Peter Singer Compares Abortion to Turning Off a Computer
This is the kind of thinking that results from rejecting the intrinsic moral value of human life. Princeton University bioethicist Peter Singer — who is most famous for secularly blessing infanticide — just compared abortion to turning off a computer.
Gun Rights
Federal judge in Virginia says ban on handgun sales to under-21s is unconstitutional
Second Amendment advocates scored a major victory in federal court on Thursday after a federal judge in Virginia found that the federal prohibition on handgun sales to adults younger than 21 violates their Second Amendment rights.
Supreme Court Roundup: The Supreme Court Should Review and Enjoin the Illinois Gun Ban
On May 1, Justice Amy Coney Barrett directed the State of Illinois and the City of Naperville to respond to the emergency application for injunction pending appellate review filed by the National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR). As I explained in “An Opening Judicial Salvo in Defense of Illinois’ New Rifle Ban,” the U.S. district court (N.D. Ill.) denied a motion for preliminary injunction against the State’s ban on semiautomatic rifles and standard-capacity magazines, greatly departing from Supreme Court precedent on the Second Amendment.

Environment &“Green Energy”
Granholm’s not good, very bad electrified military plan
You may have already heard about Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm’s plan to develop and deploy a fully electric American military fleet by the 2030s. And since this is being done to appease the anger of the Climate God, all of the power for these tens of thousands of vehicles will all need to be generated through green energy sources such as wind and solar. We are being assured that this will put us on a solid footing somehow. Well, the good folks at the Institute for Energy Research (who know a few things about electricity generation and related matters) have taken a look at Granholm’s proposal and absolutely panned it for a variety of reasons. We’ll get to the related costs in a moment, but the key factor is reliability. Even if you have never been in combat, served in the military, or even seen a war movie, take a moment to read this and tell me if you don’t find yourself nodding your head in agreement.
Electric Vehicles: Bringing Cuba to Britain
Central planners across the Western world — from the British Conservative Party to the Biden administration — are doing their best to force buyers of new cars to switch to electric vehicles (EVs). But what if consumers prefer to stick with “traditional” cars that are more closely tailored to their needs? Something tells me that, unless regulators get involved — spoiler, they probably will — the afterlife of the internal-combustion engine will last far longer than the planners would like, raising the prospect that, as has been the case in Cuba, another scene of central planning triumph, ancient cars will be driving around for a long, long time.
Dishwashers Are Already Efficient
The Biden administration wants stricter efficiency requirements for dishwashers in an effort to make them greener. It would likely backfire.
Colorado Parents Shouldn’t Allow Their Kids within Miles of These Teachers
The utter dedication of the country’s teachers’ unions to a radical transformation of the U.S. has long been evident, but if you need a refresher, consider the resolution recently adopted in Colorado, declaring that capitalism “exploits” people and harms education. Not a single one of the resolution’s supporters knows Thing One about capitalism, but that doesn’t matter in the least.
After 4 Whales Die in 4 Days, NJ GOP Wants 60 Day Ban on Offshore Wind Farm Construction

Obamacare
Government in Healthcare
Texas ‘Futile Care’ Law May Soon Be Less Authoritarian
Texas’s infamous “futile care” law (contained within TADA, the Texas Advanced Directives Act) looks to soon become less authoritarian. Under current law, a patient in the ICU can be cut off from wanted treatment based on the doctor’s perception of his or her quality of life. If the MD thinks the wanted treatment is “inappropriate,” a behind-closed-doors ethics-committee hearing can be called, and if the committee decrees that the treatment will be withdrawn, the patient and/or family has only ten days to find another facility willing to provide the care. There is no appeal process and no written record of who said what and the bases for the decision.
Bioethicists: Euthanasia Okay for ‘Unjust Social Conditions’
Once killing the sufferer becomes a societally acceptable means for ending suffering, there becomes no end to the “suffering” that justifies human termination. We can see this phenomenon most vividly in Canada, because it is happening there more quickly than in most cultures. For example, a recent poll found that 27 percent of Canadians polled strongly or moderately agree that euthanasia is acceptable for suffering caused by “poverty” and 28 percent strongly or moderately agree that killing by doctors is acceptable for suffering caused by homelessness.

