Here is an interesting editorial. I think I “gifted” it so all can read
here is another interesting article. To me, highlights that Russia has already been “strategically” defeated and exposed, even though the situation on the ground in Ukraine remains close to a tactical stalemate
I found this on RCP this morning–really twisted moral justifications for committing crimes. and last week I was in the UK where now shoplifting under 200 quid i sno longer a crime. Retailers are having to lock everything down. I guess the moral relativism many warned us of a decade ago is upon us.
I strongly agree that RUssia has “lost”. QUestion now is how to unwind politically and economically–very hard for them to do
after church today I talked to a lady who just got done doing jury duty. SHe talked about how professional the process was, how good the judge was in giving instructions, and how careful jury selection was. So while imperfect, I guess I’ll come down on the side of “liking” the jury system in general.
I really have never weighed the question of “jury of peers” versus professional judges. But as long as we do have the jury system, I am definitely glad to see rulings where an individual judge cannot overturn a decision!
I am closer to GR on this. Electoral college is a protection against the impulse of the moment, and “mob rule” impulses. There is a part of me that actually would like to see it strengthened. Yes, not “pure democracy” in any sense I admit.
Unclear to me on if this truly represents a potentially resurgent interest in a Republican governor, or if it is just that there are so many Democrats that they are dividing the poll response?
I think way premature to declare the Democatic race two persons only, both because of the calendar and because–as you astutely point out–both are probably unelectable ultimately. But maybe because I dislike both so much I am totally blinded, LOL
TRuly tragic.
my nephew is at WEst Point, and they have to pass a water survival test with hands and feet bound. One of my nephew’s friends is a muscular football player, but in my newphew’s words “sinks like a rock” and failed twice. So, he ended up taking some time off from football to focus on his swimming skills!
OMG . . . Puerto Rico needs someone for that power job with a track record of clear & logical decisions. Oh well!
a couple of comments. First, I was just in New Zealand for both work and pleasure. Last season they left grapes on the vines because global wine consumption is down, and I heard various industry concerns repeatedly. So the wine issue is not unique to California.
That said, my company is closing a plant in the LA area and consolidating into 2 campuses in the midwest and east. LA area was simple the least attractive of the 3, with a huge tip of the hat to regulations.
