Money ball for cattle. DNA testing in improving the quality of steaks. I think this is a good thing.
There's a disabled lawyer who makes his living suing businesses under the Disabilities Act. He has been charged with tax evasion. The many people he sued are celebrating. He forced one historic business, that he had never entered, to close.
There is some movement among progressive politicians to decriminalize prostitution.
Dershowitz thinks Mueller's speech was prosecutorial overreach and that he put his thumb on the scales of justice. More here Sean Davis at the Federalist says that the Mueller just proved that the investigation was a political hit job.

Pollsters wrong again
The Labor Party in Australia was polled to win in Australia, with a platform of higher taxes and more spending on global warming. Even the bookies paid off the bets early because the election was such a sure thing. Surprise, the Liberal (conservatives) Party won. How could the pollsters be so wrong as in the 2016 US election?
Germany's AfD Party is using painting of Muslim men enslaving white women in an ad campaign. Liberals are outraged over this affront to Muslims, but the history is compelling. See the whole image here (warning nudity).
PETA is asking us to change common idioms to make them more animal friendly. For example, instead of "kill two birds with one stone" how about "feed two birds with one scone".

Socialism
Socialism as epic tragedy. Why it always fails. At the end of the article, there are links to other discussions of Socialism.
The Democrats are starting to appreciate the debacle they are facing with the candidacy of Biden
George Kelling passed away. He was the proponent of the "broken window" theory on how to keep crime under control. It worked, but the Democrats are neglecting it.
Windmills are getting bigger, as tall as the Eiffel Tower, but the reason to read this article is to watch the video of this wind turbine self destructing.
ESPN became "woke" which means they covered politics and social issues instead of sports. Ratings have pummeled, because ESPN fans want to hear about sports.The new guy in charge has figured out the problem.
Baltimore's computers are out of service because of a hacking program developed by the NSA, just down the road.
What did the Romans use 2000 years before toilet paper was invented?
The most valuable companies in the world is an ever changing mixture. Here is a video that shows the ratings over time. They have really changed over 20 years.
There is a world wide scandal in global warming science.
The energy utility in Colorado is making really bad decisions in the name of green energy.
It turns out that Martin Luther King had a "me too" problem. What are we to do with all those streets named after him?
Before the Ethiopian crash, Boeing resisted efforts by pilots for aggressive steps on the 737 Max.
The Supreme Court's decision on Kelo is widely regarded as bad precedent. John Paul Stevens is still trying to defend it in the face of widespread disdain. There's a very good movie on the issue called The Little Pink House available on Amazon Prime.
Here's a cool video of a closeup to a tornado.

Law school
After you've been to Afghanistan with the Marines, law school is a piece of cake.
A clown car of Democrats are running for president. Here are some of their proposals for raising revenue with massive tax hikes.
A Grass Valley California charter school was planning a fund raiser, but it was cancelled due to a tweet by former FBI Director James Comey. You have to read the details to appreciate the idiocy
Rapper Drake, who rails against climate change, buys massive private jet. Who knew there was that much money in rap? There is no end to global warming hypocrisy.
It's not just weather that produces thunder and lightning. Look at this picture of lightning from static in volcanic ash.
WJZ anchorwoman Mary Bubala asked a question about the race, gender and leadership of Baltimore’s past three mayors. She is no longer with the station.
It's hard to think well of Harvard University when they fire a law professor based on opinions of student activists.
Watch Commander David Scott of Apollo 15 drop a hammer and a feather at the same time on the moon.

Sinkholes
Here's a fun article on the sinkhole hunters; a little geophysics lesson.
The Nation is a reliably liberal magazine, so it is surprising to see this analysis of the bad aspects of the Mueller investigation.
Biden is changing his story on the Clarence Thomas hearings. At the time, he thought Anita Hill was lying.
The New York Times has discovered that the FBI sent someone to spy on the Trump campaign. Many of us knew this a year ago.
Why aren't Clapper and Brennan in jail for violating secrecy laws?
Obama was pretty unhappy with the presidential election and blamed Hillary for the loss.
Christians appear to be the most persecuted group in the world, but seldom does it get recognized in the media. More here: Christians are 'by far the most persecuted' religious group and are enduring what amounts to genocide in some parts of the world.
Has the mainstream media fallen out of love with Beto O'Rourke?
There has been a lion shortage in Mozambique. Though the hoofed animals are in good shape, they lack predators. So, 24 healthy lions were rounded up from reserves in South Africa and relocated to central Mozambique—the largest lion reintroduction ever attempted. The photos accompanying this article are worth viewing.
How about this image of a globular star cluster with 100,000 stars.
Kids are skipping school to pretest global warming. MSNBC thinks that's a good thing. How many are skipping school just to get a day off?
Jay Leno on political correctness.
Remember Solyndra, the solar cell factory that received huge funding from Obama and failed? Here's another global warming boondoggle that cost the taxpayers a bunch.
Read this compelling story about Green Berets that give up lucrative civilian careers to serve the nation.
Is James Comey concerned about going to jail? He's obstructing justice.
Pennsylvania's first openly gay representative attacked at elderly woman protesting in front of a Planned Parenthood.office. He also harassed some teenage girls, but it backfired.
An opinion piece in USA Today suggests that Christians need to accept homosexuality to grow the church. The actual statistics contradict that position.
A group of Asians were harassed in the street because they were wearing MAGA hats. It turns out they were North Korean refugees looking for freedom in the US.

