Coffee
Yet another study on its supposed benefits.
They lose me right off the bat when they compare it to the “benefits” of the Mediterranean diet. I don’t think there is any value at all in restricting red meat and fat intake.
Anyway, I suspect that even if the correlation is causation, it’s not clear that it will work for everyone. If coffee has no discernible effect on me (which it doesn’t) other than making me brush my teeth more to get rid of the foul aftertaste, then it seems unlikely that I will derive any health benefits from choking the swill down.
Biden Has A Weak Hand
Some game theory from Nate Silver.
I’m not sure why he doesn’t mention what to me is an obvious way to force Biden out. All they have to do is say that they’re going to “realize” that there actually is a lot of evidence of family corruption, and it would be very sad if they were to start to agree with the Republicans about it, but what are you going to do? Does Nate not discuss this because he really believes it doesn’t exist, or because he doesn’t want to give it credence himself?

The Democrats
…have gone full Soviet.
Pretty sure, though, that this is a typo: “…the Neo-Bolsheviks, with or without General Secretary Joe, of America’s USSR party will surrender. They will scorch the earth from sea to shining sea if that’s what it takes.”
That first sentence is pretty clearly missing a “not.”

The conspiracy of silence to hide the president’s decline.
At some point these people will have to answer to what they foisted on us.
