LET’S BE HONEST, CBS HOST’S ONLY HAVE TALKING POINTS:   GOP Senator Shuts Down a CBS News Host’s Talking Points on LA Riots in Less Than 90 Seconds.

THEY ARE…. WHAT’S THAT TERM? OH, YEAH, IDIOTS:   No Heart – Ann & Nancy Wilson Object To Army Using Barracuda.

IF I HAVE TO SPELL THIS OUT, THE TEACHER’S UNION IS IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S POCKET:  DNC Chair Thought David Hogg’s Departure Would End His Woes, But Another Shoe Just Dropped.

Abolish the certification authorities, abolish the education department. Set education free and make it local. And if you’re a parent, and you can at all contrive it, take your kids out of the schools. Bring them home to teach.

APPARENTLY BEING OBEYED:  IDF Issues Evacuation Order for Tehran Ahead of Possible Strike.

GUYS…. I READ A LOT OF STRANGE STUFF IN MY MISSPENT YOUTH: I don’t want it to serve as a script, though.  What Exactly is Going on in Antarctica?

AH, CALIFORNIA:  Final Evacuation Order Finally Lifted Almost 6 Months after Palisades Wildfire Disaster.

PEOPLE HAVE NOTED THE MSM IS LYING AND ARE VOTING WITH THEIR FEET:   Social media now main source of news in US, research suggests.

Remember all of these authors are willing to be linked on my blog, despite my shocking non-woke opinions.

OPEN THREAD: Because I love you and want you to be happy.

WE NEED TO DEVELOP ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY AND ANTIGRAVITY: Why space wrecks the human body.

SHOULD HE HAVE SPOKEN?

This flight from reality is not a new feature of political life. It is always easier to bequeath a problem to your successors than to face it yourself, and when the problem is intractable, Doublethink will soon erase it, as Hitler was erased from the thoughts of the appeasers, and the Gulag from the political map of the peaceniks. Nor are American presidents any more realistic than the rest of us. When the embassy in Tehran was invaded and United States citizens taken hostage, President Carter chose not to notice what was, certainly de facto and probably de jure, a declaration of war. That may prove to have been the costliest mistake made by America in the Middle East. Likewise, the silencing of Enoch Powell has proved more costly than any other post-war domestic policy in Britain, since it has ensured that immigration can be discussed only now, when it is too late to do anything about it or to confine it to those who come in a spirit of obedience towards the indigenous law.

No place on the planet has ever in history been better for white progressive women with bullshit college degrees than America in 2025, and there's no place in time they hate more.

THE IDF SEEMS TO HAVE A HANDLE ON THINGS BUT IT’S NICE TO BE PREPARED IN CASE THE MULLAHS GET FRISKY WITH OUR PEOPLE: Uncle Sam Assembles A Big Stick. “A major military airlift appears to now be underway, as an unprecedented number of U.S. Air Force KC-135 and KC-46 Aerial-Refueling Tankers have departed from airbases across the United States and appear to be preparing to cross the Atlantic towards Europe.”

ADVICE TO BRITONS:

So make them fear you. https://t.co/oDoYkhxU4l

— @instapundit (@instapundit) June 16, 2025

Honestly, I think their worst fear is an uprising by native Britons, which is why they’ve used a mixture of misinformation and intimidation to keep the response suppressed. But at this point I can imagine politicians hanging from lampposts.

FLASHBACK: QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED IN THE SAME HEADLINE: Fewer teens having sex, doing drugs but more are depressed.

NAMASTE, NOW OBEY: The velvet glove of virtue signaling.

IT’S ALWAYS IN THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK: Scientists find universe’s missing matter while watching fast radio bursts shine through ‘cosmic fog.’ “This previously missing stuff isn’t dark matter, the mysterious substance that accounts for around 85% of the material universe but remains invisible because it doesn’t interact with light. Instead, it is ordinary matter made out of atoms (composed of baryons) that does interact with light but has until now just been too dark to see.”

Dark matter always felt like a kludge to me.
