"Sen. Lisa Murkowski's write-in candidacy is being funded by $100,000 contributions from a handful of Alaska corporations that have been handsomely subsidized by the federal government.

"A McGavock High algebra teacher's wild-eyed blow-up at his unruly class, captured on a cell phone, drew thousands of YouTube views and prompted a Facebook page supporting him.
But while that meltdown was extreme, Metro Nashville educators say his laughing, talking, mocking class isn't unusual; even students who curse their teachers escape punishment."

Printing money to pay debts will be the “pretended payment” Adam Smith warned against in his final chapter of The Wealth of Nations."

"My general thesis is that Islamism is a spiritual pathology based on a deformed theology that has produced a dysfunctional culture.
I know this is a mouthful, and I take some 200 pages to explain it.
In short, the source of the problem is a profound misconception as to who God is."

'Gas prices will have to soar above $10 per gallon to make such consumer EVs economical even at the lower battery costs.'"
Well, if $10/gal gasoline is what it takes to keep democrat unions and leftist greeniacs happy, what do you think democrat politicians will make happen if they can?

A savage display of conservative intellectual firepower
NUGENT BOOK REVIEW: A savage display of conservative intellectual firepower - Washington Times
"While relaxing in my deer blind waiting to put an arrow through the pump station of an ultra-alert Texas whitetail deer, I read Mr. Savage's new book.
Instead of my predator eyes scanning the Texas brush for the slightest hint of movement, I found myself focused instead on Mr. Savage's dead-eye truth and common-sense words.
This may have been the very first time in my hunting life that my predator attention was focused completely on something other than grocery shopping for a whitetail deer."

Merkel: German multiculturalism 'utterly failed'
My Way News - Merkel: German multiculturalism 'utterly failed'
"Chancellor Angela Merkel's declaration that Germany's attempts to build a multicultural society had 'utterly failed' is feeding a growing debate over how to deal with the millions of foreigners who call the country home.
Merkel told a meeting of young members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union that while immigrants are welcome in Germany, they must learn the language and accept the country's cultural norms - sounding a note heard increasingly across Europe as it battles an economic slump and worries about homegrown terrorism."

Over the last decade in California, spending on state employees' compensation rose nearly three times faster than state revenues.
This has squeezed resources for programs, such as higher education and job training, that benefit private-sector workers.
This year, for the first time ever, our state was forced to spend more on retirement costs ($6.5 billion) than on higher education.'"
