All The News That Isn't Fit To Print

Friday after the close Moody's changed its ratings outlook on the US "to negative from stable”. The ratings agency explained that downside risks to US fiscal strength have increased, "In the context of higher interest rates, without effective fiscal policy measures to reduce government spending or increase revenues, Moody's expects that the US' fiscal deficits will remain very large, significantly weakening debt affordability. Continued political polarization within US Congress raises the risk that successive governments will not be able to reach consensus on a fiscal plan to slow the decline in debt affordability."

JOHN COOPER: Our Society Is Run By The Wimpy, Weak And Woke-Daily Caller

You don’t have to be a genius to know that something is deeply wrong. Prayer in schools is outlawed, but teaching kids radical gender theory in kindergarten is mandatory. Parents who don’t want CRT or radical sex education taught to their five year olds are seen as a danger to their children, whilst celebrating drag queen story hour is praised as virtuous. Racism is anathema, unless it is racism against whites, Jews, and Asians; in which case, racism is “justice.” All of this is because—as the title of my book suggests—our society is Wimpy, Weak, and Woke.

Hawley Aims at Wokeness and Misses The corporate speech to which he objects has nothing to do with Citizens United.-WSJ

Repealing Citizens United wouldn’t stop Target from featuring “women’s” swimsuits with extra room for male genitalia or Dick’s Sporting Goods from pulling guns from its shelves. Without Citizens United, Disney would still be free to push woke themes in its films and to lobby against state efforts to curb woke curricula in public schools. Disney-owned ESPN can continue its odd practice of infusing every aspect of sports with leftist jargon and commentary. Mr. Hawley’s legislation would have no effect on HR training that seeks to humiliate employees of disfavored backgrounds.

New Plastics ‘Offsets’ Point to Next Frontier in Controversial Green Claims The credits are based on the murky practice of burning plastic waste for fuel. -Bloomberg

The environmental benefits of managing plastic waste in this way are murky. PCX’s own analysis suggests there are very few emissions savings from the fuel switch, with most coming from those avoided in the transport of imported coal. It depends on cement factories’ pollution controls and the precise type of plastic being burnt, but the difference in CO2 emissions is “likely to be negligible,” said Ed Cook, a University of Leeds researcher who studies plastic waste.
