Does anyone doubt that Trump would have won reelection if it weren’t for Covid, which the CDC now says we can treat like the flu?

Vietnam, Iraq, Ukraine: easily avoidable wars, entered into under false pretenses. Will we ever learn or does every generation need one?

The situation in Gaza and the accompanying protests are a disaster for the left, an internal conflict along their coalition’s most serious fault line

The right should avoid the impulse to solve this problem for them by becoming the enforcement scapegoats for the establishment

When’s the last time that the federal government defunded a program that wasn’t working?

Consider just how many things re-confirmed here have been widely denounced as propaganda/treasonous/etc.:
- Talks to end the war were possible, close, *and desirable*
- NATO membership was central to the war
- Johnson played role in scuttling it

This was a fantastic example of a narrative scaffold. Immediately upon Navalny's death, everyone in western officialdom spoke with certainty that this was murder ordered by Putin.

Now, the scaffold collapses, but of course nobody will change their minds, and it will quietly be…

As Biden proposes unprecedented new taxes, it’s worth asking: what do we get for all this money?
Secure borders? No
Safe streets? No
Excellent schools? No
Paying down the debt? No
Just endless wars and money for client regimes which kick back some of it to politicians’ kids.

So what was the $61 billion for?

True. Not even a choice now.

Let’s say you build a business from scratch and qualify for Biden’s new 25% unrealized gains tax. So you have to sell 25% of your business to pay the tax. But now you have to pay 44.6% cap gains + 13.3% CA on that. So you actually have to sell ~37%. Is this right?

Let sleeping dogs lie.
