Gov. Abbott exposes the virtue signaling leftCharles Lipson: The surest sign that public policies are simply virtue signals is when the messages don't cost anything. The easiest way to tell when that signal starts to fail is to watch politicians flounder as the costs start to rise and voters demand relief. It was free—and meaningless—for progressive churches to post banners calling themselves "nuclear free zones" during the Reagan era. Their dwindling congregations loved it. It was free, after George Floyd's murder, to post woke catechism signs on your front lawn, proclaiming "In this house, we believe: Black Lives Matter,... read more

JUST SAYIN—The DOJ/FBI Crooks Are the Real Mar-A-Lago ScandalTwo pieces about the DOJ/FBI petty panty raid on Mar-a-Lago caught my eye today. One is by Paul Sperry over at Real Clear Investigations. Sperry details how key FBI and DOJ personnel leading the Trump National Records Act investigation are the very same crew involved in Russiagate, Robert Mueller’s failed jihad against Donald Trump, and an FBI coverup of Hunter Biden’s perfidies on behalf of the “Big Man,” to wit, his father. These activities accumulated a record of overt violations of law and the Constitution which could make J. Edgar Hoover blush. read more

The left continues to attack TrumpNew Neo: One thing the Mar-A-Lago raid has driven home is that the left believes—and they think much of the general public will agree—that what ordinarily would be allowed to most presidents and ex-presidents is not to be allowed to Trump. That is because they think and *have always thought* he was an illegitimate president with no right to hold that office. It doesn’t matter which reasoning they try to use to explain and justify that point of view: he’s too uncouth, he’s stupid, he’s a clown, he’s beneath us, he’s a Russian puppet, he’s a racist, he wears a MAGA hat, he didn’t ... read more

Russia's Ukraine debacleForeign Affairs: When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the Kremlin inadvertently put its military forces in an unsustainable position, ordering them to take on more operations than they could bear. It had nearly all its soldiers surge simultaneously and rapidly into Ukraine to fight along multiple fronts. It did so without taking necessary protective measures, such as clearing routes of explosives. It had its forces advance at an unsustainable pace. As a result, Russian troops were vulnerable to ambushes, counterattacks, and severe logistical problems that cost the military en... read more

The theory was that, if an HR manager or other management opposes discrimination as part of their regular job duties, they aren't covered by anti-retaliation laws.
