Nonetheless, the French government is now trying to stop them with semi-automatic weapons and live ammunition.
If this happened in America, fortunately, we’d be shooting back.

The “Breaking News” About The FBI And Trump
My opinion:
The fact that the FBI opened an investigation into Trump the day after he canned Comey tells me a lot more about the FBI than it does about Trump.

The leadership of the FBI under Obama were apparently all dirty cops.

Watergate, by any other name. People should be prosecuted for this, and not just McCabe.
Trump’s Spelling Ability
Seth Tillman has some words for John McWhorter.
While Trump is not my cup of tea, and I don’t know if he’s actually ever even read a book, let alone written one, policy is more important than writing skill. BTW, I came up with another feature of both Trump and Obama that their supporters don’t recognize: They both love dictatorial thugs, just different ones. And here’s another, because I don’t think that Obama writes much, either (and I’m quite certain that the first book was ghost written, probably by Ayers).
Conservative Professors
Dunn described to Campus Reform how difficult it was to find conservative professors to include in their study.
“To actually find conservatives in several disciplines we had to use what’s called a snowball sample,” he said. “That method is used with difficult-to-locate populations like the homeless. I think it is both telling and ironic that we had to use it with conservatives. With a snowball sample, you find someone in the population you’re looking for and ask them where you could find more people like them.”
It’s samizdat.
Brexit
An explanation to George Will why it was a referendum.
The War On Keto
I guess Jillian Michaels is upset that people (literally) aren’t buying her BS.
Vitamin D
Do we actually need to get out in the sun even if we supplement?
Great. I supposed I should be taking nitric oxide, too, though.
The Wall
If the Democrats want to lose the fight, all they have to do is keep talking. The utter irrationality of their “arguments” has been breathtaking.
[Update a while later]
Shutdown stalemate as Republicans go factual, and Democrats go illogical.

The week in pictures, government-shutdown edition.
[Update a few more minutes later]
The stupidest argument of the week.
It’s stiff competition.
How it screwed over James Damore.
Looks to me like a good basis for a lawsuit, from a company with very deep pockets.
Captain Marvel
Which one is better?
Not having read a comic since I was an adolescent, I’m insufficiently nerdy to have an opinion, but Treacher takes on the crucial issue.
