Next target for arrogant, ignorant 'experts': organ donors
After an alarming federal report, you'd think transplant doctors would work hard to increase public confidence in their methods. Instead, they're going the other way. - Glenn H. ReynoldsOf all America’s problems, waning trust in our institutions — and our institutions’ lack of trustworthiness — is among the biggest.
Turns out they weren’t being paranoid.
- Case in point: organ donation.
Turns out they weren’t being paranoid.

My brush with death in DC - The Spectator World
The city has been a model of corrupt, complacent governance – a national embarrassment - Isaac SchorrThe last thing I heard before my ears started ringing was my left turn signal clicking.
I was stopped at a red light on a Saturday afternoon, waiting to glide into my parking lot near the Waterfront Metro stop in Washington, DC when a loud crack suddenly deafened me.
I was stopped at a red light on a Saturday afternoon, waiting to glide into my parking lot near the Waterfront Metro stop in Washington, DC when a loud crack suddenly deafened me.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bullet-sized wound in my windshield.
It wasn’t a windy day, and no cars had been passing by to kick a loose stone up at my beloved Camry, so it only took me only a half-second to realize what had happened...
The two Metropolitan Police Department officers my 911 call summoned didn’t show up until a half-hour later, even though the nearest station was only a two-minute walk away...Yes, my car had probably been shot with me in it, they agreed before informing me that all they could do was record the incident.
If I wanted, they said, I could ask nearby apartment buildings and businesses for security footage and report back to them. And then they were off; my ears were still ringing...

Climate Lawyers Try a New Approach - WSJ
Heatstroke killed Julie Leon on a 108-degree day. A lawsuit blames oil companies. - Mike Toth
Stung by a recent losing streak in state courts, the foundations, academics and trial lawyers behind the climate lawfare movement are now trying a new tactic: wrongful-death lawsuits against oil and gas companies based on the alleged connection between carbon emissions and weather-related deaths...
- The leading such case, Leon v. Exxon Mobil, seeks to hold energy companies liable for the death of Julie Leon, who suffered heatstroke in her car in June 2021 after driving almost 100 miles without air conditioning on a day when temperatures hit a record-breaking 108 degrees in western Washington state...

More than importing the Muslim third-world, the Islamic takeover of the West comes down to birthrates - American Thinker
New figures out of Austria are positively horrifying. - Olivia Murray
From a new report by Thomas Brooke at Remix News yesterday:
New figures show that women from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq living in Austria have an average birth rate almost three times higher than that of Austrian-born women, according to data from the country’s Statistical Yearbook on Migration and Integration.
Yes, progressive politicians inviting an invasion is absolutely a serious and unacceptable problem (it’s also treasonous), but it would be less of a problem if real Europeans were having babies at equal or greater rates than the third world welfare louses hunkered down in...

Worth knowing when the revisionists spread their lies!-----That’s Nice, But Why Was There a War On, Hmm?
The 80th anniversary of the end of WWII has arrived, and with it the anniversary of the first uses of the atomic bomb. - TXRed 
- Thus far, all the mainstream media stories I’ve read have been negative – it was a terrible thing, the crew of Bockscar should not have picked Nagasaki, it wasn’t really necessary, it was racist, the Koran labor-slaves suffered horribly and are the real victims; if the bomb was necessary, it should have stopped with Hiroshima, and a few others even less tethered to reality.

Instapundit - ROGER KIMBALL: Trump is liberating the Smithsonian from ‘Woke.’
...If you want to restore society, you must commandeer the institutions that represent elite culture.

Exit question:
Yes, ever since the debacle of their uber-PC Enola Gay exhibition in 1994, their airbrushing of Clarence Thomas out of black history in 2016, and their 2020 chart on “Aspects & Assumptions of Whiteness & White Culture in the United States,”, it’s been clear that somebody needs to save the Smithsonian from their worst impulses...
