I’d Be a Much Calmer Person If I Just Stopped Reading the WSJ Editorials.
A reply to the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, “The Evidence of the Jan. 6 Committee.” The Journal says its Editorial Board (EB) stands “… against the ukases of kings and other collectivists; and for individual autonomy against dictators, bullies and even the tempers of momentary majorities.” Except for now.

GrokGauntlet – It Is Time! And Lots of People to Grill
And this is not just for Groksters and candidates this time around – readers, you have your role to play as well!
In our GrokGauntlets, we DON’T ask the same types of questions that other media journalists ask in their roundtable with candidates. We are Conservatarian political activists, first, that have built up a large mouthpiece in GraniteGrok – and our questions should, quite well, align with our readerships’ political viewpoints that generally do NOT align with most mainstream media. We want to figure out who you are, what you stand for, and how you view politics, how well you are grounded, and get a sense of what you’d do if you win both the Primary and General Elections.

So the Russian military continues the war in eastern Ukraine, inching slowly forward, while Putin forces Europe to continue to buy his oil.
