So…High School kids from two different schools get into a dispute at a sports event. It’s the sort of thing that happens every day because, well, High School. No punches were thrown, which is good. But one of the students is stabbed in the heart, which isn’t. According to...
It was only a few weeks ago that the company Colossal Biosciences revealed that it had inserted some Woolly Mammoth genes into mice to create mice with Woolly coats. ???? First ‘woolly mouse’ paves way for return of the mammoth Rodents genetically engineered to have shaggy fur and the...
Did the Supreme Court rebuke district court judges in a ‘landmark’ ruling yesterday? Or did they narrowly split the baby on procedural grounds? John wrote last night about the 5-4 decision to vacate a TRO by Judge James Boasberg that had halted deportation proceedings under the Alien Enemies Act. Today, Attorney General Pam Bondi...
In one of my posts yesterday, I went over how the French and German governments’ heavy-handed treatment – in some cases, outright persecution – of ‘right-wing’ parties and their members was backfiring on the establishment pretty spectacularly. It has to be maddening to the Brahmins of Brussels and their...
The past week has reminded everyone about two sure-fire ways to lose money in the stock market: Buying … and selling. That’s even more true when doing either in a panic. And that’s especially true when using the stock market as a casino rather than as a vehicle for long-term investment. ...
Dr. Peter Marks is being treated as a hero for standing up to RFK, Jr., but in any normal universe the bureaucrat would be treated as a pariah. Forget for the moment that Marks is hardly the self-sacrificing saint and expert people claim he is, and get down to brass tacks about why he...
You can’t take ‘man on the street’ interviews TOO seriously. They serve as a great way to amuse yourself or to feel much smarter than others, but to maintain my integrity, I have to admit that there is always a lot of cherry-picking to get the juiciest bits. On...
Hint: It ain’t the one with the mirror on the wall. Not by a long shot. That film didn’t even score a bronze this weekend. First, though, let’s focus the film that did take the gold medal. The much-anticipated A Minecraft Movie expertly leveraged its gamer IP into a blockbuster opening weekend. The estimated gross...
I’m not sure what President Trump’s precise tariff plans are at this point but the general goal seems to be to renegotiate trade deals with countries around the world in ways that made trade more favorable to the US. Here’s what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said yesterday on Meet the Press. ...
Okay. So there’s a bridge, a bridge too far, and then there’s just tossing yourself off one without thinking twice. That’s pretty much what the head of the Democratic National Committee, one soy boy named Ken Martin, decided he would do earlier today. The spark that lit little Ken’s...
I just happened to run across a statistic that made my jaw drop. I poked around a bit and it was everywhere. Google is filled with “news” stories going back a week, the New York Times originally ran with it until revising their story, and it showed up on Mentour Pilot, one of my...
Last week a group of Columbia student activists chained themselves to gates to make demands of the school, specifically that it name the person who gave information of Mahmoud Khalil to ICE. The protest started Wednesday afternoon and the activists vowed to stay until their demands were met. LOCATION...
There were a couple of things that reminded me of one afternoon from my misspent teenage years, being a good big sister taking Bingley to the movies and that scene in the original Star Wars. If you look at General Tarken and European Union President Ursula Von der...
The resistance is back. Liberals put together some large protests over the weekend in several cities around the country. There are claims that as many as 600,000 people participated but that’s really just a guess. Demonstrators had no shortage of causes as they gathered in towns and cities across...
