COLOR ME UNSURPRISED: Study Links Early Retirement to Increased Risk of Cognitive Decline.
MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: From Delaney Hall to ‘Freedom 250,’ lefty violence is what real insurrection looks like. “A duly elected president — one who won a majority of both the electoral vote and the popular vote, as well as carrying every swing state — is trying to enforce valid federal laws widely supported by the public. His political opponents are trying to use violence to stop it.”

SPENCER PRATT SURVIVES JUNGLE PRIMARY: Spencer Pratt lays out plan to defeat Mayor Karen Bass in November runoff: ‘I could not be more excited.’
PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT WILL LIKELY CONCLUDE THEY HAVE TO PURGE THE LEFT OUT OF SELF-DEFENSE: Paul Krugman’s Deranged Call to Purge America of MAGA Is Scarier Than You Think. “Unfortunately, as much as we would like to think it is a mere rhetorical flourish, it is not one at all. If you think that Democrats aren’t serious when they propose what sound like insane measures, just remember what they did during COVID, what they are doing with alphabet ideology (literally sterilizing and mutilating kids and putting sex offenders into girls’ locker rooms), and what they did to President Trump before his reelection. . . . If you don’t know what that means exactly, let me tell you: outlawing political parties, rooting out supporters of the political cause you want to purge, removing academics, doctors, and other professionals associated with the movement, and banning them all from public life. It is Ursula von der Leyen’s wet dream when it comes to AfD. There were also, of course, trials and executions for the top-level malefactors.”

Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun in the UK.
Actually there shouldn't be any "allowed" about it. The bearing of arms is a natural right of free men, and any government that infringes on it renders itself illegitimate.

GOOD, THAT KNOCKED ME OFF STATINS: A Painful Side Effect of Statins Explained After Decades of Mystery. “For millions of people, statins are a daily shield against heart disease. But around 10 percent of those who take statins to lower cholesterol experience a mysterious, painful side effect that causes many to discontinue these potentially life-saving medicines. Scientists have recently found one possible reason why. Research from Columbia University and the University of Rochester in the US revealed a potential culprit: a tiny calcium gate inside muscle cells that statins may force open. The resulting calcium leak can damage muscle tissue, offering a new explanation for at least some cases of statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS).”
BRITAIN’S GEORGE FLOYD MOMENT:
In America, when people rioted, burned things, looted, attacked police stations and courthouses because a crackhead career criminal had a heart attack while violently resisting arrest, our elites called it "social justice."
What will your elites call it, these expressions of… https://t.co/ryD9aZ0pKo

Apparently the police in Southampton are now being called on to answer. The people are dissatisfied with the reply.

Told you. The entirety of British police plus the pols and the government that sent them. Fix yourself or the people will do it for you. It will involve personnel and policy changes. At all levels. https://t.co/0hzRhsKxlP

We’re still here on the front lines of the Southampton protest. The police are still holding the line. It appears they are attempting to kettle protesters in, even as night falls.
But the patriots are still out here, angry over the loss of Henry Nowak. pic.twitter.com/vShxoaO4CU

MORE: Henry Nowak: PM Starmer speaks, cop quits. “Henry died on the street, while being read his rights as an accused criminal. No longer able to speak, the last words Nowak heard were ‘you have the right to remain silent.’ Back to the Prime Minister. Starmer piles on to the idea that the real problem with the Nowak case was not his brutal, unprovoked murder, or the callous indifference shown by the responding police to the dying Nowak. No, the real problem is the (small “c”) conservative reaction to these events.”
