China accused of benefiting from Covid
Breitbart: Friday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson opened his program by explaining how COVID-19 changed the balance of power in the world forever. According to the FNC host, the primary beneficiary was China, a nation that continues to be not held accountable for the pandemic. *Transcript as follows:* CARLSON: A look back for a moment, the coronavirus pandemic, that would be the virus itself, and our government’s response to it turns out to have been the single most destructive event to take place in the United States in our lifetime — so destructive that it’s going to be many yea... read more

Brits call BS on Russian Ukraine claims
Telegraph: The British Ministry of Defence has compared the latest Russian vehicles to be deployed to tractors as it slapped down Vladimir Putin's claim he has “not even started” its efforts in Ukraine. Russia's army is running out of decent kit and is deploying its reserve infantry in outdated personnel carriers, an intelligence update published on Saturday stated. It came two days after Vladimir Putin claimed Russia “by and large hasn’t started anything serious yet”. His remarks came amid reports Russia was training new forces to send to Ukraine where its troops are regroupin... read more

Socialists’ Claims About Capitalism
Capitalism makes people compete for scarce resources. People compete for scarce resources because scarce resources are, well…, scarce. Free markets enable people to compete for resources peacefully. Prior to capitalism, people dealt with scarcity largely through conquest, and enslavement. Free trade has eliminated any excuse for conquest. As Adam Smith observed in The Wealth of […] The post Socialists’ Claims About Capitalism appeared first on Econlib. read more

The crack pot, crack pipe president of Joe Biden
Daily Caller: A “harm reduction” clinic that received grant funding from President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is distributing crack pipes to addicts in New York City, the Daily Caller confirmed Wednesday. New York Harm Reduction Educators (NYHRE), a part of OnPointNYC, was awarded nearly $400,000 in grant money from the Biden administration in May to further its services for drug addicts, government records show. Biden officials denied reports that the grant money could fund distribution of crack pipes, but a visit to NYHRE’s office revealed that th... read more

The regrets of Biden voters
Fox News: Three people – a Black man, a trans woman and a homeless mother – all regret voting for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, each with unique reasoning. "I feel like I've been lied to by the media telling us Biden is the answer to all the country's problems," Mikaela Stekly told Fox News. "That's what I saw him as when I voted for him." "And they made [former President] Trump kind of the bad guy in the media, but things were a lot better when he was president," Stekly, a homeless single mother who blamed the president for her financial struggles, continued.

Biden's border bungle impacts Arizona
*Washington Post:* Across southern Arizona, a full range of border woes Arizona spans more than 370 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, and perhaps no other state better encapsulates the challenges facing U.S officials trying to manage illegal entries. Texas is also dealing with the impact of Biden's blatant refusal to enforce US immigration laws. Biden's border disaster has mainly impacted these two states. The border fence in California appears to be functional. New Mexico border is mostly desert and its state's economy is not as much of a draw. Biden's failure to enforce the ... read more

Jan. 6 show trial not working as planned
Roger Kimball: ... People often say that Trump lives “rent-free” in his opponents’ minds. This is true. But he has some impressive waterfront property in the minds of some of his supporters as well. They supported Trump in 2016. They say, many of them (most of them if truth be told), that they will support him again in 2024 if he is the candidate. But deep down they don’t want him to run.

Biden attempts to repeat mistakes of education response to pandemic
Washington Examiner Editorial: Federal, state, and local governments made a lot of mistakes while trying to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. But the most damaging error appears to be their decision to shut down public schools and move to remote, instead of in-person, learning. Now that they are trying to clean up the mess they made, the Biden administration wants to repeat the same mistakes all over again.

2019 Election as the Third Battle of Panipat
In January 2019, Amit Shah launched the BJP’s election campaign by drawing an analogy with the third battle of Panipat (1761). Speaking to party cadres, he said: “2019 will be a decisive contest like the third battle of Panipat. Marathas had won over 131 battles but lost in Panipat against the forces of Ahamd Shah Abdali. Maratha defeat led to over 200 years of colonial slavery.” He urged Indians not to make a similar mistake again.
