Some interesting results on strength training. I’m more concerned with strength (and flexibility) than how big my muscles look. Though maybe if I were in the market for women I’d think differently.

Judith Curry
An interview with John Stossel.
Climate scientist @CurryJa tells me she "had to develop the hide of an armadillo" after she questioned climate alarmism.

Former "friends" turned on her, writing things like, “Judith Curry abandons science.”
Did she? Here's my full interview with her: pic.twitter.com/yQBtWnC5ZJ
A Difference Between The Right And The Left
This man went to a Kamala event wearing a Trump shirt, and a Trump event wearing a Kamala shirt. The difference in how he was treated was stunning.https://t.co/d9BRw4wC29

The left protests always trash the place, while the Tea Party rallies always left them cleaner than they arrived.
“General” Harris
We’ve been hearing these kinds of stories for a while now. I don’t think it mentions it here, but I saw another story that reported when she was California AG, she would demand that her staff greet her every morning with “Good morning, General!” I have no trouble believing it, both because it matches other stories about her ego, and stories about her intelligence.
One of my pet peeves is people (including media types) addressing a Surgeon General or Attorney General, as “General So-and-So.” “General” is the adjective, not the noun. Morons.

How is it that this woman is “Acting President”?
It has been credibly reported that they threatened him with the 25th Amendment if he didn’t drop out of the race. So if that’s true, and they don’t believe that he’s not competent, but removed him anyway, then that would have been a coup. If they do believe he’s not competent, then they have a Constitutional duty to remove him. Either way, this is not “saving our democracy.”
Make up your minds. He can’t be Schroedinger’s President.

More from Powerline. I hope he sues them into oblivion.
Stop Turning The Other Cheek
Yes.
We normal people have to recognize that these people hate us and want us dead. Kamala said that her ideology is that “everyone ends up at the same place.” That is the creed of the communists always, only way for that to happen is for that place to be the grave. We have to take them seriously.
Democrats And Jews
They really do have a problem.

When you criticize Israel for what’s happening in Gaza, and don’t mention Hamas (who is wholly responsible for the suffering there), you are objectively pro-Hamas.
[Saturday-morning update]
Kamala Harris wants to keep Hamas in power. Obviously she does.

Why Zoomers won’t show their feet.
To be fair, the Internet and porn have created a lot of social dysfunction, including terrible sex (at least for women, but probably men as well).
The Democrat Party
This is the end of it as we know it.
