Biden blocking therapeutics that work to Covid patients in Red States
Victoria Taft: Joe Biden is cutting off supplies of a medical therapy that helps people fend off COVID and keeps them from going to the hospital and possibly dying.

"The U.S. Is a Powder Keg"
*"The U.S. Is a Powder Keg"* by Brian Maher "Inflation is soaring, economic growth is slowing, and the nation is bitterly divided politically between Red and Blue.

And Americans are rapidly losing faith in the institutions that have held this diverse country together. Add it all up and the U.S. is a “powder keg,” argues Jeffrey Tucker today.

DC jail conditions are intolerable for Jan. 6 defendants
Megan Fox: Jacob Lang has been awaiting trial without bail in the D.C. jail for his involvement in the January 6 riot at the Capitol for almost a year, along with many others who have been charged with crimes connected to that day. With no trial date in sight, he and his fellow inmates languish in a jail they say is inhumane. The J6 prisoners’ complaints about filthy conditions and inhumane treatment resulted in a surprise inspection that found everything they were saying was true. As a result, over 400 prisoners were moved to different facilities—none of them J6 prisoners. Lang... read more
One Soviet Sub Almost Started a War with Sweden

Chet Raymo, “The Sound And Fury”
*“The Sound And Fury”* by Chet Raymo “Not so long ago, I mentioned here Himmler and Heydrich, two of Hitler's most terrible henchmen.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn’t feel sad about my past. I only ... read more
