The Nihilism of the Left

VDH with another article worth your time.

So Americans ended up with a neo-socialist government. It is proving as disastrous as it is bitterly instructive—reminding this generation of Americans what the Left does when it grasps power. As all restraints came off, the hard and now unbridled Left went to work to turn America into something like a looney, one-party California. 

I hope future generations will learn from our recent mistakes but I'm afraid history may be doomed to repeat itself.

The Crowded Road to Kyiv

VDH puts the situation in Ukraine in a nutshell:

Still, the Russians may, we hope, have a hard time of it in Ukraine - if for no other reason that the country is larger than Iraq in both size and population. It has lots of supply conduits across the borders with four NATO countries that can finally begin pouring in weaponry. An invader that cannot stop resupply from third-party neighbors can rarely subdue its target.

The good professor also asks a number of questions that deserve answers from the Biden Administration and from the complicit media.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I still like the idea of a straight-up trade of DB Stephon Gilmore from the Patriots for  QB Jimmy Garappolo from the 49ers. I think that works for both teams. My fallback would be to trade a 4th round pick to Jacksonville for QB Gardner Minshew... There is no such thing as "White" math. Anyone who would argue that "2+2 does not equal 4" has no place in education and whatever university gave that person a degree needs to have their credentials revoked... Mitt Romney should run for President in 2024 - as a Centrist Democrat. An idea so crazy it just might work! Romney seems half-way into the Democratic Party already so why not? He'd be the only Centrist Democrat running. This would be fascinating to watch - admit it - you'd watch it too... If Aleksei Navalny doesn't qualify as a "prisoner of conscience" or a "political prisoner" then those terms have no meaning. Amnesty International is a joke. If you give money to Amnesty International, the ACLU, or Greenpeace you are actually making things worse and should be ashamed of yourself...
