Fox News: Ohio Lawmakers like Pete Rose
This is embarrassing. Ohio lawmakers should have something more productive to do than mettle in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Boston Herald: Pro-Palestinian Protestors
So we are back to this. City and university administration doing as little as possible to maintain order.
These Emerson students should be back on campus, trying to figure out their sexuality. That’s become too political, so they dress in their best grunge outfits and protest for something they don’t understand.
Emerson’s new president, Jay Bernhardt, wrote yesterday that the college supports “our community’s right to express their views through protest. However, they must do so in a manner consistent with the laws of the City of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.”
At least administrators and city officials are saying the right things, but they won’t follow through.
A court official released the students on a “promise to return” on their scheduled dates.
Really? A better response would be to charge them with three or four misdemeanors and set bail at a couple of thousand dollars. Tuition at Emerson is $54k. They can afford it.
An Instagram post just before the arrests show a man with a bullhorn instructing the students on how to “form ranks 4 lines thick” and “resist police,” the post states.
It would also be a good idea to find out who that man is, who trained him and who is funding this disruption. Where did the tents come from? None of those chubby rascals look like they spend many weekends hiking around Acadia National Park.
Another solution would be to leave the police out of it and let the townies clear out the malcontents
White House: Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility
On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.
This doesn’t make sense. It seems like transgender folks would have a Transgender Day of Invisibility. If a person’s objective is to be accepted as a member of the opposite sex, the intent should be to commit to the role and convincingly deceive the casual observer.
LA Times: Three things might help Biden
The answers fall into three broad categories: Over the next seven months, voters could begin feeling better about the country; a larger share of them could begin to warm to Biden; or the president could win votes from people who disapprove of him.
Compared to the last Trump v. Biden election, Biden doesn’t have much help. Last time, the broad categories of game-changers was more impressive.
Prestigious news organizations like NPR and NYT intentionally suppressed news coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop. They surrendered all of their integrity, but the people on top will land on their feet.
The Obama administration recruited foreign and domestic spy agencies to assist in investigating and impugning a candidate for president of the United States.
Social media companies complied with directives from the federal government to censor and manipulate free speech on their platforms.
With Biden’s frailty and unpopularity, we expect the DNC to pull a rabbit out of it’s hat. It won’t have to be a much of a rabbit, and nobody will ever see the hat, but corporate media will paper over any issues.
When did Bruce Springsteen turn into an albino?
NYT: What’s the matter with Ohio?
These East coast elitist dickheads can’t be very bright because they keep trying to win us over with these articles about why we are so dim.
If you aren’t familiar with him, Paul Krugman is the George Costanza of Nobel prize winning economists. Krugman could take the opinion that was the exact opposite of everything he thinks, and he would be more correct and respected.
For many years, Ohio has been thought of as a bellwether state: With rare exceptions, whoever won Ohio in a presidential election won the nation as a whole. But in 2020, Donald Trump won Ohio by about eight points even as Joe Biden led the national popular vote by more than four points and, of course, won the Electoral College vote.
Planet Fitness doesn’t judge perverts.
Working out with my brother has been going well. We have worked out three times per week for over six months. We’ve only missed three or four days in that entire time. I’m working out with 150 lbs on the bench press. That’s 30 lbs more than I did in high school. I am up at least a couple of plates on every station. It’ a shame that has to end. We have to resign from Planet Fitness and find somewhere else.
The guy in the photo was shaving in the women’s locker room at Planet Fitness. The woman who took the photo was in the women’s locker room along with other women and a 12 year old girl.
It’s clear that this man does not sincerely believe that he is a woman. He looks to be in his 40’s, so isn’t some mixed up kid. He is sporting a man’s haircut. Shaving in the Planet Fitness locker room emphasizes that he is a man, and is an attempt to mock the women who are present.
The man is a degenerate who finds it gratifying to make women feel powerless and humiliated. If he wanted to be sensitive to their reasonable concerns, he could have changed in a stall or before he came to the gym. Alternatively, he should have made every effort to appear to be a woman.
The woman who took the photo, because she wanted photographic proof, had her membership cancelled by Planet Fitness.
Boycotting Bud Light was easy because it sucks. There is a Planet Fitness gym near my house, my brother’s house and almost anywhere I’m likely to go. For $30 per month, it’s a great value. Finding a suitable alternative won’t be easy.
We will have to ask about the transgender locker room policy at any gym we consider.

I wouldn’t have thought that an article about a 70 year-old fashion influencer would resonate with me, but here we are.
I did not know that.
Ann Althouse explains that the bully pulpit is not a pulpit to bully.
In 1909, President Theodore Roosevelt exclaimed: “I suppose my critics will call that preaching, but I have got such a bully pulpit!” First, clearly, he was using “bully” — as he often did — to mean very good or excellent. And he used the word “pulpit,” because he knew he was preaching, that is, proclaiming righteous opinions in public.
This comes up due to legal issues resulting from the Biden administration’s manipulation and coercion of social media platforms to suppress free speech.
This article is about social media influencers. That’s boring, but I like the term they coined.
