Three Gorges
It’s going to be a massive issue if the dam fails, worldwide for supply chains. Watch this space for links to advice about that.
What’s your over/under on failure? The CCP’s confidence is probably a bald lie.
Who had baboons armed with chainsaws for August?
Granted, "armed" may be stretching a point, just because they're carrying them around, but it's not a good look.
Capitalism
From the Week in Pictures at Powerline.
I'm reading "Apocalypse Never," whose author makes much the same point about the best approach to what he considers to be serious environmental risks: we'd do better to increase prosperity and increase resilience across a number of possible fronts, than to tie ourselves down to cripplingly expensive solutions to badly understood risks that may never ripen into real problems. Prosperous societies do less environmental damage than poor ones, despite the "Noble Savage" fantasies of limousine liberals, and the Noble Savages don't have the same ambitions for their children that Hollywood wishes they did.

Riders, Keep Your Heads on a Swivel More Than Usual- You're Now a Target
The media isn't covering this because it certainly doesn't fit their narrative, but I think many of us knew things like this were coming down the pike sooner or later- Man deliberately swerves head on into a Harley rider because "The Harley culture is made up of white racists"
Now I understand that this man is almost certainly suffering from mental issues, but then so are a lot of people around the country, so I have no sense that we won't see other similarly motivated acts in the future. Beware and stay safe.

Inevitable: Resolution to Ban the Democratic Party
If the Republicans had left it alone, the Democrats would have gotten there themselves.
Enjoy your “Washington Football Team,” by the way.
Where is the Order of Chivalry?
The Church established several orders of knighthood to protect churches and shrines, pilgrims and congregations. Now it blanches to employ them.
Well, yeah
From the Examiner:
Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee and a dogged Trump defender, last week told Fox Business: “The No. 1 question I get, whether I'm in the 4th District of Ohio or traveling around our state or traveling around the country, the No. 1 question I get from people is, they will walk up to me and say, 'when is somebody going to jail?'”
He's had it
The CEO of Red Bull GmbH just gave all of his woke executives their walking papers over their pushing a BLM agenda during the last month. The how-DARE-you reports speak darkly of his Austrian headquarters and Trump support, his skepticism about German immigration policy, and his Scrooge-McDuck ownership of an island off Fiji, so I thought I should look up his Wiki to find out how evil Dietrich Mateschitz really is.
The Wiki page as of 10 a.m. July 21 was pretty benign. There aren't even any Nazi tie-ins yet, but I predict that by 2 p.m. it will contain a lot of new and scandalous entries. In the meantime, besides the information that Mateschitz bought his island from the Forbes family for a mere seven million pounds--which everyone who watches the island-acquisition TV shows knows is chicken feed--there is the interesting fact that he owns a custom submarine for the use of his island guests. How many anti-woke world-dominating billionaire moguls can go full Captain Nemo? All he needs now is a volcano and a nuclear arsenal.
Another Peaceful Protest
It takes gall to attack a pro-law enforcement protest (6 years running).
Goodness knows our justice system is broken, and there’s a lot that desperately needs fixing. I’m not impressed with this approach, though none of the others are working either. It’s another area where both parties are both wrong, and both lying. That doesn’t excuse cracking the heads of innocent people.
