I’M SO OLD I CAN REMEMBER WHEN PEOPLE (MOSTLY) TRUSTED OUR ELECTED LEADERS:  Parents Sue PA School Districts Over New Woke, ‘Anti-Racist’ Guidelines.

To be fair, most of them shouldn’t have, even then.

SO WE MIGHT BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES WARMER (IN SOME PLACES,) BUT IT’S TRANSITORY, AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE OF CARBON*:  What NASA and the European Space Agency are admitting but the media are failing to report about our current heat wave.

The only problem with carbon is that the climate alarmists are made of just as much carbon as the rest of us.  We should remind them of this early and often.  “Hey, I have an idea to reduce carbon!” said with a bright, manic smile might work.

Also, don’t despair. Yes, it’s warm. It’s Summer. However, just a little bit warmer — a few percents of a degree, in all likelihood, overall — will be great if it results in milder winters.

SEE, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT:  Transgender researchers suffer from ‘traumatic harm’ when STEM students mock survey questions in their answers.

The Academics, otoh make me want to market a t-shirt that says “Down with intellectuals.” Possibly with an pic of a graduate-cap wearing stick figure being tossed from a window.

Also, I self-identify as a gadfly.

TO BE FAIR, THIS COULD BE THE RESULT OF SOME ILL-CONSIDERED RULE WRITING:  EXCLUSIVE: Fox News whistleblowers expose company’s support for far-left charities.

To be fair-er, a company should take care with that sort of thing and not bite the hand that feeds it or spit in the face of its demographics. See Bud Light for why.

PUTTING ALL DECISION POWER IN THE HANDS OF A SMALL GROUP INSULATED FROM THE RESULTS OF THEIR ACTIONS ALWAYS RESULTS IN MADNESS:  Our society’s ‘top brains’ have gone mad — and dysfunctional politics is the result.

They’ve been crazy for almost a century. It’s just that their “media screen” no longer works, for which deo gratias.

THE LEFT AIN’T GOT NO CULTURE:  Rachel Zegler’s Contempt for Snow White Reflects a Culture That’s Forgotten Fairy Tales.

All they have is Marx’s sterile credo resounding in their empty heads.

FOR THE LULZ:  CNN anchor asks the wrong question and gets hit with the truth about Joe Biden.

THE SHIP IS FILLING WITH WATER, AND THE RATS ARE GETTING NERVOUS:  CNN anchor asks the wrong question and gets hit with the truth about Joe Biden.

IT’S NOTHING BUT THEIR HOWLING WHO THEY FEAR:  Another demonstration of two-tiered justice: more charges against Trump and a Trump employee.

FIGHTING BACK:  Black diversity administrator fired for demanding color-blind policies files lawsuit against university.

OF COURSE THEY DO. THE WHOLE THING WAS COOKED BETWEEN BIDEN AND RUSSIA:  U.S. Reportedly Continues Secret Negotiations With Russia.

I mean, people, for the love of heaven “we’re really mad at Russia, but they’re our negotiators with Iran.”  Yeah, sure.

DID THEY ALSO PREDICT THE SUN WILL GO DOWN IN THE EVENING AND COME UP IN THE MORNING:  CBO Predicts Slower Economic Growth and Higher Unemployment Into Next Year.

IN OTHER NEWS WHEN IT RAINS, IT AFFECTS HUMIDITY:  High Mortgages Rate Likely to Have Long-Term Impact on Housing Market.

Economics is a science. It has laws that aren’t arbitrary. Governments ignore that at their own peril, and that of their countries.

SOMETIMES ONE OF MY READERS GETS SO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT A BOOK HE CONVINCES ME TO RUN A REVIEW:  Zafiil: A Review.

NO, OF COURSE THERE WON’T BE AN APOLOGY, BECAUSE AN APOLOGY WOULDN’T BE ENOUGH:  Will There Ever Be an Apology for Covid Overreaction?

If half of what they did came to light the only thing that would start to atone for this would be “we bought a wood chipper and called it amnesty.” So they’re going to keep not admitting they did anything wrong, and hoping they can keep riding that tiger.
