Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

When Delusion Drives the Affairs of Nations

"Earlier this week, Time published a story about Volodymyr Zelensky’s struggle to, well, make people still care about his war, given that there is now another conflict unfolding in the Middle East. “He deludes himself,” one of his closest aides told Time. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.”

There are different ways to look at this. You might say the only people more deluded than Zelensky are his Western backers. Or you might say the plan has always been fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian and that it required someone as deluded as Zelensky from the start.

Meanwhile, the southern U.S. border remains open. How bad is it? In a letter obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday, the mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York pressed to “meet with President Joe Biden about getting federal help in managing the surge of migrants they say are arriving in their cities with little to no coordination, support or resources from his administration.”

The problem has become unbearably real, even for liberals.

“Migrants are sleeping in police station foyers in Chicago. In New York, a cruise ship terminal was turned into a shelter,” the letter said. “In Denver, the number of migrants arriving has increased tenfold and available space to shelter them has withered.”

Combat: Disturbance Unto Survival

“No man in battle is really sane. The mindset of the soldier on the battlefield is a highly disturbed mind, and this is an epidemic of insanity which affects everybody there—and those not afflicted by it die very quickly.”

William Manchester, quoted in War: The New Edition by Gwynne Dyer

Lesson: Avoid kinetic warfare.

Here lies the student essay—RIP, old friend—slain by OpenAI.

A college professor grades 95 student essays. Then writes this:

"Miraculously, in the last year, mistakes of spelling and grammar have mostly disappeared—poof!—revealing sparkling error-free prose, even from students who speak English as a second or third language. The writing is getting better.

"The ideas are getting worse.

"There’s a new genre of essay that other academics reading this will instantly recognize, a clumsy collaboration between students and Silicon Valley. I call it glittering sludge.

"At the same time, in a totally unrelated development, some students have adopted a bold academic strategy: citing books and articles that do not exist.

"(In one particularly amusing example, a student cited me in an essay, drawing from my book, Fluke. The only problem: the alleged author of the cited text in the bibliography was not listed as Brian Klaas, but one “Benjamin Fluke.” Right title, wrong author, wrong publisher, wrong year. Well played, ChatGPT).

Why Big Pharma is Freaking Out

Whoa, I can’t believe I didn’t see this before. Secretary Kennedy can singlehandedly remove liability protection for vaccines. Here’s how:

If Secretary Kennedy declares that there's no PREP Act public health emergency (there obviously isn’t) then Covid shots would no longer have liability protection. If he gets rid of the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule, then no childhood shots have liability protection under the 1986 Act.

It's literally just two signatures, that are within his power as HHS Secretary, and this entire national nightmare goes away. He doesn't even have to ban any shots — just let the class action lawsuits do their work. It’s a two-foot putt. THAT'S why Pharma is freaking out.
