As Bill de Blasio Prepares To Leave Office, Part III -- Crime
* At this writing on January 2, de Blasio is finally gone from office. Whether the new guy (Eric Adams) proves to be any better remains to be seen. * Before leaving the topic of de Blasio’s legacy to New York, I would be remiss not to include a post on the subject of crime. * The bottom line for crime, as for every other major issue of public policy, was that the progressive de Blasio ruined everything he touched. Outcomes worsened across the board, and the decline was the clear result of the progressive policies that de Blasio either implemented or advocated. read more

Candace Owens on Pedos and the CIA
This is a bit of a distraction but I'll throw it out there because it has merit. I realize Candace Owens has a show on the Daily Wire but I just clued in she posts clips from her show on YouTube. This one is about pedophilia and the CIA. I don't follow Pizza Gate or Qanon. I have no doubt Bill Clinton had a thing for underage prostitutes, but I do not believe he was raping babies. In this clip from the Candace Owens show she cites a Buzz Feed article about pedophilia in the CIA. It's just the tip of the ice berg but it is real. The point is, the CIA is not our friend.

Did Two U.S. Colonels Permanently Divide North and South Korea?
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Asia* Washington realized that if it did not reach a deal with Moscow, Soviet troops might soon control the entire peninsula. *Here’​s What To Remember: *The two newborn states would eventually pursue starkly divergent paths—but before that, one of the two would call upon its international backers for the firepower to invade the other. On the evening of August 10, 1945, two colonels convened in an office in the Pentagon to consider an extraordinary assignment.

Can Old Japanese Boats Bolster Australia's Submarine Force?

We might do this by buying good second-hand submarines from Japan. The possibility would present some problems and could in fact be unworkable, but it offers such great potential advantages that we must look hard at whether it could be achieved.

Another Covid insurrection in Netherlands
Epoch Times: Thousands of people in the Netherlands capital of Amsterdam gathered Sunday to demonstrate against the Dutch government’s COVID-19 lockdown measures before police cracked down.

The protesters also walked along a main thoroughfare in the capital city, playing music and holding yellow umbrellas in a sign of opposition to the government restr... read more

Libertarianism, Covid, and the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court will hear argument on the Biden vaccine mandates on Friday, Jan. 7. Officially, the cases are about questions of federal power, administrative law, and the capacity of Congress to delegate authority to agencies.
