The last honest lawyer, Jonathan Turley notices The Media Takes the Fifth and Denounces Those Questioning Fauci as an “Assault on Science.” Sundance at CTH hosts Sunday Talks – CNN’s Dana Bash Beclowns Herself Defending Fauci, Censorship, Govt Fraud and Weaponizing Viruses, During Confrontation with HHS Secretary RFK Jr. At Althouse, RFK Jr. excoriates Dana Bash: "You're talking nonsense. You're making assertions. You can't support it. And then when I call you on them, they're you're telling me I'm arguing...." PoIiMath @politicalmath, "I am no RFK fan, but he's no more responsible for the measles outbreak in the US than he is for the much worse measles outbreak in Canada." Quote The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline, "Bash: "Do you accept some responsibility for this measles outbreak?" RFK: "Absolutely not…Did I cause those measles outbreaks?" Bash: "You're the most famous vaccine skeptic on the planet."" Matt Vespa at TownHall thinks This Could Have Been the Reason Why Fauci Took the Fifth Over 100 Times "It was pride. He didn’t want to be subjected to three hours of him tearing down his temple, especially when it came to the legal loophole the Obama administration left him to tinker with these viruses that created so much havoc." Mike Fumento at Am Spec, Fifth Amendment Fauci’s Narcissism Destroyed Faith in Scientific Methodology. "Congress may be investigating COVID, but the deeper scandal is how one bureaucrat reshaped science into dogma." It still works, if they bother to follow it. At his NYPo gig Insty opines on Fauci’s follies — time to toss the ‘science is settled’ groupthink. PJM's Kevin Downey calls COVID-19 Fauci's Holocaust. At CNN, Dr. Ashish Jha on COVID-19: 'It probably was a lab leak' "Former Biden White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator, Dr. Ashish Jha, tells Dana Bash, "When I went into the White House, my view was this was almost surely a natural outbreak, maybe a lab leak. Based on information I learned and based on information I've seen, I have come to conclude that it is more likely to have been a lab leak."" At Hat Hair VIP, Chris Toto noted Late-Night Hacks Did Exactly What We Expected Re: FauciGate. Late night hacks gonna hack. At Pirate's Cove, Bill Teach hears Louisiana Joins Investigation Into Fauci After His 5th Amendment Hearing, "Louisiana AG says state will investigate Fauci after Senate hearing, "Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill (R) said her state will investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci after a recent fiery Senate hearing where the former chief White House medical adviser pleaded the Fifth Amendment in response to questions from Republican lawmakers. In a post on the social platform X on Saturday, Murrill said that “Louisiana and Missouri deposed Dr. Fauci.” “At the time, he claimed to not recall many key details of his own actions and now we are discovering contemporaneous records he kept,” she added. “Louisiana will join Alabama & Florida in investigating Fauci and whether he committed any other offenses that could be pursued in our State courts.”" Driscoll at Insty, thinks REPRISALS WOULD BE A GOOD START: Marc J. Randazza @marcorandazza, "What happened 6 years ago: “get over it” What someone else did 400 years ago: “give me free shit and no accountability forever”" Quote Grinch @Uncatfishable, "Y’all still mad about a lockdown from 6/7 years ago that saved millions of lives. Fucking idiots." John Davidson at Da Fed asserts Unless Fauci Is Held Accountable, America Will Never Recover From His Lies. Never is a long time.
From AMAC, President Trump Fixes Biden’s Mess on Medicare Drug Premiums. "The Trump administration is doing the right thing by fixing a totally unworkable Biden-era Medicare subsidy program. The hysterical reaction from the left should be seen for what it is – nothing more than another shameful election-season scare tactic."
News Wax reports Darline Graham Backs Trump Agenda in Senate Debut. Good. I worried she might be a little squishy. I still do.
Jordan Schachtel at Am Great thinks AI Will Save the U.S. Economy "The pace of innovation is unlike anything we’ve ever seen." But can it save us from an overweening government stealing the gains? Sarah Anderson at PJM sees Javier Milei Just Proposed a Great Idea. Every Government Should Follow His Lead. "Essentially, if the Argentine national government runs a fiscal deficit for several months in a row, the Congress receives a warning that it has a matter of weeks to fix it. If it doesn't hit the deadline, the "shackle" activates automatically, and the political class will be the ones impacted. Here's what happens: 1. Non-essential government functions are suspended (hello, government shutdown). 2. All new spending is frozen and will not be authorized until the problem is resolved. 3. No new contracts can be awarded. 4. No new public-sector employees can be hired. 5. Discretionary transfers to the provinces are halted. And last but not least, the best part: 6. The salaries of the top politicians stop completely. The vice president, ministers, secretaries, undersecretaries, national senators, national deputies, and even El presidente himself will not receive a dime of taxpayer money until they solve the problem." Great ideas, too bad Congress would never allow it. Sundance at CTH points out Manufacturing Index Reflects Continued Strong Growth – Highest in 4 Years and Secretary Rubio Discusses Global Challenges and Hints Toward the Never Asked Question: "why have your views changed so dramatically in the past two years, and/or are you just playing a role." At Oil Price.com, Guyana’s Oil Boom Matters More Than Ever. "In a surprise development, the tiny South American nation of Guyana recently emerged as a major oil exporter. In a mere four years, the former British colony of one million went from first discovery to first oil. Guyana has cemented its place among South America’s leading oil producers, pumping nearly one million barrels per day, making it the continent’s third-largest oil producer. The rapid expansion of Guyana’s offshore oil industry will enhance energy security in the Americas at a crucial time, with heightened Middle East tensions sharply impacting global supply."

