CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 6 hours ago
"I can't convince myself that it does much good to try to challenge the everyday political delusions and dementias of Americans at large. Their contained and confined mentalities by far prefer the petty and parochial prisons of the kind of sense they have been trained and rewarded for making out of their lives (and are punished for deviating from them). What it costs them ultimately to be such slaves and infants and ideological zombies is a thought too monstrous and rending and spiky for them even to want to glance at.

Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 7 hours ago
Long long ago, when Jeb!

Biden’s Confused—and Reckless—Russia Antagonism Is a Problem
Bonnie Kristian, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Bonnie Kristian* *Russia, Americas* At first glance, this might seem like a balanced approach of cooperation and confrontation.
