AMERICA’S PROBLEMS START HERE:

TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY:

THEY’RE JOINED AT THE HIP TO THEIR OWN AGITPROP LIES NOW:

OPEN THREAD: Party on.

TAKE TWO AND CALL ME IN THE MORNING: A common medication may be taking on an unexpected role in cancer care. “What if a cheap, everyday painkiller could help keep cancer from coming back after surgery? New clinical trial results suggest that for some patients with colorectal cancer, aspirin may do exactly that. In a study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden, patients with colorectal cancer who took a daily low dose of aspirin after surgery were far less likely to see their disease return, but only if their tumors carried specific genetic changes.”

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Change: Acting AG Todd Blanche Lays Out Second Amendment Realignment at DOJ. “In a wide-ranging conversation with nationally-syndicated talk radio host, Tom Gresham, Blanche touched on upcoming regulatory changes, a reshaping of ATF enforcement priorities, active Supreme Court litigation, and a deliberate strategy to embed Second Amendment protections so deeply into federal regulatory infrastructure that future administrations would struggle to reverse them.”

ROGER KIMBALL: Chekhov’s Lesson for Tehran: Trump isn’t negotiating with Iran—he’s dismantling its regime piece by piece, leaving a hollow state with nothing left but bluster and collapse.

What I notice is that in the on-again off-again negotiations that lead nowhere, Trump is doing to the Iranians what they once did to us: “Asked what he had recommended to the President when no hostages were freed after arms shipments to Iran in February 1986, Mr. Regan said, ‘I told him that we’d been snookered again, and how many times do we put up with this rug merchant type of stuff?'” He’s jerking them around with vague prospects of getting something while the clock continues to run. Serves ’em right. He’s a better rug merchant than these guys.

THE ENABLING FACTOR IS “JOURNALISM:”

UPDATE:

That’s the thesis of my latest Substack.
