iness school scandal that just keeps getting bigger. And the scandal is professors at the business school writing academic papers that are fraudulent. Let's see, what terrible business school has that? I mean, I'd sure hate to have a degree. Can you imagine having a degree from one of these crappy business schools that you find out the professors are all a bunch of, see what business school was it…

So there are fewer Democrat men with guns, and there are more Republican women with guns than there were recently. I'm surprised by that. I actually thought everybody would have more guns, but apparently the men have decided they don't need them, but the Republican women are strapped.
Since 2019, 33% of GOP ladies have been packing heat. Is that true? Is that true that one third of Republican women are gun owners? That's way more than I thought. I would guess 10%. It's pretty impressive. That's up from 22% a few years earlier than that. Pretty impressive.
Meanwhile, here's the creepiest of all scientific studies. Are you ready for the creepiest of all scientific studies? I almost wasn't even going to talk about it, but I think I can do it without going to jail. So there was a study. Eric Dolan is writing about this in PsyPost.

I hope that didn't happen.
But assuming that they were properly supervised and there was nothing iffy about the experiment itself, what they believe they found is that the kids who got regular massage therapy slept better and concentrated and did better in school.
Now, do you know who would have guessed that without a study? I would. Do you know why I think this worked? Because here's just a speculation. I feel like there's something about ADHD that we don't fully understand. Well, I guess that's an understatem

ent. I think everybody would agree with that. But if you're distracted, and maybe I'm just speaking for myself, it's because there's something you're looking for that you need that you don't have. Now that's my take. This is not agreeing with any scientists or anything. I have no idea what the scientists say. But my take, whenever I'm distracted, is not so much that there's just too much in my hea…
