MY MOTHER HAS ALWAYS CLAIMED THAT IT DOES: Does Coffee Count Toward Your Daily Water Intake? Here’s What Experts Say. Coffee contains enough water to help. But: “However, Larson adds that high amounts of caffeine might increase fluid loss for some people. This usually happens around 400 milligrams or more, or four or more cups of coffee per day.”

Four cups? Those are rookie numbers.

THE OPINION WAS UNANIMOUS: SCOTUS: One Toke’s Not Over the Line, Sweet #2A. “If you wondered whether you’d ever see a day in which a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that marijuana use was the equivalent to alcohol use at our founding, well, find your calendar and circle today. In a 9-0 ruling authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the court threw out an indictment against a man who possessed marijuana on charges of illegal firearms possession [by a user of illegal substances]. And Justice Alito reached back to Bruen and the Founding Fathers to cement Second Amendment rights for pot users.”

Basically, to regulate firearms the regulation has to be consistent with a historic tradition of regulation. Analogizing pot to alcohol, there’s no history of banning gun ownership on the part of alcohol users. Rules against carrying a gun while drunk sure, but that’s not what the case was about. Correctly decided in my opinion.

THERE’S A LOT OF CHATTER ABOUT THE IRAN AGREEMENT, BUT I DON’T HAVE A LOT TO SAY. IT WILL FAIL. At least, Iran will break it, and Trump will start bombing again. I think Trump knows this. The Iranians probably do too. At best it’s Peace Of Amiens II and I doubt it will last that long.

SHOCK: Ringleader of Plot to Blow Up UFC 250 Fight Is ‘NOT a Citizen.’ “Announcing the arrest of five suspects in the foiled plot to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House on Sunday, the U.S. Department of Justice said Tuesday that an Omaha man taken into custody was the mastermind behind the whole conspiracy. Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, of Omaha was arrested Sunday in a raid on an old church in the small town of Western, Neb. According to federal court records filed Tuesday, Alvarez is not a U.S. citizen.”

Omaha man.

YOU HAVE TO WORK YOUR WAY UP THE CHAIN OF SEDITION TO THE TOP:

DOES THE “MEET CUTE” TAKE PLACE AT A CROSS-BURNING?

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.

TO BE FAIR, SO ARE HIS SUPPORTERS:

UPDATE:

A CRIMINAL COVERUP BY A POLICE FORCE THAT APPEARS TO HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE CRIMES:

“Cop night.”

FROM LARRY CORREIA: “I got to read an advance copy of Kurt Schlicter’s new American Warlord novel to provide a blurb. I don’t think the publisher will be able to use my first suggestion of ‘Imagine the Postman, but not written by a liberal pussy like David Brin.’ 😃. The book is great guys. You’re gonna love it.”

Haha, I blurbed it too, but that one’s better. I’ll let you guys know when it’s available on Amazon.
