They’re now averaging $4 a gallon. I paid sixty bucks to fill the BMW last weekend to drive back down from the Bay area. Just nuts.
The Day Of Reckoning
Conrad Black writes that it’s now dawning for the Democrats. I hope that Barr exposes the whole scheme.
[Update a few minutes later]
Strzok and Page are back in the news. I think we’re going to start seeing more and more as we continue to turn over the rocks.
[Update mid morning]
The Obama administration’s problem with spying, and Trump.
The Carolina Reaper
My brother was visiting out here a year or so ago, and was trying to find these in the store. No one had ever heard of them. The hottest pepper we have locally is habanero. Anyway, I like spicy food (though it makes me sweat) but these people are nuts.
Dentistry
People have far too much faith in the medical profession in general, but I’d have never put up with this kind of thing. I’ll always get a second opinion on any major dental procedure, particularly when the person recommending it is going to perform (and profit) from it. A few months ago, I broke a molar that had been weakened from a filling. But it was just the side, and the basic tooth remained intact. I got the dentist to grind it for a crown, and we avoided killing the tooth (for now, at least). I’m sure a lot of others would have recommended a root canal (though those are generally done by specialists).
The Childrens’ Crusade
Thoughts on the modern version of it. What’s horrible is that children like Greta Thunberg are being terrified by leftist propaganda.
Local Man
Space Guard
As if the issue wasn’t already confused enough, now the Pentagon and Congress are talking about a “space national guard” (which is not a U.S. Space Guard).
John Batchelor Show
I’m going to be on Hotel Mars this evening at 1830 EDT (1530 PDT).
[Thursday-morning update]
Sorry, I forgot that he records the shows. That’s just when I did it. I’ll let people know when it will air (if they care, or even if they don’t).
The Democrat Primary
Yup. The only one who has a chance of beating Trump is Biden, and he probably can’t get the nomination.
[Update a while later]
[Update late morning]
With twenty-one entrants, here’s the state of the 2020 Democrat primary.
Avengers Endgame
Kyle Smith thinks that it’s the best of the series. The last one was almost overwhelming for me, but maybe we’ll check this one out.
