Alone on the wall, freestyle soloist Alex Hunnold, climbed 3,000 feet up El Capitan’s shear wall without ropes or safety gear—just fingertips and sticky-shoed toes—in four minutes shy of four hours.
He says he’s accepted death, so isn’t overly bothered by fear. But he carries a bag of chalk dust to dry the perspiration off his hands. Well, I guess.

“This is a good example of fake news of an unusually important kind. One of the great issues of our time is whether ‘normal’ Muslims are willing to take decisive action against Islamic terrorism. The evidence so far is not encouraging; if it were, CNN and the AP wouldn’t need to stage photo-ops.”

UPDATE: Incredibly, Certainly Not News’ allies in the biz (including Fox) ignored the video showing them handing out the protest signs and did standard denial stories like the video never existed. So did Snopes, which has become utterly untrustworthy.

A bit skinny for my tastes, but Israeli Gal Gadot makes a fine Wonder Woman in the soon-to-be-released sword and machine guns epic.
A Minnesota fugitive managed to shoot dead two Corpus Christi bounty hunters as they killed him at a Greenville Nissan dealership Tuesday evening, according to FoxNews.
It was the most excitement in Greenville, about 50 miles northeast of Dallas, in many a year. The Texas Association of Licensed Investigators will now have some explaining to do as one of the dead bounty hunters, Fidel Garcia, was a board member. Like, why wasn’t he a better shot?

“The Paris Accords on Climate,” writes scifi author Jerry Pournelle, “have reduced Germany to a state in which electricity is a luxury good according to Der Spiegel; so naturally President Trump is exhorted to agree to this nonsense.
“After all, the Europeans have; why should we be spared the economic pain? Surely Europe’s misery from self inflicted wounds is a more pressing problem for the US than the agenda Mr. Trump was elected for? Perhaps Senator McCain will tell us what the Paris Accords will do for the Earth, Europe, South America, various other places, and, perhaps even how they would affect the United States. We have natural gas; making it more expensive will certainly help Russia. Perhaps that’s it.”
Naw. President Trump should dump the accords on the climate schuck as soon as possible. Let the Mediacrats, Europe and the “Resistance” howl. They would find something to bitch about anyway.

UPDATE: More reasons to dump the accords: “American families would be paying more while making less.“

He tweeted a typo: “Despite the negative press covfefe.” It went viral.
Covfefe? The scolds of the fake news site Certainly Not News, which is anti-Trump 24/7, said the Internet was “baffled.”
Actually, much of the blogosphere enjoyed the joke. “It’s Slovenian for gotcha suckers!” wrote commenter exildedonmainstreet at althouse.blogspot.com
Indeed, Trump soon followed up with: “Who can figure out the true meaning of ‘covfefe’??? Enjoy!”
Nice to see that he has the self-confidence to be self-deprecating, even under constant Mediacrat attack. Unlike some other presidents the Mediacrats adored.

UPDATE: Sean Spicer gets a dry little joke out of it and Allahpundit concludes it may have been the go word for SEAL Team 6 to seize North Korea’s nuclear facilities.
