@RogerLowenstein Good point, Roger. I don’t follow Vance here, but I’m surprised by his vulgarity (“if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a shit person”). I guess he’s learned that from his charming boss. And, of course, no one was “chasing a 3-year old”.

Biden blocked sale of U.S. Steel to Japan’s Nippon Steel, fulfilling pledge to keep storied steelmaker domestically owned.Bidens worst move—choosing union boss rhetoric over the wellbeing of steelworkers and the economy writ large. Call it Lenin over Marx. https://t.co/47si1ws2wz

Great piece and a lot to ponder. Neil assesses RFK on the merits; much to learn here and cogently dissected.

It's 8am and I'm already getting shit for this. RFK Jr. is right about nutrition and the corrupt relationship between pharma, food and health care...and wrong about vaccines! https://t.co/d5ewaeZMLe
