Ukraine started the war with about 1,800 Soviet-era artillery pieces.

What Happened To Civility?
Canadians used to be famous for their civility. The roots of that civility are a little hard to trace. Robin Sears writes: Perhaps it grew out of the need to pretend to show respect to Canada’s Indigenous peoples, so as to beguile them into suicidal concessions. Another thread in our effort to maintain a harmonious social tapestry must have been the often painful relationship between francophone and anglophone Canadians, and the need to manage mutual concessions on an ongoing basis. It is evident in our remarkable, if unfathomable, success at growing from an all-white, somewhat ra... read more

The financial malpractice of ESG
Washington Examiner: Environmental, Social, and Governance, known widely as ESG, is a concept in finance that essentially uses "wokeness" as a measure of a company's value or worthiness of investment. Thus, it is a form of financial malpractice. It is fundamentally dishonest to misrepresent a company's financial soundness by subordinating financial considerations to political judgments and end-of-the-world superstitions. But since corporate leaders may not be convinced based on what's honest, here it is in the language they might understand: It could get you sued, and it could b... read more

If Democrats lose the House this fall, as they’re widely expected to, their ability to do ambitious bills will be all but moot.
