Does federal law require post-2020 woke ideology at national parks? Yes, per Judge Kelley (Biden D. Mass). She orders it *illegal* for National Parks not to share exhibits with her preferred views on the climate, sexuality, and race. I'm skeptical!

If humans were to adopt monkey economics, we too could enjoy the luxury and wealth of monkey civilization.
in nature if a monkey hoarded 1 trillion bananas the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas

The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward.
I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress.
When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment.
Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks.
They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around.
Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits?
The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.

This order would flunk every part of an administrative law exam. There’s no standing. Plaintiffs have no cause of action. The matter is clearly committed to agency discretion by law. The judge is substituting her own judgment for that of agency. It’s pure lawlessness—and an indication why, properly understood, the APA does not authorize individual district judges to afford nationwide relief.

Maybe the lesson here is not to study economics via a children’s board game.
There’s literally a children’s board game whose whole premise is showing how free market capitalism ends with one person owning everything while everyone else goes bankrupt.

Whole list is cooked. A.I. is easily one of his worst movies and it’s several rungs higher than Saving Private Ryan?

I know Steven Spielberg has made a ton of classics, but ranking RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK his *14th* best movie strikes me as bizarre.
(The 14th best movie of all time, maybe.)

So far in 2026: We’ve had TEAM USA win Gold in hockey. We’ve had astronauts circling the moon. We’ve got the World Cup here. We have UFC at the White House. Everyone is getting skinny. We’re curing pancreatic cancer. It’s America’s 250th.

You can tell what a censorious hellhole Musk has turned Twitter into by the number of people running around openly insulting him on the platform, decrying him as evil and demanding that his money be taken away and redistributed, who aren’t being punished in any way. 1984 stuff

Homeownership maintenance tip: write on everything. Write the installation date right on the unit. Write the breaker number circuit info on new wiring. Write the breaker number on the back of outlet face plates. Write on the junction boxes in the basement. Write the date on the furnace every time it's serviced.

My favorite "witch hunt" for fraud was Bob Dornan's 1996 House campaign. Dem Loretta Sanchez finished ahead by 984 votes. Dornan cried foul, but a bipartisan Congressional inquiry found only 748 illegal votes--624 from non-citizens. Nothing to see there! cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1998/02/…

I have not yet read the full trial transcript. But so far, I do know this. Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors —that they were teachers—appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial. His trial lawyer allowed in opinion evidence that should have been struck. He also seemed unable to appreciate and counter the impact of racial overtones in that case. Those overtones are clear even on Twitter commentary as folks seek to paint Metcalf as having no culpability in what happened and Karmelo as a complete monster. The facts on how the matter escalated are more complicated than that. He and they had no such authority. They are also apparent in the statements that seek to deputize Metcalf and other kids with authority to remove Anthony. They had none and initiated the conflict. That does not mean they should have been killed but it means they have explaining to do. The lawyer for Anthony apparently did not require that explaining. It is fair to ask how the Anthony’s ended up selecting that lawyer.
The trial judge must be disqualified in any new trial if he actually gave an interview about the case before the appeal was considered. He has negatively affected the appeal rights of the defendant. He should know better. He should also be disqualified if he has any relationship with the Metcalf side.
In a criminal trial, the prosecution has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant does not have to prove he is not guilty. Those rules apply to everyone. They apply to Anthony.
Community note
The Sixth Amendment guarantees criminal defendants the right to an impartial jury comprised of citizens from the state and district where the crime was committed. Nowhere does it mention race.

Is anybody really surprised Obama's building is a financial debacle and that contractors are claiming they didn't get paid what they are owed?

The more that is uncovered about the Federal Judicial Center’s “neutral” reference manual for judges, the worse it gets. The ideological capture is on full display.
FJC staffers with a history of left-wing advocacy and ties to the leftist American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) contributed to the infamous biased climate science chapter.
