Let me be the first to admit I did a crappy job of collecting links yesterday. In my defense, I was busy all day, and too tired when I got home.
Sundance hosts Sunday Talks: Secretary Scott Bessent Discusses Inflation and “Affordability.” Dave Foster at the Chicago Boyz takes on “Affordability.” "But what IS affordability, exactly?" From Forbes The Invisible Job Crisis: America's Third-Largest Employer Is Hemorrhaging Talent "Nonprofit organizations and the social sector at-large is America’s third-largest employer at 10% of the workforce, comprising 5.2% of GDP and contributing $1.4 trillion to the economy. Nearly a year into federal budget cuts eliminating social safety net programs, closure of USAID and the downstream impact of philanthropy quietly pulling back funding – the sector faces a gathering storm." The View From North Central Idaho is that we are Rolling the Economic Dice. "Furthermore, I posit that no one will ever be able to accurately model the economy. I make this claim because the existence of an accurate model will itself be the addition of still another variable that the model must take into account. This addition of another variable disrupts the model." A pretty good restatement of Fritz's Economic Uncertainty Principle. Betsey McCaughey at Hat Hair explains How to End Obamacare and Improve Coverage. Amy Curtis at TownHall thinks a Damning Watchdog Report Reveals 'Large-Scale Systemic Failures' Leading to Obamacare Subsidy Fraud. It wasn't a bug, it was a feature.
Scott McLallen at TownHall notices Democratic Lawmakers Big Mad That Trump Admin Is Fighting Narco-Terrorists. Eddie Scarry at Da Fed, Democrats Side With Venezuelan Narco-Terrorists Over Americans. It's a miracle how Trump does this. NYPO opines President Trump is a champion in the fight for ‘Venezuelan freedom.’ Don Surber sees Trump Winning a Venezuelan war without a fight "Paying off Maduro could save lives, save money and solve the Ukraine problem." Trump much prefers to use economic power before military power.
Sundance sees that Following Three Days of Talks with U.S, Team Zelenskyy Heads to London for Meeting With “Coalition of the Willing.” Willing to do what? "Zelenskyy Inc, Macron, Starmer and Merz do not want to end the proxy fight against Russia. Together with the EU leadership of NATO, the coalition of the willing want to retain the conflict. However, the problem for the four leaders is that without strong USA support, the citizens of their EU countries will rise up against them." Cernovich @Cernovich, "Why are they telling the truth now? That’s the obvious question." Quote Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald, "In the least surprising revelation ever, the NYT -- which has vocally and vehemently championed Zelensky and US financing of the war in Ukraine -- documents how Zelensky and his top aides facilitated the stealing of billions in "aid":" Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee, "Europe needs to decide whether it’s America’s friend or America’s foe Europe can’t have it both ways This man speaks truth" Quote Christopher Landau @DeputySecState, "My recent trip to Brussels for the @NATO Ministerial meeting left me with one overriding impression: the US has long failed to address the glaring inconsistency between its relations with NATO and the EU. These are almost all the same countries in both organizations. When these countries wear their NATO hats, they insist that Transatlantic cooperation is the cornerstone of our mutual security. But when these countries wear their EU hats, they pursue all sorts of agendas that are often utterly adverse to US interests and security. . . . " From Althouse, "It amounts to an updated Monroe Doctrine, the 1823 declaration telling Europe to look after itself and leave the US to manage the Americas." "From "Europe facing ‘civilisational erasure’, warns Trump/A new US security plan warns European allies may falter in Nato, urging nationalist renewal as Washington positions itself between the continent and Moscow" (London Times)." At TCW, My TCW week in review: Thank God for Donald Trump.
