How Kroger Is Using DC Spin Doctors To Fight Their Unionized Workers
In recent weeks, Kroger has faced a rash of negative news reports about its employees’ working and living conditions, drawn new scrutiny from lawmakers, and seen thousands of workers go on strike in Colorado — all as the company lobbies on union rights legislation, and bankrolls corporate trade associations trying to kill it. Now amid the potential for congressional hearings and a federal crackdown, the grocery giant did what so many other corporate behemoths do when they’re feeling the heat: pay big bucks to run counter programming claiming it offers “great pay and great benefits... read more

Japan research supports use of Ivermectin
PJ Media: Anti-parasite drug Ivermectin shows an “antiviral effect” against omicron and other COVID variants according to research released Monday by Japanese pharmaceutical giant Kowa. According to Reuters, the firm has been working with Tokyo’s Kitasato University. While Reuters described the study as “non-clinical,” last June the *American Journal of Therapeutics* published a meta-analysis of 15 different clinical studies. That *AJT* analysis concluded: Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin... read more

Democracy and the Democrats
Washington Examiner: Democratic lawyer Marc Elias violated the old maxim about never taking on those who buy ink by the barrel and ended up in a losing battle with the *New York Times* over the weekend. Elias, who helped fund the discredited Trump dossier and has battled against Republican-backed election reforms, was incensed over an article about “dark money” being funneled to left-wing activists, including him. He told his 617,000 Twitter followers that the Supreme Court should “revisit” a landmark press freedoms ruling. “If the media is not going to be pro-democracy, then it... read more

Even those on the political left, like Bari Weiss, formerly of The New York Times, and comedian Bill Maher are beginning to publicly question mandates and other anti-COVID measures.

More evidence of Seattle's unintelligent response to BLM
National Review: Former Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan’s administration drafted legislation in June 2020 that would have transferred the police department’s East Precinct building to a Black Lives Matter organization, the Seattle Times reported on Sunday. The legislation was drafted by the Department of Finance and Administrative Services around the same time that protesters calling to defund the police converged on the East Precinct in the wake of riots over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Biden not removing his own actions against US drilling?
*Epoch Time:* *Biden to Meet Leader of Qatar; Talks to Cover Boosting Gas Supplies to Europe Amid Russia–Ukraine Tensions* It is another example of Biden's strategic blunder by taking action against US and Canadian oil and gas production which made Europe more vulnerable to Russian energy supplies. It also wound up increasing the cost of oil and gas which helped to fund the new Russian aggression. It was one of Biden's early half-assed decisions that hurt the US and its allies. read more

Chet Raymo, “Caught In The Middle”
*“Caught In The Middle”* by Chet Raymo "It doesn't take a genius to recognize that human males have a propensity for intergroup violence, and that the killing is often accompanied by rape. One need only read the newspapers. The only question is to what extent these tendencies are innate or culturally inculcated. Nature or nurture? Or both?

The violence is in our (male) genes, they m... read more
"The Tragedy Lies..."
It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is a sin. - Benjamin E. Mayes read more
