Oil & Gas association rebuts Biden's energy BS
Brandon Morse: ... The associations point out Biden’s hostility toward their companies and associations going back to 2019 when he campaigned on their companies being no longer welcomed in America by his administration and kept that promise with the cancelation of the Keystone XL pipeline on day one and an executive order enacting a moratorium on new leasing on public lands and waters.

"A Look to the Heavens"
"Colorful NGC 1579 resembles the better known Trifid Nebula, but lies much farther north in planet Earth's sky, in the heroic constellation Perseus. About 2,100 light-years away and 3 light-years across, NGC 1579 is, like the Trifid, a study in contrasting blue and red colors, with dark dust lanes prominent in the nebula's central regions. In both, dust reflects starlight to produce beautiful blue reflection nebulae. But unlike the Trifid, in NGC 1579 the reddish glow is not emission from clouds of glowing hydrogen gas excited by ultraviolet light from a nearby hot star. Instead, the... read more

The empire is in decline; every day, life here gets a little bit worse; all our institutions are corrupt to varying degrees; and there is no turning this situation around. 2.

Court rules Biden deportation policy illegal
Washington Times: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas broke the law when he wrote rules limiting which illegal immigrants can be detained or deported, a federal judge ruled Tuesday, slapping an injunction on ICE that will limit its ability to pick and choose whom to target.

From its first days in office, the administration has tried to narrow the pool of illegal immigrants in danger of deportation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The false Cuban Missile Crisis analogy ...
*"A false analogy keeps being made between the Cuban Missile Crisis and Russia’s supposed fear of having offensive missiles in NATO countries bordering Russia. Supposedly, Russia has just as much right to object to NATO missiles in its neighbouring countries as the USA had to object to them in Cuba. "One of the main problems with this analogy is that the Cuban Missile Crisis happened before there was such a thing as [accurate] inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

Von Drehle profiles "Putin's brain!"
*WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2022* *In search of Putin's dream:* Based on current tabulations, it's currently the fourth MOST READ piece in the whole of the Washington Post. We recommend it strongly. It's David Von Drehle's profile of Aleksandr Dugin, the man who is apparently known as "Putin's brain." First, we state a disclaimer. We've never heard of Aleksandr Dugin. We didn't know he was Putin's brain. On that basis, we can't tell you that Von Drehle's profile is perfectly accurate, or even basically right. That said, Von Drehle works from the saner, brighter end of the mainstream pr... read more

If you're still not listening, you're about to run out of time
For years, people like me have been warning that hard times are coming. For the past year or more, some of us have been hammering on the point that hard times are already here, and they're going to get worse - a lot worse - before they get better. Michael Yon has gone so far as to coin an acronym, PANFAWAR (Pandemic, Famine, War) to describe what he sees coming down the pike at us. Some readers have listened, and some have built up their reserves to an almost incredible extent. Good for them. Many of us (including yours truly) aren't able to do that much, thanks to financia... read more

The Last Walk by Roland Lane
Last Walk For me it was a poignant video moment from the hundreds we have witnessed from Ukraine in the last two weeks. Perhaps you saw it too. A father and son walked hand in hand toward a town or city. The son was about four or five years old and was wearing a yellow parka or slicker of some sort. The father was in his late twenties or early thirties. He looked over the head of his son as three or four adults passed by going the opposite direction. Those individuals were carrying backpacks or some type of luggage. Our small family of father and son carried nothing. The video foota... read more

The Coming Medicaid Purge
Since the start of the pandemic, Medicaid, the federal and state program to provide health insurance to low income Americans, has been far more generous than in the past. Enrollment is higher than ever, at 77.8 million. This isn’t because of some nationwide change of heart in state governments; it’s because states were paid to stop cutting people from their Medicaid rolls. Under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, the first coronavirus relief bill passed in March 2020, states received a 6.2 percent boost in federal Medicaid funding in exchange for halting disenrollments. ... read more
Despite Oceans ‘In Crisis,’ Global Treaty Talks Falter
In the wake of collapsed U.N.-backed talks, ocean defenders this week are urging global governments to reach a robust treaty by year's end to safeguard the world's high seas from exploitation and the climate crisis. "Government promises to protect at least a third of the world's oceans by 2030 are already coming off the rails," Will McCallum of Greenpeace's Protect the Oceans campaign said in a statement Monday. A failure to reach a Global Ocean Treaty in 2022 would mean "no way to create ocean sanctuaries in international waters to allow them to achieve that 30×30 goal," he said.... read more