TownHall's Derek Hunter thinks President Trump Is Right About Tim Walz. I don't think he's actually retarded, he just has stupid ideas deeply embedded in his mind. Nick Arama at RedState sees Bessent Brings the Fire on the MN Fraud Scandal, Omar Gives Bad Answers to Good Questions. Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47, "@SecScottBessent on the massive Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota: "When you come to this country, you gotta learn which side of the road to drive on, you gotta learn to stop at the stop signs, and you gotta learn not to defraud the American people." NYPo hears lhan Omar compare Stephen Miller, who is Jewish, to Nazis in Germany as she lashes out against Somali immigrant crackdown. WaEx realizes Not all immigrants are equal. Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry @pegobry_en, "I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that a bunch of Swedes transported themselves to a different continent 150 years ago, chose to move to the coldest bit, and then, independently of their cousins across the pond and in perfect synchronicity - Built a high-trust high-quality of life but culturally barren socialist utopia - Then suddenly decided to commit collective suicide via the mass importation of third world foreigners, *specifically Somalian*" Christian Heiens @ChristianHeiens, "I love how the Third World caucus of the Democratic Party are Gay Race Communists here in the US, but they’re blood and soil nationalists in their home country." Quote jim Njue @jimNjue_ "“Ethiopia and Kenya stole our Land. We Must work together to liberate our occupied territories. Somalia is for Somalis Only” -Ilhan Omar" At NYPo, Michael Goodwin is quite upset by How NY followed Biden’s, Dems’ charge in harboring illegal immigrant criminals. Amy Curtis again want you to Guess How Many Democrats Voted Against Protecting Our Schools From Chinese Influence. Rep. Keith Self @RepKeithSelf, "The House just passed the PROTECT Our Kids Act—legislation that combats foreign interference by prohibiting federal education funds from being given to any school that receives CCP funding. 164 House Democrats voted against it. Apparently, they want CCP money in our schools. Disturbing." From the Free Bacon, 'No US Citizens': Meet the IT Firms Discriminating Against Americans.
Shooting News Week calls it a Course Correction: The DOJ Has Come a Long Way Since President Tapioca Left Office. Sundance host Megyn Kelly, Director Kash Patel Explains How the FBI Caught the J6 Pipe Bomb Suspect. Shipwreckedcrew thinks DOJ Should Begin A Criminal Investigation Of The Democrat Members Of Congress Appearing on Video To Undermine The Military Chain-Of-Command. "18 U.S.C. Sec. 2387 makes it illegal to advise, counsel or in any manner cause insubordination or refusal of duty by any member of the military." TownHall's Kurt Schlichter says Threatening to Prosecute Your Opponents When They Give Up Power Is a Bad Idea. Democrats are essentially threating the military for following Trump's orders. PJM's Stephen Kruiser is not surprised a New Member of Congress Shocked to Find She Has to Obey the Law. SFK @stephenkruiser, "Brand new member of Congress thinks she's above the law. Useless commie, just like her dad was. Also, this is probably the most walking she's done in one day since the 3rd grade." Quote Rep. Adelita Grijalva @Rep_Grijalva, "If federal agents are brazen enough to fire pellets directly at a Member of Congress, imagine how they behave when encountering defenseless members of our community. It’s time for Congress to rein in this rogue agency NOW." "Yes, I snuck in a fat dig there. This was a pathetic publicity stunt, of course."
At Althouse, "As a young staff member in the Reagan administration, John G. Roberts Jr. was part of a group of lawyers who pushed for more White House control over independent government agencies." "The 'time may be ripe to reconsider the existence of such entities, and take action to bring them back within the executive branch,' the future chief justice of the United States advised the White House counsel in a 1983 memo. Independent agencies, he wrote, were a 'Constitutional anomaly.' Once he ascended to the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Roberts joined other conservatives on the bench in a series of rulings that have chipped away at Congress’s power to constrain the president’s authority to fire independent regulators...." From "Conservative Project at Supreme Court Meets Trump’s Push to Oust Officials/President Trump has repeatedly ousted leaders of independent agencies despite federal laws meant to shield those regulators from politics" (NYT). The case — to be argued tomorrow — is Trump v. Slaughter." At WUWT, Supreme Court should not let climate lawfare set US energy policy. Leslie Eastman at LI notes that After Media Hyped ‘Global Warming’ for Years, NYT Admits Defeat in ‘Information War’ "We won the “Information War” because we offered real scientific analysis based on data…not political narratives marketed as “science.”"
From Quotulatiousness Censorship and “cancel culture” are symptoms of a cultural sickness. Euro Con is against Against Muzzling the Right. Althouse, "The famous party slogan in 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' was 'Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.'" "Writes Steven Pinker, in "1984 revisited: George Orwell would be relieved at how we’ve done/It’s common to suggest the great dystopian novel was full of warnings that have largely come true. But the evidence shows otherwise" (London Times)."
