Why Caitlin Clark isn’t going to the Olympics (probably).
I’m going to not watch Olympic basketball just as hard regardless of whether or not she plays, but it’s an interesting moment.

From Cars To Star Wars
We’re not buying what they’re selling.
The average age of our two cars is seventeen years. I might buy something newer if my finances dramatically improved, but I’m also leery of all of the “features” in the newer cars. When I look at new car prices, I think about what I could do with the (2000) BMW if I put two or three thousand into it, especially given how new stick shifts are an endangered species.
I hope that SCOTUS will force a rollback of all the illegal mandates coming from Washington.
How To Fix Higher Ed
Yes, the notion that everyone should get a college degree has been tremendously destructive.
Palestinianism
“It began with Nazism and today is based on antisemitism, sexism, homophobia and denial of human rights. So why is the left so in love with it?”
Gee, seems to me that the question answers itself.
Islamists Keep Stabbing People
Why are we not allowed to talk about it?
This “Islamaphobephobia” has been going on since 911. Whenever an Islamist Islamists, the knee-jerk reaction is to express concern over our reaction to it, rather than the act (similar to how when there is Democrat wrong doing, the story is about Republicans “pouncing”). And it’s not just in Europe; the pro-Hamas demonstrations and riots indicate that it’s here as well, and we’ve been letting many in at the open border. The administration’s notion that Gazans should be “resettled” here is insane.
David Boaz
RIP.
I saw one of his last (maybe his last) speeches at LibertyCon in DC a few months ago (during my trial, but on the weekend). He didn’t look well, but I didn’t know that he had cancer.

Admiral McRaven To The American People
“There are countries that do not tolerate speech critical of the government and its institutions. There are countries where citizens who publicly disagree with the actions of the government and its institutions are condemned as disloyal citizens, investigated and tried. There are countries where people with political views that differ from those of the governing authorities are subject to governmental abuse and ruin just because of their political opinions. We have a name for these countries. They are totalitarian.“
California’s War On Business
The Biden administration wants to do this nationwide, but they’ll have to do it with illegal executive orders, because they’d never get the needed legislation through Congress.
Merrick Garland
Don’t praise him; impeach him.
We really dodged a bullet by keeping that “moderate” partisan hack off of the Supreme Court.
Rafah
Israel is determined to destroy Hamas, despite all of the efforts of the administration and others to save it. Biden’s “peace deal” would be a disaster. Democrats never want to win wars (except against their domestic enemies); they simply want to “end” them.
