These “Christians” are never going to stop chipping away at women’s rights.

Brilliant politician Ron DeSantis shows how thoroughly he understand the MAGA-Republican Party.

With Donald Trump faltering, Governor DeSantis is the putative front-runner for the next GOP Presidential nomination. Adding anti-vaxxers to the current “deplorables” coalition is undoubtedly a shrewd step for someone looking to win MAGA-Republican primaries.

Was there ever better evidence of a moribund party in collapse than this nonsense and abuse of prosecutorial power?

The 5th Estate as a check on the 4th Estate 

Twitter 2.0 can prove to be very valuable if it remains neutral. You can tell how useful by how desperately the MSM tries to ignore it and how intensely the former dictators of the public square seek to disparage it.

This story would be funny if it weren’t sad.

Virginia’s offshore wind facilities stand to cut the profits of commercial fishermen. No problem, we’ll just give the fishermen some money to restore their income!

Someone should notice that fish eaters will then be paying for fish they don’t get to eat.

More profoundly, we seem to have entered a dysfunctional era in which the socio-political response to profit loss is to create non-profit organizations to redistribute captured monies, replacing third-party profits with donations.

This is worse than paying fishermen not to fish. This is paying fishermen to stay in business when there are no fish to catch.

This piece was printed in the WAPO Weekly insert to the Pilot this morning.

I see it as a hopeful and helpful way to teach MORE of the history of this country.

Can’t wait to hear the cries of CRT out of the right.

WSJ freelink Blacklisting od Dr Bhattacharya et al 

Twitter, on instructions from the Biden administration, suppressed contrary medical opinion by qualified experts during the COVID pandemic. 

The CDC and FDA were wrong, the contrarians were right. But you never heard what they had to say. 

This is why suppression of dissent in the sciences must be severely punished. The consequences of banning dissent are just too great. People cannot give informed consent to medical choices if they don’t hear other opinion.
