The infrastructure bill is putting money in the wrong places

The infrastructure bill is putting money in the wrong places. Biden has proposed a policy that, by some estimates, would allocate $165 billion for public transit (including urban rail — subways, light rail, and commuter rail) against only $115 billion to fix and modernize roads and bridges. Transit, which accounts for about 1 percent of overall urban and rural ground transportation, would receive nearly 60 percent of the money.

One of the most elementary lessons of economics is that incentives matter. You’d hardly think this needs demonstrating, but apparently even the Wall Street Journal‘s news pages struggle with basic economics. Today the Journal reports that—lo and behold!—job growth is rising faster in states that have ended lavish unemployment bonus payments.

The president of the Champlain South Towers condo association told residents in April their building was in desperate disrepair and urged them to pay the $15 million in assessments needed to fix structural problems, in a letter reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Paul the Apostle made four major missionary journeys around the ancient Mediterranean world sharing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who he claimed to have seen and talked to during that famous encounter on the road to Damascus a year or so after the crucifixion. In the decades thereafter in the course of his travels, Paul was in constant danger, from man, beast and the elements. And yet he kept going, overcoming every obstacle and being the main missionary catalyst of a spiritual movement that literally changed the world. Would You Suffer Years of Extreme Pain, Hardship For A Lie?

President Joe Biden delivered an infamous gun control speech last week, claiming that Americans “need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons” if they want to restrain government tyranny. Yet he also used a flat-out lie to justify his gun control agenda — a lie that led even The Washington Post to deliver Biden a scathing rebuke. The Washington Post‘s Glenn Kessler fact-checked this statement, giving Biden a whopping Four Pinocchios.

Biden at the G7 conference. Our president is not fit for the world stage. He can’t handle basic duties and clearly has no idea what he’s talking about at any given moment. This is a senile old man who needs to be sitting in a rocking chair, staring at a pasture for the last several years of his life, not leading the supposed most powerful nation on earth.

The IRS is leaking tax returns again. Here's a link to an article on how little the richest folk pay in taxes. The tone is indignant of course, but the writers agree that evading taxes by legal means is legal, as did the Supreme Court. The fundamental problem is that these people are rich because their wealth is tied up in stock, which is not taxed until sold. The IRS is allegedly investigating the illegal release of the tax returns.

Problems with the voting machines

Windham, New Hampshire, a town of 14,853 people, has long been a stalwart Republican stronghold in an otherwise Democrat state.  As was the case throughout New Hampshire, it relied on AccuVote machines to collect and tally its 2020 votes. When the election in Windham ended, Kristi St. Laurent, the Democrat candidate, had lost by only 24 votes.  With that close a margin, she naturally demanded a hand recount. The hand recount revealed something peculiar: St. Laurent hadn't lost by 24 votes; she'd lost by 420 votes. Something seems to be wrong with the machines.

Why would Keyshawn Johnson, as the Associated Press reported earlier this week, walk off the set of his national radio show in apparent shock and disgust at Tim Tebow signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a backup tight end? Why would ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith and many other media figures rail against “White privilege!” when Urban Meyer, Tebow’s college coach with the Florida Gators, signed Tebow to play on his hometown NFL team? Why does there seem to be so many people rooting against Tebow — one of the most caring, compassionate, benevolent, big-hearted, philanthropic, altruistic role models in the history of sports?

Peggy Noon has a column on the Secret Service in the Wall St. Journal. Here's a fun excerpt:

Their primary job: to keep the president safe and if necessary take a bullet for him. That is literally what agent Tim McCarthy did during the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981. There too was agent Jerry Parr, who bundled the seemingly unhurt Reagan into the car and, after seeing pinkish, oxygenated blood on his mouth, countermanded an order and got him straight to the emergency room. When Parr was a kid he saw a 1939 movie, “Code of the Secret Service,” which made him want to be an agent. The central character, fearless agent Brass Bancroft, was played by Ronald Reagan, whose life Parr saved some four decades later. Life is full of strange, unseen circularities.

Biden, well known plagarizer, used a Ronald Reagan joke speaking at the Coast Guard commencement. Of course he didn't get it right, which suggests he didn't get the joke.

The origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?

If the case that SARS2 originated in a lab is so substantial, why isn’t this more widely known? As may now be obvious, there are many people who have reason not to talk about it. The list is led, of course, by the Chinese authorities. But virologists in the United States and Europe have no great interest in igniting a public debate about the gain-of-function experiments that their community has been pursuing for years.

A leaked State Department memo revealed US embassies were encouraged to show support for Black Lives Matter on the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's death. The seven-page document obtained by Human Events News gave authorization to 'diplomatic and consular posts' to fly the organization's flag and use its name in messages and speeches. 

The Pentagon has created a working group to cull "extremists" out of the military. To head that group, they've hired a radical named Bishop Garrison who is on record as saying that anyone who voted for Trump is just such an extremist (and racist and misogynist to boot).
