This story may be of some interest because it critiques a WSJ item that was the subject of a post here in the Forum.

FBI Counterterrorism Official: No Firearms Recovered During Jan. 6 Capitol Breach
This is a “point of order” post because, if memory serves, at least one commenter in the Forum has claimed that firearms were found among the weapons confiscated from those Capitol rioters who were arrested. More generally, however, the idea that the riot was an “insurrection” is turning out to be a farce, a product of overheated imaginations.

Propaganda is so pervasive now that it is newsworthy to observe the beginnings of a new disinformation campaign.

Generally speaking I’m in favor of exposing people to the risks the natural world inevitably presents to them, or at least not protecting them too much from experiencing those risks personally. That way, risk mitigation remains decentralized so that effective mitigation strategies emerge organically, producing anti-fragile outcomes.

DJT’s CPAC speech just ended. It was masterful in all the Trumpian ways. He was not one bit shy about lambasting Biden, and he put himself forward to serve as the GOP’s king-maker.
Now we will discover whether he can build coalitions that win elections, and if the GOP wants the help.
My take is that he has a real chance. Trump embraced bare-knuckles politics in the American tradition. My guess is many people will like that.
At CPAC DJT came out as a viable threat to Democratic Party politics.
No, the Tuskegee Study Is Not the Top Reason Some Black Americans Question the COVID-19 Vaccine
The object lessons of this piece can be extended to the broader issue of our assumptions about the lingering effects of slavery. The message is entirely positive: It is most useful to examine present realities, if understanding them is your objective.
Nothing… & Something
Elephant…

It’s final: Lockdowns don’t work
I’d say the headline is overly ambitious, but the body of the article appears to be an evenhanded report. You can look up the subject paper here.
The question is, will the Biden administration and the state governments who “follow the science” follow this science? I doubt it. On this I agree with radical liberal Naomi Wolf, who made news this past week by claiming Joe Biden and our elites will continue to use the pandemic to usher in totalitarianism.
The Virginia War On Fossil Fuels
“An all-electric economy, with the electricity itself reliant on unreliable wind and solar generation, is exactly the future envisioned for Virginia and being put into place by Governor Ralph Northam and the majority in the General Assembly.”

I like Reina Del Cid (dark hair) and Toni Lindgren because they remind me of my youth. In my circles somehow a random collection of incredibly talented young musicians seemed to appear out of nowhere at gatherings. I imagine high school band practice had something to do with it, but I don’t really know.
