REPUBLICANS ♥ IGNORANCEKyle Whitmire, a columnist for the Alabama Media Group, impressed a lot of liberals this week with a column in which he described his efforts to determine what a state legislator who's a vocal opponent of critical race theory actually thinks critical race theory is. (Spoiler alert: The legislator, Chris Pringle, doesn't have a well-informed understanding of critical race theory and struggles to name specific authors or works that offend him.) And then there's this, from Kevin Kruse, the historian: I’m not sure why the governor is proudly sharing an article which shows he doesn’t ac... read more

Biden-Putin Summit Joe Biden's Flight Forward Crashes Into RealityWatching the braying of the Washington D.C. bi-partisan globalists, Fox News, and the hyenas in the news media, you would think that the summit which occurred on June 16th between Russia and the United States should have consisted of Joe Biden hurling insults at Vladimir Putin in order to provoke a public fist fight. Never mind that one protagonist, the hologram President of the U.S., is a 78 year old guy who has problems reading from a teleprompter and wears aviator glasses as a sign of potency. Or, that Vladimir Putin is a judo blackbelt. read more

The numbers boggle the mind
Regular readers will recall that last year, I put up several articles about the collapse in freight shipping across the Pacific from Asia to America. This year, the story has been all about the sudden, overwhelming reversal of that situation, to the point that costs have increased many times over and there's a desperate shortage of ships and containers to handle the demands of trade. So bad has it become that Home Depot (the third biggest importer of goods into the USA) has chartered its own container ship, to handle its own imports rather than trust them to uncertain schedule... read more

There are hundreds if not thousands of small dams out there that all need to be completely reworked. what I baulk at is the engineering approach.

If it is an earthen dam, use a bull dozer during the low season to slowly cut down the dam. Natuaral erosion will assist you without ever been out of hand. Once drained, it is no problem to open the breach wide enough to accomadate the spring flood. Wh... read more
