The PUC has voted to keep gas plants open for a few more years.
The Coming Coup
A disturbing post on the Democrats’ plans for the military.
The UN
Yes, it is long past time to defund it.
California
…is now a Third World country.
Yes, it’s insane. We’ve weathered the weather pretty well. Sunday was miserable hot even at the beach; it hit the mid nineties in the middle of the afternoon, and it was too hot to work in the yard. Fortunately, sea breeze started to cool things down, and the temperature had dropped considerably by early evening. We haven’t had any problem sleeping. I’m hoping that the worst is over, but September is the worst month here. I vastly prefer winter in southern California.
Leftist Racism
I think it pretty clearly is. I hope that at some point a federal judge will end this insanity.
On Joe Biden
One senses that Kyle Smith is not a fan:
Biden’s voter pitch is this: Ignore a half-century record of dishonesty, incompetence, and wretched judgment and think only this: “Joe’s a nice guy who reaches across the aisle.” It may work, given exogenous circumstances, but then again, as Barack Obama reportedly said in private during this year’s primaries, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up.”
It’s long, but RTWT.
The Lockdowns
Were they a mistake?
Yes, certainly, at least in terms of the duration. I think that future historians will think them one of the biggest policy blunders in human history.
More Hypocrisy
It’s good to be part of the Nomenklatura.

Via Glenn notes that, in the past, these people would be institutionalized.

Somehow, this seems related: This is not Weimar, and the Trump show is no Cabaret.
