In Brief

Excerpts from a nypost.com editorial on the suppression of stats by progressives: “In 2021 the global use of coal, oil and natural gas combined grew nearly five times as fast as wind and solar energy.” It concludes: “Stats — on renewable energy, test scores, nursing-home deaths or anything else — are absolutely critical to decision-making. And only those with something to hide will look to kill the messenger by trying to make the data go away.”

Stating what was obvious to those paying attention, headline from newsmax.com: “Twitter Confirms Shadow Banning Conservatives.” About half the country approves, believes its righteous, patriotic.

Will Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema declaring as an Independent hurt Dems? I doubt it. After all, Bernie Sanders is allegedly one and there isn’t a more reliable leftist vote in the chamber. But it’s always fun to see the left go into meltdown.

Who the heck would watch the Meghan Markle/Prince Harry docuseries? Alas, the pair will laugh all the way to the bank, the deal reportedly worth up to $100 million. What a world.

All the business came in the last half hour today at the floating book shop. Most of the trade was in Russian titles, including ten translations of Agatha Christie novels. The lone work of fiction in English that sold was The Running Man by Stephen King. My thanks to the buyers and to the gentleman who delivered a bag of Russian books, half of which sold immediately.
