My former (and perhaps future) editor Adam Keiper reviews Jonah Goldberg’s new book

Juanita Broaddrick
…commemorates a terrible anniversary.
There is a whole young generation that has no idea how immoral and corrupt Bill and Hillary Clinton are. Now that the ice has been broken with Chappaquidick, I’d like to see a mini-series on their crimes in the 90s that the media refused to cover at the time.
The House IT Scandal
Though I guess it’s not a scandal, like all of Obama’s scandals weren’t scandals, because the media refuses to report it.
[Update a few minutes later]
Another story the media finds uninteresting: The Clinton campaign illegally laundered $84M.
Preventing Aging
Is it mathematically impossible?
I haven’t read the article in detail, but I doubt it. I suspect they’re going after a straw man.
The Web And Social Media
I’ve never abandoned this blog, but I have been posting to it a lot less, for a number of reasons (less time, other outlets). I didn’t move to Facebook, but I do spend a lot more time on Twitter.
John Hinderaker says it was a mistake for conservatives to move from the web to social media. Glenn has also noted recently that the old days of blogging were a lot more free wheeling, with less ability of the left to control it. Anyway, I’ll try to do more here.
The Hidden Legacy Of Columbine
…is ignorance about school violence, that has resulted in more of it.
Gorsuch And The Administrative State
Along with the “liberals” on the court, he just struck a blow against it. As Will says, it would be nice to see the conservative justices see the light. But I suspect many conservatives will rail against him, calling him a “liberal,” “soft on crime and illegal aliens.”
[Update a while later]
This seems related: The SEC’s administrative judge scandal. I’d love to see this sort of thing struck down as unconstitutional. Same with the IRS tax court.
Candace Owens
Now I understand why Obama thought that Kanye West was “a jackass.” It’s because he doesn’t march in lockstep with the Left and the grievance industry.
[Monday-morning update]
On the other hand, Cathy Young isn’t impressed with Candace (to say the least).
Oh, sorry. Candace. I followed her activities at the time of her previous venture.https://t.co/tzK3xsYm5uhttps://t.co/01OSoc13T9https://t.co/5UBJo5EyDl

Guns For Self Defense
The data the CDC didn’t want you to see.
Didn’t fit the narrative.
The DNC’s Lawsuit
The legal term for it “is bats**t crazy.”
Either the Dems really are nuts (not beyond the realm of possibility; Trump has driven many so far around the bend they need a JWST to see the bend from there), or this is a desperate fundraising ploy. Or (of course) both.
[Update a few minutes later]
The DNC is “on the verge” of a nervous breakdown? I think that ship sailed months ago:
Democratic strategist (apologize for that rancid term) Julius Epstein, looking justifiably anxious on Shannon Bream’s show Friday night, tried to argue this was a great opportunity for the Democrats to expose folks like Manafort and Kushner through discovery.
Good luck with that. Discovery in this matter would be disastrous for the Democratic Party. Wait until their leaders have to go on the stand to explain why the FBI wasn’t allowed to scrutinize the DNC servers that were supposedly invaded by the Russians. A raft of Democrat political factotums (Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, etc.) who made sweetheart deals and escaped true investigation by the FBI, perhaps even Hillary herself, will find themselves facing serious cross-examination for the first time. This civil trial would be curiously reminiscent of the OJ civil trial when the real truth came out. Wouldn’t you love to hear Strzok and Page deposed? How about Susan Rice?
Expect this to be dropped long before discovery.
