John Kerry
He’s back, in all of his tone-deaf glory.
Forget the fact that to first order, there are no solar-panel manufacturers here. Has anyone done an economic analysis of shifting from a high-density energy source to a low one? Kerry et al say that solar-panel production is the one in which jobs are growing fastest, but that’s meaningless outside the context of how many there are, or how low labor productivity they are in energy production, compared to gas and oil. It’s easy to grow something that is minuscule fast, but that doesn’t solve the problems of all the people Biden just threw out of work.
Russia
This appears to be the biggest mass demonstration since the fall of the Soviet Union. And in such frigid temperatures.
Washington DC
…is now effectively under martial law.
The Tragedy Of Trump’s Presidency
I largely agree with Andy McCarthy’s requiem. Trump has always been his own worst enemy. I have no hope for the Biden/Harris presidency, other than taking back the House, and perhaps the Senate, in two years. But they’ll only be able to do damage with executive orders, because I think that both houses are already gridlocked, though with nominal Democrat control.
Taiwan
Yes, Trump should recognize it on his way out the door. It’s something he probable would have gotten around to in a second term, but he doesn’t have much time now.
Wokeness As Secular Puritanism
Thoughts on the American religion.
An Ascendant Left
…silences and excludes its political enemies.
The Great Unraveling
Depressed, and depressing thoughts from Bari Weiss.
Samizdat
Bob Zimmerman writes that we’re about to find out who our real friends are.
[Update a while later]
Fascism comes to the U.S.
It’s been coming for decades.
It’s been on its way for decades. It seems to have finally arrived. The question is: What to do about it?
Fortunately, their hold on Congress is probably too tenuous for them to ram through the things they need to cement their power, and I suspect that the intraparty divisions this spring (and even late winter) will be brutal, and something for those who value liberty and the Constitution to take advantage of.