The Mueller Report
The Mueller Report can be found here.
A pretty good editorial on the behavior of the Democrats reacting to the Mueller Report. More here from liberal scholar Noam Chonsky.
Mark Levin says that Volume 2 of the Mueller report should never have been written and is devoid of any legal significance.
Muller Trump and two years of bullshit.
Victor Davis Hanson on the plots by the progressives to get rid of Trump.
Even the New York Times has realized that the Steele dossier was disinformation.
I used to argue with my liberal friends that Africans were better off under white rule. Rhodesia used to grow enough crops to feed most of sub-saharan Africa. Now that Rhodesia is Zimbabwe, many of the people are wishing for the good old days when they had food to eat.
Have your dentist friends read this article: The Trouble with Dentists.
This Astronomy Picture of the Day is not particularly engaging, just a close up of 27 rockets lifting a Falcon Heavy rocket. What is remarkable is that the three stages returned to earth after placing a satellite in orbit: two landing back at Kennedy Space Center and one landing on a barge offshore, all for reuse later. Most remarkable is that this rocket is the result of private industry.
Judges get weirder every day. A federal appeals court has ruled that traffic cops marking your tires with chalk is unconstitutional.
Why does Enterprise hire college graduates to work the counters at the rental car agency? It's because they have demonstrated competence at something.
One of my favorite sites, the Babylon Bee did something out of character they printed an actual, accurate article. Once you go there, click on the page title and explore some of their other stories.
Back in the 1930's, Kate Smith sang of couple of songs that were politically correct by today's standards. A person complained, and the Yankees have stopped playing her rendition of "God Bless America"
Bitter lessons 25 years after the Waco siege.

The day the dinosaurs died
Pretty interesting article about a paleontologist who may have found evidence of the meteor impact.
NY State voted $27M for scholarships for children of illegal immigrants while refusing to increase $2.7M funding for scholarships for children of veterans killed or disabled in wars.
Most of you know that the universities are being destroyed as a haven for knowledge and debate, but it's surprising to see this happening at Christian universities. Students at Taylor U are apoplectic that VP Mike Pence was asked to speak at graduation.
Is college worth the cost? A lot of students aren't learning anything of substance. One reason is that more diversity is lowering standards.
The Southern Policy Law Center which used to be a force for good in civil rights, has become a skam organization devoted to fund raising. Unfortunately, it's taken seriously as it lists Christian organizations as "hate groups"
The Iraq war began sixteen years ago. There is a myth about the war that Ari Fleisher wants to set straight for years. After no WMDs were found, the left claimed "Bush lied. People died." This accusation itself is a lie.
Roger Simon says the american media destroyed themselves over the Mueller investigation.
A NYT review of a book about the history of forced sterilization in America.
San Antonio is banning Chic-fil-A from their airport in violation of the First Amendment. I really like their sandwiches. On that same subject, the Babylon Bee reports that protestors claim victory after blocking access to a Chic-fil-A for an entire Sunday. The Bee is of course a satire site with terrific humor.
Government planners do not understand markets, so they promote overly pricey projects that fail to meet our real-world transportation needs. Rail transit is an obvious example. More here on the fallacy of high-speed rail.
If you dispute the inflated and inconsistent claims of global warming alarmists, you are denounced as anti-science. You may even find yourself under investigation. But is catastrophic anthropogenic global warming actually a scientific theory at all?
Remember the scandals in Virginia involving the top three leaders? They just disappeared because it would hurt the Democrats.
The Democrats want to get rid of the Electoral College because it works. It works to preserve the United States.
Men who identify as women are competing in women's sports; in the process destroying women's college athletics.
With the Mueller report coming out, the question arises: when did he know there was no collusion?
Trump is in the news allegedly for obstructing justice. Here are five instances of Obama obstructing justice.
Everything wrong with academia in two pictures.
California is creating a future energy crisis by virtue signaling. Another reason to leave the state.
Women's rowing is the perfect place to scam your daughter into college. Title IX distorts college athletics.
A bachelor’s degree certifies a set of life skills you don’t really need college for. Why does Enterprise hire graduates to work auto checkout counters?
Ukrainian law enforcement officials believe they have evidence of wrongdoing by American Democrats. Why aren't we interested?
Victor Davis Hanson on the return of ancient prejudices.