Matt Vespa says Oh, So Get a Load of the Judge Who Tossed Trump's NJ Lawsuit Over Its Voter Database "U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi granted a motion to dismiss filed by Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell, who also serves as secretary of state, and rejected the U.S. Department of Justice’s expansive interpretation of the Civil Rights Act of 1960... What do you expect from a jurist with this donation history? But even worse, this gobbledygook on Trump’s immigration agenda in February (via NYT):"
At News Wax, Report: US, Iran Near Deal to Open Strait of Hormuz for 60 Days. Cameron Arcand at TownHall hears Trump Halts Massive Iran Attack Plan. Here's Why. "The president reportedly spoke with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Saturday, who cautioned against massive strikes on the Islamic Republic, CNN reported." Don't listen. Keep pressure on the IRGC and mullahs. As PJM's Stephen Kruiser notes, Iran War Continues to Be Whatever Anyone Wants It to Be. "Iran has been the big, bad, moneybags wolf in the Middle East for a very long time, and the psycho clerics who run it are not amused by the idea of being kneecapped by the Great Satan. This was never going to be easy."
From Pirate's Cove, Oh Noes, MAGA Seizes On Mamdani’s Grocery Stores Requiring ID. Frank @richardrahl1086, "I was reliably told by Democrats that people poor people, the ones that would theoretically benefit most from these stores, do not have ID nor the means to obtain ID." Quote Kevin Bass @kevinnbass, "They refuse to require ID to vote. But they will require ID to use the government grocery store." PJM's Matt Margolis thinks Mamdani's Grocery Stores Expose the Democrats' Biggest Voter ID Lie and Bob Spencer believes In Mamdani’s New York, It’s 1933 All Over Again. Even Politico admits Democratic discontent with Mamdani mounts in New York City’s outer boroughs. John Sexton at Hat Hair hears Galloway: 'He's Implying We've Done Something Wrong' "He posted a list of 900,000 people, implying they'd all done something wrong, but only sent letters to 17,000 of them. That's less than 2 percent. Put another way, 98 percent of the people on the list got doxed for no reason other than Mamdani's desire to demonize them." From NYPo, NYC to unveil new Columbus statue as group sidesteps Mamdani’s middle finger.

From the Euro Con, More Than 1,500 Migrants Swim Into Spain as Ceuta Is Overwhelmed. State of the Day has State of Friday: BODIES + ‘SO MANY RIGHT WINGERS’ "Tens of thousands of military-aged men streamed over the border.

John Sexton continues the story of the Star Academic at Cambridge who Can't Back Up His Own Stories. Driscoll calls him JASON GUMP: Cambridge professor made impossible claim he was on Seven Up. Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi, "That there’s even a controversy about this story is incredible. If a Cambridge prof can plagiarize this carelessly and get away with it for years, and still have defenders, shows academia is totally broken." Quote Jesse Singal @jessesingal, "1/ In addition to the document's plagiarism, the title of Arday's PhD thesis has a grammatical error -- he puts an apostrophe after "teachers" that shouldn't be there -- that is repeated dozens or hundreds of times throughout the document." Campus Reform explores How college graduates became more likely to vote Democrat. "Once a Republican-leaning voting bloc, college graduates now overwhelmingly favor Democrats as campuses expand progressive activism beyond the humanities. The rise of student debt, declining confidence in higher education, and the spread of identity-based programming have coincided with a dramatic political realignment among college graduates." The College Fix reports Oklahoma colleges face federal complaint over nursing scholarship only for Native Americans and U.
