🗞️ Israeli PM Netanyahu said he spoke with President Trump, and Trump “reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon.” The remarks come as Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem says the memorandum of understanding currently being negotiated includes a ceasefire in Lebanon, but Israel is pushing Washington to include language allowing continued military operations in Lebanon under the justification of responding to “any threat.” According to Hashem, Iran has rejected that formulation and is insisting on a sustainable, lasting ceasefire.







My response to the historic foreign interference in the Kentucky congressional race of Thomas Massie. Tonight the Epstein class is celebrating their defeat of the populist Thomas Massie. In the end they will realize they only won a battle to ultimately lose the war.










A peer-reviewed paper published last year in the journal Bioethics by two professors at Western Michigan University School of Medicine argues that it is "morally obligatory" to genetically engineer ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome, a permanent condition that makes you violently allergic to red meat. The paper is called "Beneficial Bloodsucking." Their argument: if eating meat is morally wrong, then preventing the spread of a disease that forces people to stop eating meat is also morally wrong. Scientists should gene-edit lone star ticks to enhance their ability to carry alpha-gal syndrome and expand their range into urban environments to infect more people. They call this a "moral bioenhancer." They frame releasing genetically modified disease-carrying ticks as a "vaccination" that only "infringes" on your bodily autonomy rather than "violating" it. The distinction, apparently, is that a tick bit you instead of a government official holding you down. Alpha-gal syndrome is not mild. The CDC estimates up to 450,000 Americans are already affected. Cases have surged 100-fold in the last decade. Symptoms include anaphylaxis. There is no cure. Alpha-gal cases are exploding across the United States. The lone star tick's range is expanding far beyond its historical territory. And two academics at a medical school published a paper arguing this is a good thing that should be accelerated. At what point do we stop treating papers like this as fringe academic exercises and start asking whether anyone is already acting on them?
