Obama redux, stealing intellectual property. That next big advance that might have saved your child isn’t going to happen because the government is seeking to get the fruit of billions of dollars in research investment on the cheap.
The Saudis Snub Biden Again

Eventually it may sink in for those who don’t know it that the United States doesn’t run the world anymore and isn’t particularly well liked by much of it. Higher gas and heating oil prices this winter should — since nothing else will — help to educate them.
200 day gap in Presidential Records? Sure
No visitor logs for Biden’s meetings in Delaware
The Secret Service tells us that there are no records of who Biden met with in the 200 days he was in Delaware since he tool office? Seriously? The President of the United States and no records for 200 days?
Tell me the innocent explanation for this you would have accepted from Trump.

Special Report: One of the Nord Stream 2 Pipelines Was Undamaged
The question, “Who sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines, and why?” remains unanswered. I have my guess. What’s yours?
My guess: The U.S. Navy sabotaged the pipeline. The purpose was to prevent Germany from reconciling with Russia by abandoning Washington-imposed economic sanctions.
Originalist Interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
Conservatives want to gut the Voting Rights Act on the theory that the 14th Amendment must be interpreted and applied in a race neutral way. New Justice Brown set the record straight. Those honoring their much vaunted “Originalist” credentials would have to agree with her. Of course, they won’t. This “conservative” Court is about outcomes, not the Rule of Law.
Interesting war statistic that Russians are the biggest supplier of materiel to Ukraine.
“Combined with weapons taken during Russia’s retreat from Kyiv and other parts of northern Ukraine in April, these recent gains have turned Moscow into by far the largest supplier of heavy weapons for Ukraine, well ahead of the U.S. or other allies in sheer numbers, according to open-source intelligence analysts. Western-provided weapons, though, are usually more advanced and precise.“
And Putin was blaming the West for supplying weapons and ammunition to Ukraine. This is like disarming a mugger then shooting him with his own gun. Karma?
MSM panics, free speech a threat to democracy
Twitter deal imminent, Musk to remove guardrails
Remember when the press championed free speech as necessary to democracy?
That was a long time ago, they really only like speech they control.
This is going to be fun.
Russian nuclear submarine armed with ‘doomsday’ weapon disappears from Arctic harbor: report
A few days ago we had the curious story of the Nord Stream sabotage. Now this. I sense a media narrative being constructed.

Imagine there’s no Heaven. — John Lenin
Of the several points the writer makes there are two I find compelling.
The first is that federal disaster spending should be offset by cutting back other spending. This is the responsible thing to do since the alternative is to print money to fund disaster relief or else to raise taxes, both of which are clearly irresponsible.
The second is the idea of eliminating federal disaster spending in its entirety. I doubt the American public can ever be convinced that doing so is a good idea, but theoretically, at least, I see some merit. For example, the certainty of federal disaster relief surely encourages populations to inhabit riskier locales than they otherwise might.
