On cannabis, psychosis, and the long tail of the truth
- Once again, reality smashes a fantasy of lefty journalist groupthink.
- Last week, researchers reported severe mental illness has spiked in young people in Canada alongside access to high-potency cannabis.
- The next day came the release of “A Killing In Cannabis,” a book about a 2019 murder in California — and the violence that plagues the marijuana business and that legalization has not resolved.

“This is what he was referring to because I knew that by picking a fight with the biggest cabal in America … we’re talking Hollywood, we’re talking corporate America, the biggest sports event in the country — the most money that goes into this thing because it has the most cultural power — that we were going up against Goliath,” he says.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio calls out the UN for being useless in establishing peace.
He says the UN has potential for good in the world but has been failing to achieve it. - Donald Trump For President
Secretary of State Rubio:
Secretary of State Rubio:
"The United Nations still has tremendous potential to be a tool for good in the world.
But we cannot ignore that today, on the most pressing matters before us, it has no answers and has played virtually no role.
It could not solve the war in Gaza...And we cannot continue to allow those who blatantly and openly threaten our citizens and endanger our global stability to shield themselves behind abstractions of international law which they themselves routinely violate.
This is the path that President Trump and the United States has embarked upon.
It is the path we ask you here in Europe to join us on.It is a path we have walked together before, and hope to walk together again."

EXCLUSIVE: A new report from Alliance for Consumers (AFC) argues that progressive, often climate-change-related, activism and aligned trial lawyers are increasingly using lawsuits not to win big dollars but big changes.

‘Sexual harassment’ at Michigan State includes ‘offensive’ words
Calling a gender-confused male “he” could get someone accused of “sexual harassment” at Michigan State University. - Matt Lamb - Associate EditorThe public university in Lansing recently released the results of its “Know More” survey that asks students and staff about sexual assault, sexual harassment, and host of other issues about their experiences.
After reading the results, people actually know less, however.
- During the 2024-25 school year, a whopping 69 percent of “transgender and/or Nonbinary” undergraduate students said they were the victim of sexual harassment...“The most common forms of sexual harassment were ‘someone referring to people of your gender in insulting or offensive terms’ and someone making ‘sexual remarks, jokes, or stories,’” the report explains.
- RTI International and Chris Krebs oversaw the survey. Krebs is behind the original 2014 Department of Justice study that is used by activists to claim 1 in 5 women are victims of sexual assault on college campuses...

What a U.S. War on Iran Led by Donald Trump Would Look Like - WSJ - 2-11-26
Decapitation strikes against the regime are likely. An invasion is not. - Arash Reisinezhad, Arsham Reisinezhad
Washington and Tehran may be closer to military confrontation than at any point in memory, but they are not on the brink of war in any conventional sense.
The most plausible outcome of the current standoff is not a U.S. invasion of Iran or a full-scale regional war.
It is a limited, carefully calibrated strike designed to reshape bargaining dynamics rather than end them...
- In the scenario being discussed in Washington, the most plausible option is not occupation but decapitation...

Why X is So Important: Apple News Pushes Almost Exclusively Left-Wing Content, Excludes Conservative Outlets:
It is why X matters. Apple News is what all news apps would look like if most Silicon Valley players and establishment media reporters and editors had their way.
If you have an iPhone, I suggest you open it for a look at what the liberals in your life are reading. Their Bloomberg-approved lack of insight and tolerance might start to make a lot of sense.
