Know Them by the Company They Keep 0

At Above the Law, Joe Patrice argues that the Trump maladministration’s legal attach on Southern Poverty Law Center makes gossamer look like corduroy and offers a theory as to why the SPLC is under attack. Here’s a bit from his article (emphasis added); follow the link for context.

Why does such a flimsy a case get brought?

Well, from the president on down, the administration has clearly and, frankly, loudly proclaimed that it brought these charges for the purpose of punishing the SPLC for shining a spotlight on hate groups that Donald Trump considers valued supporters.

Real Big Men 0

At the Psychology Today website, Barbara J. Risman takes a look at Pete Hegseth’s wierd fixation with testerone. She makes three main points; follow the link for her article.

  • There is no good scientific reason for testing troops’ testosterone levels.
  • Hormones affect us, but not in linear fashion; high levels of testosterone don’t trigger killer instincts.
  • Screening for low testosterone provides a seemingly objective way to push women out of the military.
