It exists, and it seems to be tumbling out of control. I have to say I’m more surprised by the former than the latter. Of course, it’s actually easier to orbit a satellite than it is to deliver a warhead on target, as long as you’re not fussy about how precise the orbit insertion is.
And on an unrelated grammar note:
Russia added its voice to the condemnation of the launch and also called on other nations to refrain from further escalating tensions.
“The new rocket launch carried out by North Korea flaunts the opinion of the international community, including calls from the Russian side,” it said.
I don’t know if the Russians released this in English, or the translator screwed up, but the word is “flout,” not “flaunt.”
Technically speaking, yes, but as he notes, it’s a more libertarian solution than the status quo under the NRLA. If we can get that repealed (won’t happen with this president or Congress) then right-to-work laws become unnecessary.
Some thoughts on the paradoxes, from Victor Davis Hanson. It is frightening to contemplate how close we came to losing the second World War, and were only saved by bad decisions on the part of Hitler and Tojo.
Expect recall attempts, lawsuits, ballot questions, and more money poured into the gubernatorial and state legislative races than ever before…”We’re looking at two years of war to hold the ground we took today.”
I predict that Michigan job growth in the next two years will help.
This alternative version the left offered didn’t have to be true. It didn’t even have to appear to be true. There did not have to be a single grain of a fact anywhere near it. It just had to be floated out there and give so-called mainstream journalists enough of an excuse to decide not to cover the real story. Mainstream media journalists know all about editing, for instance, since they go out of their way to edit out the conservative world view in just about every story they write or produce. Many journalists know about false flag operations, because they are living false flag operations. They pose as objective while they work as Democratic Party operatives. That’s how they spend their entire careers.
The left’s alternative reality keeps winning, though. The casual news consumer scans Google News and sees nothing about the unions’ use of violence to attempt to overturn the legislative process. The casual news consumer has been trained to hate alternative media that counters the prevailing culture. The mainstream media didn’t report that Big Labor tried its hand at intimidating Michigan’s elected representatives out of restoring for the state’s workers the freedom of choice and assembly, so to most Americans, it didn’t happen.
They’re criminally insane. No one should be serving life without parole for a non-violent crime. Of course, in California, we have a huge taxpayer-funded lobby for this, in the form of the prison-guard union.
When the left is violent, the media tries to avert its eyes. When the Tea Party was peaceful, they make up stories about violence. And note, once again, the mess that the protesters left behind, as opposed to the Tea Party, which always leave a place cleaner than they found it.
