Readers will recall that I had posted last week about Norm Eisen. It turns out he used to be US Ambassador to the Czech Republic. By sheer coincidence, we learn that he is friends with Chief Justice John Roberts; and that Roberts had stayed with him for a week when […]

One Tenor
Many decades ago, Mario Lanza was a very popular tenor among Americans of Italian descent. Today, he is scarcely remembered:
The Consequence of Imprudent US Interventions
Ivermectin, Vaccine Bills In Raleigh
A couple of interesting bills have been filed in Raleigh. The first makes ivermectin over-the-counter in the state of North Carolina. Similar legislation has been enacted in at least one or two other states. This bill would make ivermectin more available when hospital systems forbid their doctors and nurse practitioners […]
Biased Media Tries To Slam Judge Griffin
The stories were profusive online today. The Associated Press (AP) initially ran a story about Jefferson Griffin.

Many will recall, prior to Covid, that the Republicans in Raleigh tried to pass HB 2 to deal with the transgender issue. A national uproar followed, and various ethically corrupt corporations threatened to pull their business from the state of North Carolina. The Republicans predictably surrendered without a fight.
