This combination of remembering and forgetting helps constitute the group’s identity and structures its values and its commitments.

"2000 Mules" - the proof of electoral fraud that we've been waiting for

Biden's explanation for inflation grows more absurdWashington Examiner: At first, President Joe Biden tried to play off rising inflation as something merely transitory. But the inflation kept rising until it wasn't transitory anymore, so he needed a better excuse. Biden then tried to scapegoat the meat industry for raising prices arbitrarily. Remember that? Nobody believed it. But when President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, that gave Biden an off-ramp from such an implausible explanation, so he chose to blame Russia. The problem this time was that inflation had been running wild for so many months before Russia invaded Ukraine... read more

Monster trains and the risks they entailYesterday I posted an article about weird personnel policies at the major US railroads. In a comment to that post, reader David Eyk said: Another factor is the increasingly-common practice of miles-long "Precision Scheduled Railroad" monster trains, and the inevitable accompanying derailments. This letter to the Surface Transportation Board describes the problem from a train engineer's perspective. I read that letter with great interest - and great concern. I had no idea about some of the issues (particularly the dangers) involved. I'm going to reproduce some of it here, a... read more

Coming soon to a streaming service near you: Ads
[image: Bright digital billboards in Times Square.] Times Square, New York, in 2019. | Paul Rovere/Getty Images Ads were supposed to be on their way out, replaced by subscription money. Now Netflix, Disney, and everyone else is learning to live with them. Reed Hastings was consistent, year after year. Any time someone asked the Netflix CEO when he’d introduce ads to his streaming service, he insisted that it made no sense. Netflix was a better service because it didn’t have ads, he would say. That was when Netflix was growing. Now it’s shrinking — and now Netflix says it will hav... read more

Andrei Biletsky, the neo-Nazi father of AzovThe supreme heroes of the West are the mostly neo-Nazi soldiers of the Azov regiment. These heroes, who smell of sulphur and swastikas, the Western journalists do not want to hear about them, they are only heroic fighters of the free and democratic Ukraine, a fabulous country where life was good before the Russian special operation. To counter this low propaganda broadcast by all the French public or even private media, it is necessary to understand who are the men behind this Azov regiment and first of all, their founder, whose story alone speaks for itself. read more

Untitled* Humans have a hard time grasping concepts of very large things* Scientists have latched onto Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as the marker of the climate change problem. Ingeniously, they cored through deep ice in Antarctica and some of the big glaciers and measure not only the age of the ice but the CO2 content. From what they can see, CO2 is higher now than it was even during the dinosaurs’ time on the planet. That yields their conclusion that Mankind’s emissions of carbon are upsetting the balance. But the explanation doesn’t make much sense to most of us. A single volcanic eruption can... read more
