Biden begins to sanction Russia for Ukraine invasion
National Review: President Biden announced several new economic sanctions against Russia on Tuesday, one day after the Kremlin moved to formally invade two separatist regions of Eastern Ukraine that have long been under the control of its proxies. “This is the beginning of a Russian invasion of Ukraine,” Biden said. “I’m going to begin to impose sanctions in response, far beyond the steps we and our allies and partners imposed in 2014. If Russia goes further with this invasion we stand prepared to go further.” In what he referred to as the “first tranche” of expected sanctions, ... read more

Crypto currency's take a beating from Ukraine fighting
Washington Examiner: The price of Bitcoin has tumbled amid fears that Russia will soon invade Ukraine and engage in an all-out war. Bitcoin fell below $37,000 early on Tuesday morning, a precipitous 6.5% decrease from the day before. Since dropping, it clawed its way back up a bit to about $37,700 by midday on Tuesday, a number that is still much lower than the $45,000 it reached earlier this month. Other major cryptocurrencies have also retreated. Ethereum was clocking in at $2,610 on Tuesday, a nearly 25% decrease from where it was at earlier this month. Ripple was at $0.70, d... read more
Can Romney's Child Tax Credit Compromise Make It Through Congress?
*Stephen Silver* *Child Tax Credit, * Romney's deal may be the only way for the child tax credit to survive, although whether it has enough support remains an open question. The expanded child tax credit expired at the end of 2021 after it became clear that there wasn’t enough support to pass the Build Back Better package, which would have funded the credit for one more year. Despite this setback, a number of Democratic senators have continued to push for a continuation of the expanded credit, and some lawmakers have highlighted that the expiration of the credit led to a noticeab... read more
How Would China Respond to a Russian Invasion of Ukraine?
*Kris Osborn* *China-Taiwan War, Asia* A Chinese invasion of Taiwan could be made more likely if U.S. forces were not operating in close enough proximity to intervene against a Chinese assault.

Could China feel emboldened by a successful Russian invasion of Ukraine and seize the opportunity to invade and annex Taiwan?

Judge thwarts Biden's carbon tax scheme
Rick Moran: Judge James D. Cain Jr., a federal judge in Louisiana, has thrown a gigantic monkey wrench into the Biden administration’s plans to implement schemes that would use the “social cost of carbon” to measure the real-world impact of climate change. The administration was planning on using the entirely fictional number of $51 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions to calculate taxes, fees, and the cost of infrastructure spending. It’s fictional because when Donald Trump was president, the number was $7 per ton of carbon dioxide emissions. Isn’t it positively magical how the ... read more

US Signals Putin’s Donbas Deployment Might Not Trigger Massive Sanctions
A US official on Monday signaled that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s deployment of troops into the Donbas as “peacekeepers” might not trigger the “massive” sanctions the US has been threatening to hit Russia with if it “invades” Ukraine. The US has long accused Russia of having troops deployed in the Donbas, which Moscow has denied. A senior administration official told reporters on Monday that Putin’s peacekeeping deployment would “not be a new step” and would only make the Russian presence in the region “more overt.” In response to Putin’s recognition of the Donetsk and Luha... read more

Primacy Or World Order
In the second half of the 1970s, the task for those not busy flinching from the U.S. defeat in Vietnam was to understand why America failed in Indochina and the implications of this failure—how, notably, America should conduct itself among what then came to 170 sovereign nations. We got it wrong, the honest among us said. Now what do we do? I have always counted those years an exceptional passage in the American story. Self-examination of that kind does not come often to our republic. The only other such interim I can recall, a much briefer break from our incessantly shrill triump... read more

Top Selling Pasta Company Quietly Announces Introduction of GMO Soy Based Meat Substitutes in Its Products
One of the best ways to avoid genetically engineered ingredients in the food you consume is to buy from overseas companies based out of Europe, as these companies are statistically far likelier to use non-GMO ingredients. That’s because GMOs, or genetically modified organisms and ingredients, are banned throughout many European countries for cultivation, with a few minor exceptions such as the recent growing of one type of Monsanto lab engineered corn in Spain. But now, GMO free advocates are sharing their frustration after it was announced that one of America’s best selling... read more

“One can fight evil but against stupidity one is helpless… I have accepted the fact, hard as it may be, that human beings are inclined to behave in ways that would make animals blush.

