The Weaponization of Electricity

John Hinderaker:

The mark of a developed country is reliable, affordable energy. Despite this undeniable fact, the Biden administration and what Robert Bryce calls the anti-industry industry are rushing pell-mell to destabilize our electric grid, while charging Americans more and more for less and less electricity. This impoverishment of ordinary Americans is not an unfortunate by-product of liberal energy policies. Rather, it is the central goal of those policies.
Also,
The grid is becoming increasingly fragile because of our growing dependence on energy sources that usually don’t show up to work. So far, we still have enough reliable energy to keep the lights on almost all of the time. But as coal, nuclear and even natural gas plants are retired, that will no longer be true.

 

Importing Barbarism

David Strom:

Minneapolis Democrats live in an alternate universe where they think that importing vast numbers of people who don’t share our liberal values will work out just fine. And it has, so far, for them. But revolutions always eat their own in the end, and that process is well along that path at least here in Minneapolis.

And,

It’s not quite working out that way in the long run, and the result is a city in what may be a terminal decline. This has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with the fact that the people the Democrats are recruiting don’t just come from the third world, but are of the third world. African Americans, the more traditional supporters of the Democrat Party, aren’t on board with the decline of the city. They just don’t matter much anymore to the Democrats, who have decided that immigrants from the third world are a richer political vein to mine.

Ilhan Omar’s father was a brutal Marxist army colonel who was high up in the genocidal regime of Somalia before it was overthrown. She portrays him as a “teacher,” but he was integral to Mohamed Siad Barre’s fight against the rebellion that displaced him. She remains a Marxist and represents my state in Congress due to the DFL latching on to her. And she is the leader of what amounts to an organized crime ring.

But since she wears a hijab and pretends to be a devout Muslim, not a Marxist gang leader, she is untouchable. She is “diverse,” and “diversity is our strength.”

 

The Default Lie

John Hinderaker:

If the government runs short of money, it must, and will, continue to pay interest on the debt. New debt can be issued as existing bonds mature; that does not add to the total debt. The effect will not be a default. Rather, the result will be, for example, that diversity consultants will have to wait a while to be paid.

 

Queer Math Camp = Queer Camp

David Strom:

Only two sentences into the description and you can see how steeped this class is in critical theory and total bullsh!t. What, pray tell, do LGBTQ+ people know about math that others don’t? What “rich fund of knowledge” is being “tapped into?” Is there some special queer math witchcraft about which nobody has ever heard?

Were Newton and Leibniz secret gay lovers when they “independently” invented calculus?!

And how, exactly, are alphabet identities and mathematical identities “interconnected?” Explain, please.
