It could be worse. The motto for the Biden presidency must be "Our incompetence is our diversity." You noted, dear reader, that defrocked chekist Nina Jankowicz managed to validate Undeniable Truth of Life No. 24 in her lament about why her fifteen minutes of fame ended so badly, didn't you? Sorry, when you make such a public fool of yourself, reality has a steep grading curve.
1. So mote it be. "It’s our hope that the only thing that 'may be ending' is the era of leftist economic and social policies that have brought us to this sorry state."
3. When bourgeois norms go missing? "Sometimes the maintenance of civic comity requires a touch of restraint."
4. Failure theater. " If every single issue is worthy of blowing [the Senate filibuster] up over, then onlookers are going to get the hint that the Democrats simply don’t care about our system of government and will do anything to get their way." Exactly.
5. It's posturing. "From abortion to school shutdowns to runaway inflation to baby-food shortages, seemingly everything the Dems do these days has an adverse effect on children." Look at their leadership. Look at their base.
6. Politics divides. "Our society would be healthier if Americans shared more common ground, or if journalists operating in the right- and left-wing echo chambers had more respect for those with a different worldview."
7. Bastiat got run over by a Mustang. "Why are highways the one exception to the kind of top-down government action that normally offends libertarian sensibilities?"
8. Stop the futility. "[O]ur leaders ought to be doing their best to bring [Putin's] war to an end before it goes nuclear."
9. In case you missed it the first time, a review. "'Freedom,' like 'our democracy,' means the Democrats getting their way."
10. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. "Our city and our state have become a hotbed for producing basketball talent." A lot can change in fifty years. Kevon Looney got his number retired and is in the mix for another ring, without a state championship. The kids who got their names on a state championship banner have a collective zero minutes in the professional game.
11. Mob rule? Or a monarchy? "While it might fit on a bumper sticker or a t-shirt, 'democratic institutions won’t save us' isn’t really a very good message, particularly if you’re in the process of seeking a law degree. Also, even if you believe that unsavory maxim, please enlighten us as to what the alternative to democratic institutions might be?"
12. An endorsement from der Giftzwerg? "If Fauci says he’ll bail if Trump comes back, that’s all the more reason to vote for Trump, in my opinion."
