GEORGE WAS A YEAR BEHIND ME IN LAW SCHOOL AND CONTINUES TO PLAY TO TYPE:

AMERICA IS THE ANTITHESIS OF LEFTISM, SO LEFTISM MUST ALWAYS END IN HATING AMERICA:

CLASS: Brits visiting US for first time during World Cup are apologizing to Americans: ‘We were wrong’. I think — and I believe I first heard this from John Ringo’s wife Miriam, who’s super-smart — that the difference between the attitudes toward flyover America from the World Cup crowd and from the European laptop class is class. The soccer fans aren’t as posh as the ones who come for the Olympics, and they are seeing parts of America that are — like them — middle- and working-class and they’re thinking that wow, it’s a lot better to be middle- and working-class in America than in Britain or Europe. Whereas for the laptop class, not so much.

OPEN THREAD: It’s perfection and grace. It’s the smile on my face.

DEPOPULATION: The World’s Biggest Population Fear Has Flipped – and It Could Change Everything. “Since the 1960s, public debate has often focused on the dangers of overpopulation. Those concerns have not disappeared, especially in discussions linked to immigration, but attention has increasingly turned toward shrinking populations and the economic and national security challenges they may bring.”

JEFFREY CARTER: The Socialist Sweep: NYC is a warning sign. “Socialists are taking over cities. Last night in NYC, the Mamdani candidates won. They beat well-funded, more establishment Democrats. Those Democrats were NOT centrists. They were people of the left, too, just not communists.”

NOW OUT FROM LARRY CORREIA: American Paladin.

21ST CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS: Jenny Mollen jokes son is ‘really the predator’ after viral backlash over intimate bed photos. “Jenny Mollen jokingly called her 12-year-old son Sid a ‘predator’ while addressing the ‘weird’ backlash to their intimate bed photos. . . . Last month, Mollen, who shares sons Sid and Lazlo, 8, with estranged husband Jason Biggs, sparked outrage for posting two Instagram photos of her lying on top of her oldest child in bed. Her controversial caption read, ‘Your eldest son will be the most toxic boyfriend you ever have.'”

ALEX BERENSON: Anti-competitive hospital practices cost American families up to $2,500 a year.. “Don’t take it from me. The number is a (conservative) federal estimate. Much of the extra cash goes to executives like Steven Corwin, who made $26 million in 2024 running a ‘nonprofit’ hospital chain.”

Nonprofits need to be sharply cut back, if not eliminated. Nonprofit salaries should be capped to match Congressional salaries.
