Billionaires Are Not Morally Qualified To Shape Human Civilization
Listen to a reading of this article: ❖ Human civilization is being engineered in myriad ways by an unfathomably wealthy class who are so emotionally and psychologically stunted that they refuse to end world hunger despite having the ability to easily do so. The United […] read more

Biden's goofy plan to pay illegal immigrants $450,000
* Fox News:* *Republicans demand answers from Biden Cabinet on reported payments to illegal immigrants: 'Horrific decision*' *Republicans demand answers from Mayorkas, Garland and Becerra* The Biden administration's handling of illegal immigration is already a polling disaster for the administration and this will only add to the intensity of the dislike of their handling of illegal immigration. It is absurd to reward people coming here illegally with a large payout when citizens are already struggling with the results of Biden's inept economic decisions. See, also: *Reported... read more

The 'people of color' privilege
Power Line: A central tenet of Critical Race Theory is that America’s institutions are “systemically” rigged to favor white people. POCs just can’t catch up, no matter what they do. Of course, if that were true it would be hard to explain why whites rank only 17th in median income, trailing such allegedly oppressed groups as Lebanese, Iranian, Pakistani, Syrian, Ghanian and Nigerian Americans, as well, of course, as Indian-Americans, whose median income is close to double that of whites. But devotees of Critical Race Theory have never worried much about facts. Then, too, we have... read more

They refused the offer.* This refusal should make them ineligible to be considered as refugees in the US. This would be the case if there was any hint of sanity in the Biden immigration policy.

Chicom naval ambitions outstrip those of US
Washington Times: China and Russia have dramatically accelerated their naval shipbuilding and modernization programs in recent years, while the U.S. has struggled to improve its own capacity for warfighting missions and been tagged with a poor readiness rating from national security analysts. The Chinese have made particularly notable strides, engaging in a maritime buildup that made global headlines a year ago when Pentagon officials sounded the alarm that Beijing’s total fleet roughly 350 warships had surpassed the roughly 300 maintained by Washington. The U.S. force still vas... read more

Biden's electric car fallacy
Western Journal: As gas prices soar across the country, President Joe Biden attempted to explain the benefits of electric cars. Predictably, his explanation was more confusing than it was helpful. Biden was giving a speech Thursday describing his two massive spending sprees, also known as the Build Back Better plan and infrastructure bill. According to a White House transcript, Biden was describing the need to replace buses and cars with electric alternatives like rail and electric cars. “When you buy an electric vehicle, you can go across America on a single tank of gas, figur... read more

The comeback of coal for power plants
Philadelphia Inquirer: Coal, a pariah fuel for climate activists, has made a quiet comeback this year in the post-lockdown economic resurgence. Coal stockpiles at power plants are getting so low that the regional electric grid operator, PJM Interconnection, has taken steps to prevent a system collapse this winter similar to Texas earlier this year. PJM, based near Valley Forge, this month imposed new rules on power plants in 13 states and the District of Columbia to make sure electricity generators do not run short of fuel during a cold snap. The rules could force some coal gene... read more

Sunday morning music
Steve Morse has been the lead guitarist with British rock group Deep Purple since 1994, taking the place of the legendary Ritchie Blackmore. He's equally accomplished as a guitarist, and in some ways I think has surpassed his famous predecessor. Wikipedia says of him: Morse is considered one of the hardest working guitarists in the world. He is widely known for his stylistically diverse compositional skills and was voted "Best Overall Guitarist" by Guitar Player magazine for five years in a row, qualifying him for its "Guitar Player Hall of Fame", the only other members bein... read more

Biden team withheld vital information about Afghan situation
Epoch Times: ... The Pentagon maintains that the Afghan government wanted to classify the data and that it recommended against it but “abided by the decision of the original classification authority.” Overall, the department says it has cooperated with SIGAR since the office was created by Congress. The State Department, meanwhile, wrote to Sopko shortly after U.S.-backed Afghan forces were routed by the Taliban terrorist group as the U.S. moved to fully withdraw from the country. “Shortly after the fall of Kabul, the State Department wrote to me and other oversight agencies re... read more

ISIS threat in Northern Virginia?
Red States: ISIS was trending this morning on Twitter, and that’s never a good thing. The reason was because there’s a very real terror threat warning for the weekend in Northern Virginia. Law enforcement is warning about a possible attack from an active terror cell on malls or shopping centers just outside of D.C. From CBS: “We have increased our police presence throughout the county to include major thoroughfares, transit hubs, shopping plazas and shopping malls,” Fairfax County police chief Kevin Davis said Friday. Police said the increased law enforcement presence will be i... read more

Who Will Lead after Keir Starmer?
Keir Starmer was inconvenienced by Coronavirus at the worst possible time. 20 minutes before Prime Minister's Questions, and 50 before Rishi Sunak re-announced his menu of spending commitments, his lieutenants had to scramble to fill the void. As someone who shamefacedly feels the pangs of nostalgia for simpler times, Ed Miliband stood in for the leader and gave a good account. Calling it a masterclass would be a stretch, but he had a more galvanising effect on the benches behind him than his Covid-afflicted boss. And then Rachel Reeves stepped in and also acquitted herself well. N... read more
