Tough Steyn Column-- Spiked By The Telegraph (U.K.)This column is well worth reading, but it's bound to be controversial. Basically, Steyn asks the hard questions we don't like to face: None of us can know for certain how we would behave in [Kenneth Bigley's] circumstances, and very few of us will ever face them. But, if I had to choose in advance the very last words I’d utter in this life, “Tony Blair has not done enough for me” would not be high up on the list. First, because it’s the all but official slogan of modern Britain, the dull rote whine of the churlish citizen invited to opine on waiting lists or public transport, and thus unworthy of the uniquely grisly situation in which Mr Bigley found himself. And, secondly, because those words are so at odds with the spirit of a life spent, for the most part, far from these islands. Ken Bigley seems to have found contemporary Britain a dreary, insufficient place and I doubt he cared about who was Prime Minister from one decade to the next. Read the whole thing. Thanks to, errr, some guy I don't know if I can credit. posted by Ace at 03:08 PM

Jamaal Bowman declared that Hamas committed no rapes, calling the stories "propaganda." Then he denied he'd ever said this. Then he apologized for the remark he previously claimed to have not made in the first place. Spoiler alert: The nonpology didn't work.

Cool live performance of "What a Fool Believes"
In this interview, Kenny Loggins tells the story of co-writing the song with Michael McDonald. After writing it, they were both going to release their own versions of the song. They agreed that Kenny Loggins would release his first. But due to a delay in his album, the Doobie Brothers' version came out first, and became a huge hit. Loggins' version is little-remembered and, to be honest, justifiably obscure. After What a Fool Believes, they wrote another song, which they thought should be a deliberately bad song so that they didn't jinx themselves. But that was a big hit too: "This Is It," with Loggins on main vocal and McDonald on backing vocals.
Confirmed: CNN is telling new media they can't use the feed from the debate
They've given permission to all of the other legacy outlets, though.
Fun fact: the English word "tidings" -- news, information -- derives from an old verb tidan meaning "to happen." More interestingly, the ancient word is (mostly) preserved in the German word for "newspaper" -- Zeitung.

Douglas Murray absolutely merks paid Hamas propagandist (and former MSNBC host) Mehdi Hassan at the Munk debate on antisemitism and the "anti-Zionism" it's usually disguised as
One style point deducted from Douglas Murray because he is very mean on a personal level, but two points rewarded because Mehdi Hassan deserves it so much Murray brings up Pakistan, a state "created" about the same time as Israel, and notes that if someone said "I think the state of Pakistan should be abolished, and I don't believe Pakistanis have the right to their own state," we would not believe them when they then added, "Of course, I have nothing against the Pakistani people myself..."

The claims that the fences erected around the Supreme Court indicated a pro-Trump ruling on the way are false; the video of the fences was from the Roe v. Wade decision in 2022
