OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.

I BELIEVE SO: The Vela Incident: Did an American satellite detect a secret nuclear test in 1979?

IT’S ALL MEAN GIRLS ALL THE TIME:

Exactly what it looked like.

It was never “oh the facts are so complicated plus also the finer points of Massachusetts law…”

It was always a group of pre-decided nutters just bullying the others to acquit and one guy refused to give in. https://t.co/IyXCmOtcHE

Sounds about right, judging from the news, the anecdotes, the testing data and personal experience.

Not the stuff of which nations, empires and civilizations are either made or maintained.

CRIME: Local political leaders prefer gun control for the little people over empowerment. They also refuse to call out street gangs and their violence. Because in big cities, gangs are often political contributors and campaign workers.

For 50+ years society has rewarded women for being kooky, and sheltered them from the consequences. That has had consequences for society.

ROGER SIMON: Jews Should Welcome, Not Revile, the Rise of AfD.

Beneath the rhetoric and the accusations, they may well be fighting for us.

After all, it’s not Jews they are fighting. It’s not Jews who have been driving cars into German Christmas Markets and wreaking other forms of mayhem, from rape gangs to random killings, across Europe and the USA. Everyone knows who has, but we don’t want to talk about it or deal with it, even though we are on the eve of the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Everyone knows where the West’s problems stem from, though so many want to deny it. In fact, the reverse has occurred. New York City has a mayor who sympathizes with the Islamists, and Texas, of all places, has an epidemic of mosques with a growing constituency eager to adopt Sharia with all its misogyny.

Reading through AfD’s program again, I see people with the courage to face all this and a desire to preserve their country’s and Western Civilization’s traditions. Their fight is our fight.

Indeed.

JOSH BLACKMAN: O.J. Simpson and Lindsay Clancy.

IT’S BEEN A BAD MONTH FOR WOMEN:

Female jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial reportedly gushed over Kevin Reddington and said they'd hire him if they ever needed representation.

They also reportedly were upset that the prosecution "showed no compassion."
