A federal judge in Mississippi has asked that an historian be brought in to assist him in deciding original intent wrt the writers of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Sounds like a good idea, as he contends, judges are not historians and trained to understand the intent of white, property owning men in the 18th Century. HIs words, not mine)

Biden’s White House took credit for getting Seniors the largest COLA adjustment in decades even though it was an automatic result of a law passed in 1972. I guess he does have a point, in that it was triggered by the highest inflation in 40 years.
Fake version of Commitment to America
Of course, desperate lies about Social Security in the closing days of a campaign are standard Democrat tactics, trying to frighten less-informed seniors at the last moment.
Yet the MSM is picking up this obvious hoax and running with it.
Biden threated windfall profits tax.
While it is true that oil companies have had high profits over the last 4 quarters, Biden ignores that those profitable quarters follow 5 quarters of record pandemic losses. The current high profits are necessary to pay debts incurred in the pandemic and to restore depleted cash reserves.
Remember that when Trump wanted to buy crude at $24/bbl for the strategic reserves while those losses accumulated, Democrats refused claiming it was a bailout for big oil. We’re paying for that now in higher profit margins and will pay for it again when we refill the reserve at $80-100/bbl/

In these societies, 70% feel positively towards China, and 66% positively towards Russia.”
Antidotes to propaganda and “Three Wise Monkeyism” are my guess.

Like it or not, the philosophical preoccupations of the elite affect us all. In this brief video Sabine Hossenfelder lays out the essential elements of longtermism, a philosophy she claims is popular among some famous rich people today.
This philosophy sounds to me like a variation on the theme of collectivism, or an attempt to use the language of risk assessment to justify collectivist ideologies.
Covid-19 hysteria is the greatest propaganda success story in history. Early on, anyone who suggested the disease was comparable to a severe flu was shouted down and denounced. But now we are learning that Covid-19’s infection fatality rate (IFR) is indeed comparable to the flu:
This is a start. As our hindsight matures, I expect we will discover much more about Covid and its vaccines that we wildly misunderstood.

Washington Times Pelosi assaulted.
This was apparently a politically motivated attack on an 82 year old man. This is unacceptable and the culprit should be in prison for life.
We have to draw a hard line between rhetoric and violence.
“There is going to be investigations coming,” Greene added. “And there should be. There definitely should be, because the way corporations have conducted themselves, I’ve always called it corporate communism.”
Greene also advised big businesses to “lawyer up” and focus on “customer service” instead of politics.”
