Cleaning up the tabs
I've got a bunch of tabs open in my browser again that I've been meaning to write about, but there hasn't been much time available to me, so here are the links:
- The Washington Post's Robert Samuelson takes aim at the "Cap-and-Trade" program for greenhouse gases and finds that is more aptly named "Cap-and-tax."
- The Washington Post editorial page notices that we may have reached the tipping point in Iraq -- it may very well be winnable.
- Economist Thomas Sowell gives some advice to college grads: Make money.
- Finally, a Marine back from Iraq on leave is murdered by a couple of thieves. Thankfully, the cops have the perpetrators who should rot in jail for the rest of their pathetic lives.

"A ruling against New York could overturn a decade of Second Amendment precedents in ways that unravel gun regulations in cities and states across the United States by rendering many lower-court rulings and state gun laws unconstitutional." https://twitter.com/BostonReview/status/1450824380095815681
'New York State Rifle & Pistol v. Bruen' may give the right—and its politics of racial resentment—a major win, but at the cost of #guncontrol laws known to prevent shootings.

Narrator: By "misleading" he means "bald-faced lie."
The fact that it hasn't been consistently called a bald-faced lie shows the partisan foundation on which all of his "fact-checking" is based.
Well, with no new taxes on the wealthy or corporations AND a SALT fix, the WH may soon have to retire the misleading claim that the spending bill will cost "zero dollars." https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1450911886166351874
I'll take a look at dude's new book, but this tweet isn't promising. Watts is a self-aggrandizing extremist whose easily debunked smears have done a lot of damage to her own cause. Also, within pro-gun-control circles everyone knows she's toxic, & Busse surely knows this. https://twitter.com/ryandbusse/status/1450623648067248128
It’s time for reasonable gun owners to cry bullshit on those who demonize good people like @shannonrwatts who are just fighting to make the world better. As Shannon says…it’s also time to buy this book. http://www.ryanbusseauthor.com
