Random thoughts on the passing scene.
Iran has officially begun restricting U.N. nuclear inspections in said country. No doubt this means President Biden, whose foreign policy is weaker than a newborn kitten, is considering sending a large pallet of cash to the Persian nation in the dead of night.
President Biden set a land speed record in cancelling the Keystone XL Pipeline that would have benefitted America and Canada. In a disturbing act of useful idiocy, however, Biden seems less inclined to make an effort to halt the pro-Russia Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Democrats’ efforts to get television carriers to cancel conservative news outlets is part of a plan to do just that and then claim — no matter how cynically — it’s not censorship because the state isn’t directly suppressing free speech in violation of the First Amendment.

It’s only a matter of time before “Kindergarten Cop” is cancelled because of this scene.
Things have gotten so bad in Seattle that you can now get a good deal on a kilo of cocaine at a thrift shop.
The following observation by Frank Chodorov is inspiring: “The American State…[was] midwifed by a coterie of men unusually wise in the history of political institutions and committed to the safeguarding of the infant from the mistakes of its predecessors.”
