There Is Evidence for an Impeachment Inquiry

Source: The Wall Street Journal (free link).

I have mixed feelings about the potential impeachment of President Biden. On one hand I have no doubt that Biden’s corruption and incompetence represent an active danger to our nation. On the other hand, corruption and incompetence are so prevalent in our nation that it seems unlikely to me the removal of this president would make much difference.

Mixed feelings aside, I support the impeachment inquiry. I don’t know what we will learn or what may happen as a result, but learning is inherently superior to not-learning.

You buy your EV I’ll buy my ICE.

The House passed a bipartisan bill to forbid California or any other state from banning ICE cars. Even the Secretary of Transportation learned an ugly lesson while trying to sell the EV concept with an EV road trip dog and pony show that left him with nothing but egg all over his face. Reason? Because the charging infrastructure is far from there, too costly and too time consuming. It is also illegal to ban market choice to promote an agenda.

Will the Senate see the light? Will Biden? Doubt it but remember Va tethered our transportation policy to CA while under Democrat control so those in favor of this nonsense should prepare to smile with their thumb up their butt while waiting hours to “gas” up at largely nonfunctional EV charging stations…if you can find one.

Supreme Court Brings Common Sense Back in Threefer

So it took the Supreme Court to rule on common sense such as:

  1. You can’t discriminate against white people in college admissions.
  2. Biden and liberals can’t buy votes from those that made a contract to pay for education they chose and benefitted from by canceling their debt with OPM.
  3. You can’t force someone to buy into and participate in LGBT anything who has serious religous or common moral grounds to object to it. If you want a gay cake, go to someone who makes gay cakes instead of trying to force someone who doesn’t for good reason. Easy

And the extremist left wing is fuming because common sense prevailed.

What to Make of the Wagner Mutiny?

Various theories are being advanced to explain the peculiar event of Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of Russia’s private military company, Wagner Group, attempting, then abandoning, a military coup against Russian president Vladimir Putin. I am partial to the hypothesis offered in the source article.

Less-than Random Thoughts

Here are three items from my reading this morning that stand out.

Sound of Freedom: The Story of One Man’s War on Child Trafficking

Few subjects inspire pre-recorded denials and deflections as reliably as this one. Were there any liberals around, one of them predictably would mention Catholic priests; another would claim the numbers are inflated; still another would accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist. Yet, sadly, this story is not going away.

More Falsehoods of World War II

This follow-on to my recent post about WW II covers a variety of astonishments: The technical and strategic prowess of Stalin’s military; the Nazi/Zionist alliance prior to the war; Jewish soldiers in Hitler’s army. The writer hopes that the true history of WW II will inspire diplomatic humility of the sort that may allow present risks of WW III to be defused.

Unmasking the Bureaucracy: Philip Howard on the Administrative State | The Vivek Show

It’s a campaign video, but one that usefully explores a subject that too often is dismissed and ignored: the civil service threat to democracy. We’re going to need a very powerful or forceful president to solve this problem.