The Russian Air Force had a very bad day
Saturday was not a good day to be a pilot flying combat missions near the Ukrainian border. In a set of attacks that were described as having taken place “almost simultaneously,” Russia had four aircraft shot down out of the sky. A fifth aircraft crashed later the same day. Ty Rogaway at The Drive reports that the four initial losses were two helicopters and two fighter jets. The craft were two Mi-8 Hip helicopters, a Su-34 Fullback strike fighter, and a Su-35 Flanker-E. There were no survivors from the crashes. But questions remain as to who actually brought them all down. (More on that in a moment.) But the remarkable part of the story is that none of the aircraft even made it into Ukrainian airspace. They all came down inside Russia’s borders.

Private Security Guards Are Replacing Police Across America
Andre Boyer enters the gas station like a soldier—back straight, boots shined, AR-15 pointed towards the floor. He’s late to meet me, he says, because his employee caught a shoplifter and he needed to sort through red tape. He seems unaware of the flutter of anxiety spreading through the store as customers see his weapon, handcuffs, and bulletproof vest. But if anyone asked, which they don’t, he’d assure them that he’s there for their own good, even though it’s hard to be relaxed in the presence of a loaded gun.
From DeSantis to A’s, highlights from first months of Lombardo’s calendar

Communists Love Free Enterprise
Of all living Americans, Angela Davis may have the most disgraceful history. She is a Communist–her description, not mine; she was twice the Communist Party’s candidate for vice president, and was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize by the Soviet Union. She once participated in the murder of a judge in California. She was acquitted of the crime by a biased jury, but there was never any serious doubt about her guilt: the murder and associated crimes were perpetrated with her guns.

McConnell to CNN: He’s working hard not to “screw up” the 2024 races
Senators Mitch McConnell and Steve Daines have the 2024 elections in focus. McConnell told CNN’s Manu Raju that he is trying hard not to “screw up” the 2024 elections as the 2022 elections were screwed up. Specifically, candidate recruitment takes priority. The GOP has a good shot at taking back the majority in 2024 if all goes well. We know from experience, though, that Republicans have a real talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Crenshaw is a ‘no’ vote on the House Republican border security bill

Suing the FBI for the Tennessee shooter’s manifesto
It’s now been well over a month since transgender mass shooter Audrey Hale shot and killed six people including three children in a Christian school in Tennessee. Initial statements from the police indicated that the shooter had left behind a suicide note and a “manifesto,” along with other documents. But unlike other mass shootings, the FBI kept the documents from the public while they were conducting their investigation. On April 27, the Nashville Police said they were nearly finished and anticipated releasing the documents to the media. But now the FBI has turned around yet again and refused to do so. This week, the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty is taking the FBI to court in an effort to compel them to give up the manifesto.

Academics Who Can’t Tolerate Dissent
Over history, the commitment to freedom of speech is rare. For most of human history, elites who are certain they know the truth have held sway over everyone else, and woe betide anyone who dared to disagree. For a few centuries in the liberal parts of the world, free speech became the norm, but now the pendulum is swinging back, led by academics who want to silence criticism of their anointed visions (to borrow from Thomas Sowell).

New York City Dumping Asylum Seekers on the Suburbs
Big blue cities have an almost limitless capacity for alienating their neighbors because of the inherent unsustainability of their own policies.

Virtue Signaling, Not Science
The vast majority of American educational institutions have succumbed to the “anti-racism” craze, making proclamations and adopting policies that are supposed to advance “equity.” They don’t have any beneficial effects, but failing to adopt them risks trouble with hyper aggressive wokesters.
Parents to Blame for Carless, Sexless Teenagers
Much has been written about the American teenager’s cooling passions for the similarly tactile diversions of driving and sexual intercourse. Parents, and their willingness to facilitate the lives of their teens while overprotecting their children’s bodies at the cost of their minds, are at least partially to blame. Kids have never been less risk-averse, indicating a shift toward timidity; we should deny it a foothold on our shores.

Over the last few years, the Left has gone all in for “equity,” by which they mean coercive policies that will ensure fairness for all social groups. That old liberal stuff about equal opportunity — well, that’s just cover for white privilege.
