INTENDED. SpaceX plan for 1 million orbiting AI data centers could ruin astronomy, scientists say.

TRUMP WILL FIX IT: Young Cubans turn to church and state as cheap, synthetic drugs flood the streets.

HMM: Cholesterol screening and treatment for younger adults, new guidelines suggest.

GOOD: Stefanik bill would reform Truman scholars program after years of bias against conservatives.

THE ENEMY WITHIN: University of Maryland student government to pledge solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Losers backing losers.

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS VICIOUS WHEN CORNERED:

Hello Brad Duplessis,

OH, CANADA:

A stupid Canadian general wanted to show the Americans how tough our soldiers are, and ordered them to stay out on exercise during dangerously cold weather. The Americans went home.

It cost dozens of our guys fingers and toes.

Don’t mull it, just do it.

OOPS: Flu vaccines didn’t work that well in the US, officials find. “This season’s vaccines were around 25% to 30% effective in preventing adults from getting sick enough from the flu that they had to go to a doctor’s office, clinic or hospital, according to a CDC report this week. Children who were vaccinated were about 40% less likely to get treatment at a doctor’s office or hospital. Officials generally are pleased if a flu vaccine is 40% to 60% effective. Judging from past CDC research, this season saw one of the lowest effectiveness rates in the last two decades.”

CONSEQUENCES: Bond Market May Be a Last Guardrail on Far-Left Mayors as Moody’s Goes ‘Negative’ on Mamdani’s New York.

CONSEQUENCES:

Seems like an expedient way to bring that third world piracy shtick to a screeching halt. What took them so long? Three or four guys with automatic weapons, AT4s, whatever. (Quad .50s would be a wicked cool throwback.) Probably cheaper than Lloyds of London.

OK, now Iron DomeTF… https://t.co/fNuJOODSdz

THE PENIS MIGHTIER: Why is it worse to use problematic language to describe something than to acknowledge that thing is actually problematic?

think most people have missed the point of Judge VanDyke’s “swinging dicks” dissental. Of course he used vulgar and coarse language. (I for one would not use this approach in my writing.) That was VanDyke’s point. He was trying to draw a double standard. Thirty members of his court expressed their outrage at VanDyke writing about “swinging dicks,” but not one of them was willing to review a case that involved actual “swinging dicks.” How can it be that describing “swinging dicks” in a women’s spa is a bigger problem than the state permitting actual “swinging dicks” in a women’s spa? Judge VanDyke proves the old saw is true: “The pen is mightier than the sword.” Or, as Sean Connery would say on SNL Celebrity Jeopardy!, “The penis mightier.”

This is a common feature of contemporary debate: it is worse to use problematic language to describe something that to acknowledge how that thing is actually problematic.

Actually the ban on language is supposed to prevent the acknowledgment too.

IT’S LIKE THEY NEVER CARED:

I am getting an almost uniform sense from my sources in the black community that there are fears that immigrants are taking over the Democratic Party, and not even offering power sharing. Mandani’s commie cabinet is remarkably devoid of black men.

DEMOCRATS AS THEY ARE: Breaking: Jasmine Crockett Security Officer Shot, Killed by SWAT Team. “A man who was shot and killed by police in Dallas was part of Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s security detail, multiple sources reported on Friday. According to CBS News, the individual in question was ‘known publicly as Mike King,’ although he’d been using various aliases to gain employment.”

DON’T STOP. MAKE IT A WORSE IDEA.

I guess it was a really bad idea for Hamas to murder and rape a bunch of innocent women. Lesson learned, hopefully.

UPDATE:

In case you were wondering why CNN and Reuters are trying so hard to make it look like the United States is losing this war, look no further than this. There is a consistent trend showing Republicans gaining ground, and the media is growing desperate. https://t.co/uA9goPfGKO
