STUDIOUSLY IGNORED:

“Why aren’t we talking about this?”

To ask the question is to answer it.

NICE WORK, FELLAS: U.S. Troops Help Capture Narcos In Ecuador. “The drug war has long been thought to be unwinnable, but Democrats also swore up and down that the border was unsecurable as well. Here, as in so many areas, the Trump Administration refuses to be bound by conventional wisdom. CJNG has American blood on its hands, and the U.S. has been partnering with Ecuador to fight the drug trade since 2025.”

But, yeah, that’s the end game.

YOU GO, GIRL: More Than the ‘Assault Weapons’ SCOTUS Case, THIS is What Terrifies the Gun Control Industry Most of All.

“In recent years, women made up almost half of all new gun owners, a striking shift from the historical norm, when women accounted for about 24 percent of gun owners,” Rosanna Smart and Andrew R. Morral of the RAND Corporation recently wrote. “After more than a decade of stable gun ownership, women’s ownership rose starkly between 2018 and 2021, going from 10 percent of adult women owning guns in 2018 to 15 percent in 2021, then up again slightly to 16 percent by 2024.”

They add that the big surge in women’s gun ownership has occurred since 2018 and, almost without exception, is seen across the board without regard to race, age, income, party identification, or education. Men, too, have bought guns amidst record firearms sales boosted by the chaos of 2020, though not to the same transformative extent as women. As broad demand for the means of self-defense has put the lie to the already overstated argument that gun ownership was a passing fixation of rural white men, women have rushed to take advantage of the empowering technology.

Firearms are the great equalizer.

IF IT’S BEEN MODIFIED, WE MIGHT FIND OUT IN A NOT-SO-NICE WAY:

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: It Feels Like It Should Be Easier to Defeat Abdul El-Sayed. “What the heck is going on here in Michigan? I’ve been here for over seven weeks this time, most of it spent in Ann Arbor, which is the off-the-deep-end leftist crazy zone in the state. I knew that Abdul El-Sayed fever would be strong here. Indeed, the place is polluted with ‘Sayed’ yard signs. I don’t know why they have dropped the ‘El’ for the signs. Just noticing that probably makes me Islamophobic or something.”

A TRIAL LAWYER WEIGHS IN:

“But that’s not what the leftists and feminists want to do here. That’s not what New York Gov. Kathy Hochul wanted done by appointing New York Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor. Hochul had already framed the young woman as a victim who was ‘literally gang raped,’ and said she deserves to have ‘justice pursued.’ Her catspaw James is supposed to run an objective criminal investigation? That’s a travesty. She has her marching orders, and she will march accordingly.”

DELTA’S WIFI HAS ALWAYS SUCKED LIKE A BILGE PUMP, SO THEY SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR AN EASY FIX: The Delta Airlines — Starlink Feud.

I normally don’t use airline wifi because I enjoy a break from the Internet. But when I need it, Delta isn’t there for me. It literally fails to connect half the time. And when it does connect it’s slow and sad.

Meanwhile, Elon is having fun.

THAT WON’T STOP THEM, FIRST OPPORTUNITY VOTERS ARE SILLY ENOUGH TO GIVE THEM: 6 In 10 Americans Oppose Democrats’ Plan To Pack The Supreme Court.

The new poll asked respondents: “Would you support or oppose an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Called ‘Keep Nine’ Which States: ‘The Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine justices?’”

Amongst all respondents, nearly 64 percent supported the amendment while nearly 18 percent opposed it. When broken down among party lines, 46 percent of Democrats support the Keep Nine Amendment and 54 percent of independents support it.

Yet despite the public favoring keeping the court at nine justices by a more than 3-1 margin, Democrats are promising to expand the court should they take back power.

Vote as though your life, liberty, and property depend upon it.

ICYMI: USA TODAY BRINGS COMMON SENSE: The ‘Cornell 7’ haven’t been charged. The mob doesn’t care: What’s most troubling in the Cornell University rape allegations is that onlookers have already made up their minds about who is to blame. “The pictures of these young men who have not been charged, not been adjudicated, are being plastered all over the internet. I think people are reporting this story inaccurately. I think they are reporting it unfairly. And while this is something that we have to take very seriously, there is no way, according to her statement in 2024, that any prosecutor would have brought this court case.”

The important part is activating the Dems’ psychotic-women base between now and election day.

JONATHAN TURLEY: The blue-state model for education has failed, and the public has caught on. “New polling shows that K-12 education has now reached a record low in the number of people who are even “somewhat satisfied” with the state of education in the U.S. What is most troubling is that the near-total contempt for our school system does not make a bit of difference. Families and students have become largely irrelevant to an education cartel, a self-sustaining, self-perpetuating political alliance of unions and politicians.”
