July 21 ,22

 Another week gone. And another month almost gone.

Charlie Sykes has a good summary of the politicaclown shit show this last week. Calling it a clown show 1) impugns clown, and 2) doesn't really express how totally noxious politics has become. I checked a bit more int RFK Jr. and am unimpressed. I think labeling his pronouncement that COVID was designed to be more lethal for white and black populations while sparing Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese as racist was a bit much. It is hugely anti-scientific since he didn't produce any evidence. He has a long history of being anti-vaccines, even the vaccines we have long used to at least mitigate childhood diseases. I much prefer to read critics who produce evidence. Also he was supposed to be testifying on censorship issues. However, I can't see where he has been either silenced or censored. Ignored perhaps because his ideas didn't resonate with those in positions of influence who don't think they merit attention. RepTHUGlicans seem to equate a dismissal of assertions that have no evidence as censorship. If you disagree you are censoring them or silencing them. They expect you to take all their most absurd assertions seriously instead of laughing them off the stage.

 I have seen a couple of other stories on this ridiculous response to FOR PROFIT insurance companies leaving the Florida market to minimize risks from losses due to increasingly damaging weather events and law suits. I emphasized the "for profit" because that is the main reason public companies exist: to make a profit. Now that it is becoming a problem for the politicians, the actions are "woke" or "ESG".
