    BT didn’t have any comment, apparently, when the Colorado sec’y of state, with one grand waive of her hand, removed the leading candidate from the ballot.  She was advised by a lawyer who argued that he had special insight that made it clear that Trump incited an insurrection.

    All of these lunatics need to be removed from the voting rolls.  That is some special kind of stupid.

    Gov Hochul reassures other real estate investors that New York won’t come after them.  They were just targeting Trump!  You can’t make this up.

    With regard to the last comment:

    Thomas Jefferson said, “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”

     

    Taibbi, Schellenberger, Weiss and others have begun to chip away at the wall of secrecy that government erected and reinforced since WWII.  Hopefully, this work will continue and accelerate for the next few decades.

    Prof Fryer started the study w/ the full expectation that he would establish as fact the racist basis of law enforcement.  He is is a very interesting and honest intellect.  I think he may be the next Thomas Sowell.  I don’t know if he can write as well as Sowell, but he has the same stubborn resolve to present the truth.

    That is not why he has those documents.  It’s the only excuse  Hur could come up w/ to explain why he’s not bringing charges.  🤔

    I also think there is a solid future for EV’s – emphasis on future.  There are a ton of issues that need to be much more thoroughly addressed.  Product creation, introduction and development was artificially accelerated.  There is not much demand pull for the cars other than what can be bribed to exist.  The unrealistic timetable to roll out EV’s is driven by the nightmare of impending climate Armageddon.  I think the market for EV’s has been temporarily damaged by the insane push to force people to buy them.

    Truly impressive how stubbornly ignorant California legislators are!!

    We have stopped teaching our citizens what democracy is.  Heck, our founders were dissatisfied with democracy.  We have tolerated largely ignorant slanted depictions of our history.  It is one thing to acknowledge and study the horrors of our past, but we spend considerable effort issuing negative propaganda about our nation,

    All of our many problems are unaddressed and both parties #1 goal is to block their opposition.  It seems like this is a truly problematic flaw in our system of government.  It would be a feature, and not a bug, if the pols didn’t keep finding ways to spend ungodly amounts on meaningless or totally partisan projects.  Unfortunately, while they are accomplishing nothing, they are running up our debt.  This cannot continue.

    You are right, Mick.  It is very difficult to even think of a moderate Democrat.  And what the Dems might perceive as moderate (Amy Klobucher?) isn’t really close.  Consider the fact that Hillary is among the most moderate.  I think someone might come out of nowhere at the convention, if the backlash to Wokeism develops some momentum.  Maybe Jared Polis.  🤔

    What do you think of Sherrod Brown of Ohio?  I suppose he’s too moderate.  Not gonna be Newsome after that debate w/ DiSantis as well as a $68 billion deficit.  Maybe John Fetterman’s transformation will continue.  🤔

    All the preparations are being made to accomodate Biden’s withdrawal from the race.  The withdrawal would be best if it were for non-political reasons.  Could happen at the convention.  They have worked out details w/ Kamala.  She’ll be placated.

    [quote quote=7918]Puff piece. MTL wasn’t run out of town. Silly concept.[/quote]

    So you think Allysia Finley glossed over MTL’s violations?  Honestly, I have a lot of respect for her reporting.  I have literally zero confidence in the writer for the Stanford Daily.

    It truly stinks that Stanford had any connection to this effort.  The Stanford brand has been deeply damaged in recent years, whether those in charge are aware or not.

    Here’s another take on this scandal.

    This is true.  We’ve got bigger problems than how badly our football team sucks.
