WE’LL BE JOINING THE U.K, AUSTRIA, SPAIN, AND CANADA IF SO, BUT THIS IS SOMEHOW TRUMP AND RFK, JR.’S FAULT: US may lose measles elimination status after outbreaks spread to 45 states.

I WOULD PREFER FLYING CARS FOR MY 21ST CENTURY INNOVATION, PLEASE: So, Can You Really Store Your Own Fat and Inject It At a Later Time?
ONCE AGAIN THE “CONSPIRACY THEORY” WAS CORRECT:
A leaked 2004 Home Office memo to the Telegraph shows Tony Blair’s team admitting mass migration was a growing concern for people, so they hatched a secret plan to make it more “popular.”
Blair’s team pushed a different PR approach, to reframe dissent as racism… in order to… pic.twitter.com/5d0fT1MFOP

IT’S FRAUD ALL THE WAY DOWN, AND “NEUTRAL” INSTITUTIONS ARE HELPING WHENEVER AND WHEREVER THEY CAN:
Democrats cheat…a lot.
The US Census openly admits it stole 7 US House seats from Republicans.
And when Democrats lose, despite cheating, they quintuple down and try to cheat even harder! https://t.co/VjVVVFJd5D pic.twitter.com/zG6nAsyb52

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Penn State may cut 49 majors after closing 7 campuses.
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: University of Kansas staffer faces backlash over ‘#DeathtoMAGA’ post amid pattern of campus rhetoric.
Maybe death threats to political opponents don’t go well with the job of . . . public affairs officer.
EPISTEMIC CLOSURE:
Expert class libs like Matt really thought Obama had solved politics and the country would just keep doing Obamism forever.
Much of the post Obama-era derangement is their psychic shock at realizing most people—outside their No Kings bubble—now regard him as an utter failure. https://t.co/o8CX7o70rM

BEST NEWS I’VE HEARD TODAY: Pizza Hut has brought back its “Book It” Program.
MANY WITNESSES THINK THEY’RE SMARTER THAN THE LAWYER EXAMINING THEM. MOST ARE WRONG BUT:
🚨 Musk vs OpenAI's lawyer — the cross-examination exchanges
William Savitt — Wachtell Lipton's lead defense lawyer, Supreme Court clerk, trained to break witnesses.
Savitt opens with a misleading premise.
Musk: "You're being misleading. What you're saying is false."Savitt… pic.twitter.com/VscVIq6Qvl

STARMER IS GARBAGE: Golders Green: Starmer Booed, Victim Says Jews Not Safe in London. He should have been removed ages ago.
ICYMI: REMEMBER, TRUMP IS A THREAT TO NORMALCY:
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just called the Supreme Court "illegitimate." That follows Democratic politicians and pundits calling for the packing of the Supreme Court. Nothing says Happy 250th Anniversary like tearing down the core institutions of the Republic.

WHEN DEI IS YOUR ONLY COMPETENCY, ELIMINATING IT LOOKS LIKE WAR:
The thing to understand is that the Obama/Biden regimes were successful in training many senior generals and admirals that DEI is a core competency of the US military, and in many cases THE core competency of the military, over and above readiness and warfighting.
Thus, when… https://t.co/OKu2ZCTsAA

THE POLITICS OF RACE:
This includes Obama who was bellowing yesterday that the Supreme Court decision was rooted in racism.

SHIFTING CENTERS OF POWER:
The @RoyalFamily decision to celebrate Appalachia & placing it equal in importance with visiting New York City tells you how much our culture has shifted towards the middle of the country. And let's be honest few things are as American as a potluck dinner during a block party🇺🇸 https://t.co/349XPWRP1G
