What’s the Beef Are you aware that Mayor Eric Adams, “a self-described vegan who sometimes eats fish,” now is looking to assist the city by reducing the amount of meat it serves at schools, hospitals, and in other government-funded capacities. Proclamations from NYC Mayor Adams: “It is easy to talk about emissions that are coming […]
The Federal Government Going Full Suicide Bomber Against America
Where’s the EPA’s Evidence? What now? Yes, it’s true. President Joe Biden promised/threatened to activate the administrative state to address and solve the “climate crisis.” To that end, while not an immediate violent action, Americans are going to suffer a slow meltdown as they experience and enjoy life under a reduced U.S. carbon emission strategy. […]
Want to Taste Last Night’s Spaghetti, Again
In a sweeping efficiency proposal mandate on dishwashers, an Energy Department press release on dishwasher standards makes it clear the intent is to reduce “carbon pollution” and combat the “climate crisis.” “Did you enjoy last night’s spaghetti, still crusted on the plate? Now you can taste it twice,” warns the WSJ. Forget that the trivial […]
A “Do Nothing” Migration Policy
No Reversing Trump at Any Cost In naming Kamala Harris “border czar,” Joe Biden showed his hand: nothing serious was intended.” We are on the cusp of a super-surge, as Title 42’s deportation authority ends, reports Daniel Henninger in the WSJ. Tens of thousands more migrants, from as far away as China, are prepared to […]
The Culture War IS the Big Tent
Common Sense Won’t Take the Culture Back There is a tendency of politicians to explain the problems we face today and then to offer practical solutions. The economy is bad, here’s how we fix it. The cities are filled with dangerous lunatics, here’s how we make our streets safe again. The border is overrun with […]
Don’t Do anything, and Pay the Price
Peak Wokeness in Decline Writing in American Greatness, Victor Davis Hanson compares the radical socialist takeover of the old Democratic Party to the French Revolution. Part of the takeover, he writes, happened after “the perfect storm of the 2020: the rioting and COVID destructive lockdowns.” New polls showed scant public support for open borders, for […]
Drinking the Kool-Aid
All Embracing, Embarrassing Groupthink In his latest post, Francis Manton compares the self-immolation of about 900 souls, who “somehow agreed to mass suicide” in the jungles of Jonestown, to the craziness of what is going on in the US auto industry. Collective Suicide and the Climate Cult Are you thinking that the Jonestown massacre was […]
President Joe Biden Sending US Troops to the US Border
A detachment of U.S. soldiers is being sent to help at the border, to the extent this is permitted by law. The soldiers will not solve the crisis at the border. What crisis? There is no crisis at the border, insists Joe Biden and his administration, reports the editors at NRO. (Joe) Biden is now making […]
Why Cash Is Freedom
Prevent Total Monitoring/Control over Money and Energy Recently Dick and I went to lunch on Bowen’s Wharf. Like many cities, large and small, parking is often costly or non-existent. I decided to bite the bullet and electronically pay for a parking space. When asked if I’d want a receipt, I said no because the machine […]
An Unconstitutional Gotcha
It would be easy to dismiss the accusations hurled at Clarence Thomas as “too thin to matter.” But don’t do that, advises the editors of the WSJ. That, they say, would be a mistake. This is a political project, and hyped accusations will continue to be asserted as if they are serious. “Ethics” is a time-honored […]
