NOBODY TELL ANN ALTHOUSE: Important thoughts about men wearing shorts to the office. “Let’s acknowledge what this is really about: the overwhelming advantage women have in the workplace over the summer months. Sure, women have endured countless millennia of violence and misogyny and discrimination — but sundresses are a godsend for the summer and men do not really have an comparable article of clothing. The fairer sex clearly has a sartorial advantage and this cannot stand is all I’m saying here.”

The A/C was partially out in my law school earlier this week, but luckily the floor with my office and classrooms wasn’t on the dead circuit. I threw shorts and a t-shirt in my car just in case. I’ve taught in those a couple of times in the past. Improvise, adapt, and overcome!

But I don’t think most people want to look at most men’s calves.

WELL, GOOD:

Something big is about to happen with deportations in America. You should be ready for this…

I just spoke with a senior DHS official. They shared deportation numbers with me that frankly stunned me.

+27,000 deportations. Last week.

+3,600 a day average.

Tracking for 1.4… pic.twitter.com/FBKboHnmt4

Key bit: “DHS tells me blue states are quietly and very secretly working with the Trump administration to assist in the mass deportation of criminals. The criminal alien issue has become so “politically toxic” and “costly” that Democrat Governors have given the green light to Sheriffs and Police Chiefs in major blue cities to drop their illegals off with undercover ICE for removal. It’s happening. You just don’t see it.”

The Clinton Gun ban was just 22 years ago. Pistol brace BS is dead. Tax stamps are dead. FRTs are plentiful and legal. The NFA is hanging by a thread. The border is on absolute lockdown. We’re deporting ~50,000 illegals a month. And now TPS is gone. And you’re blackpilling?
