CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN OBSESSION OF THE GLOBAL ELITES: Biden Is Spending $1 Trillion to Fight Climate Change. Voters Don’t Care. “A Journal poll, which surveyed voters in seven swing states in March, found that just 3% of 18-to-34-year-old voters named climate change as their top issue, with most citing the economy, inflation or immigration. That is roughly in line with voters of all ages, 2% of whom cited climate change as their top issue.”

WELL, THAT’S BECAUSE THEY ARE: 57% Believe Democrats Use Illegal Immigration to ‘Build Permanent Majority.’

OPEN THREAD: On time tonight.

I’VE MOVED ON FROM NAPOLEONIC WAR NOVELS AND WWII NOVELS TO FUTURISTIC WAR NOVELS: I’m very much enjoying the Sentenced to War series, a vaguely Starship Troopers sort of setting, except that military service can be imposed as a punishment for violating traffic laws. Very well-written, decent on the hard-SF action, page-turning stuff.

I DUNNO, IRANIAN MONEY MAYBE? Why Is Biden Letting Hamas Off the Hook?

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: University administrator bought 500 feet of nylon rope ahead of planned ‘intro to bondage’ workshop led by rape-porn author: EXCLUSIVE.

OKAY, GROOMER: Oh, Boy: Biden’s Campaign Is Consulting With The Lincoln Project and the Jokes Write Themselves.

GOOD QUESTION:

87% of Americans don’t have student loans.

Why should they be forced to foot the bill of the 13%?

NATALIE SOLENT: A “PALESTINIAN WRITER.” “The tweet calls Walid Daqqa ‘a Palestinian writer,’ as if he had been imprisoned for his writings – as if he were the sort of prisoner of conscience on whose behalf I used to write letters on that special blue Air Mail paper, back when I was a member of Amnesty International. . . . Amnesty’s writer, Erika Guevara-Rosas, did not say much about Moshe Tamam. She cited Walid Daqqa’s youthful age at the time, 24, but did not see fit to say that his victim Moshe Tamam was just 19. And she skips over some relevant details in that brief word ‘killed.’ Daqqa and his PFLP comrades did not just kill Moshe Tamam, they tortured him to death. They gouged out his eyes and castrated him. Then they murdered him.”

I remember when Amnesty International opposed torture and murder, instead of covering for torture and murder.
