teachers don't even have children themselves?

These are just opinions but interesting observations nonetheless.

Eva Bartlett on the ground in Ukraine

The interview is from May 29, 2022, so only 3 months into the war.  But if you're looking for an accurate assessment of the conflict in Ukraine, this, though dated, is quite good.  Clayton Morris is the host, and Eva Bartlett is the guest from Ukraine.  At the 29:00 mark, she mentions Andrei Martyanov as a source for Russian military capabilities.  


Biden administration spent $324 million in taxpayer funds on illegal immigrants' dental and health care at holding facilities

Could you imagine getting this level of care in Botswana or South Africa or Chile?  I wonder what a crown costs.  Given that the U.S. taxpayer was covering these expenses, I assume that the sky's the limit.

The Article III Project with Mike Davis


Excellent. 

Mike Davis from Iowa, went to the university of Iowa for undergraduate work.  Went to law school and got involved in politics.  Interned for Speaker Newt Gingrich during Clinton's impeachment.  Went back, and started Students for George W. Bush across the state of Iowa.  Got involved very heavily in the Bush campaign.  Went to work for Chuck Grassley, my home state senator.  After I graduated, I worked in the Bush 43 Administration.  Went to Law School in Iowa, and campaigned the whole time.  Went back to the Bush 43 White House, and helped with the hiring and firing of political appointees.  That's where I met Neil Gorsuch.  Helped him get into the Justice Department.  Helped him get onto the 10th Circuit. And then he dragged me out to Colorado.  I was one of his first clerks.  Was a civil litigator in Colorado for 10 years.  Then Gorsuch dragged me back out to DC to help him get confirmed on the Supreme Court.  I was going to go back to Denver.  I had a good life there and got mired in the Swamp.  Chuck Grassley's office called me again.  They wanted me to be the Chief Counsel for nominations for Trump's first 2 years.  So we helped Trump set records for the number of judges he appointed to the bench.  And then I was going to go back to Colorado and I keep getting roped into starting these groups and doing these fights.  So I started the Article 3 Projects [find their Twitter feed here.] At the time, it was to fight to confirm President Trump's judicial nominees, now it's opposing Biden's nominees.  It's defending Constitutional judges.  Once they get to the bench, they have lifetime tenure.  They have paid protection, but they're still humans.  So I like to defend them, like Clarence Thomas when they go after him and his wife, or when they go after my old boss, Gorsuch, for killing Sonia Sotomayer with this MaskGate on the Supreme Court. 

6:40  I also started the Internet Accountability Project, which goes after Big Tech from the Right on Anti-Trust, Section 230, and data privacy.  And so I have my hands full on defending Trump on the Mar-A-Lago raid.  I am defending the rule of law.  It's a constant battle.  Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of Republicans in DC who have a backbone, so I tend to be getting into a lot of these fights solo but it's fun doing it.
