Democrats in New York are trying to gerrymander the GOP out of the NY contingent in the US House of Representatives. I'm sure this sort of gerrymandering is fine with our leftist friends. It certainly isn't being reported by their allies in the news.
OK. This isn't new. But it is still relevant to the current political conflicts raging throughout the west. University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds wrote an essay on the current class war. It isn't poor workers vs. rich capitalists. It is working-class vs. ruling class. The ruling class, the people we employ to run the government, expect our unquestioning compliance to their petty dictates. The working class expects their unquestioning compliance with our rules as indicated in the Constitution.
It looks like Enis Kantor Freedom is about to get bounced from the NBA. He was recently part of a trade deal that left him with the Houston Rockets. They fired him. Mr. Freedom has been a powerful voice against authoritarian governments such as the one in his home nation of Turkey as well as the Chinese Communist Party with their pogram against the Uighurs. He appears to have a few good NBA-level playing years in him. It would be a pity if the CCP was able to influence the hiring decisions made by the American NBA. At least one assumes that the N in NBA stands for "National" and that the nation in question is the USA.
Michele Tafoya is leaving her position with NBC Sports. She has been a feature on the football sideline for decades. I was surprised to learn that she is leaving sports broadcasting for political projects. Turns out that she is a libertarian-leaning Conservative; which is how your humble interlocutor describes himself from time to time. We wish her good fortune in the coming years.
Saw this elsewhere. Covers the issue well enough.
The intolerance on the part of those supporting vax and mask mandates is astounding. Wrecking careers. Destroying businesses. All in pursuit of one end - You Will Comply.
A retiring Marine Corps Lieutenant General, Gregory Newbold, has some thoughts to share about Critical Military Theory; a doctrine that has fallen out of favor with our civilian and military leadership.
People have been having a time tearing into Canadian PM Justin Trudeau over his invocation of emergency powers. I found video of a Conservative Party MP pointing out the change in Mr. Trudeau's position about trusting the people to be interesting as there are a couple of people in the background who appear to be some flavor of POC. They stand and applaud enthusiastically when MP Melissa Lantsman is done asking her question of Mr. Trudeau. One may be a Sikh. I'm not sure. Ever the classy leader, Mr. Trudeau immediately "re-frames" the situation as the Conservative Party is standing with those that wave the swastika. One small issue. Apparently MP Lantsman is Jewish. Hard to see her siding with Nazis on anything. Perhaps Mr. Trudeau's rampant insulting of his countrymen and women is a diversion from his government's oppressive policies? That seems to be the bulk of the political playbook from the left these days.
