  • [The old one is full, and this one will probably invite a lot on tonight's POTUS' SOTUS.  I plan to post a separate SOTUS entry in due course, and encourage you to bridge your conversation threads to the comment stream of that entry, for all the obvious reasons.  gjr]

  • Russ Steele Taking a lesson from the progressives who have taken over the American education system, spending more time on indoctrination than teaching, China has joined the propaganda brigade. From Politico: Last year, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte made an announcement to great fanfare: The university would soon open a branch of the…

  • George Rebane Here are a couple of items that are guaranteed to call out the Collectivist Cricket Corps.
