THERE’S SO MUCH GOOD NEWS COMING OUT ABOUT THESE DRUGS IT MAKES ME A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS: Drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, new study says.
OVER AT SUBSTACK, I HAVE THOUGHTS on Marco Rubio’s speech yesterday.

HE DESERVES MORE THAN JEERS: Protesters jeer Mamdani at Oct. 7 vigil. “The events raised questions about whether Mr. Mamdani, who energized his campaign with his embrace of the Palestinian cause and ardent criticism of Israel, can now, as mayor, unite New Yorkers whose emotions remain inflamed over the issue.”
The answer is no, he can’t, and he will inevitably side against the Jews.
ARE ANY OTHER STUDENT GROUPS SUBJECT TO THIS KIND OF COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT? U. Arizona suspends all fraternity activities over assault, hazing, and drug allegations.
INFLUENCER WITHOUT INFLUENCE: Thousands signed up for Hasan Piker UT Austin event, only 300 attended. “More than 2,400 people reportedly RSVP’d or joined a waitlist for left-wing streamer Hasan Piker’s appearance at the University of Texas at Austin, but university officials said just 300 people ultimately attended. A conservative organizer who protested the event told Campus Reform that the turnout suggests Piker may not have as much appeal as organizers expected.”
Sounds plausible.
THEY’RE NOT DOING THIS STUFF BECAUSE IT’S GOOD FOR WOMEN:
When I got into an argument with the late Senator Dianne Feinstein in front of a room full of constituents, accusing her and the party of using women (their pain and trauma) to get votes, this is the kind of stuff I was referring to 👇 https://t.co/Bl6BRlQ9b0

So basically, we took his family in from Somalia, cared for them, allowed them to stay here PERMANENTLY, and how does their son repay us?

WESTERNERS IN GENERAL NEED THEIR NOSES RUBBED IN REALITY: Young Americans Were Shown the October 7 Terror Attacks in VR. Their Reactions Were Eye-Opening.
Sixty percent of young Americans support Hamas over Israel. If that isn’t concerning, it’s unclear what is.
On the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks, comedian, actor, and content creator Zach Sage Fox teamed up with Montana Tucker to show young Americans the reality of the massacre, a necessary exercise in a culture too willing to excuse terrorism when its perpetrators claim oppression.
Fox began by asking what they knew. Many were quick to condemn Israel, but few knew anything about the initial attack, a brutal indictment of both our culture and the American education system. He then brought out a virtual reality headset and had them watch the harrowing footage of October 7. For many, the footage was an eye-opening experience that challenged what they thought they knew about the war between Israel and Hamas. Fox then gave them the opportunity to speak with two Israeli survivors of the October 7 massacre.
“Today is the third anniversary of October 7th, and since 60 percent of young Americans support the terrorists who did it, we’re going to use virtual reality to make the reality of that day undeniable,” Fox said.
For many of the young Americans, the experience was a lesson. For others, it became an opportunity to double down. One person took the opportunity to blame Judaism for the problems the Jewish people face in the Middle East. Another simply repeated “Free Palestine,” refusing to defend her position or offer any substantive argument. Others continued to call Israel’s actions a genocide, even after being presented with figures claiming that 70 percent of Gaza’s buildings had been destroyed but only three percent of its population had been killed, half of those being terrorists. Yet when asked whether they would apply the same label to Hamas, they insisted that Hamas had “just murdered people.”
They haven’t been taught the difference between civilization and barbaric savagery, and it shows. Also, admitting what they have been supporting would be too much of a psychological blow for many. Better to mindlessly repeat “Free Palestine.”
LET’S NOT GO ON ABOUT WHO KILLED WHO. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY OCCASION!

VIRGINIA SLIMS TOLD WOMEN THAT RISKING LUNG CANCER WAS FEMINISM; THAT STARTED A TREND:
When you realize that most of “female empowerment!” is actually big business in many ways, then the escalating gender war starts to make more sense. https://t.co/zPcmtkEWXy
