Science has fallen into disrepute. Widespread fraud, studies that can’t be replicated, corruption in the World Health Organization, politics masquerading as science, the covid disaster–these and other developments have severely damaged the public’s trust in science and scientists.
Can trust in science be restored? President Trump is going to try. On May 23, he issued an Executive Order titled “Restoring Gold Standard Science,” which hasn’t gotten as much attention as it deserves.
The order begins with a statement of Policy and Purpose:
Over the last 5 years, confidence that scientists act in the best interests of the public has fallen significantly. A majority of researchers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics

When future economic historians examine the fates of U.S. Steel and America’s industrial base, they will find a perfect case study in two competing styles of leadership: Joe Biden’s passive, protectionist failure and Donald Trump’s confrontational, results-driven success.
Consider the facts. In December 2023, Nippon Steel offered to acquire U.S. Steel for $14.9 billion. It was a bold bid by a top-tier Japanese firm eager to invest in U.S. manufacturing and benefit from America’s bipartisan infrastructure push. But what began as a potentially transformative industrial partnership immediately ran into political headwinds – not because it lacked promise, but because Joe Biden bowed to union pressures

We saw it after Watergate. The parties involved with almost every aspect of the cover-up cut some sort of book deal. Woodward and Bernstein wrote All the President’s Men which amplified their involvement as members of the media. G. Gordon Liddy wrote Will where he accepted responsibility for his actions. John Dean penned Blind Ambition to paint himself in a favorable light. Most got hefty advances from publishers for their tomes, and a few got movie deals. After Watergate there were cries to prevent this kind of profiteering, but nothing was done.
Now, with Biden’s mental collapse, we see the grifters emerge once more.

If they weren’t so evil and dangerous, the Democrats would be a nonstop laugh riot. The ongoing clown show of Minnesota governor and failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz trying to act as if he is a regular guy and appeal to the regular guys that the Dems have worked so assiduously to drive away could be a hit sitcom: In this episode, the soft all-over, painfully out-of-touch far-left politician tries to load a hunting rifle and pretend he has done it hundreds of times before! And in the latest episode, he tries yet again to come off as a real man by telling

Mohamed Sabry Soliman is the Egyptian illegal who attacked Jews in Boulder, Colorado with an improvised flamethrower and Molotov cocktails. He has a wife and five children, all of whom evidently are also illegal immigrants. Happily, the authorities are throwing the book at Mohamed, and the Trump administration announced its intention to uphold the rule of law by deporting the rest of the family.
Not so fast! A Joe Biden-appointed federal judge, Gordon Gallagher, swung into action, issuing a temporary restraining order barring the deportations, without waiting to hear from the government.

Over the weekend our friend Bill Shipley wrote about the “trans woman” pitcher who is powering the Champlin Park high school girls’ softball team to the state championship game tomorrow — Bloomington Jefferson versus Champlin Park. Marissa Rothenberger is the pitcher’s legal name. Bill anticipated Rothenberger’s impact on the tournament in the essay “How One Young Man Altered The Landscape of Girls’ High School Softball In Minnesota.”
As I observed here earlier this week in connection with the USA Powerlifting lawsuit that is pending in the Minnesota Supreme Court, reality has its claims. What is to be done? As Rothenberger powers Champlin Park through the tournament to the championship game, silence

The BBC reports that Vladimir Putin has told U.S. President Donald Trump that he will have to respond to Ukraine's major drone attack, codenamed Spider’s Web, on Russian airbases.
Speaking after a phone call with the Russian president, Trump said: "President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields."
Russian officials declined to confirm this on Wednesday night, but Moscow had earlier said that military options were "on the table" for its response.
Trump warned in a social media post that the phone call, which lasted more than an hour, would not "lead to immediate peace" between Russia and Ukraine.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice started investigating former President Joe Biden’s pardons, specifically the preemptive pardons he gave his family and clemency for 37 prisoners on federal death row.
Biden pardoned:
Hunter Biden
Brother James and his wife Sara
Brother Francis
Sister Valerie and her husband John Owens
The preemptive pardon for Hunter infuriated numerous people, especially since it covers charges he faced or might have faced from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024.
Unfortunately, Reuters reported the DOJ investigation first. I say unfortunately because, of course, the author tried to water down the pardons and the possibility that Biden didn’t even sign them by attacking Trump.
Anyway, the wire organization reviewed an email

To kick off “Pride Pervert month” — best known as June — the moral degenerates of West Hollywood paraded this (warning: graphic) in front of children: (Snip) That sure looks like grooming to me! Of course, when you or I call out this evil for what it is, almost certainly we get labeled with what I have long referred to as “the dumbest word in the English language.” That word is “homophobe” (which stems from the equally dumb word “homophobia”).
“Homophobia” was coined by psychologist and gay activist George Weinberg in his 1972 book Society and the Healthy Homosexual. The book was published one year prior to the

Two staffers from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., were murdered in cold blood last week. A young radical chanting “free Palestine” was arrested after allegedly gunning them down outside an American Jewish Committee event at the Capital Jewish Museum. The victims were a young couple on the cusp of engagement, whose bright future together was extinguished in an instant by a fanatic who apparently wanted to “globalize the Intifada.” That’s the phrase chanted at anti-Israel demonstrations—referring to the terror campaigns that killed thousands of Israelis decades ago—and scrawled on statues and campus buildings. Consider the Intifada globalized.

The author of Glengarry Glen Ross, Speed-the-Plow, and American Buffalo, David Mamet may be our greatest living playwright. His new book is The Disenglightenment: Politics, Horror, and Entertainment (don’t spellcheck me, bro). Andrew Ferguson told the story of Mamet’s turn to conservatism in the 2004 Weekly Standard article “Converting Mamet.” Making the rounds to support his new book, Mamet offered this truth blast last night on Jesse Watters Primetime. (X) Which reminds me.
On the local front I have sought to draw attention to the case of JayCee Cooper v. USA Powerlifting in several posts accessible here. The case raises the question

There are few doubts in the White House about Jill “Lady Macbeth” Biden’s role in covering up her husband’s cognitive deficits as she urged him to run for re-election.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made that point crystal clear from the press room podium Thursday, saying the former first lady “needs to answer” for “lying to the American people” and “shielding her husband away from the cameras.”
For the normally circumspect Leavitt, it was a damning indictment. “I think, frankly, the former first lady should certainly speak up about what she saw in regards to her husband and when she saw and what she knew,” she told reporters at
