New headlights, to go with all the other new stuff. Brakes, oil, plugs, clutch cables, tires — the bikes are newer than they’ve been in a while.

Barr is Having a Day
It's unusual to hear a two-time US Attorney General state that he's not confident that Congress would defend even its own building from defacing or destruction.
Let the money follow the student
Heads came to a sharp point when the President put a voucher proposal into the latest COVID relief bill:
As my husband says, with all the kids staying home, how long before families pass the hat to hire a schoolmarm to come out here on the train from back East?
Drawing on his history of supporting school-choice initiatives, he announced an ambitious new effort to give parents billions in federal funds – as much as $10,000 per child -- and allow them to pick the emergency-education method that would best fit their child’s and families’ needs.
“If the schools do not reopen, the funding should go to parents to send their children to [the] public, private, charter, religious or home school of their choice,” Trump told reporters Thursday during a press briefing. “The key word being ‘choice.’ If the school is closed, the money should follow the student so the parents and families are in control of their own decisions.”And if not that, then at least require the schools to go back to their core role as babysitters. The only thing worse than spending $10K a kid for an ideologically corrupt non-education is to fail to get some expensive childcare out of it.

Medical mystery
West Hunter poses a mystery: why have premature births dropped like a rock during lockdown? His readers offer two main theories: protection from an unknown pathogen, and decreased access to doctors who induce premature deliveries.
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?'”
