I took a look at this. It's a good outcome, but let me fill you in on a few facts so you understand how crazy it is that we had to litigate this at all.

In 2016, there was such a huge surge of migrants on the border that DHS couldn't possibly process them all. So it set limits, and would allow a small number into the US each day to be processed, and those people could then start the process of requesting asylum. The people standing at the border who couldn't get processed right away then filed a class action lawsuit, claiming their "rights" were violated. The District Court agreed with them, and the Ninth Circuit affirmed.

So our courts ruled that migrants - people who are not citizens of the United States - can use American law to sue the American government basically to let them in. That's a little simplified but more or less the case.

The statutory issue is when a migrant can be considered to have "arrived in the US." The lower courts held that a migrant has "arrived" the moment he reaches the border and has any contact with US border patrol. So when an agent STOPS someone from entering, the District Court and the Ninth Circuit ruled that the migrant had in fact "arrived" in the USA, such that he can take advantage of our laws and sue our government.

That is the madness that SCOTUS put a stop to today. Keep in mind also that this lawsuit has been going on since 2017. So for nearly 10 years, we have wasted resources to get a SCOTUS ruling that is just basic common sense.

That is because it's a glycoprotein that prompts the biology needed for hibernation-reproduction in Horseshoe bats - it's designed to lead to immune tolerance.

Researchers built a mouse with a human immune system to finally watch how human defenses fight COVID. They expected the virus to get wiped out. Instead, the human immune cells helped it spread from the lungs into other organs and muffled the body's own early alarm system🧵

@mtaibbi You would have to define safe and a lot of other parameters. You would also have to define your target group. Safe for neonates brain growth is entirely different than safe for adults to drive without impairment.

@sam_atis Just remember that these are NOT heat-stroke deaths, just deaths that occurred when it was hot outside.

Steve is right there’s no mean sex difference in general intelligence

But the variance difference is huge and well-documented, men are overrepresented at both tails

This single fact explains male dominance in genius-level achievement and male overrepresentation in failure, homelessness, and prisons

Encouraging News... Non-Natural Cause Mortality has reattained baseline.

1. Lockdowns combined with (the hypocrisy of) open borders killed 240K people over the last 6 years.

2. Securing the borders has served to ameliorate the excess fentanyl death rate (one quarter of this excess mortality).

3. The baseline crafted in my model practice was DEAD-ON salient (time is the most savvy peer review)

Old guy at the country club and I were chatting this weekend. We ended up talking about ADHD.

Im 32 and I learned alot from the talk.

He'd had ADHD 78 years. Before it had a name. Told me a few things that sounded backwards and worked better than any doctor I've paid.

First one: bin your to-do lists.

I don't think there has even been a more scriptural illiterate Pope in modern history. To wit:

2 Thessalonians 3:10 : "For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: 'The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."

Genesis 3:19 : "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

Proverbs 12:11 : "Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense."

@SrBez_ These are not unusual questions for someone who knows nothing about the sport or how National teams are put together. His kids will ask the same questions.
