It would be nice to finally see some accountability for all of this abuse of power, corruption and lawlessness.

I don’t understand why the Barr Justice Department continues to stonewall on the Flynn case. Someone should ask Barr.
Iran’s Options
They are all bad.
Good.

The assassination of Soleimani was Trump’s farewell letter to the Middle East.
The Suleimani Strike
Thoughts and links from Instapundit.
We’ve been letting Iran get away with far too much for four decades. And the George W. Bush administration was feckless in that regard as well. I had thought one of the primary purposes of removing Saddam was to pressure Iran, but if that was part of the plan they botched it almost completely.

Horowitz destroys the media lie that he found no political bias.

Impeach Joe Biden
I’d like to see this happen, but not a chance with this House. Maybe after the election, if the Republicans take it back.
The Battle Of The Bulge
It’s now the 75th anniversary. Here’s a satire I wrote to commemorate the 60th.
Boris Johnson’s Revolution
Thoughts from Michael Barone.
I’m encouraged that he wants to emphasize science and technology. This could create some useful Anglospheric alliances in space, particularly if he sets up a Royal Space Force.

He’s going after the Beeb. That would be amazing if he could get rid of that pack of leftist hacks.
