The violence of Biden's inflation

Roger Kimball: ... Still, mention of “fuel” reminds me of the Biden administration’s war on energy. About the first thing Biden did on coming to office was kill the Keystone pipeline. That cost tens of thousands of jobs and overnight assured that America would go from being energy independent to begging OPEC to pump more oil. It also assured that Americans would being paying a lot more to run their cars and heat (or cool) their houses.

Censorship and Democrats' paranoia

Washington Examiner: Is there an army of 30 million people preparing for revolution if Republicans don’t win the 2024 election?

Advice from Kurt Vonnegut

In 2006, a group of students at Xavier High School in New York City was given an assignment by their English teacher, Ms. LOCKWOOD, that was to test their persuasive writing skills: they were asked to write to their favorite author and ask him or her to visit the school. It’s a measure of his ongoing influence that five of those pupils chose KURT VONNEGUT, the novelist responsible for, amongst other highly-respected books, Slaughterhouse-Five; sadly, however, he never made that trip.
