MANY KINDS OF CONVENTIONS:  Convention.

IF ONLY THERE WERE SOMEONE IN THE STATE EMPOWERED TO WATCH FOR SUCH SCHEMES:  ‘State sanctioned’ Russian mob ran $1B Medicare scam out of New York, compromised 1M medical records: Feds.

POSSIBLY – BUT THE COST WILL WORSE THAN ALLOWING THE EVOLUTION UNIMPEDED:  Can anything slow the crushing wheels of the digital revolution?

DAILY AND WITH GREATER EMPHASIS THAN BASIC LITERACY OR NUMERACY:  How ideologues indoctrinate your children with the connivance of the state.

I’VE NO CONFIDENCE IN REPUBLICANS’ ABILITY TO READ A MAP:  Justice Kavanaugh May Have Handed the United States a Roadmap to Fix Birthright Citizenship.

POPULAR IN HER CIRCLE, AT ANY RATE:  Rep. Jayapal Insists Socialism Is Popular, Despite Losing Working-Class Voters.

IS MOST OF OUR DEBT FRAUD?  Illegal Alien In America Sentenced To 8 Years In Prison Over $89 Million Fraudulent Payroll Scheme.

IT’S BIGGER… AND WE’RE INSIDE IT:  Chanda data finds the Milky Way is bigger in size than previously believed.

INTERESTING. BUT THE LEFT JUST WANTED US TO GIVE UP EGGS:   ‘Big Egg’ Busted! DOJ Settlement Alleges Price Coordination Amid Bird Flu Panic.  Settlement involving 3 firms forces egg producers to donate millions of eggs to food banks pay $3.3 million in civil penalties.

No, I’m not about to forget they called us “treatlers” because we wanted affordable eggs. As though buying something we pay for with our own earnings were like a kid begging for treats. I will never forget.

I GAVE UP ON THEM IN THE LATE EIGHTIES:  Scientific American Sold as Publisher Divests Itself of the Bud Light of Science Journals.

THE RECRUITING OF FOREIGN-BORN PEOPLE FOR PUBLIC OFFICE:  Foreign-born political actors. The story about AOC’s casting to run for congress is way too real to be ignored.

Despite being foreign born myself, I think we should be barred from state or federal office. Too many cultural rats in most of those heads.

FOR REAL?  Ayanle Siad Barre, the son of former Somali genocidal dictator, Mohamed Siad Barre, operates a taxpayer-funded home healthcare company in Columbus, Ohio He was his father’s national security advisor. It just never ends.

X-cancel.

CORRECT:  The way to protect our software and computer systems from attack is not to prevent people from having access to AI models that can find security holes. That is just a way of shooting the messenger. It is to find the security holes as quickly as possible and get rid of them.

YES, IT WILL BE MORE WORK, BUT:  Stop Rending your garments.

THE NEW SPACE RACE: ‘Titan is actually a very reasonable destination for humans’: Scientists start mapping out crewed mission to huge Saturn moon.

IT’S NOT JUST THE WORLD CUP: The Decline of Germany: Football humiliation isn’t the only kind. “The refugee crisis of 2015-2016 ‘transformed’ politics within the country, according to Hans Kundnani, a senior research fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London, who told Newsweek that the AfD’s continued rise points to ‘massive backlash against non-white immigration.'”

THE HIERARCHY OF COMPASSION: Who Counts?

Pete Buttigieg and his family should never have endured a malicious false report that brought police and Child Protective Services to their home, temporarily separated him from his young children, and forced his family through a needless ordeal. Authorities quickly determined the allegations were baseless.

The bipartisan condemnation that followed was appropriate. Political leaders from across the country spoke with one voice. Commentators expressed outrage. The message was unmistakable: there are lines that should never be crossed.

They were right.

But watching the response unfold left me asking a question I have carried since my daughter Katie was killed.

Why does our political class know exactly how to respond when one of its own is harmed, yet struggle to summon the same moral urgency when ordinary Americans are actually buried?

That is when I realized America has created a hierarchy of compassion.

It is not a hierarchy of human worth. Every life has equal value. It is a hierarchy of political attention, and in modern America, attention often determines whether anyone asks the questions that might prevent the next tragedy.

Read the whole thing.

The thing about Buttigieg is that he structured his entire life around becoming an acceptable white male Democrat candidate for POTUS. Ivy League, non combat military, homosexual, gay marriage – then he deliberately adopted black children.

This is so weird it’s disqualifying. https://t.co/ZupP0f0d42

ANDY NGO: BREAKING: North Texas Antifa Members Who Turned on Their Comrades Receive Years in Federal Prison. “Seven more convicted members of a North Texas Antifa terror cell were sentenced Wednesday in federal court, less than two weeks after one of the convicts allegedly attempted to kill herself while in custody. U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman and Chief U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor handed down the sentences in Fort Worth following last week’s 450-year prison sentence, a historic punishment of the Antifa group’s first batch of trial defendants.”
