Seditious shitheads need a safe space to spread their nonsense and hatch their plots. After Amazon and Apple decided that “Enough is enough” sedition and lies on Parler and pulled the plug, Russia steps up to ensure that these shitheads will not be silenced. I guess Putin is dedicated to protecting the “Marketplace of ideas.”

Magic Mitch is already starting his amnesia tour. For four years he sat there while lies, misinformation and deceit flowed from the Oval Office. NOW he blames the instigator-in-chief for January 6th. And overlooks that some of the “others” he is referring to are sitting on his side of the aisle in the Senate Chamber.

Anyone surprised by that; stand on your head. (Compliments of COL Henry Blake, CO, MASH 4077)

Mitch, you got your judges. But that cold have happened with ANY Republican president.

Virginia 48th in nation in vaccine roll out

Gee, aren’t we lucky to have a doctor for our governor.

I have seen no solid explanation for the miserable performance of our Dept of Health, but I have been hearing that many people are being told to expect vaccination through clinics set up by their employers. I suspect the delay is that while giving lip service to including those over 65, the vaccines are simply not being sent to clinics where they can apply for them and instead are being funneled still to the non health care ‘essential workers’ through an incredibly complex distribution plan that leaves vaccine sitting in freezers waiting for these employer based clinics to materialize.

If anyone else has better info I would like to hear it. There is no good reason for more than 2/3rds of the vaccine delivered to Virginia to sit in freezers while people die.

“At the core of Epstein’s analysis is his identification of conditions under which so-called ‘big tech’ firms might be prevented by the common law from deplatforming, or refusing to platform, customers. Specifically, the law sometimes holds that firms that are monopolists have obligations to the public that are more extensive than those firms would have were they not monopolists.

LA Times on Biden Agenda

That’s what the LA Times says, and I fear they are right.

Consider, California’s poverty rate of 18.2% is second only to the District of Columbia.

California also has the nation’s greatest income inequality.

California has the highest gasoline prices and highest electricity prices in the country.

Everyone who wants to grow a business is fleeing California.

And their dishwashers don’t work.

Marvelous.

The publisher apologizes for lying about Dominion voting machines. Grudgingly probably. But admission of publishing false information is a start.

Bill of Attainder

A bill of attainder is essentially a trial conducted by the legislative branch. The Constitution prohibits such acts of the Legislative Branch against any citizen. Impeachment is a legislative process to remove an office holder.

The moment President Trump leaves office, he is no longer subject to trial by the Senate, regardless of their intent in doing so.

Members of Congress take an oath to defend the Constitution, would it be too much to ask them to read it?

I have long advocated the view that economics is — or can become — a pure science. The Constructal Law which the article describes may represent a small step in that direction. Or, it may be just a rich source of analogies useful in illustrating basic economic principles.

Either way, the Constructal Law is interesting in itself. It would explain, for example, why nature appears to have the attribute of intelligent design.
