The Other McCain is up first with ‘Climate Change’ Is a Dangerous Cult

Once the Soviet Union fell apart in the early 1990s, it took with it one of the Left’s big rallying points — opposition to the U.S. military, and especially the fear of nuclear war — and thus created a need for some new “cause” to unite the forces of anti-Americanism. Eventually, this gave rise to the movement to destroy American industry, especially oil and gas production, in the name of stopping “global warming.”

Mary Pat Campbell (Meep) has a bit on the 2022 Nobel prizes. Memorial: A Well-Deserved Nobel Peace Prize

One thing to remember as the Russia-Ukraine war continues is that there are many people within Russia who oppose Putin (he can’t manage to kill all of them right away…)

Volokh Conspiracy - Some Berkeley Law "Jew Free Zone" Updates

They are not interested in compromise, hearing other perspectives, or anything else. They want Israel to be replaced by Palestine and they have no other principle. Even the possibility of the genocide of the Jewish population of Israel is not a significant concern. Again, the point of calling Israeli Jews "settler colonialists" is that they should have no human rights, and just as, e.g., there are few regrets on the left for the many Frenchmen killed and ultimately expelled from Algeria, the same is true of Israel. Of course, most would likely prefer that the Jews surrender peacefully, but that's a preference, not a requirement.

Power Line - A Ship of Fools

If you think your town or city is badly governed, remember that it could be worse: you could live in Los Angeles.

Appalling ignorance, racism, corruption and political greed came to light when someone recorded a conversation among three members of the Los Angeles City Council and the city’s most powerful labor leader. The Los Angeles Times covers a story that must be painful for the paper, since everyone involved is a Democrat

Again from The Other McCain - Columbus and the Meaning of America

Sometime during the mob madness of 2020, I lost count of how many statues had been vandalized, but at least three statues of Christopher Columbus were among the targets of the “social justice” hooligans.

One may observe that this destructive impulse was not coincidental. Everything the Left ever does is destructive.

Wombat-socho at The Other McCain - The Annual Admiral Of The Ocean Sea Appreciation Post

Well, actually, Stacy did a damn fine job already talking about Almirante Colombo and why he still triggers the uneducated wokies among us, so I’ll confine myself to posting some pertinent memes by folks on the Intertubes, recommending some books, and mourning a couple of folks who are no longer with us.
