MY DECISION TO LEAVE ACADEMIA: What do you do when your passion and career trajectory have been infected with amorality?
KURT SCHLICHTER writes on what's next if Trump wins in November:
Between now and Trump's inauguration.

The first 100 days.
I'm looking forward to it.
AND THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT: Nearly half of all US governors urge drastic change for global health organization before new pandemic hits.

A global Fauci? You gotta be freakin' kidding!
HUNDREDS OF HUGE STARS DISAPPEARED FROM THE SKY. We may finally know why.

Arthur C. Clarke already told us.
JOE BIDEN COULD BOW OUT by feigning nobility. Here's how:
if Hunter is found guilty [in his gun trial], probably in September, he likely be sentenced to time in federal prison.

Would Joe make the family bag man, the son he loves, go to prison?

Here's the answer that would please everyone. Assuming Hunter's cases really go to trial — a big if [no, the gun trial has begun] — Joe would pardon Hunter, who then wouldn't go to prison, and since that pardon would be a presidential abuse of power, Joe would take the political 'L' and resign. It would be a win-win.
Unfortunately he's incapable of even feigning nobility.
ARGENTINA'S chainsaw revolution is underway. Instapundit notes "You’ve got to watch out for those wannabe fascists who [checking notes] want to dramatically shrink government and leave voters alone!"
THIS COULD WILL GET INTERESTING: Irrestible force to meet immoveable object.
THERE ARE PLENTY TO CHOOSE FROM: Iran confirms they are interviewing several new turban-wearing bearded genocidal psychopaths to replace deceased President.

WWII VETERAN ON THE STATE OF AMERICA TODAY: "I feel like a foreigner in my own country and I don't like it".

So do I.
ALL THE RAGE: Victor Davis Hanson shows the Left their face in the mirror.
In regard to the authors’ unwarranted self-regard and cluelessness about the world beyond their comprehension, rarely has the poet Horace’s putdown in his Satires seemed more appropriate: Quid rides? Mutato nomine de te fabula narratur. — “Why do you laugh? Change only the name, and the story applies to yourself.”
It's long, but exquisitely written and devastating to the Leftist hubris. Nemesis awaits.

Take the time and read it all.
TOO MANY: How many people will have to die before we get rid of DEI?
HEH: An ode to manual transmissions (and quill pens).
And yes, it is a millennial anti-theft device....
TURN ON THE LIGHTS and watch the roaches scatter.

Stomp on as many as you can....
I PREFER TO HAVE THEM HURT PHYSICALLY but I'll settle for financial pain. Will the anti-semites pay?
NO WORRIES, MATE: Only the living donate money; the cemeteries only donate votes.
YES, AND IT MUST INCLUDE JAIL TIME: Will Democrats pay a price for their cynical lawfare strategy?
HE BELIEVES IT, AND HE'S RIGHT: Americans with private insurance may pay more than Medicare patients.

As an over-65er, all you need to do is look at your monthly Medicare summary to see the disparity between what physicians/hospitals charge and what Medicare pays. It's astonishing.
NOTHING, WHEN DEMOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE: What does law have to do with justice?
INTERESTING: The backdoor to control the internet.

And frightening, when you realize how much power there is in your PC, laptop, tablet, and cell phone that you can't see.
MAYBE SOLAR AIN'T THAT GREAT: Solar's been taking a beating lately.

For those reading the whole article -- and it's longer than usual -- then HRR = heat release rate and PV = photovoltaic (so you won't have to look them up as I did).
AN ESSAY ON THE HOUSING CRISIS: Roofs, not ceilings.

Read it all. Then, for a layman's explanation, read -- if you can find it -- 'A Bathroom of Her Own' in Robert Heinlein's Expanded Universe (1980).
