THERE’S ECONOMIC IGNORANCE AND HISTORICAL IGNORANCE TOO.  SO, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS?  Florida Governor Candidate DeSantis: Civics ‘Ignorance’ Led to Ocasio-Cortez Win.

WE NEED IT FOR EVERYTHING ELSE!  Trump in Florida: ‘The Time Has Come for Photo ID’ for Voting.  (However, unless Motor Voter is castrated, we’re still going to get non-citizens registering and some number of them voting.  In most states they don’t ask you for proof of citizenship to vote.  It’s discriminatory or something.  Look, I have an accent you can cut with an ax.  Would I be offended at being asked for proof of citizenship when I register to vote.  Heck no.  It would be the way I’d know my franchise is secure.  What disturbs me is that in close on thirty years, I’ve never been asked to prove my citizenship to register to vote.  Not once.)

SO I’VE REMARKED BEFORE THAT I TAKE NIAGEN AND THINK IT HELPS. Now reader Calvin Dodge writes:

Anecdotal support for NAD+. I’d been taking it for a bit, and thought I noticed a difference in energy level. So I ordered some for my 84-year-old mom. She said she used to just want to stay in bed when she woke up in the morning. But NOW she has energy, and raring to get up and do stuff.

This is the relevant part of her email to me:

“I think that that is the reason that now I want to get up and do things where before the very thought of having to mow, or water, or vacuum, etc., just seemed to exhaust me.”

Well, good! I also recommend CoenzymeQ10, which both I and several members of my family have found very helpful in reducing migraines and improving general energy.

YES, BUT IT OFFERS INSUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIAL CONTROL: Capitalism Has Achieved What Marxism Merely Promised. And social control — with a hefty admixture of theft — is what the left is all about.

PROGRESS: “The U.S. Senate voted narrowly on Tuesday to confirm Britt Grant to Atlanta’s 11th U.S. Circuit, greenlighting the Georgia Supreme Court justice for a lifetime position on the powerful federal appeals court that frequently takes on hotly contested issues such as gun rights and the death penalty.”

OPEN THREAD: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the comments section that day, I can tell you!
