US should turn the trial lawyers loose on the 'unemployment benefits' scamWashington Times: The federal government blew at least $163 billion on bogus pandemic unemployment benefit payments and has recaptured less than $1 billion of it, the program’s inspector general told Congress on Thursday. Labor Department Inspector General Larry D. Turner said the states that doled out the federal money weren’t prepared for the massive infusion of cash in their unemployment systems and relied on outdated networks that fraudsters easily exploited. The result was that of $872.5 billion in federal unemployment money, at least 18.71% — or about $163 billion — was mi... read more

The 'comprehensive failure' of Biden foreign policiesFrancis P. Sempa: Writing in the Wall Street Journal, the Hudson Institute's Walter Russell Mead pronounces the Biden administration's great power diplomacy an unmitigated failure. Mead's criticism cannot be dismissed as a partisan attack — he is a member in good standing of the U.S. foreign policy establishment. Mead is also steeped in history and geopolitics — two subjects that appear to have eluded the stalwarts of President Biden's foreign policy team. "Most ... of the ideas Team Biden brought to the White House," Mead writes, "failed to work," and most of the changes that... read more

The joys of installing a new HVAC systemA short while ago, I noted: We recently got paid a useful sum of money that's been owed to us for some time. If we put it in the bank, the inflation rate would reduce its buying power by double digit percentages every year; so we're going to put it to work instead, by investing in major domestic improvements while we can afford them. We're investing part of that money in replacing our old HVAC system. It was installed when the house was built, 30-odd years ago, and was on its last legs. (The last time something broke, two years ago, the local HVAC service company couldn't... read more
