- Back to School. Good parenting and investment advice.
- From the archives: Ryan Holiday's 38 rules for reading.
- Rand Paul goes after former CDC head for lack of science when it comes to vaccines. He's not wrong.
- Jonathan Turley - Antigone 2.0: Liberals denounce and destroy memorials for Charlie Kirk. When people show you who they are - believe them!

- 4 CDC leaders resign. This its safe to assume these folks were all in favor of the lockdown.
- Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed 3 homes as a "primary residence." What is it with politicians and mortgage fraud?
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Science policy without science or policy. I'd like to see a DOGE-like accounting of what made up all those cuts. I want more science but not tax dollars spent of excessive university overhead in grants, DEI related studies, or funding putting beagles in cages to be eaten by fleas.
- Ross Dellenger on Bill Belichick at UNC.
- Ultra processed food may not be the real dietary villain. Should be pointed out that food ingredients in the UK are different to what's allowed in the US. Think good advice is just to shop on the outside of a supermarket. (HT Newmark's Door)

- VDH on Gavin Newsome and his cruel notion of "cruel."
- Jonathan Turley on Democrats protesting the deployment of National Guard troops. Gavin Newsome is despicable.
- This story just makes me smile: IDF will force antisemite Greta Thunberg to watch Oct 7th footage. Good - about time she received an education.
- More on JFK Jr. removing all member of CDC panel advising US on vaccines. I think any media outlet that described RFK Jr. as a "vaccine skeptic" should be forced to defend the effectiveness of the Covid vaccine. If they admit the shots weren't effective - they too should be labeled as "vaccine skeptics."
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Dr, Weldon's open letter. Why he was withdrawn from directing the CDC. Big Pharma cares about dollar signs - not your kids or their health.
- Glenn Reynolds: Congress on Easy Mode.
- America is starting to heal.
- Holy crap! Kawasaki set to unveil the CORLEO robot next week at an expo.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Hard not to be impressed by this story. Pulling for Michigan because of it (nothing to do with the fact the line is up to Texas-7.5)
- VDH: The truth about WW II. Tucker Carlson should know better.
- There are no licensed Covid vaccines for children under 12 - but CDC wants babies to get 3 Pfizer shots by age 9 months. This is criminal.
- CDR Salamander on Hospital Ships. Build more!
Many a truth is said in jest.

Some quotes I hope may resonate with you.
"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards." - Soren Kierkegaard
"I support anyone's right to be who they want to be. My question is; to what extent do I have to participate in your self image." - Dave Chappelle
"I asked a Chinese friend what percent of highly educated Chinese 25 year olds would move to America if someone handed them a free green card, and he said 90%. That surprised me. Apparently lockdown made everyone fear for the future under Xi." - Paul Graham
"Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick." - Rachelle Walensky

- Hobby Club's Missing Balloon Feared Shot Down by USAF
- White House explains why it turned down disaster relief for Ohio. But then changes its mind about supplying funds once Trump announces he's going to visit the disaster area.
- CHD sues CDC to obtain documents on Covid vaccine deaths and injuries reported in VAERS. The CDC says the shots are safe but won't release the data that would back up that claim. Why would they possibly do that?
- Some of the people who visited Epstein Island. Most surprised by Tom Hanks. Least surprised by Charlie Sheen.
"CDC admits mRNA shots can cause myocarditis and blood clots. Also admits natural immunity is real. And concedes that the shots don't prevent infection or spread of the virus." - Representative Thomas Massie
"The destructive capacity of the individual, however vicious, is small; of the state, however well-intentioned, almost limitless." - Winston Churchill
Have to wonder how soon the idea of "reparations" changes from those who may have had ancestors who were slaves to payments from the government to those who took mRNA "jabs" because they were told by those in charge that they were "safe and effective?" Wouldn't be surprised if this new definition of "reparations" becomes a major campaign issue in the 2024 elections.
