New Zealand's new gun control. Yeah, right...
Democrats in the US may want to follow New Zealand's path on gun control.
But even New Zealanders aren't buying into it.
I dare say non-compliance in the US would be far more pervasive.

Texas hit by heatwave energy crisis
Seen this?
Because too many coal plants were taken down too fast, without replacement capacity in place.
The warnings were plentiful.
This one from just last January:
Texas Power Grid Operator Declares Level 1 Emergency Amid "Extreme Heat"Why is Texas low on "juice"?

Another Texas power plant is mothballed, raising concerns over reserves and prices
"The White Supremacy Hoax"
Via American Greatness:

The specter of white supremacy haunts America. Let us empower the government to crush it.
Just yesterday, “the deplorables” were to be deplored because they were “racist, sexist, homophobic,” clingers to “God and guns,” and Russian dupes to boot. Today, the agility and unanimity with which our politicians and media—heck, the ruling class—have shifted to indicting roughly 72 percent of the population as white supremacists, likely violent, would fill with envy their homologues in China, Cuba, North Korea, and other tyrannical places. By comparison, Joseph Goebbels had sloppy message discipline. Not even the Soviets in their salad days were so “on message!”
One may suppose that our ruling class merely intends to energize its constituencies and cower the opposition in the 2020 elections. But this is no game. Their proposals would impose pre-punishment for pre-crimes on persons accused or “suspected” of being a “white supremacist.” By whom? On the basis of what?
In practice, a “white supremacist” is anyone whom anyone in power dislikes enough to so label him. Who would accept being outlawed at will? Our ruling class plays with matches in a house drenched in gasoline.

Meanwhile, in Atlanta...
Democratic Socialists met for a convetion.
And seemed to have trouble deciding which they hated more: Capitalism or gendered pronouns.
