LUNAR HUMMUS IS A GO: Researchers successfully grow chickpeas in ‘moon dirt.’
OH, CANADA: “One out of every 20 deaths in Canada is now caused by the government’s assisted suicide program.”
“What’s even more shocking is how fast the deaths are approved.”
TERRORISM IS MOSTLY RICH KIDS LARPING:
Look at that house
Look at it again (when home ownership is out of reach to too many native born Americans)
Don’t ever let them tell you it’s poverty and desperation that drives people to terrorism
Absolute and complete lie

BUT OF COURSE:
Fun fact: In 1996, Barack Obama won his first elected office (Illinois state Senate) by throwing all of his opponents off the ballot.
One of his tactics for disqualifying them was to challenge signatures on his opponents' petitions by married women who signed using the wrong… pic.twitter.com/nZaqrR0kzj

THE PRESS: MAGA IS FRACTURING OVER THE WAR.
HE COULD WRITE THAT THEN, NOW HE’D BE LYNCHED:
Before “MAGA whackos”, there was liberal American journalist Joel Stein, who wrote about why he soured on Indian immigration to the United States, based on his experience growing up in a town that changed demographically almost overnight. https://t.co/Cy0zUwd0MY pic.twitter.com/HImfCEw4xM

THEY HATE IT WHEN AMERICA WINS:
.@PeteHegseth has just overseeing his military as it annihilated the entire leadership, navy, and air defense system of a significant regional power with minimal losses.
I understand why Democrats are so angry about him. https://t.co/xfOY3a4IAG

ICYMI: ROGER KIMBALL: Unconditional Surrender: When Wars Are Fought to Win.
Within just four or five days, virtually all of Iran’s senior leadership has been eliminated. Then its replacements were eliminated. “Their army is gone,” President Trump said a few days ago. “Their navy is gone. Their communications are gone. Their leaders are gone. . . . Their Air Force is wiped out. . . . They have 32 ships. All 32 are at the bottom of the ocean. Other than that,” he quipped, “they’re doing very well!”
The assault is not just continuing; it is ramping up. Just a few days ago, Israel destroyed a massive underground complex in the center of Tehran from which the (late) Supreme Leader Khamenei had planned to conduct the war. As retired Lt. General Keith Kellogg told Fox News, President Trump is “going after everything. . . . There’s a huge target list out there, and there’s no restrictions.” Kellogg, noting that he had never seen an operation like this, said that it’s not “whack a mole” but “whack a mullah. . . . This is a massive win for the United States.”
It’s also a massive win for the Iranian people. Just a week ago, the populace was cowed by the mullahs, their immoral “morality” police, and the murderous Basij thugs who terrorized the population. Remember, in January, they maimed and murdered tens of thousands of protesters. Tens of thousands. Now, a popular game in Iran is sneaking up behind Islamic regime clerics and knocking off their turbans. I like to see it. Around the world, exiled Iranians—often alongside Israelis and other Jews—are demonstrating in favor of President Trump. In London, a group of Iranians held a vigil, replete with candles and singing of the American national anthem, to honor the six American troops killed in Kuwait by an Iranian drone strike.
It helps to be the strong horse.
MARK SIMON: Mr. President, We Need to Talk About China.
THAT’S HOW IT WORKS:
Vast majority of the electorate was unaware at the time, and is even less aware today, of the attempt to gun down a bunch of GOP Congressmen in 2017, that sent Scalise to the hospital. https://t.co/0oCHD7QsNi

THEY’LL KNOW THE ONE WHO ISN’T WHACKED IS THE ONE WHO WAS WORKING FOR US ALL ALONG:
New ayatollah, new target!
BBC re Mojtaba Khamenei "the power behind the robes … capable but forceful."
"Yet his selection could still prove controversial."
Uh, sure. If he lasts more than a day or two. Does anyone else want that bullseye on them?https://t.co/IX6uWC8ATd

LOL, GEORGE CONWAY:
Never forget this guy was an avowed Trump supporter until he learned that Trump was not going to name him to be Solicitor General in the first Administration. https://t.co/aRcv5DCvqD

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.
HAHA:
One of the more creative aspects of the demonstration by the Iranian community in Dublin yesterday is that they started chanting ‘your sugar daddy’s dead’ at the Paddystinians who came to harass them.
