BECAUSE HUMANS ARE INCREASINGLY STUPID MALEDUCATED: Artificial Intelligence will be smarter than any human around the end of next year.

I blame Democrats.

VERIFYING WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW: seedy links between media, NGOs, and the far Left.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE BRAIN: "[A]ll the ills that Planet Earth is and has forever been heir to -- quakes, fires, floods, high winds, rough seas, soil erosion, volcanoes, temperatures well below zero and above 100 -- have triggered an aboriginal, superstitious reaction among the panicky, the feeble-minded, and the credentialed-but-uneducated."

TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT: Migrants are 'pawns' to Joe Biden (and the blue-state elites).

SCHOOL’S OUT FOREVER as education bosses use any excuse to skip class.

BY A FACTOR OF TWO: Trump campaign fundraiser crushes Biden’s.

It's looking better and better, but don't get cocky.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON ON TWITTER: Why are they destroying us?

As to why, Hanson postulates 4 reasons. I'm comfortable with the first three, but I also think #4, with a touch of crazy, is an equally significant factor.

ISRAEL SHOULD COMPLY: Hamas just begged Israel to finish them off.

THE LEFT wants to destroy your neighborhood.

They want us in high-rise apartments with no cars living in 15-minute cities -- the easier to be controlled.

MAKING MONEY: Linemen for the county. An energy firm’s pre-apprenticeship program points to ways that states could help train future employees in the skilled trades.

Not bad. Not bad at all. It's about what I was making when I retired 10 years ago. (And I have a PhD in engineering.)

I WISH THE HEADLINE SAID 'ALL': U.S. says it destroyed Houthi air defense and drone systems in Red Sea area.

AMMO GRRRLL gets in the spirit of a renowned international day with CELEBRATE NORMIES’ INVISIBILITY DAYS (Days ending in “Y”).

She's on a tear this week; go read it all.

FROM POWERLINE'S Week in Pictures, I have two favorites in this edition. This is from Biden's announcement that his government would rebuild the Francis Scott Key bridge:

And this is his presidential campaign team:

Now go see the rest.

IMPRIMIS: Disparate impact thinking is destroying our civilization.

It is urgent that we fight back against disparate impact thinking. As long as racism remains the only allowable explanation for racial disparities, the Left wins, and our civilization will continue to crumble.

Read it all. Then think about it. Think seriously about it.

TRUMP CAUSED THE ECLIPSE TODAY; here's proof.

TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG: DC crime rate is not a problem if you have taxpayer funded armed security detail.

WOKE IS A JOKE: This week's wins in transfantasy land.

TRIFECTA! The No Labels party has no ideas, no candidates, and no clue.

That statement applies equally -- if not more so -- to Democrats.

SATIRE? 'I didn't do that,' insists Biden After aides ask him who colored on the wall of the Lincoln bedroom.

Are you sure it's satire?

THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SELL AT THAT PRICE: 99 cents only stores are all closing.
