Another article about the medical and ethical issues. Too bad it doesn’t point out the need for a gravity lab.

The Paleo Diet
The results of a controlled metabolic study:
Even short-term consumption of a Paleolithic-type diet improved glucose control and lipid profiles in people with type 2 diabetes compared with a conventional diet containing moderate salt intake, low-fat dairy, whole grains and legumes.
Color me unsurprised.
Claire Berlinski On The Iran Deal
Me, neither.
The simplest explanation is that the president has sustained his delusions on this issue from at least 2008.
Democrats And Israel
They’re taking Obama’s lead, and turning on it.
There has to be a point at which, at long last, they lose the Jewish vote.
Obama
Though to be fair, he’s actually screwing over the Arabs, too, favoring Persia.

The Sore Winners In Indiana
Matt Welch, on the lynch mob against the pizzeria. Also, Scott Ott.
I’ll have my own thoughts on the anti-Christian fascists in Indiana later, at PJMedia.

Libertarians must stand up for religious liberty.
Absolutely.
Young People And Porn
For the record, I do think this is a real problem. As I’ve noted in the past, I’ve often wondered if the teen birth rate is down simply because boys who learn about sex from porn are too dumb to ejaculate into the woman’s vagina.
Lois Lerner
Won’t face any charges. Because “not a smidgen of corruption.”
Here’s background of all her criminality, from a year ago.
Red Meat
…is not the enemy.
It’s almost like everything we’ve been taught about nutrition for the past several decades is BS.
The Hugo Awards
Some thoughts on taking back SFF from the SJWs, from Brad Thorgersen, and Sarah Hoyt:
I lived in fear, unable to associate normally or make friends with anyone. It was like being spied on all the time and knowing the worst construction would be put on my actions and words, even if the actions and words were not political, even if I just forgot what the week’s hate and the week’s cause was.
I got tired. I got really tired. I know authors who walked away after one or two books because they simply couldn’t take it anymore. I know others – gentle souls – who didn’t realize they’d been blacklisted on suspicion of being – dropped voice – conservative. This was particularly true of Libertarians (and libertarians) who never thought of themselves (I still don’t) as “conservatives” and couldn’t understand it when I tried to explain it.
All this was justified, you see, because in the minds of the establishment and establishment hangers on, conservatives are creatures shown as “right wing” on movies and tv (none of whose writers would know a true conservative, much less a libertarian if one bit them in the fleshy part of the *ss [and libertarians might.] They give conservatives (which again is everyone to the right of Lenin) informed attributes never found in the real creature: conservatives, in their crazy little heads, are people who are racist, sexist, homophobic, ultra-religious in a medieval fashion or a crazy-evangelical (there are some, but not many) one.
This kind of thing isn’t the only reason I haven’t been reading much in the past few years, but it doesn’t help.
