Danielle Gersh's Scorching Weather Forecast

It won't be too bad along the coasts and in the L.A. and Orange County metro areas. But when you get inland, especially to the deserts, you're looking are very hot temperatures, and into the triple digits early in the week.

Just dish up a scoop of ice cream for your old man, and have a Happy Father's Day!

Here's the lovely Ms. Danielle, for CBS News 2 Los Angeles:


Hadas Malka Murdered by 'Palestinian' Jihadist in Terrorist Stabbing Attack in Jerusalem

An evil and horrifying story, made all the more horrific by the BBC's initial coverage of the murder.

See Twitchy, "BBC deletes tweet about three Palestinians killed after deadly stabbing; Now guess who did the stabbing."


Katie Hopkins tweeted her response today.


Also at the Jerusalem Post, "ADAS MALKA, KILLED BY TERRORIST AT DAMASCUS GATE, REMEMBERED AS LOVING, BRAVE WARRIOR."

Stunning Helen Flanagan in Salmon-Pink Bikini on Holiday in Spain

At London's Daily Mail, "Flanagan shows off her enviably lean figure in a pink bikini as she enjoys a fun-filled family holiday with cute daughter Matilda."

BONUS: At the Sun U.K., "OWN GOAL! Coronation Street’s Helen Flanagan accidentally flashes her bra as her top rides down in front of thousands of Celtic fans - The cobbles beauty laughed off the wardrobe malfunction as she took part in a lap of honor."

Violetta Komyshan at Premiere of 'Baby Driver' in Los Angeles

At London's Daily Mail, "Sheer daring! Ansel Elgort's girlfriend Violetta Komyshan wears revealing dress to Baby Driver premiere in LA ... before cutting some shapes with her beau on the dance-floor."

Also, at Taxi Driver, "Violetta Komyshan in Completely See-Through Dress."

It will be dangerously hot Saturday as we're expected to see a high of 110.

Actually, according to the report, it could 120 on Tuesday. But more at USA Today:

Reader Poll: Should Conservatives Disrupt Leftists?

The poll's at Legal Insurrection, "To disrupt like the Left, or not to disrupt: that is the question (Reader Poll)."

I've already weighed in, here, "Let's Not Parrot the Left, Laura Loomer and Jack Posobiec."

I've added this comment at Legal Insurrection, in reply to Ms. EBL (who links this Instapundit post, which links AoSHQ):
Actually, Ace isn’t arguing we should use violence. He’s talking about boycotts and blacklisting. Yeah, let’s do that. He doesn’t say to violently shut down left-wing public performances like a bunch of special snowflakes. So-called conservatives have lost their minds. The vote here is running almost 75 percent in favor of shutting down speech — SPEECH — you don’t like. You want to parrot the left, conservatives? Are you going to start hitting antifa leftists over the head with bike-locks, like anarchist Eric Clanton up in Berkeley? No. Are you going to start throwing bricks through the windows of businesses, like the riots on Telegraph Avenue, simply because people like Milo are scheduled to speak? No. Or at least, I’m not. That way lies much more polarization and violence, which purportedly conservatives don’t want. So what’s it going to be?
We won't have debates in this country if conservatives want to fight violent leftists with more violence. That's not what Ace was arguing.

Scott Pelley Signs Off at 'CBS Evening News' (VIDEO)

I like Pelley.

I quit watching ABC News years ago, when Democrat George Stephanopoulos became one of the most important personalities at the network. And same thing for NBC, after the Brian Williams fiasco. Yeah, I know, Pelley's a leftist as well. But I've been watching CBS Evening News exclusively for this last few years, and it's fairly balanced --- or, as balanced as you're likely to get from the elite networks in any case.

Here's the lowdown, at the New York Post. It's cutthroat in that business, "Scott Pelley out of ‘CBS Evening News’":

Scott Pelley is out at “CBS Evening News,” Page Six has exclusively learned.

Sources tell us that “Poison Pelley’s” office was being cleared out Tuesday while the anchor was away on an assignment for the network’s news magazine “60 Minutes.”

We’re told he’s being shifted permanently to “60 Minutes.”

Insiders tell us that CBS News president David Rhodes “is making [Pelley] move to ‘60 Minutes,’ ” and that the pair “don’t get on.”

Another TV insider said that while Pelley’s ratings have been down, “There’s also been friction between him and [Rhodes].”

Added a source, “[Pelley] was pushed out of the ‘Evening News.’ It’s been coming for a long time. This could have been handled better — [Pelley] is away on a story, and they’re cleaning out his office. It’s not the correct way to treat the face of CBS News.”
And by the way, I stopped watching any television news for about six weeks this semester, especially as the Russia conspiracy became too much to handle.

I expect that's going to be more of the norm going forward. I prefer to filter what news I get through blogs and Twitter. It's that, or frankly no news at all, and that's hard for me, as a political science professor.

Amazon Buys Whole Foods for $13.7 Billion (VIDEO)

At Bloomberg, "Amazon to Acquire Whole Foods for $13.7 Billion."

There's talk now of breaking up Amazon under federal antitrust legislation.

I just want to keep blogging my Amazon Associates book business, lol.

At CBS Evening News, from last night:



New Erin Andrews Bikini Pics

At Bro Bible, "Erin Andrews in a Bikini is Something We Haven’t Seen, Well, Pretty Much Ever, Until Today."

And at RealClearHealth, "Erin Andrews Does Rare Bikini Photoshoot for Health Magazine: Fox NFL sideline reporter has battled health scares and sexism, but hasn't broken stride."


Minnesota Officer Acquitted in Killing of Philando Castile

Man, did Valerie Castile let loose about the verdict. Righteous indignation!

"My son loved this state. He had one tattoo on his body, and it was of the Twin Cities," Valerie Castile said. "My son loved this city, and this city killed my son."

Valerie Castile also addressed the crowd directly after leaving the courthouse, expressing her disappointment.

"The system continues to fail black people, and it will continue to fail you all. Like I said, because this happened with Philando, when they get done with us, they coming for you, for you, for you and all your interracial children," Valerie Castile said. "Y'all are next, and you will be standing up here fighting for justice just as well as I am."

Let's Not Parrot the Left, Laura Loomer and Jack Posobiec

Look, all these so-called conservative Trump supporters are applauding Laura Loomer and Jack Posobiec, after the two tried to shut down the Caesar production of Shakespeare in the Park last night.

While I definitely think the right should practice more of the left's Alinsky politics, I don't agree in this case. It's about speech. You can't complain about leftists shutting down conservatives speakers if your response is just to ape them with the exact same bullying and violence. I'm not tweeting a whole lot about this, since I'd prefer not to lose a bunch of followers. But frankly, folks on the right are being stupid and über-tribal. I rarely agree with Ben Shapiro, but I agree with him here:


Police Say 58 People Are Missing, Presumed Dead in #GrenfellTower Fire (VIDEO)

At the Guardian U.K, "Grenfell Tower fire: 58 'missing, presumed dead' says Met amid protests at May's leadership - latest."

And at Sky News.
