Blogger offers important post!
*SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 2022* *Drum, aligning with Lincoln:* This is a very important post by Kevin Drum. The headline atop it says this: *Fox News viewers don’t deserve contempt. Save it for the folks fleecing them.* Inevitably, Drum's early commenters don't agree with that view. As we've noted on several occasions, our species is built to loathe Others. At any rate, Lincoln said it first, at the end of his first Inaugural Address: I am loath to close. *We are not enemies, but friends.

Chait and Litt both acknowledge that Democrats are likely to lose their Senate majority in the midterms, and might not regain it for quite a while, but they both believe a return to a Democratic Senate will come sooner or later, and now that 48 out of 50 Democrats have expressed a willingness to take on the filibuster, surely it's on its last legs.

Let Stalin and Churchill divide the meat.” When Stalin did not come up with his proposal for dividing the bear, Churchill and Roosevelt asked: “What is your proposal?” Stalin replied: “The bear is mine—after all, I am the one who killed it.” The bear was Hitler and the bearskin was Eastern Europe.

But over the decades I've got more tolerant of people's flaws and mistakes. Everybody makes a lot of them.

"Is America Heading For A Systems Collapse?"
*"Is America Heading For A Systems Collapse?"* by Victor Davis Hanson "In modern times, as in ancient Rome, several nations have suffered a “systems collapse.” The term describes the sudden inability of once-prosperous populations to continue with what had ensured the good life as they knew it. Abruptly, the population cannot buy, or even find, once plentiful necessities. They feel their streets are unsafe. Laws go unenforced or are enforced inequitably. Every day things stop working. The government turns from reliable to capricious if not hostile. Consider contemporary Venezuela. ... read more

Kyle Smith: If a few billion dollars get carted off by bandits, or chewed into confetti by squirrels, or blown into the nearest river, after a brief chastened look, the Democrats always come back with: “Hey, we think we have a new solution: Spend more money again!” Their latest idea is to upchuck $1.9 trillion (not $2 trillion — they’re not crazy or anything) on yet another COVID relief package. They’ve already appropriated some $6 trillion in fighting COVID, though. That’s more than we spent fighting WWII, which cost about $4.1 trillion in inflation-adjusted dollars. Unlike in... read more
