The Other McCain is up first with Crazy People Are Dangerous

While I don’t think the quality of psychiatric care in the Cook County correctional system is ideal, at least she won’t be attacking random strangers with baseball bats.

EBL - Saturday Girls with Guns

Saturday night is right for girls with guns...

Power Line - First Thing, Let’s Fire All the Teachers

Well, probably not all. But when did public school education become, on net, a force for evil?

Granite Grok - Twenty Years, $5 Trillion, 2% Results

Obviously, the Green Energy folks led by John Kerry, Al Gore, and the Wiz Kid, Greta Thunberg, are not mathematicians. In the last twenty years, the world has invested $5 Trillion, most of it in America, for a net reduction in fossil fuels of 2%.
