Sanity Returns To The Appliance Aisle I & I Editorial Board

Ignoring the left’s constant “we’re running out of everything” screeching, Trump restored “shower freedom” earlier this month... - I & I Editorial Board

...with an executive order “to end the Obama-Biden war on water pressure.” 

The new rule rescinds “the overly complicated federal rule that redefined ‘showerhead’ under Obama and Biden,” says the administration.

• The previous rule, which burned through 13,000 words to define “showerhead,” restricted multi-nozzle showerheads to 2.5 gallons of water per minute. The new rule allows each nozzle in a showerhead to pump out 2.5 gallons of water per minute.
• It’s the second time Trump changed the rule. The first time was in 2020. Of course Biden dropped that order after he took office and the government reverted to the Obama restrictions...

New Evidence: Is ADHD a Scam to Feminize Our Boys? - Glenn Beck

As diagnosis levels (and Adderall sales) have skyrocketed... 

...the New York Times recently reported that experts are now questioning whether they’ve been thinking about ADHD all wrong. 

Glenn and Stu debate whether the real cause of ADHD symptoms is not a chemical imbalance, but instead how we treat our boys. 

• As pointed out in commentary from the Daily Wire, our education system has been feminized, our kids have been distracted by smart phones, and our doctors have pushed medication on them. 

Maybe the real solution is much simpler: let boys be boys!

GLENN: Anyway, there's a new article out now that talks about ADHD. 

And it's come from the left.
And the experts. That they're now starting to say, I don't know.
Maybe -- maybe -- maybe not everything we thought was true, about ADHD. 

And I think this story was written by Matt Walsh, who was great...

Congresswoman admits: Dems meet 'every single week' to plot lawfare against Trump * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit

Congresswoman admits: Dems meet 'every single week' to plot lawfare against Trump * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit: 

Speaking to voters, Friedman bragged that House Democrats have established a so-called "litigation working group," aka "shadow government," comprised of approximately 75 sitting members of Congress who gather behind closed doors every week to craft legal strategies in conjunction with state AGs — the same AGs who have brought politically motivated lawsuits and investigations against Trump, his businesses, his allies, and his policies.

𝕏 Marks the Truth: How X Outscoops the Drive-by Media

The question arises: how did 𝕏 know what Politico and the Times did not? - @amuse

The answer lies in structure. 

• Legacy media operates on hierarchical reporting chains, bureaucratic editorial layers, and the risk-averse culture of credentialed access. Their journalists are institutionally insulated from immediacy...
• 𝕏, by contrast, is frictionless. It enables information to emerge in real time. Users such as Laura Loomer published screenshots indicating Caldwell's identity in the chat. Others, like DiligentDenizen, confirmed Caldwell’s post-incident social media lockdown, further cementing the connection. Snarky replies from anonymous accounts raised sharp, forensic questions the Times never dared ask: did Caldwell add the Atlantic journalist to the Signal chat? Was he a scapegoat? Or worse, a saboteur? These questions emerged instantly, organically, and publicly. They could not be contained.

Of course, one might object: is not 𝕏 full of misinformation? Yes. 

But this objection misses the point. 

All information systems are fallible. 

The distinction lies not in infallibility, but in responsiveness...

'Mind-boggling': White House shames Democrats for defending illegal immigrants instead of US citizens | Blaze Media: 

"I think it's atrocious that you have Democrats in Congress, on Capitol Hill, who swear an oath to protect their constituents and to serve them in Washington, D.C., spending more time defending illegal immigrant gang members than their own constituents and law-abiding American citizens like Rachel Morin," Leavitt said.

"Want to know why? Because the medical personnel were protesting against Hamas members taking over the Surgery Ward/Division and hiding there to protect themselves, endangering the entire facility.

 

HARVARD VS THE US GOVERNMENT. ???

Clarice Feldman - I wish I could say I am surprised to hear Harvard graduate lawyers, now speaking for Harvard, claiming that it is unconstitutional for the Federal Government to enforce the law when it comes to Harvard. - Roger Froikin is with Daniel Frank and 35 others.

Harvard is a Private Organization with a multi-billion dollar endowment fund. Harvard is a Tax exempt Organization.

• Under federal law, a Tax Exempt Educational organization has no right to Federal Funds Grants...
• Under federal law, Institutions of Higher Education must not discriminate for or against students or hiring on the basis of religion, gender, national origin or race...

So, tell me. 

Is legal education at Harvard so bad.
Or are these lawyers just twisting things to excuse antisemitism and partisan politics, just as many lawyers did in the 1930’s in Nazi Germany to justify the regimes policies...

If true...WOW!

 

New Study Finds Human CO2 Impact Too Weak To Play 'Dominant Role' - Climate Change Dispatch

Geology professor says natural variability still shapes Earth’s climate. - Kenneth Richard
In a new study, geology professor Dr. Wojciech Stankowski has summarized some of the reasons why the prevailing narrative that humans can drive climate change by burning more or less fossil fuels cannot be supported by the evidence.

• Past natural climate changes such as Greenland’s “temperature increases of up to 10°C within just 50 years” 14,700 and 11,700 years ago confirm that the modern climate change rate (just 0.05°C per decade since 1860) falls well within the range of natural variability.
• Further, a CO2 concentration change from 0.03% to 0.04% (300 ppm to 400 ppm) is not significant enough to impact temperature change in the global ocean, which covers 71% of the Earth’s surface...

Will Hollywood Ever Get a Clue?