The animal makes no excuse for killing his prey; the human animal, on the other hand, can invoke God’s blessing when massacring his fellow men.

Inside Atlanta’s sprawling South River Forest, city officials are moving forward with plans to raze dozens of acres of woodlands to build a $90 million police training facility that locals are calling “Cop City.” In response, Defend the Atlanta Forest activists who call themselves “forest defenders” have begun occupying the woods in an attempt to physically halt the facility’s construction—sabotaging construction vehicles and building barricades around a police-free autonomous zone that serves as both a living space and staging ground for the resistance effort. The forest defender... read more

How Courts Can Protect Democracy From Abuse of Emergency Powers
Inside the United States Supreme Court. (Phil Roeder, https://flic.kr/p/9sMTg8; CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) Elected leaders establishing autocracies often use emergencies, real or imagined, to justify measures that undermine democracy. Justice Robert Jackson’s opinion in the Youngstown case, after discussing the then-recent experience of Hitler using emergency powers to subjugate democracy in Nazi Germany, said that “emergency powers ... tend to kindle emergencies,” which provide “a ready pretext for usurpation.” The Supreme Court has not taken concer... read more

When Newton Minow gave a speech...
*TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2022* *...Gilligan's Island responded:* Long ago and far away, Newton Minow gave a famous speech. He spoke on May 9, 1961. He was delivering his first major address since the newly elected President Kennedy made him head of the FCC. At that time, a basic view was widely held, at least within certain cultural groups. We refer to the widespread belief that American popular culture tended to possibly be a bit dumb. Needless to say, the question of whether something is dumb always involves matters of judgment. Also, issues of courtesy may arise when popular en... read more

* I thought my silence was caused by having nothing to say.* I was wrong. It was more about having *too much* to say. My apologies to all my faithful readers for the long silence. And to all those who have emailed me without a response, I will correct that over the next few days. For many years, I had certain expectations of the manner in which civilized people ought to act. It was something I believed. Of course, that would mean realizing the veneer of being civilized was very thin on many people. I didn't. I also believed there were bad people, aka as evil people, in the wor... read more

He draws attention to many of those who were once *outraged* at president Trump clearing BLM protesters from Lafayette Square who are now the same people *applauding* Canadian PM Trudeau invoking never-before-used emergency powers to clear 'Freedom Convoy' protesters from Ottawa's Parliament Hill.

Should Iran Bet Its Future on Russia?
*Mohammad Javad Mousavizadeh* *Iran Russia, Middle East* Officials believe that Russia is a reliable friend of Iran, but public opinion remains divided. After the Soviet Union fell in 1991, Iran and Russia’s relationship has had its ups and downs. During the Iran-Iraq war, for example, Russia armed the Iraqis against Iran, but, over time, their relations improved, and, today, the two are strategically aligned in opposition to the United States. Presently, most Iranian officials think that the West block is diminishing in power, and that the East is rising in influence. Thus, desp... read more

Time to Turn the Tables on Vladimir Putin
*Dov S. Zakheim* *Ukraine Crisis, Europe* Washington fears that too deep involvement on the ground could bring on a war with Russia. Why should Putin not have the same fear? For years, Vladimir Putin’s detractors have been calling him a mere tactician, rather than the strategist that he is. How wrong they have been. He has positioned Russia in the eastern Mediterranean to an unprecedented degree. Russia now has a long-term lease on a Syrian airbase, Khmeimim, in addition to a new lease on the Tartus naval base, from which the Soviet Navy operated during the Cold War. He has maint... read more

*Trevor Filseth* *Mali, Africa* The political and economic turmoil within Mali has strained the country’s relationship with France. The military-dominated parliament of Mali approved on Monday a timetable for a democratic transition, allowing the military government of Colonel Assimi Goita to continue ruling the country for up to five more years. The legislature also declared that the current president, who officially serves in an interim capacity, would not be allowed to stand for a democratic election at that time—in theory preventing Goita from running for office.
