This week, we've got Powerline's Steve Hayward sitting in for Rob Long (who's busy being lionized) as we bid a sad so long to Conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh. Then, Ayaan Hirsi Ali stops by to discuss her new book Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women’s Rights. Also, be sure to visit her new website and subscribe to her new podcast. Also, Ted Cruz defies The Wall and goes to Mexico, a break down of the latest McConnell v. Trump cage match, and one of our hosts is very excited about Perseverance landing safely on Mars and one of them responded with a big "meh." Care to guess which is which?

    Wind power still is, and really always has been, all about the graft/grift. Unless the technology has greatly improved in just the past few weeks, last I heard the windmills still don't generate enough power over their lifetime, to cover the amount of energy consumed in their construction, installation, operation, and decommissioning/disposal.

    European leaders and "native" populations are fighting a losing battle against muslim extremism and violence etc because as Mark Steyn wrote about 15 years ago now, those people are disappearing because they aren't having children to replace themselves. It doesn't matter how many laws they create to "require" assimilation, banning hijabs in public, etc. All the muslims have to do is wait as the "native" European population declines to the point where the muslims can take control. Then the law changes from BANNING hijabs etc to REQUIRING hijabs.
