An Environmental Success Story
Grizzlies have become so common in the lower 48 that they’ve become a problem.
I think it’s been well over a century since the last one died in California, but in a sense it was the state animal of the Bear Flag Republic. Though possibly it referred to black bears, which remain plentiful there.

…and leftists lose their minds. As noted, this demonstrates just how far left the media has become.
Muscle Growth And Strength
Some interesting results on strength training. I’m more concerned with strength (and flexibility) than how big my muscles look. Though maybe if I were in the market for women I’d think differently.
Judith Curry
An interview with John Stossel.
Climate scientist @CurryJa tells me she "had to develop the hide of an armadillo" after she questioned climate alarmism.

Former "friends" turned on her, writing things like, “Judith Curry abandons science.”
Did she? Here's my full interview with her: pic.twitter.com/yQBtWnC5ZJ
A Difference Between The Right And The Left

The left protests always trash the place, while the Tea Party rallies always left them cleaner than they arrived.
“General” Harris
We’ve been hearing these kinds of stories for a while now. I don’t think it mentions it here, but I saw another story that reported when she was California AG, she would demand that her staff greet her every morning with “Good morning, General!” I have no trouble believing it, both because it matches other stories about her ego, and stories about her intelligence.
One of my pet peeves is people (including media types) addressing a Surgeon General or Attorney General, as “General So-and-So.” “General” is the adjective, not the noun. Morons.

How is it that this woman is “Acting President”?
It has been credibly reported that they threatened him with the 25th Amendment if he didn’t drop out of the race. So if that’s true, and they don’t believe that he’s not competent, but removed him anyway, then that would have been a coup. If they do believe he’s not competent, then they have a Constitutional duty to remove him. Either way, this is not “saving our democracy.”
Make up your minds. He can’t be Schroedinger’s President.
