A tempest in a tea-pot. It is very easy both to gain weight and to lose weight eating at McDonalds, depending on what you eat and how much. Reading all of these bloviators, you’d think that McDonalds gave you a quart of Soylent for your meal and that was all you could get.
Eat one Egg McMuffin ($3.24) for breakfast, one McChicken sandwich ($1.08) for lunch, and one McChicken sandwich ($1.08) for dinner, and you will (a) lose weight if you weigh over 200 pounds and (b) gain weight if you weigh less than 120 pounds.

The 2018 midterm will bring many new faces to Washington, but few will find as much adoration as Ilhan Omar. One of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, Omar, who will represent Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, is a Somali refugee with a celebrity aura and an uplifting story.
What went curiously unmentioned in all the flattering post-election coverage, however, was that Omar, who replaces Keith Ellison — a former acolyte of anti-Semitic minister Louis Farrakhan — also has some exotic notions about the Jewish people.

The Washington Post keeps coming up with ways to broadcast anti-Trump screeds in a form that misleadingly suggests its reporting the news honestly. We’ve become familiar with variations of the following locution: “This report is based on interviews with 38 individuals with knowledge of the situation, including senior White House officials.” It allows the Post to pick and choose among the people it talked to and report pretty much whatever it likes — even if most of these people, including all the ones at the White House with first-hand knowledge, said something different.
Now, the Post is attacking Trump in headlines attributing the attack to “critics.” Today, for example, the lead headline on the front page (paper edition) blared “Trump’s absence rankles critics” (a reference to Trump missing a ceremony in France honoring the World War I dead, due to bad weather). The Post has also used this approach to headline writing accuse Trump of racism, among other things.
Critics said lots of unpleasant things about President Obama. I don’t think the Post ever wrote headlines that parroted these attacks and then attributed them to critics. “Obama too anxious to cut deal with Iran, critics say” was never a Post headline, I’m pretty sure.

Steve Sailer is not yet tired of being correct, which is (unfortunately) not quite the same as winning.
Since 2009, I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of Sailer’s Law of Female Journalism: “The most heartfelt articles by female journalists tend to be demands that social values be overturned in order that, Come the Revolution, the journalist herself will be considered hotter-looking.”
But female journalists continue to strive tirelessly to make my snark look like a Law of Nature. For example, here’s a colossal new article in the New York Times by a white-looking part-Asian woman editor about how devastating it is for her to look in the mirror in this racist society due to White Privilege.

Steve Sailer fisks some cucks.
As of 2014 perhaps 3/5ths to 2/3rds of all Puerto Ricans lived in the 50 states rather than PR, so this doesn’t seem like a particularly reassuring example. And since 2014, things have gone really badly in PR and maybe we are now up to perhaps 70% of Puerto Ricans being on the mainland (or Hawaii, which has more than a few Puerto Ricans from old sugar cane days). And that’s despite lavish tax breaks and welfare to keep them on the island.
The Democrats benefit from letting PR fall apart via corruption, incompetence, and apathy, so that Puerto Ricans will move to Orlando and vote Democratic. We’ll find out whether that strategy has already tipped Florida blue shortly.
But reproducing Puerto Rico globally doesn’t seem to worry AEI too much …

Trump is leaving a trail of ruin behind him Certainly from the viewpoint of the Washington Post. I can’t say that bothers me much.
The Absurd Argument of the New Acting Attorney General, Matthew Whitaker, to Justify Reining in Robert Mueller Yeah, expecting Mueller to limit his investigation to stuff about the election is just so Republican.

#StrawManTrump ‘No, Trump Is Not Diminished’
Trump’s Effort to Hobble the Mueller Investigation Must Be Stopped All he’s done is replaced his Attorney General, which he is certainly entitled to do. But the knee-jerk reaction is that it somehow ‘hobbles’ the Mueller investigation. (And how do they intend to ‘stop’ it? He’s the President.)
#StrawManTrump It’s true Democrats should make compromises with Trump – like painting smiley suns on cages before putting babies in This is the sort of deranged commentary that unfortunately erupts far to often in the establishment press (like a case of boils).
Trump is right about many things, which is why he must be stopped That, at least, is honest.

The BBC is a government-owned Voice of the Crust, so they worry about ‘inequality’ without bothering to think about or attempt to explain why they believe that it’s a problem. IT JUST IS! is the sum of their thinking on the subject, if I may so misuse the term.
Amidst a word-salad of proper socialist base-touching and virtue-signaling, however, this Servant of the Crust reveals that the Mass of Deplorables in most countries think that inequality (in the form of what portion of the population owns what portion of the ‘wealth’ in that country) is vastly greater than it actually is.
He then engages in the typical hand-waving sociological jargon about why that is, without bothering to consider the obvious reason: It’s a problem because everything people read in the news and hear on TV and radio Just Assumes that it is.

Prizes are awarded on the basis of criteria. Presumably those criteria are connected some way with the reason for the prize. For example, a prize for winning a race is given to the person who runs the fastest, which is innately connected to the nature of a ‘race’.
To assert that we don’t have enough diversity in prize-winners (or race-winners) is to assert that the prizes ought to be awarded on some basis other than the reason for the prize. The ultimate expression of this would be to award the prize based on ‘diversity’ and totally ignoring the actual reason for the prize. Doing so fundamentally ignores the purpose for having a prize in the first place. Prize winners will win prizes for who they are rather than what they do.
It is totally absurd for a site called ‘Wired Science’ to publish so anti-science an article.