Woke “Snow White” lost a couple of hundred million dollars for Disney, and you might think that would teach Hollywood a lesson. - Kurt Schlichter

You might think Hollywood would try to appeal to normal people with non-woke, quality entertainment and collect bushels of cash. 

Of course, you’d be wrong...

• Hollywood wants to get paid, of course, but Hollywood also wants to be loved, especially by other people in Hollywood. 
• And that’s why they can leave all the money on the table that would’ve been spent by normal Americans going to the movies like we did 20 years ago...

So sad that this would be "news".

 

Report: Bureaucrats Tried to Stop Trump from Canceling Illegal Aliens' Social Security Benefits

Report: Bureaucrats Tried to Stop Trump from Canceling Illegal Aliens' Social Security Benefits: 

Government bureaucrats tried to stop President Donald Trump’s administration from canceling Social Security benefits for illegal aliens, including those who were released into the United States by former President Joe Biden, a report details.

More than a dozen current and former Social Security Administration officials leaked various information regarding the issue to the Washington Post, seemingly in an attempt to sow outrage among Americans over Trump’s cancellation of Social Security numbers for more than 6,300 illegal aliens.

Good heaven’s so much misinformation is flying around, regarding the case of Abrego Garcia who was deported to El Salvador.

If you’re as confused as I am, here’s a Cliff’s Notes version of the facts. - Jacques Voorhees

1. Garcia’s an El Salvador citizen, who’s been illegally living in the United States since 2011.
2. He was arrested in 2019, and an immigration judge found the government’s claim that he was an MS-13 member credible enough to deny him bond.
3. The immigration judge also ruled it credible that if Garcia was sent back to El Salvador, a rival gang might kill him—which is what Garcia’s lawyers maintained.
4. That judge therefore ruled that Garcia could be deported, but not to El Salvador.
5. He’s been living in Maryland ever since that ruling.
6. The Trump administration, under the Alien Enemies Act, deported him to El Salvador and El Salvador—under a bilateral agreement with the US—put him in prison...

9. The semantic difference between “facilitate” and “effectuate” is important.  Facilitate means basically clearing any obstacles to his return, such as buying him a plane ticket, admitting him back to the US when the plane arrives, etc...

California University's Underhanded Move Sees DEI Program Saved, Promotion for Its Assistant VP

California University's Underhanded Move Sees DEI Program Saved, Promotion for Its Assistant VP: 

One of the peculiar things this writer has learned as a somewhat new parent is that you must be as crystal clear as possible when addressing toddlers, lest they twist your words and take the worst possible interpretation of what you just said.

I swore that President Donald Trump’s rules to shut down diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in schools were crystal clear: dismantle these discriminatory practices or face consequences.

But the apparent toddlers at California Institute of Technology found a sneaky way to skirt the mandate, and it’s stunning just how nakedly transparent this all is. They’ve reshuffled their DEI leadership, handed out a promotion, and kept the whole operation intact.

Before weaponizing Russia against Trump, Biden and other Democrats reaped lucrative benefits | Just The News

From the Clinton Foundation to Hunter Biden’s business dealings, prominent Democratic families appeared to benefit from Obama’s reset of relations with Russians, including oligarchs, investment banks and energy giants. - Steven Richards

While Democrats weaponized invented Russia collusion claims in an attempt to sink President Donald Trump’s first term, in retrospect the party’s leaders have often gone soft on Russia when it wanted to reap financial or political benefits for themselves or allies.

• From the Obama-era "Russian Reset" and 
• Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Skolkovo investment project to 
• Hunter Biden’s business in Moscow and 
• President Joe Biden’s waiving of sanctions against a Russian pipeline, 

key Democratic figures reaped political and financial benefits from going soft on Moscow...

They were for it before they were against...Trump!

WATCH: Officials snatch 1-month-old breastfeeding baby from her mom and Navy veteran dad at gunpoint, without charges, a crime, or due process * WorldNetDaily * by Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit: 

A U.S. Navy veteran and his wife were subjected to the full weight of the government's iron fist as Child Protective Services—backed by armed deputies—stormed their home and seized their one-month-old, breastfeeding infant.

There was no warrant. No due process. No criminal charge.

Why do we pay so many loons to lie to our children??!!-----‘Colonial dysphoria’ causes ‘distress’ for minority students, professor says - Gabrielle Temaat

The event, hosted by the University of California, Berkeley, was titled “Bridging Decolonial Feminist and Queer Theory, and Materialist Feminist Theory.”

“Colonial dysphoria” causes “distress” for “marginalized” students while “anti-intellectualism” fueled by President Donald Trump’s administration suppresses dissent, a University of Utah professor said during a Tuesday webinar...

• University of Utah Professor Omi Salas-SantaCruz defined “colonial dysphoria” as “the profound dislocation and distress experienced by marginalized individuals, particularly minoritized populations due to colonial legacies that shape identities and experiences within colonial universities.”...
• Further exacerbating “colonial dysphoria” is “anti-intellectualism” and what the scholar called the “war on woke.”

“Anti-intellectualism is a growing force undermining academic life, characterized by skepticism toward experts or in a preference for a ‘common sense’ over research,” the professor said...

Cornyn was blunt, in his letter, stating, "I am concerned that the Center, through its for-profit affiliated entity, is attempting to create an enclave that will discriminate on the basis of religion, and, further, is hiding this intent from the public." County planners have not yet been given the paperwork needed to start an evaluation.
