I had a scan done on Monday, and my score came out as a total of 17, most of it in my right coronary artery (my left was zero). This is in the bottom quartile, particularly for my age, but they still say I should get my cholesterol down to 200 (it’s currently about 240, with a good ratio and low tryglycerides, and has been for years) with medication, and cut out the saturated fat from my diet. What BS.

Climate Hysteria
How the media enables and feeds it.
The New York Times
…should stop whining.
From A Physician At A Government Health Center
“Why I no longer believe that government healthcare can work.”
After many decades, we need to reintroduce markets to the healthcare industry.
A Next-Gen “Space Station”
This seems a tad ambitious. But it would be pretty cool.
McCabe And Papadopolous
I continue to hold out hope that there will be a reckoning for these people.
Joe Biden
…is not going nuts. According to Joe Biden.
Because who is a better judge of whether or not someone is crazy than the crazy person?
I wish he wasn’t collapsing so fast. I wanted him to hang on at least through the convention.
Health-Care Costs
How to dramatically reduce costs, without “Medicare For All” (which would quickly mean Medicare For None).
One of the infuriating things about the health debate was the false notion that we who don’t want the government to take it over think that the system is fine, or don’t have any ideas how to fix it. The Left just doesn’t like them, and as with climate, it’s not about the policy, it’s about control.
Hong Kong Update
How the protests remaining leaderless has put the Chicoms in a box. They also have to continue to be non violent.
[Update Friday afternoon]
Is the thirty-year engagement with China coming to an end? This is a separate national-security issue from Trump’s more general trade wars (which are good, and easy to win, so he says).
