+The problem with the left these days is their inexplicable and totally misguided belief that the only place they can possibly see moral superiority is in the mirror. Of itself this is amazing. Wasn’t it just a few short years ago that we were being told in morality didn’t matter? I guess the old house needs to be torn down before you can build a new one.

+ You can have freedom or you can have a government big enough to buy your loyalty with free stuff. It is literally impossible to have both.

+ Primary defeat in Wyoming for the establishment critter Liz Cheney. I really don’t have any comments on that other than what I’ve already said but it feels just so very good to say it.

+ The church of Saint Greta of climate change is claiming that the Canadian wildfires we’ve all been suffering from are of course the result of climate change. Meantime the mainstream media who has always been in the pocket of the left is doing its best to spike any stories about the number of arrests in Canada on arson charges as regards those wildfires. Those wildfires may have caused a bump in the temperature, but the fires were man-made….

+As regards those wildfires, a couple of points become fairly clear. First, all of it showing up at once suggests not only arson but a coordinated effort… But imagine with me if you will the position that the church of Saint Greta is now in. It’s a little difficult to argue against the use of fossil fuels, when one wildfire event like this puts more CO2 into the atmosphere then all of the fossil fuels that we will burn for the next 30 years will produce. Even if we were to eliminate fossil fuels completely today, right now, those games in the supposed CO2 targets would be completely wiped out by one day of those wildfires. And that assumes that CO2 is a pollutant, which it is not.

The defenders of socialism are constantly asking me to define both socialism and capitalism. I believe the best answer is for the questioner to consider whether they’d be happier living in South Korea or North Korea. Or perhaps asking them to research the period in Germany when the Berlin Wall came down, and note which direction people ran. Ask them how often they see people using 1950s automobiles and whatever scrap wood they can lay their hands on, to float the 90 miles from Florida to Cuba. The defenders of socialism tender wander off into the weeds at that point.
