Trump makes the case for defending the Texas border instead of Ukraine's
Washington Examiner: ... "Normally a nation has to lose a war to lose its border, and yet our borders have been surrendered," he (Trump) said, drawing a stark contrast between the current surge and the "great secure border" the nation enjoyed during his term. ... "Everyone in Washington is obsessing over how to protect Ukraine's border, but the most important border in the world right now for us is not Ukraine's. It's America's border," he said. "The first duty of the American president is to defend the American border." But Trump did analogize the need for borders in the U.S.... read more
The Last Sentence in Conrad’s “The Secret Sharer”
The last sentence in Joseph Conrad’s short story, “The Secret Sharer”: “Walking to the taffrail, I was in time to make out, on the very edge of a darkness thrown by a towering black mass like the very gateway of Erebus—yes, I was in time to catch an evanescent glimpse of my white hat left behind to mark the spot where the secret sharer of my cabin and of my thoughts, as though he were my second self, had lowered himself into the water to take his punishment: a free man, a proud swimmer striking out for a new destiny.” This 90-word sentence captures the new destiny of both the story... read more

Pandering to Big Green led to bridge disaster?
*Monica Showalter:* *Pittsburgh bridge's 2016 infrastructure funding reportedly diverted to bike lanes and green energy programs* ... Instead of repairing the bridge with what likely would have been the Obama-era shovel-ready 2009 infrastructure funds for "roads and bridges," known as the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act," the cash went to bike lanes and green boondoggles, and too bad about the actual structure that was decaying and deteriorating. Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg loves those bike lanes. Bridges that stay up? That is for someone else to take care o... read more

The myth of 'voter suppression'
DailyWire: Harmeet K. Dhillon, founder of the Dhillon Law Group Inc., blasted Democrats’ claims of race-based voter suppression while pointing out the real threat to U.S. election integrity: the federalization of election law. Dhillon and her law firm are representing The Daily Wire in its legal challenge against the Biden administration’s order mandating that large employers either vaccinate or mask and COVID-19 test all their employees. The Supreme Court stayed the order on January 13 in a major blow to the government. Roughly two weeks later, the Occupational Safety and Health... read more
The United States’ KC-46 Tanker Program Is a Mess
*Caleb Larson* *KC-46 Tanker, * The airplane’s only purpose is aerial refueling, but it can only pump fuel in certain conditions. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) submitted a review of one of the U.S. Air Force’s most significant programs, the troubled KC-46 aerial refueling tanker. Their conclusion? Not good. The report explains that “critical defects with the aircraft's remote vision system and other technologies” will delay the program’s full potential and increase costs. *Issues Abound* As an aerial refueling aircraft, the KC-46 extends the amount of time fighter... read more

Meanwhile, proposed legislation backed by Youngkin’s administration states that "inherently divisive concepts" include teaching that one race is "inherently racist, sexist or oppressive, whether consciously or subconsciously," and that "meritocracy or traits, such as a hard work ethic, are racist or sexist or were created by a part... read more

House GOP wants info on racist application of monoclonal antibodies
Washington Examiner: A group of House Republicans is calling for the Department of Justice to investigate what they argue are racist clinical guidelines for the use of monoclonal antibody treatments to prioritize nonwhite people. They said the Food and Drug Administration’s *authorization* for the monoclonal antibody treatments allows healthcare providers to consider the patient’s race when deciding whether to administer sotrovimab, the most effective monoclonal antibody treatment against the omicron variant. “Absent evidence showing that race, independent of other factors, direc... read more

Democrats have no leverage over Manchin
Red States: ... If you listen to Democrats, they want people to think that Americans are on their side on the issue, and they think — somehow — they can do Manchin in with his constituents. But the bottom line is the truth of how Joe Manchin was greeted back in West Virginia. What it says is where most of America is at — and that’s not with the progressives to do away with the rules and impose huge, obnoxious spending packages. Now, it’s hard to hear exactly what Manchin is saying, but the point is how he’s cheered at the end. As our friends at Hot Air note, 72 percent of Wes... read more

Sunday morning music
How many of you remember the 1970's and 1980's group Supertramp? They grew from progressive rock roots into a pop/rock combo that was very popular for a time, but then seemed to drop out of sight in the late 1980's and beyond. I always found their music frustrating: neither rock nor pop, catchy, but somehow not satisfying, like the froth on top of a cup of coffee - no substance. Nevertheless, they were hugely successful in their time, and influenced a great many other musicians and groups from then onward. Here are five of their big hits. First, from their 1974 album "Crim... read more
