The Heart of the Matter

A new study published in the European Journal of Endocrinology revealed that male transvestites taking feminizing hormones are 93% more likely to suffer heart disease than other men. Female transvestites taking testosterone are 63% more likely to suffer heart disease than other women. [More]

So, the athletics issue may resolve itself…?

And did the study account for children as well as adults?

Bris and Tell

Hackers Access, Leak and Sell 23andMe User Data Targeting Ashkenazi Jews [More]

So how many vote Democrat and demand “universal background checks” along with licensing and registration…?

Sorry, I don’t trust any of the companies.

Even what they don’t share or sell can be subpoenaed. My guess is a prominent required Miranda-style “anything you submit” warning before signing up could put a damper on their businesses. I also wonder if a close relative DNA testing might be used in LEO fishing expeditions…

♫ And When the Revolution Comes… ♫

[T]he New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America prepares to hold a rally in solidarity with the Palestinian terrorists who have been parading bodies through the streets of Israel and wantonly killing civilians for the last day and a half. [More]

DSA?

I wonder if they’ll have music…

Achtung, Mitglieder der Hausbesitzervereinigung

Our homeowners’ association is considering banning guns everywhere in the community, including in the residents’ homes. Many of the residents are upset about this, while others are in favor of it. Is the association even able to enact this rule? [More]

Tyranny starts small, and always offers “justification.”

I always wondered what ever happened to Witless and Titless.

Highway Robbery

Thousands of drivers receiving speed camera tickets in small Summit County village… He said he is considering challenging the ticket, but the Stow Municipal Court requires that drivers who want to appeal the ticket pay $100. [More]

These $$holes are right next door to Hudson. You have to drive through there to get to most of my favorite walking trails.

If you took a look at the “solution” vs. the scope of the problem, it would be apparent this is all about revenue generation, and anyone who blurts out “public safety” is just mealy-mouthing an excuse to cover for this being a direct violation of the whole intent of Constitutional government to “secure the Blessings of Liberty.”

They also gouge you on parking. And requiring you to pay by phone seems discriminatory against technologically impaired older people who may struggle with Jitterbugs, acknowledged to be “designed to help older adults stay in touch with their loved ones” and that they only use for phone calls.

The other thing this is is an unconstitutional prior restraint on the First Amendment proscription to “make no law … prohibiting … the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

It’s analogous to a poll tax. Or a gun permit fee.

And every bit as discriminatory.

That seems like a good opportunity for a class action lawsuit.

And if I were a “real reporter,” with the resources of a news organization behind me, I’d be going through city records to find out who got the traffic cam contract, and also doing a public records request for all communications, correspondence, phone records, work papers, calibration records, and all relevant documentation showing city official interactions with them.

Mystery to Me

“At this time I believe that Mr. Kruger was trying to help Mr. Davis and they were acquaintances,” Marshmond said. “He was just trying to help him just get through life.” Marshmond said a motive for the killing has not been determined. [More]

Young, troubled black teen being “helped” by “openly queer” older, self-appointed “mentor”…

I wonder if Yul can help…

Keep Denying It, Gun Groups and Libertarians…

How this western battleground state shifted from purple to solid blue… “Our Hispanic population has burgeoned in recent years as a percentage of the population and the stance of the Republican on immigration has not helped”… [More]

Still no takers… even though that enabled this.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
