I hate to break it to the lady in the bonus meme, but marijuana is the wrong answer. "Getting stoned" means something very different to a Muslim.
I think we've reached peak strange when a hedonistic music festival/rave gets attacked by violent religious bigots, and the Democrats, the party of hedonistic behavior, support the violent bigots. Upon further reflection, it is likely that things will get even stranger.
She realizes that that's not what he meant in asking the next question. Your second sentence is on-target, including that the fact the the festival was hedonistic. And stupid. So, tell us why you think Israel does not allow its non-military citizens to carry any kind of guns at all. I do not understand that stance in the most besieged country on Earth, especially one surrounded by hateful fanatics with FULLY- automatic rifles.

Quantum weirdness impacting gravity makes sense. OK it makes as much sense as listening to a physicist ever does. But what's worse than listening to one physicist is listening to two physicists.
Cleaning the kitchen and catching up on my mail, I actually listened to both the Ricochet podcast with James Lileks, Charles Cooke, Steve H., and guest H.R. McMaster and the 3WHH. Lileks has a lovely speaking voice; Steve Hayward asks specific, educated questions; and McMaster successfully (mostly) hid his disdain for Trump.
I was interested in the fact that both podcasts discussed Helen Andrews’ piece. I am still of the opinion (not discussed very much) that aspects of feminization are simply congruent with the aims of Critical Theory Marxism, just as aspects of Islamism are. If they are not adequately pushed back, at some point, there will be a face-off between critical theory proponents and Islamists.
McMaster said he didn’t know any woke Generals or Admirals. You would think, in his position, that he would know a lot of Generals and Admirals, but evidently he isn’t personally acquainted with very many.
It's interesting that the climate crap is maybe, all of a sudden, as dead as an eagle that got struck by a turbine blade. When it's become obvious to everyone that the reality described by rational people decades ago turns out to be true (no such thing as a free lunch with energy), and that tidal waves aren't knocking down our skyscrapers and the planet isn't incinerating, that maybe all of the talk for the past 20-30 years was just that - a lot of talk from people who stood to profit immensely from alarmism.
It'll take decades to undo the indoctrination, but it's coming.
Anyone with a modicum of sense (democrats need not apply) would realize that it takes more energy to manufacture a windmill than it will ever produce in its working life. It's worse than a zero sum game when they're wasting energy, that will never be recouped, to build those blights on the landscape.
I believe there are RICO type investigations into the funding of the Antifa and such type creatures and if there is NOT at connection I'm a donkey. (spoiler alert, I'm not a donkey)
The cost of competing in a world of hot takes and short attention spans. Unless you plan to roll out your method of undoing the modern culture of outrage politics, this is how things work for now.
Regarding Fuentes: I'm fairly online and have observed some of the discourse about him (have never listened to him directly) by the younger Gen Ys & Xs. He comes across as a young punk, with simplistic takes, however Lucretia nailed it; younger white men in particular are drawn to him because they are so sick of being the left's whipping boys, they are latching on to him because - as they see it - he fights for them.
As for Candace Owens: she is charismatic, attractive, said all the right(wing) things and ... is a rage bait grifter. There were people pointing this out early on (e.g. black conservative Youtuber Anthony Brian Logan) and in retrospect there were warning signs.
Both of these examples go to show how easy it is for people on both the left AND right to uncritically outsource their thinking to the Tucker Carlsons, Fuentes, Owens et al.
PS, Professor Steve: the REAL headline of the week is Vietnam's government declaring that communism is dead in Vietnam. No joke. Not a BB headline either. The truth. After 50 years, the war in Vietnam has been vindicated. China's hopes of dominating Southeast Asia were stopped in Vietnam even though we did not realize that that was what was happening (I did way back then as a young aide to a Senator because I saw that China was not willing to intervene on behalf of fellow Communists in Vietnam). But now China is trying to do the same thing via dominance of the seas there (South China Sea and the far-western Pacific Ocean) to the chagrin of the Philippines, Japan and South Korea. The Chinese, like the Muslims, play a very, very long game. The West worries about quarterly profits and transvestites.
Dear Professor: the "headline" about the Swedish politician is 8 years old. She was only 1/2 Swedish, the other 1/2 being Chilean and she was left in a grave without her head in 2017. She worked for the UN and it is still looking for her head and its present owners. The headline should have been "the UN still working on finding world piece".
Like looks, a repulsive personality repertory is inherited. Criticizing someone for "what's on the inside" is just another dimension of lookism. The fairy godmother in that plain princess tale is a Maybe it's Maybelline rep.
Steve - The Buckley Institute prefers to advertise your affiliation with Pepperdine, rather than UC Berkeley when they are promoting their annual conference?
As a Cal grad I am most disappointed that you let them get away with that. Your conservative credentials are burnished due to your affiliation and existence on the Berkeley campus. Its like having a Charlie Kirk/Turning Point operative permanently lodged in the belly of the radical left beast.
I've actually departed from Berkeley (actually the political science department "departed" me), though I still have an inactive affiliation with the Law School. But I'm full time at Pepperdine now.
I'm sure it's a short list -- can you identify any faculty left at the entire university that is trad conservative or populist conservative besides John?
Or would that be like outing gay spies and diplomats during the 1950s?

I had read that Israel modified their stance to more freely allow civilian carry of firearms after 10/7, but don't know if it's true.
You are correct, thank God! Better late than never.
I have no idea, other than they are a Western country, subject to Western myths.
Or worse...normalized?

"And in the best fashion of Helen Andrews, I ran the episode even though it was Lucretia’s turn on the host rotation calendar."
We, The Patriarchy, are so back.
Regarding the headline about Bill Kristol's choice for mayor of NYC, my comment would have been, "And this is news?"
Quantum weirdness impacting gravity makes sense. OK it makes as much sense as listening to a physicist ever does. But what's worse than listening to one physicist is listening to two physicists.
I actually love it when physicists argue with each other — they’re so passionate!
But I can only hazard the smallest guess about what quantum weirdness is.
It's like regular weirdness but we don't know where it is.
Or if it is.
Or if it is right now. The whole concept describes lost objects that sometimes cease to exist.

Do we get our money back? We need it now to jump aboard the AI craze with suitable gusto.
Maybe Bondi should open an Arctic Frost style investigation of the Democrat party and their collaborators. Fight fire with fire.

Several donkeys were unharmed by this posting, and went on to their normal routines of donkeying.
Your comment deserves very high Brays.
The cost of competing in a world of hot takes and short attention spans. Unless you plan to roll out your method of undoing the modern culture of outrage politics, this is how things work for now.
When the political scene gets this nutty, does it point to citizen insanity? What fixes this in the short term we're now in?

So Lucretia has been dis-administrative-role-ised by her university, Steve has been "departed" by his university.
Will John be next?
If you listen very carefully, I think you can tell what is slowly afoot.
I shall be listening very soon ...
No. He has his head properly planted where the neo-cons like it.
I'm sure it's a short list -- can you identify any faculty left at the entire university that is trad conservative or populist conservative besides John?
Or would that be like outing gay spies and diplomats during the 1950s?
Did they throw you a party?
