This spring the U.S. Education Department reported that in the 2015-2016 school year, “nearly 240 schools … reported at least 1 incident involving a school-related shooting.” The number is far higher than most other estimates.

But NPR reached out to every one of those schools repeatedly over the course of three months and found that more than two-thirds of these reported incidents never happened.

And this is NPR, so you know it’s true.

 Actress-turned-gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon has laid out one very specific demand going into Wednesday’s televised debate with her primary opponent, New York’s incumbent Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo: she wants the temperature in the debate hall of Hofstra University on Long Island raised to 76 degrees for the event.

A top Nixon strategist, Rebecca Katz, reportedly emailed WCBS-TV ahead of the event, suggesting that a failure to agree to that particular temperature setting could be viewed as “sexist.” The New York Times, upon obtaining a copy of that email, reported, “Ms. Katz wrote that working conditions are ‘notoriously sexist when it comes to room temperature, so we just want to make sure we’re all on the same page here’.”

I’m really curious how a temperature can be ‘sexist’. I think it’s more a case of the candidate being ‘moronic’.

The Other McCain blows the whistle.

As I’ve been saying for months, the Mueller “investigation” isn’t really an investigation, it’s a cover-up, intended to conceal or distract attention from the illegal means by which corrupt Obama administration operatives sought to sabotage the Trump campaign. As the latest revelations show, however, the so-called “mainstream” media were an integral part of this anti-Trump operation, and so you cannot expect Democrat-controlled organizations like CNN and the Washington Post to tell the public the truth about all this. If all you know is the “news” you get from CNN, you have no idea what actually went on in the manufacturing of the phony “Russian collusion” story.

Francis Fukuyama turns over a rock.

For the most part, twentieth-century politics was defined by economic issues. On the left, politics centered on workers, trade unions, social welfare programs, and redistributive policies. The right, by contrast, was primarily interested in reducing the size of government and promoting the private sector. Politics today, however, is defined less by economic or ideological concerns than by questions of identity. Now, in many democracies, the left focuses less on creating broad economic equality and more on promoting the interests of a wide variety of marginalized groups, such as ethnic minorities, immigrants and refugees, women, and LGBT people. The right, meanwhile, has redefined its core mission as the patriotic protection of traditional national identity, which is often explicitly connected to race, ethnicity, or religion.

Arthur Herman has a good recollection over at National Review of the climax of the Democratic Party’s disastrous 1968 national convention in Chicago exactly 50 years ago on this date. It was unhappiness with the grassroots of the party that led to the “reforms” that disempowered party bosses and insiders and made the Democratic Party more populist (that’s before “populism” became a dirty word for liberals), resulting in such sterling subsequent nominees as George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, and Michael Dukakis.

America experienced another tragedy over the weekend — this time in Jacksonville, Florida — and like the overwhelming majority of mass public shootings, Sunday’s incident also occurred in a gun-free zone.

Two bystanders were killed after a gunman opened fired at a Madden 19 Tournament at Jacksonville Landing, an open-air retail center with stores, bars and restaurants. Jacksonville Landing prohibits the possession of any type of firearm, regardless of whether it is carried legally or not (except for by law enforcement), making it a gun-free zone.

“Possession of a weapon, even if legally carried (except by law enforcement officers) is absolutely prohibited on Landing property,” according to the Jacksonville Landing website.

Yeah, I guess that worked out really well for them, didn’t it? If I didn’t have anything better to do I’d make up a bunch of signs that said CRAZY MASS SHOOTERS, GET YOUR VICTIMS HERE! and plant them in front of any establishment advertising itself as a ‘gun free zone’. Maybe they’d get the message.

I’m waiting for somebody wounded at a mass shooting at a ‘gun free zone’ to sue the establishment. That would be entertaining.

Scott Adams has a theory: If Trump gets pushed out of office, then Hillary will go to jail.

UPDATE: Scott Adams: If Donald Trump Goes Down, Hillary Clinton Goes to Prison

Rush Limbaugh is having a great deal of fun this day playing sound bites of Democrats tongue-bathing McCain (now that he’s dead) in conjunction with what those same Democrats said about him (The New Hitler) when he dared to run for President against the Half-Blood Prince. Once he performed his Republican Duty by losing, he went back to being the war-hero darling of the DemLegHump Media. CNN’s Jake Tapper has admitted that the chief value of McCain’s death is that it provides them with a rhetorical stick with which to beat Trump.

Just as Doonesbury’s Reverend Scott Sloane was the Fighting Young Priest Who Can Talk to the Young, John McCain was the Maverick Republican Who Can Reach Across the Aisle. Like the other members of the RINO Fringe in the Senate, his function was to trash-talk his own party and provide bipartisan cover for whatever silly scheme Democrats had on their menu.

Taken twice a day, the drug is an appetite suppressant that works by stimulating brain chemicals to induce a feeling of fullness.

Appetite suppressants only work to lose weight for people who only eat when they are actually hungry. Most people eat three times a day out of habit, and eat beyond the full point because they were trained by their parents to eat everything in front of them. (Remember the ‘Clean Plate Club’? I do.)

The key to weight control is to stop eating when you stop being hungry, no matter how much food is still uneaten. Yes, you wind up wasting food at first, but you soon adjust your portions to your appetite.

The following video is an excellent introduction by Dr. Jay Smith to the deconstruction by Western scholars of the Koran, Mohammed, and Islam itself. Using hermeneutics, textual analysis, archaeology, and other modern disciplines, he demonstrates that the three principal elements of Islam could not possibly be factually true in the way they are traditionally expounded:

1.		Mohammed
2.		The Koran
3.		Mecca

The archaeology and relevant historical documents simply do not support the traditions of Islam. Something happened in Arabia between the 7th and 10th centuries, but it certainly wasn’t what is described in the Koran, the Hadith, and the Sira.
