DOJ trying to hide the ball on Trump warrant
Washington Examiner: The Justice Department revealed it is opposing the release of the underlying affidavit justifying its unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago this month, just days after it agreed to unseal the warrant approving the search of former President Donald Trump's Florida resort. “There remain compelling reasons, including to protect the integrity of an ongoing law enforcement investigation that implicates national security, that support keeping the affidavit sealed,” DOJ lawyers declared on Monday, also indicating, however, they would be open to releasing redacted portion... read more

DeSantis challenges Dem changes to voting laws in 2020
Red States: ... DeSantis’ framing of the subject is smart because it’s so obviously true. The way to critique the 2020 election has always been to point out what Democrats did at the state level to sway things, not to obsess over marginal theories surrounding voting machines and such. Voting laws also represent the battleground that can most readily be fought on with electoral power. DeSantis’ call is a reminder that Republicans must stand in the way of future attempts to subvert our elections, and no “emergency” provides enough justification to do so. Moving past that, DeSanti... read more

Dems running behind in Georgia races
Red States: It should be expected that a Democrat who could not win her own state in a year the Republicans were not expected to do well would not have a snowball’s chance in a Georgia summer of winning a gubernatorial race in 2022. But it’s much tougher for incumbents, even in years their party is in power, to lose to candidates who are perceived as weak given past performance on the campaign trail. Yet, a new poll out today shows that Stacey Abrams, who is polling eight points behind Governor Brian Kemp, can’t do any better than about 45 percent in the polls (today’s has her a... read more

During this period, miners were both native born and immigrant white, the latter being especially constituted by Eastern European workers. They were also Black, a number of whom, we can presume, had been enslaved a mere tw... read more

Biden’s inflation bill could help blunt the impact. The single greatest threat to the environment isn’t hunting or suburban sprawl or invasive species. It’s farming. Farms cover roughly 40 percent of the country, and they’ve replaced countless ecosystems with vast fields of soybeans, corn, and cattle. Agriculture also accounts for about 11 percent of US greenhouse gas emissions. The Inflation Reduction Act could help blunt so... read more

I won't watch anything on Netflix, thanks to that channel's disgusting and obscene sexualization of young children. However, I'll watch for this movie on DVD. It looks like fun. Peter read more

One year ago today, the Taliban entered Kabul as the Afghan government collapsed. The Taliban’s entrance into Afghanistan’s capital city marked the failure of the U.S.’s 20-year war and attempt to build a sustainable Afghan government.
