Google And Facebook
They’re entering their toxic endgame.
I try to minimize my engagement with both of them, but with an Android phone, it’s hard to avoid Google. But I’ll never download or use an app for Facebook.
[Saturday-morning update]
The useful idiots of Silicon Valley.
They’re wrecked California, and now there’s a danger that they’ll do the same thing to the rest of the country.

Trump’s KulturKamph
I continue to believe that he could be even more effective if he were able to turn down the volume of the Trump. He’s his own worst enemy.

Not sure what they mean by “minor” key here, but whatever it is turns an uplifting jingle for a sitcom into a ballad.

Bob Zimmerman is wondering if it’s starting to show cracks.

Thoughts on the Left’s scorched-earth strategy.
Meadow’s Father
“Guns didn’t kill my daughter; Democrat policies did.”
I would be at least as outraged as he is.

A Sci-Tech Symposium
…at which whites need not apply.
A Basement Discovery
…undermines decades of crap dietary advice:
Analyzing the reams of old records, Ramsden and his team found, in line with the “diet-heart hypothesis,” that substituting vegetable oils lowered total blood cholesterol levels, by an average of 14 percent.
But that lowered cholesterol did not help people live longer. Instead, the lower cholesterol fell, the higher the risk of dying: 22 percent higher for every 30-point fall. Nor did the corn-oil group have less atherosclerosis or fewer heart attacks.
I’m scheduling a follow up with my cardiologist. I’m guessing that he’ll probably want to put me on statins, despite my clean bill of health from my angio scan, because my total cholesterol is a little over 240. I’ll tell him to take a hike.
The Insanity At The Dem Debate
Blame academia.

Bobby Frank O’Rourke: “Hell yes I’m going to violate my oath to defend and protect the Constitution.“
And yes, vicious scapegoating is the point of Beto’s attempted gun grab.
