SKYPE? Please, no.
WILL THE OAK ISLAND MONEY PIT MYSTERY every be solved?

This is a PJ Media 'behind the paywall' post, but if you happen to be (or want to be) a VIP member, it's a very good discussion.
SCREW YOU, WE'RE MEETING ANYWAY: Trump's 1776 Commission meeting despite Biden abolition.
THE GOOD NEWS: The founder of the 1619 Project loses tenure at the University of North Carolina. The bad news is that she will be allowed to teach there for at least five years before another tenure review.
TO BEAT WOKE TYRANTS we must treat them like the monsters they are.
A POLICEMAN'S LOT is not a happy one. "God willing, that will change when sanity is resurrected in our country."
NOTHING SAYS “SCIENTIFIC INTEGRITY” like a public indoctrination program.

As a Life Senior Member of the IEEE I have sadly watched it degrade from a fine professional organization when I first joined in the mid-60's to a cesspit of intersectional wokeness today. Read the comments at Instapundit first -- you'll find them uniformly negative. This one, from commenter 'varifrank', I found particularly apropos:

BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DISPLAY THEIR 'VIRTUE' ANY MORE WITHOUT SHOWING THEY'RE COMPLETE IDIOTS. The COVID Cult of Caution embraces mask wearing for everyone despite evidence it isn't necessary.

I would suggest not saying that to people who live and (used to) work in my neck of the woods.
THE FOUR FREEDOMS are under assault.

I'm just barely old enough to remember Norman Rockwell and the Saturday Evening Post but looking back, and despite all the technological marvels of the last 80 years, those were indeed the 'good old days'.
THE DIPLOMAD RETURNS to note that the Biden administration can be described in these two words: 'tragic' and 'absurd'.

It would be an enthralling drama if we weren't on stage as well....
PHOTO OF THE YEAR: Israel's Iron Dome missile defense in action.

For those of you unfamiliar with missile defense, the interceptors are on the left, and the swirling pattern is the defending missiles bleeding off excess energy in order to match the trajectories of the attacking Hamas missiles.
