Sometime in the next couple days I’m going to formalize a new regular feature, Power Line’s Political Lexicon, which we’ll update regularly (especially with reader help). For now, I’ll offer the newest entry:

Expert (noun): People who are wrong about everything. Usually collaborators in Groupthink, and employed by government agencies or a university.

Exhibit 1:

Corollary: Whenever a news story says “experts say,” you can stop reading, or turn to the obituaries, where some of the reported facts might be true.

Okay, Groomers

Proponents of instructing small children in perverse sexual practices get offended when people point out that the children are being groomed. But what else can you call it? The invaluable Libs of TikTok has documented not just one or two, but numerous elementary school teachers who proudly boast of what can only be termed grooming of their pre-teen students.

Then we have the Drag the Kids to Pride event that was held yesterday in a Texas gay bar:

A Texas gay bar hosted a “Drag the Kids to Pride” event where drag queen dancers provocatively gyrated in front of children as young as toddlers. …

The Mr. Misster gay bar in downtown Dallas hosted the drag queen event aimed at children.
***
“Our under 21 guests can enjoy a special Mr. Misster Mocktails while the moms and dads can sip on one of our classic Mr. Misster Mimosa Towers,” the poster reads. “Do you want to hit the stage with the queens? We have FIVE limited spots for young performers to take the stage solo, or with a queen of their choosing! Come hangout with the Queens and enjoy this unique pride experience, fit for guests of all ages!”

At the link, you can see a number of appalling videos. Here are two of them. These kids are obviously being groomed into a gay lifestyle. Note the neon sign: “It’s not gonna lick itself.” Another sign in the bar said, “I licked it so it’s mine.”


One cannot imagine how parents can expose their young children to such insanity. In general, children should be pulled out of the inept and failing public schools, which have now added perverse indoctrination to their other sins. But when parents go out of their way to inflict perversity on their kids, one can only despair.

Loose Ends (172)

You know what’s really going to hold up Russia’s war against Ukraine? Climate change. Because of course it is. The latest extreme unction from the climatistas is a primal scream in the New York Review of Books about how climate change is going to ruin Russia, and why its fossil-fuel dependent economy may have helped cause this war in the first place. That’s the great thing about climate change nowadays—it can explain everything, and getting rid of fossil fuels will solve everything.

Russia's days of hydrocarbon-funded might are numbered. Unfortunately, the end of this era will not come soon enough for Ukrainians, or for the planet. . . in the redistribution of wealth and power that will result from climate change, Russia is doomed.

This part is especially fun:

About two thirds of Russia is covered in permafrost, a mixture of sand and ice that, until recently, remained frozen year-round. As permafrost melts, walls built on it fracture, buildings sink, railways warp, roads buckle, and pipelines break. Anthrax from long-frozen reindeer corpses has thawed and infected modern herds.

Anthrax! That ought to make everyone change their mind.

So I’m now thinking Homer Simpson may be the healthiest person on the planet?

Decades of Scientific Theory Disproven: Beneficial Health Effects Found From High Background Radiation Exposure

Surprisingly, exposure to a high background radiation might actually lead to clear beneficial health effects in humans, according to Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Nuclear Research Center Negev (NRCN) scientists. This is the first large-scale study which examines the two major sources of background radiation (terrestrial radiation and cosmic radiation), covering the entire U.S. population.

The study's findings were recently published in Biogerontology.

Background radiation is an ionizing radiation that exists in the environment because of natural sources. In their study, BGU researchers show that life expectancy is approximately 2.5 years longer among people living in areas with a relatively high vs. low background radiation.

Background radiation includes radiation emanating from space, and radiation from terrestrial sources. Since the 1960s, there has been a linear no-threshold hypothesis guiding policy that any radiation level carries some risk. Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent around the world to reduce radiation levels as much as possible.

Another day, another leftist liberal revealing the hypocrisy behind “white privilege”:

Canada's fake 'Indigenous' professor resigns

A Canadian professor whose claims of Indigenous ancestry were found baseless has resigned from employment at the University of Saskatchewan, according to a June 1 news release from Preston Smith, dean of the College of Medicine.

Carrie Bourassa taught in the department of community health and epidemiology and ran an Indigenous community health research lab at the university, the CBC reported.

Bourassa had claimed to belong to three Canadian Indigenous peoples, according to the Star Phoenix, the daily newspaper of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

However, an October 2021 CBC investigation into Bourassa's genealogy found no evidence of Indigenous ancestry and traced her lineage back to Europe and the United States.

Funny how this keeps happening. It’s almost as though leftists think that “people of color” enjoy some kind of favoritism at universities, even though we all know higher education is a nest of neoliberal oppression and white supremacy. Elizabeth Warren should hold hearings.
