"The desire of power in excess, caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess, caused man to fall: but in charity there is no excess [emphasis added]; neither can angel, nor man, come in danger by it."
Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
In his active political career, Bill Clinton, at times, displayed genius. However, his post-presidency defines how an arrogant, proud person can cruelly destroy a charity’s ability to perform good works lawfully.
Francis Bacon, an intellectual giant, understood that true charity only benefits the recipient. Bill is the opposite. In thousands of pages of word torrents, Bill seems to suggest that activities pursued through “his” foundation served as a kind of

Not only is the Democrat party anti-American, it is shot through with an anti-democratic streak that is ever more apparent.
Like every tyranny throughout history -- communist, Marxist, socialist -- citizens are disarmed.
After every gun crime here, as with the murder of a professor at Old Dominion University the other day, the Muslim murderer who was previously charged with a terrorism crime and went to prison, is not blamed; his acquisition of the gun is. If the Iranian citizenry were armed, they would not be sitting ducks today.
The Democrat party is fervently in favor of the gender mutilation of persons suffering with gender dysphoria,

Colorado used to be a pretty good place. When I moved there in 1989, it was still mostly South Wyoming. Oh, there was downtown Denver, where the urban Dems clustered, and there was the People's Republic of Boulder, where they kept all the hippies. But most of Colorado was still pretty sensible. Now, though? It's East California, and nothing makes that case more clearly than the Jefferson County, Colorado board of education defying Title IX by allowing boys in girls' locker rooms, overnight accommodations, and on their sports teams.
It wasn't an isolated case, either. Up to 60 male students may have been given the opportunity to occupy spots for competing

The U.S. military devastated the military installations on Kharg Island, Iran’s major oil transport facility, but left the oil infrastructure alone. President Trump threatened to blow up the oil facilities, too:
“The United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island,” Trump said in a statement Friday evening, referring to an island in the Persian Gulf where most of Iran’s oil is processed.
“I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and

Is he alive or is he dead? When it comes to the new ayatollah, the answer is ultimately Yes. If he is alive, it won’t be for long. Who wants to tell him?
Sadly, I don’t have any memes yet for Judge Lawrence Van Dyke’s amazing dissent at the 9th Circuit Friday. (If you haven’t heard about this, see the third item here.)

If you vote for Gavin Newsom for president, what do you get?
If you find out, tell him. He would love to know.
The Democrat governor of California recently had occasion to explain what to expect if he entered the Oval Office on January 20, 2029.
Alas for Newsom, his not-ready-for-primetime response recalled other politicians who had no clue why they ran for office.
In Michael Ritchie’s film The Candidate, Bill McKay (the great, recently late Robert Redford) wins a U.S. Senate seat. On Election Night, he is adrift. He is a victorious, albeit empty, vessel. He hides from his adoring crowd just long enough to corner his campaign manager (Peter Boyle) and plead:

From the moment we learned of the joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran, Democrats have been pushing rhetoric designed to scare people and stoke opposition to it. They have claimed Trump was starting an “endless war” and that there was no plan or strategy behind it. And initially, polls showed opposition to the strikes was significant. But a new Washington Post poll suggests that opposition to the war in Iran is softening significantly.
The poll found that 42% now support the U.S. military campaign against Iran, while 40% oppose it — a near dead heat. That's a huge reversal from where things stood just days earlier, when the Post's flash poll showed

Of the three countries that President Trump has taken steps to liberate, the tyranny closest to collapsing is Cuba’s. Many of Cuba’s young people have left, its Communist government is utterly incompetent, and, with the supply of free or cheap Venezuelan oil cut off, the Communists can’t keep the power on. So I think the downfall of Cuba’s Communist Party, which has misruled that island for more than 60 years, is only weeks or months away.
Earlier today, Miguel Díaz-Canel, President of Cuba and First Secretary of the Communist Party, confirmed reports that talks are underway with the United States:
The president said that the talks with the United States

Japanese automaker Honda just cancelled the production of three planned made-in-the-U.S.A. electric cars, including the 0-Series SUV, the 0-Series Saloon, and the Acura RSX — and the company says it will write off massive losses as a result.
Still, better than building EVs nobody wants to buy. The company said the EVs had to go to avoid future losses, complaining about the “current business environment where the demand for EVs is declining significantly.”
I follow these things, and I'd somehow never even heard of Honda's 0-Series vehicles — assuredly for "zero emissions" — introduced at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and were

The first six days of war in Iran cost U.S. taxpayers at least $11.3 billion in munitions alone, according to Pentagon estimates reviewed by lawmakers, and experts say the final cost will only increase. That total does not include the cost of operating and maintaining the military force engaged in the war or battle damage sustained from Iran’s attacks.
The military used about $5.6 billion in munitions in the first two days of the conflict, according to a person with knowledge of the estimate. The munitions cost was first reported by The Washington Post.
The money spent on munitions, and the added expense of any damage done to U.S. military infrastructure

All classes have been canceled at Old Dominion University in Virginia after an active shooter was "neutralized" in the area, officials announced.
Shortly before 10:49 a.m., a gunman in Constant Hall opened fire and injured two people, according to university spokesperson Jonah Grinkewitz. Campus police, the Norfolk Police Department and emergency personnel responded and the gunman is now dead, Grinkewitz said. The injured have been transported to a local hospital.
The Norfolk Police Department confirmed they were on scene responding to the "active incident" at the school on social media.
"As of 11:43 a.m., there is no longer a threat at Old Dominion University,"

For years, the British £5 note has carried the face of Winston Churchill. The wartime prime minister who rallied Britain during its darkest hour has stared out from wallets and cash registers across the country, a constant reminder of the man who helped lead Britain through World War II.
Now the Bank of England is considering scrapping that tradition.
And what might replace one of Britain’s most consequential leaders says quite a lot about where parts of the country’s cultural establishment think Britain should be headed.
Animals. Plants. Landscapes.
Not the people who shaped the nation’s history. Wildlife.
The idea surfaced after the Bank of England asked the public what themes they
