Thoughts from VDH on the vile deceit of the Democrats.
Weird LinkedIn Contacts
Twice now I’ve gotten messages from someone who says their boss would like to hire me for my space expertise, but when I say, “Great, email me,” the response is, “Oh, she only communicates via WhatApp and Telegram.” To which my response is that I don’t use WhatsApp for security reasons, and to use Signal, but beyond that, I don’t do business with people who won’t use email. Anyone have any ideas what kind of (likely) scam this?

The most recent exchange:
Me: I can’t do business with someone who only communicates in that manner. In particular. WhatsApp is a security risk. Email me, or do business with someone else.
Unknown person: My boss is very busy and needs to deal with a lot of work emails. You can use Telegram to contact my boss.
Me: I’m a work email. I don’t use either Telegram or WhatsApp. I’m busy, too. What kind of scam is this?

Final response: “My boss is also very busy. If you can’t meet my boss’s requirements, stop communicating with me and don’t waste my time. My time is also very precious.”
It’s suggested in comments that they’re after my phone number. That may be it.

Thoughts On American Politics
Sad thoughts, from Eugene Volokh.
Both Trump and Biden are symptoms of a deeply dysfunctional political system, including the media and the educational establishment.
The Eternal And Elemental Foe
Yes, the veneer of civilization is thin, and the degrowthers are clueless about it.
I would note, though, that one can believe that manmade climate change is real, and still recognize that all of the plans to try to prevent it are economically insane, and disastrous for civilization.

A good explanation of the implications of last week’s SCOTUS decisions on the administrative state.

Debate Advice For Trump
Let Biden be Biden.
[Friday update, back from Sedona]
Well, Biden was Biden. And even the media can’t cover for him any more.
I should add that I had no problem with Trump not responding to the questions on the two-state solution, or how he was going to deport millions. These “debates” are never debates, and always a joke in that regard. And I wish I could be one of Biden’s many trillionaires. It’s kind of hilarious the way he can’t distinguish between thousands, millions, billions, and trillions. Like most of the idiots who voted for him.

This election should be a blowout, regardless of whether they replace him or not. I think that at long last, we the people are tired of being lied to by these “elite” anal orifices.
