All eyes should be on Al Jazeera as being founded, funded, and directed by terrorists.
Teachers unions (and public-employee unions in general) should be abolished.
I need to write an essay on the topic by Monday. Comments are open for ideas for me to steal.
…gives us something to stand for.

…to be declared illegitimate. I hope they can get the votes. I’m not sure if this means that Bannon et al are off the hook, legally, if it passes. But it will at least make a statement about the Democrat corruption.
Jim Meigs describes the sordid history:
…our public health officials, abetted by a politicized media, manufactured an airtight consensus on both Covid science and policy. This consensus was largely immune to scientific evidence or concerns about the real-world impacts of draconian policies.
But not everyone joined the lockstep march on Covid. Stanford University’s Jay Bhattacharya, along with two other public health experts, issued the Great Barrington Declaration. It sensibly argued that the social costs of extended lockdowns far exceeded their mostly hypothetical benefits. The Great Barrington argument was derided in the press and secretly censored on social media at the behest of government officials.
And no one has been held accountable, even at the polls. At a minimum, Fauci should be indicted for perjury to Congress, though that’s hardly the worst of his sins. But nothing will happen to him until we get an Attorney General who cares about the law and the Constitution.

…embodies decades of foreign-policy failure.
Yes.
An interesting interview by Ross Douthat. I do think it provides useful insight into Trump.
[Update Monday afternoon]
Here is the Brit Hum post where I found the link, that allowed me to read the interview:
This is long but very much worth reading. It may be the best defense of Trump (and Vance) I have read. https://t.co/FgidWMTRJG
