THE LEFT IS ALWAYS TRYING TO STACK THE RULES TO GUARANTEE A WIN:

Here's what they've normalized and are trying to reinforce with the Jaxson Dart situation:

Black people can be offended by what white people believe. But white people can't be offended by what black people believe.

BASTIAT’S WINDOW: Planepooling—Commercial Aviation Reinvented: If we could reinvent American commercial aviation from scratch today, regional travel might well resemble Uber’s ridesharing models.

I wrote about that in Popular Mechanics back in 2010, and I’m ready for it to happen.

UPDATE: I had some further thoughts here, 20 years ago: Jet You.

OOPS: Mosquitoes can learn that DEET means dinner is served.

When I was in Alaska, I used the 100% DEET and just a few drops on pulse points kept me from getting a single bite, though to be fair, mosquitoes don’t particularly like me. But it was still scary.

I BELIEVE MY COBLOGGER STEPHEN GREEN DOES THE SAME: Pigeons may be navigating with their liver, study suggests.

I’D VOLUNTEER TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE EXPERIMENTS, BUT. . . China is testing whether humans can reproduce in space.

VITAMIN D UPDATE: Vitamin D in milk is not equivalent to levels in rat poison.

HAHA:

STANDING UP TO HATE AND BIGOTRY: Silver lining’: NYU praised for rapid response after swastika flag raised on campus. And yet nobody’s punched Graham Platner yet.

Good for Anila Ali.

GRAFT. NEXT QUESTION? Why Do We Keep Wasting Money on ‘Renewable’ Technologies That Will Soon Be Outdated?

WELL, BYE: Gretchen Whitmer rules out running for president in 2028.

THERE IS NO GREATER SIN THAN STRAYING FROM THE DEMOCRATS’ PLANTATION. RAPE AND MURDER DON’T EVEN COME CLOSE.

So…

In the past year 50 NFL players have been arrested.

3% of the league.

None have caused the outrage Jaxon Dart did just introducing the Duly Elected POTUS.

Who won the Electoral College and Popular Vote.

Think about that.
