If you get a chance, watch this documentary about Lance Armstrong. Katherine and I watched it the past two nights and loved it. Armstrong is a complicated human being. He is capable of great good, but also great evil.

Here is John Nolte's latest column.

To the editor:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) make the case that we need a commission to obtain answers as to how this COVID-19 crisis grew in our country and how we can better prepare for such a crisis in the future.

I contend that the answer was clear the moment Donald Trump was elected president in November 2016: By selecting Trump, the American people had chosen to turn the presidency into an on-the-job training position.

This serves to answer both how we stumbled into our current crisis and how to better prepare for future problems. The presidency requires, among other traits, emotional and intellectual intelligence; it also requires prior government service.

Our current president has none of these.

Note from KBJ: Donald Trump is the greatest president of your lifetime, Gary. Stop watching CNN!

I spoke to highly respected (Chairman) Senator @JimInhofe, who has informed me that he WILL NOT be changing the names of our great Military Bases and Forts, places from which we won two World Wars (and more!). Like me, Jim is not a believer in “Cancel Culture”.

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

Hearing that God sent President Donald Trump to save the U.S. has been baffling. But maybe there’s a nugget of wisdom in that dogma.

Consider the spotlight now on the white privilege at the core of the Republican Party’s winning strategy since Richard Nixon. Dog-whistle strategies, like the Willie Horton ad by George H.W. Bush, have persisted, while Trump and his willing or scared enablers are fully invested in white supremacy.

But white progressives are not off the hook here. The social construct of white race supremacy has persisted even there, subtly coded in language and rationale. Our still mostly segregated lives have socialized white communities to a tolerated systemic suppression of non-whites. If you think you are post racism then please test that by reading Robin DiAngelo’s “White Fragility.” It opened my eyes to how deeply embedded white supremacy is in our economy, culture and thinking. Perhaps that is a divine message.

Note from KBJ: Stop projecting your racism onto others, Steve. Just because you're a racist doesn't mean that others are.
