I’VE BECOME SUSPICIOUS OF HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL: Not all birth controls are equal, some are linked to higher risk of brain tumors, study finds. Though, as is often the case with these studies, the increase in risk isn’t huge.
THE ULTIMATE PROJECTION:
People in NYC used to say that Trump was "a poor person's idea of a rich person"–which was supposed to be a dunk and actually described his political appeal. Dems trying to tap that same populist energy instead selected a rich person's idea of a poor person. https://t.co/ihlW9oAiyh

EVERGREEN HEADLINES: Democrats: Addicted To Scumbags.
UPDATE:
One of the defining qualities of post-2010 elite media, culture, and academia is a crippling incapacity for basic social and psychological recognition.
Part of the reason for this is that elites come from a narrow, oversocialized milieu. Another big reason is that elite culture… https://t.co/Dae14iwPMr

“Another big reason is that elite culture (novels, films, etc) used to be brutally and unsparingly honest in its psychological depictions, and you could learn a lot from that and recognize all sorts of personalities you would encounter in real life. Post-2010 the purpose of culture has been to propagandize, lie, confuse, and dissemble on behalf of all sorts of inconvenient truths and now as a result elites tasked with sense making are poorly ‘educated’ to an unprecedented degree and don’t stand a chance in engineering the outcomes that they desire.”

RESHORING: Apple to invest $30 billion in US chip manufacturing. “The investment, in partnership with Broadcom, is set to produce 15 billion chips, creating hundreds of U.S. jobs. Broadcom’s facility in Fort Collins, Colorado, is expanding its capabilities to produce the chips.”
AI IS FREE SPEECH’S NEXT FRONTIER, OF COURSE POLITICIANS ARE REACHING FOR THE LEASH. Tyler Tone lays out why FIRE is fighting AI laws that could turn a tool for knowledge into a tool for political control.

NICE TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD, MR. PRESIDENT:
In which Trump finalizes the point before the whole world, which didn't believe it a month ago yet: the IRGC is too reckless and lunatic to be dealt with reasonably. Upper hand fully regained. https://t.co/IutxLiETTs

AN EXCELLENT QUESTION: Why is Gun Rights the Only Civil Right With a Federal Bureaucracy Purpose-Built to Regulate Its Exercise?
And a good reason to abolish the ATF.
THE NEEDS OF THE PARTY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, COMRADE: Democrats Already Vetted Graham Platner, Why Bail On Him Now?
He was vetted. People knew all these things and a whole bunch of Democrats in Maine showed up and voted for him anyway. And a bunch of from around the country sent him money anyway. I agree with Alyssa’s question. What changed? Why are you bailing on Graham Platner now? You already signed off on Nazi tattoo, a self-described communist somebody who’s had rape fantasies, somebody who has been on a social media platform known as a playground for predators, and on, and on, and on, and on and on.
And the difference between this accuser and the previous one is simply this, she’s a liberal. It’s okay, I guess, for Democrats that their candidates assault conservatives. But he broke into someone’s house. And apparently, according to her, raped her. And because her politics are correct, they can now believe it.
But they still can’t force him off the ticket if he doesn’t want to go — and the clock is ticking.
YES IT DOES:

On the flip side, Rob Province added this: “She lost her law license. Cant ever be a judge again. Has a felony. I’ll take it.”
Not everything you might have wanted, but more than you might have expected.

THEY ALWAYS HAVE BIG PLANS; THEY’RE JUST MORE OPEN ABOUT THEM NOW: Democratic socialists have big plans for 2028.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU DESPISE THE MEDIA…:
Worth noting that conservative outlets like the Free Beacon exposed his sham blue collar image long ago. Those facts were largely ignored by legacy media. Now that’s changed. A cynic might say it’s because he’s now seen as a threat to their partisan tribe’s power quest. https://t.co/7h7Xf48mhI

Well, I guess that makes me a cynic.
RESISTANCE IS NOT FUTILE. YET. Are we being assimilated?

DO AMERICANS KNOW WHO WE ARE? Lots of survey results in recent days prompted by the 250th July 4 celebration and, based on typical media reporting, it’s easy to conclude Americans, especially those in younger age brackets, have lost faith in the nation’s founding principles. Well, I say hold on there because that’s not the whole story. Check it out on The Washington Stand.
