Matt Taibbi of Racket News has been on the Russiagate story for 9 years. He says we finally know enough to reach a conclusion on what happened:
"I’ve tiptoed for years around what I believed to be true about this case, worrying some mitigating fact might emerge. Now, (with the publication of new documents) there’s no doubt. Hillary Clinton got in a jam over her emails, and the FBI, CIA, and the Obama White House got her out of it by setting Trump up. That’s it. It was a cover-up, plain and simple."

Rep.-elect John James (MI) and Rep.-elect Wesley Hunt (TX) are close friends and are first two Black graduates of West Point to enter Congress. They are even from the same class! Both Republicans. No surprise there have been almost zero national media profiles of either or both.

Imperial College model saw Sweden paying big price for no lockdown, 40,000 Covid deaths by 1 May, 100,000 by June.
Sweden now has 2,680 deaths, peaking 2 wks ago. So Imperial College model – influenced both UK, US policy – is wrong, by order of magnitude

A great quote from the just passed Walter Williams:
“Prior to capitalism, the way people amassed great wealth was by looting, plundering and enslaving their fellow man. Capitalism made it possible to become wealthy by serving your fellow man.”
-Walter E. Williams
Walter Williams has died. He was a wonderful teacher and unflinchingly honest. I respected him greatly. He was an early guest on EconTalk in what was the 22nd episode...

I got vaccinated today as I am past 60 years old. Had to show photo ID twice, verify my birth date twice, verify my phone number twice and verify my address once.
But if I had been voting: zip, nada, nothing.
Look at that. NY requires ID for COVID vaccinations - a driver’s license, passport or other proof of residency. Why is it ok to require ID to save someone’s life, but not ok for voting? Asking for IDs is sensible, here and for voting.
