WHEN I WAS A KID, I ALWAYS WANTED AN M-19 ANNIHILATOR: Because Everyone Wants a Battery-Powered Full-Auto BB Gun.
For those who don’t recognize the reference, read this.
(I also had the Mattel M16 “Marauder,” which I got for my 7th birthday and which was the best toy gun I ever had.)
WE NEED A SCREWFLY SOLUTION: Rollins Reinforces Federal and State Response to New World Screwworm.
IF YOU’RE MENOPAUSAL, DON’T WAIT: Does HRT Actually Protect the Heart After Menopause? “The Penn State data suggests estrogen-based hormone therapy improves several key cardiovascular markers. But the protective effect depends heavily on timing. Benefits appear most significant when treatment starts within 10 years of menopause or before age 60. After that window, the calculation changes.”
R.I.P. GORDON WOOD:

Gordon Wood – the eminent historian of early America who just died – was a forceful critic of the NYT ‘1619 Project,’ which was a cheap propaganda effort to convince Americans that slavery was what this country is all about. He dismantled the project methodically. Link next post.

He debunks the 1619 Project here. The woke was so strong then that he had to go to the World Socialist Website to find someone who’d run it.

WHY IS HIGHER EDUCATION SUCH A CESSPIT OF CENSORSHIP? Several news outlets sue Penn State trustees over alleged ‘gag policy.’

And to preach their solidarity with Christians and Jews in the #mosques as well
What do you think about that Zara ?#Belfast

ROGER SIMON: Who the Hell is Nithya Raman?
EXACTLY:

FUZZY BLACK HOLES HAVE NO HAIR: Black holes could ‘leak’ long enough to become white holes that weigh no more than a flea’s egg.
LOWER COURT JUDGES NEED SOME SERIOUS SMACKING: SCOTUS Smacks Obama/Biden Appointees With A Newspaper Across The Nose For Wrongfully Acting Like A “Roving Commission Looking For Wrongs To Right.” A very pointed Per Curiam Opinion issued this morning identifies the Fourth Circuit as a repeat offender in deciding cases on issues never raised by the parties — THAT is judicial activism.
THEY’RE PROBABLY BACKED BY THE CHINESE. OR THE SAUDIS. Sneaky leftist lawsuits are taking aim at US energy dominance.
HAHA. ONLY WHEN IT SUITS THE NEEDS OF THE ESTABLISHMENT.
