A series of revealing texts and tweets by Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced CEO of FTX, the once high-flying but now belly-up crypto exchange, had the following to say about his image as a do-gooder: it is a “dumb game we woke westerners play where we say all the right shibboleths and so everyone likes us.”
Very interesting. He had the whole game going: a vegan worried about climate change, supports every manner of justice (racial, social, environmental) except that which is coming for him, and shells out millions to worthy charities associated with the left. He also bought plenty of access and protection in D.C., enough to make his shady company the toast of the town.

Those who believe in an impending climate catastrophe often insist that the world must “decarbonize,” electrify the entire economy, and base future electricity generation entirely on renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass and hydroelectric generation. Rarely, however, do these advocates address the risks of such an approach in the event of electricity supply interruptions. Common sense tells most of us decarbonization and net zero are impossible and absurd. If it could be done it would really be the end of life as we know it but it can’t be done. But in the brief time politicians and moronic activists work toward it, they are and will wreak havoc and damage on much of society.
What, however, would it mean to the average person if there were blackouts lasting two days? What would happen if the blackouts lasted two weeks?

The cost of everything is going up, but the Albanese Labor government is pouring more fuel on the fire by tipping billions into policies that will make electricity prices even higher.
With more wind and solar in the grid than ever before power bills have never been higher. Time to give up on this pipe dream.
Have you ever found yourself completely losing your temper in the middle of a heated struggle of some sort? Whether it is a hotly contested sporting event, an actual fist fight or a bitter battle against an online foe, it can be way too easy to lose your temper.
And when tempers flare, you can end up losing control and doing things that you deeply regret later. Unfortunately, the same thing is true on an international level. Russia and NATO have both become absolutely obsessed with “winning” in Ukraine, and leaders on both sides are getting angrier and angrier. And when leaders become extremely angry, they can do really stupid things.

It’s time to end the Cuban Embargo—and its successors.
Cuba is a country so impoverished that the people don't beg for money on the streets. They beg for underwear, pencils, and aspirin.
And this is a country that was one of the wealthiest in Latin America prior to the Cuban Communist Revolution, not to mention a famous tourist destination known for glamor and luxury, all of which you can now see decaying on the streets of Havana.
The chief of Russia's General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, relayed his concerns to his US and British counterparts in a rare phone call.
Moscow has discussed the threat of Kiev potentially using a “dirty bomb” with London and Washington at the level of the chiefs of the General Staff, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday. The Russian chief of defense, General Valery Gerasimov, raised his country's concerns in a phone call with US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, after having a similar conversation with his British counterpart, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin.
