SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT: We Won’t Let Anti-Gun Billionaires Who Finance Civilian Disarmament Live in the Shadows Anymore.
WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY: Mom gets groundbreaking mastectomy from a $2M robot named Carol — and went to the beach with a tiny scar weeks later.
MAYBE THE MURDER HORNETS WILL FINISH THEM OFF: ‘Zombie’ squirrels with oozing warts are found in several states in peoples’ backyards.
TRANSPLANTS ARE SLOWLY BECOMING OBSOLETE: In a First, a Scientist Regrew a Human Lung in a Bioreactor. Is This the Dawn of Rebuilding Humans Piece by Piece?
WHO CARES, IT TASTES 1000% BETTER: Is Butter Actually Healthier Than Margarine? Dietitians Break Down the True Nutritional Trade-Offs.
ROGER SIMON ON THE DEMOCRATS’ COMMIE THREAT: Carville Speaks Up. Where Are Others?
AN INSTINCT FOR THE CAPILLARY: University of Rochester provides ‘don’t weigh me’ cards to combat ‘weight stigma.’
EUROS NEED A GROUP OF PRANKSTERS WHO GO AROUND SABOTAGING THE AIR CONDITIONING IN HIGH-LEVEL GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS AND IN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS’ HOMES:
The European Commission shutting off air conditioning for everyone but the higher level bureaucrats is unreal. Like reading this I want to say it cannot be true.

BLUE POLITICS IN TENNESSEE GETTING CRAZIER: Is Hamilton County Slipping From Red To Blue Or Just From Sane To Unhinged?
As noted yesterday, the Democrat candidate for county mayor in Hamilton County made threats against school board members as part of his unhinged promotion of the LGBTQ in Hamilton County schools.
The Democrat standard bearer acknowledged a “poor choice of words” in calling for a school board members to be lynched and called the controversy over his threats “silly.”
Today, both the Chattanooga Times and Times Free Press published editorials with one calling outMark Herndon’s actions as beyond “silly” and the much more liberal Times simply saying he made a “mistake,” and somehow justified it by promoting the paper’s LGBTQ agenda.
The role of “mainstream” media in justifying Democrats’ psychosis needs to be called out.
Meanwhile, up the road in Knoxville: Knox County mayor candidate Beau Hawk marched in Venezuela for Nicolas Maduro.
CHANGE: Bolton Pleads Guilty.
SACRIFICING HUMAN LIVES TO THEIR RELIGION:
The fact that Europeans built hospitals without AC is truly mystifying to me. We can argue about whether it's good/necessary in homes, I suppose, but the people in hospitals are the most likely to die of heat stroke! https://t.co/mtiqSOf8Zw

AMERICANS PAYING FOR UNAMERICANS:
44% of rent stabilized units in NYC are occupied by people born outside of the US…
American-born citizens are subsidizing the foreign-born to live in our financial capital, while driving up prices of the remaining supply. https://t.co/tiuh1IxdNX pic.twitter.com/57BZoudeLr

UPDATE: Eugene Volokh comments: “Just to be clear, about 38% of New Yorkers are foreign-born (not quite the same as ‘unAmerican,’ it seems to me). They are thus slightly overrepresented in ‘rent stabilized’ housing, but also slightly underrepresented (by the same 6%) in public housing, and at about their share of the population in market rental and rent-controlled housing. So it sounds like the native-born and non-native-born New Yorkers are on balance very similar to each other in their use of these particular kinds of benefits. Or am I missing something?”
GRADUALLY, THEN ALL AT ONCE: I Told You So: Crimea Is in Crisis, and the Trouble Is Getting Worse Inside Russia. “There is a huge traffic jam—for people who still have any fuel left to escape—of people who are trying to use the Crimean bridge that Putin built as a monument to himself and as the direct access for Russia to Crimea.”
CHANGE:
America is currently experiencing a profound awakening to its Appalachian roots.
For decades, coastal media dismissed this region as an afterthought, an isolated pocket of the past.
But today, everyday Americans are hungry for something real.
