My goodness, the Triggered Generation — those poor, fragile saps who never learned that “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” — would rather enter a currency death spiral and rah-rah Ukraine right into some U.S.-Russia “mutually assured destruction” than suffer the indignity of living in a world where people are allowed to express ideas with which they might disagree! From “disinformation boards” and government-directed social media censorship to government-funded blacklisting of websites accused of promoting something as moronically vaporous as “hate,” the left’s public enemy number one is none other than free speech. So sorry food is expensive, toxic train spills and industrial fires keep inexplicably happening, and a forthcoming nuclear wasteland might crush Greta’s “green” dreams, but at least President Mush-for-Mind never hurts your feelings!

Stainless Steal. Editor’s Note: For about 30 years, this editor has been telling younger people about a time when flatware and cutlery DID NOT Rust. I can remember the early 90’s when I would be slightly chagrined that the steak knife made in China had started to rust around the handle. I was hoping China would correct this flaw over time. Nope. They made rust the new standard.

While AI-Generated Art Still Has A WOW! Factor…
There is a brief, shining moment when you can impress people with new technology. It’s a small window. Back in the day, had a lot of fun with a Photoshop equivalent. Briefly, very briefly, I was a magician. Hard to impress anyone with doctored photos these days.
Here is hoping AI-generated art still smells new. I used Gab’s Gabby

EDITOR’S NOTES
1. We do not link To Fox News or Fox Business News.
2. We sometimes link to Fox affiliates.
3. We sometimes link to sites that contain a video that might have a snippet from Fox News (usually Tucker Carlson).
4. We try to avoid second hand news stories that are sourced from Fox News or Fox Business News.
5. We try to not link to sites with pay walls. This eliminates NYT and WaPo (who cares?) but also eliminates WSJ and Epoch Times. We hope that Epoch Times changes their business model because they are one of the best news outlets in the English language.
6. We believe it is more important than ever for Americans to monitor world affairs. The most influential man in America is probably George Soros and he is not in America–nor is he an American. Other understated influences on America include World Economic Forum, BBC, and CBC, to name but a few.
7. Most English language newspapers in non-English speaking countries are paid subscription sites. This presents an ongoing challenge to report on world affairs.
8. We try to avoid linking to mainstream media when possible We are not hesitant to link to mainstream sources if the news story involves raw data, such as the daily stock market or weather statistics or sports scores. Even then, we usually provide a “Mainstream” disclaimer.
