To this day, no one has explained how Ukraine's strategic importance warrants such U.S. attention to it.

This brings back memories of the 55-mph speed limit. If that's resumed today, every trucker will run afoul of service hours or have to take 1.5 days to complete their routes, thus causing supply-chain problems, wreaking havoc with truckers' pay, and damaging the economy. Does anyone here think that the leftists have thought about any of this? Probably more pertinent today are calls to "charge by miles driven."

Sensible. The chief thread in the world today is Jihad.

Please read the whole thing and comment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ America Is Going To Be Targeted For A Massive Terrorist Attack … Will You be Ready? It happened in Israel, and it happened in Moscow, and it's going to happen here in America – again, and exponentially worse. The jihadis' merciless war against the West – the Muslim fanatics are not so finicky as we are about our distinctions between the Jewish state, Russia, and us, the Great Satan – did not end when the regime media started covering other things. We may have fled Afghanistan and Libya and largely pulled out of Iraq, but that war is still going on. It's going to go on until we decisively win it. But unfortunately, our ruling class refuses to decisively win it. In fact, our ruling class actively undermines attempts to win it. And it refuses to prepare for what's coming.

Bobulinski's Testimony: Unraveling Allegations of Biden Family Influence Peddling The entertainment committee never sleeps. Hunter Biden's former business partner Tony Bobulinski came to Congress a few days ago to testify before the House Oversight Committee about Hunter, his uncle Jim Biden, and the "Big Guy," Mr. 10 percent, Joseph R. Biden himself. It was an extraordinary performance. Calm. Deliberate. Detailed. Deadly. Mr. Bobulinski's written statement shows what care he took in marshaling facts and evidence. But it was his in-person testimony that made popping the corn worthwhile. Tony Bobulinski and Congressman Jay Raskin. Tony Bobulinski and Congressman Dan Goldman. He called both liars to their faces.

Jonathan Turley is concerned, with good reason. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Free speech hangs in the balance in 3 Supreme Court cases This month, the Supreme Court reviewed a trifecta of free speech cases that has government and civil libertarians alike on edge. While each of the cases raises an insular issue, they collectively run across the waterfront of free speech controversies facing this country. For some of us, what was most chilling from oral arguments were the sentiments voiced by justices on the left of the court, particularly Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The court may now be reflecting the shift among liberal scholars and politicians away from freedom of speech and in favor of greater government speech regulation.
