Clarence Thomas graduated from Holy Cross ninth in his class (of more than 500 students). According to the New York Times, eight Holy Cross graduates were admitted to Yale Law between 1968 and 1978, the decade that included Justice Thomas’s law school career. Why assume that he got in only because of his race? Why question the justice’s credentials but not Bill Clinton’s or Hillary Rodham’s, two of his fellow Yale Law students? The reason is affirmative action, which has made people suspicious of black academic and professional success. And, with Thomas, the Left magicians have made affirmative action a slur!

This past week the IMF released the 1Q2023 COFER data. US dollar share of world reserves actually INCREASED to from 58.6% to 59.0%. Arguably further evidence against short-run “de-dollarization” which is apparently overhyped.

Anyone who believes that rich lobbyists, in pursuit of their own particular special interests, exert too much influence over politics must surely advocate less and not more government. After all, the more the state intervenes in the economy (through subsidies and overregulation), the greater the influence lobbyists can exert.--Zitelmann

Some adventurous bureaucrats have decided to attack the dreaded global warming at its source: they want to blunt the sun.
Imagine. The very source of life on earth has become a small cadre's greatest enemy. Years ago, seeding the atmosphere with tiny reflective flakes to bounce the sun's rays back into space was a thought experiment--as an act of war. Evil nations could do this in some crazed anti-production act to drive the world retrograde to more primitive time. Now people we call our leaders are plotting to solve the climate hysteria with a bold, completely uncontrolled--and uncontrollable--stroke. They want to blanket our trembling, fragile earth in a darkening pall. A poorly substantiated threat will be solved by an impossible, unmanageable--and possibly planet-killing--experiment.
The governments are becoming like some Marvel super-villain.

Justice Thomas I admire the man unfortunately is on the take.
IMF will certainly go bankrupt soon
You worry to much about unimportant items
Read Epictitus who says “The are events within your control and
Bayonne your control
Worry if you must. about those about events and outcomes within your control
I worry. And object.
