Biden's dumpster fire 'State of the Union'
*Washington Examiner:* *Biden condemns Putin and swipes at Trump in State of the Union address* In a warning to Democrats, Sen. Joe Manchin sat with Republicans for the speech. That Biden is taking swipes at Trump also indicates his recognition of how much more popular Trump is than Biden is at this point. Meanwhile, the Republican rebuttal by Gov. Kim Reynolds focused on Biden's failures at home and abroad. ... “The disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal did more than cost American lives; it betrayed our allies and emboldened our enemies,” she said. “North Korea is testing missile... read more
Modern Man and the Wisdom of Gilgamesh
One of the teachings of the *Epic of Gilgamesh*, the ancient Mesopotamian (Sumerian) epic dated to 2100 BC, is that the success of a hero is not measured by the feats that he performs—the lands he conquers, the monsters he slays, the mysteries he solves, and the wealth he distributes among his people—but by the wisdom that he accumulates during the course of his life. It seems that modern man has forgotten this important teaching. The heroes (the most powerful and wealthy) of our age are technocratic and dogmatic; they are lacking in wisdom; they are in awe of their worldly feats; th... read more

They Have Short Memories
Vladimir Putin seeks to impose his will on Ukraine. Acting on his wish will lead inevitably to guerrilla warfare. Adnan R. Khan writes: As the fighting moves into Kyiv, and other major cities like Kharkiv, the war is expected to shift gears. Urban warfare is the bane of any conventional army. No proven doctrine exists to tackle the complexities of fighting a war in the maze of city streets, where the local population is motivated to resist. And Ukrainians are deeply motivated—both by a president who has risen to the challenge of wartime leader and an international community that h... read more

Nenner says, “The war cycle is such that there is great danger for a huge war. What I have been writing about is the big danger that Russia, Iran and China will get together.

Supreme Court reviews EPA power grab
Victoria Taft: ... In 2019, the Trump administration repealed the Clean Power Plan and installed another policy, the Affordable Clean Energy Rule (ACE), that gave states more latitude in setting power plant and greenhouse gas standards. Indeed, under the Trump Administration policies and market forces, the original Clean Power Plan emissions standards were already being met. But the deep state moved into action.
