ANDY KESSLER HAS A NICE COLUMN ABOUT MY SEDUCTIVE AI BOOK IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.
Archived version here.
GOOD: A Fifth Circuit Case Could Jeopardize the Feds’ Commerce Clause Grip on Guns. “The court has agreed to rehear United States v. Squire en banc, reopening a major fight over whether Congress can use the Commerce Clause to criminalize firearm possession simply because a gun or ammunition once moved in interstate commerce. The Fifth Circuit’s rehearing order even drew a warning from Judge Stephen Higginson that the court had ‘welcomed the possibility’ of holding that Congress’ Commerce Clause power can’t support § 922(g).”
NO. NEXT QUESTION? Schools are rethinking whether every student needs a laptop.
MY DOC IS SUSPICIOUS OF THIS CHANGE: Considering statins? New US cholesterol guidelines may change your decision. “An estimated 21.5 million additional adults in the United States may now be eligible for statins under updated cholesterol treatment guidelines, according to a new study. The researchers aimed to estimate how many adults in the US would be considered eligible for statin therapy under the new 2026 blood cholesterol guidelines issued by the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology and nine partnering medical societies, compared with the previous 2018 guidelines.”
IT’S A MYSTERY:
Hillary lost and The Clinton Foundation went broke
Biden lost and he can't get money to build his library
USAID was shut down and the DNC had to mortgage their HQ for money
Anyone else seeing a pattern here?

THE 21ST CENTURY ISN’T TURNING OUT AS I’D PLANNED: A 4,000-year-old disease is on the rise in this state thanks to armadillos. “Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is an illness many often relegate to the history books. Florida, however, has recorded 17 infections this year as of July 18, according to state health data. Of the 174 cases recorded nationwide in 2025, 36 occurred in the state, including 27 that were contracted locally rather than abroad.”
I SUSPECT THIS IS LITERALLY TRUE:
More people would pay to see Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark play a game of HORSE than would pay to see the rest of the WNBA play all of their games combined. https://t.co/RC0ZzC8RdZ

LOOK AT HER EXPRESSION:
It will never cease to amaze me that people will debase and degrade themselves in this manner in favor of a nonsensical and toxic ideology or simply out of fear of the mob that furthers this idiotic mumbo jumbo. https://t.co/HDKjrdLBbO

BRINGING BACK DRESS CODES: Alabama’s Tuskegee University demands students wear business suits, bans certain headwear in controversial new dress code.. “Dressing appropriately for class, meetings, and professional settings is not ‘White culture’ or an erasure of heritage. It is adult competence. Millions of Black professionals have long understood this without drama.”

OPEN THREAD: Do that comment voodoo that you do so well.
STACY MCCAIN: “Family Demands Answers.” “Say hello to Bryan Axel Ramirez Gomez and, while you’re at it, go ahead and say good-bye, because young Mr. Gomez shuffled off this mortal coil in February, after deciding to start a shootout with police in Elkhart, Indiana, which lasted only three seconds. . . . In this case, despite Gomez having the tactical advantage of firing the first shot, the two cops between them fired 10 shots in three seconds, and scored three hits. The officers were justified, and as for the ‘family demands answer,’ well, they got their answer — not the one they wanted. There won’t be any wrongful death lawsuit. Ben Crump won’t be showing up.”
Plus: “Superior marksmanship by cops may seem like an unfair advantage to criminals who lose shootouts, but it’s not brutality.”

The head of DHS should be a bloodthirsty savage who’s so passionate about removing foreigners that the president has to hold him back and tell him to tone it down.
Instead we’re stuck with this loser. https://t.co/j0OSimzfZJ
