MOST NORMAL OR WHOLESOME THINGS TRIGGER THEM:  WHCD: Displays of Normal American Masculinity Triggers The Left.

LONG OVERDUE:  Trump fires the entire governing board of the National Science Foundation.

WHEN WE SAY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA ARE ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE*? THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN:  What radicalized him were the same talking points repeated every day on the left.

X-cancel.

*Not exclusively. They’re also enemies of all decency afflicted with an obsessive nostalgie de la boue. And all too often acting like hostis humani generis.
If you’re in the MSM and don’t like that characterization, stop reporting on fever dreams from a parallel universe and licking the… er… boots of the Democrats on their slip slide into communism.

IT’S NOT ALL HUMANS, LAWDOG:  White House Correspondent’s Dinner.

I’m not sure it’s even all leftists*. It’s leftists right here and now. They’re out of their raving little minds.

*Yes I know their principles are terrible and lead to utter horror, but people are really good at ignoring such stuff.

THE AMORALITY IS BIZARRE. HE NEVER MENTIONS THE MOST OBVIOUS REASON NOT TO STEAL: Because it’s wrong. In every major religion of the world, which are — if nothing else — a distillation of all human wisdom and what works, theft is wrong.  Why shoplifting is bad. It may feel like a small act of rebellion, but it hurts a lot of people who don’t deserve it.

AND HERE I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY THAT WHEN MY BLUE TOOTH CONNECTION WAS GLITCHING IT COULDN’T FIND MY HEADPHONES, BUT KEPT FINDING MY HUSBAND’S SMART TOOTHBRUSH:  The Smallest Things.

IT’S RAZOR FIST:  It Happened Again. (Video)

AN ANALYSIS:  The Southern Poverty Law Center indictment.  It looks like deserved karma for race-huckstering grifters, but is it a legitimate fraud case?

I BELIEVE IT:  I’m seeing a correlation. Looks to me like the people in open source who are anti-AI are pretty much the same people who were completely captured by the woke mind virus.

X-cancel.

THIS IS WHY IQ* BY ITSELF IS USELESS AS A MEASURE OF A PERSON:  Cole Allen is the Dunning-Kruger Assassin. Allen is not some random nut job from the fringes of society. He’s a very articulate graduate of Caltech, which means he has a high degree of native intelligence. He’s in the education profession. He is on BlueSky. He goes to No Kings protests. He’s your basic rank-and-file Democrat. But it’s that high native intellect that led him astray.

X-cancel.

Horse sense understanding of humans is at least as important. And not being by personality a patsy is more important.

*No. I don’t say it to compensate for anything. Nice try. I can give you my Mensa card number. It’s been expired for 20 years, but the test doesn’t expire. It is because of it that I understand the limits of the measurement.

THEY’RE JOINED AT THE HIP TO THEIR OWN AGITPROP LIES NOW:

Yeah, they're not going to do that. Too invested. Alienate their base.

Some things to too false but true to be acknowledged as false.

You're asking pathological liars to admit they are pathological liars. Not gonna happen. https://t.co/23pxJYQnsf

MICROBIOME NEWS: Gut Bacteria Could Be a Hidden Trigger For Neurodegenerative Diseases.

TAKE TWO AND CALL ME IN THE MORNING: A common medication may be taking on an unexpected role in cancer care. “What if a cheap, everyday painkiller could help keep cancer from coming back after surgery? New clinical trial results suggest that for some patients with colorectal cancer, aspirin may do exactly that. In a study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden, patients with colorectal cancer who took a daily low dose of aspirin after surgery were far less likely to see their disease return, but only if their tumors carried specific genetic changes.”

HISTORY DOESN’T REPEAT, BUT IT DOES RHYME:

Now is a good time to familiarize yourself with the prelude to the Spanish Civil War

An old colleague got into prepping after Obama’s election in 2008, saying, long-term, he didn’t see how we got out of where the Democrats were taking us without bloodshed.

THE LEFT KEEPS THEM WOUND UP UNTIL SOMEBODY SNAPS:

Van Jones: we have to stop with this kind of violence, on all side….
No. There is no ALL SIDES political violence epidemic in this country. There is a left-wing violence problem and pretending it's ALL SIDES doesn't help solve the issue.
