Common sense from the late Charlie Munger: “Very few people want unlimited immigration of a different culture.” Also: ” I think we should have way more control of our borders than we do. Donald Trump was right on that and I think the Democrats are committing suicide by being so… https://t.co/KZERLYBG9e https://t.co/a14r4uxU9n

Some obituaries for Charles Peters have emphasized his New Deal roots and fealty to liberal goals. All true. But here’s a representative table of contents for a mid-70s issue of Peters’ magazine. It’s mostly criticism of liberalism as we knew it https://t.co/3HaF8AKCj6

“As asylum seekers have surged at the southern border, President Biden has struggled to forge an effective response.” Not very hard! Mainly he’s tried to hide the flow, while resisting Galston’s dead obvious advice. It can’t just be incompetence, can it? https://t.co/L108EoeIDn

Of course the need to pay high UAW production costs may need unionized carmakers to concentrate on models with lots of non-crucial features (“Trailer Backup Assist”) that can justify a high price (for those who can afford it). Still. Market clearly demanding something cheaper no? https://t.co/yGhnLnJ4eG

Another reason cars cost so much: Not the UAW, or Bidenflation–they’re just way too complex. Crack a taillight on a late model Ford F-150 truck and it could cost $5,600 to repair, due to assorted electronic complications. https://t.co/xtun6QDLrI

How it works is usually this: The bigshots at the top work out some clever sellout deal that looks tough –to fool the voters — but really means more immigration. Voters say “Fuck you” and the deal collapses.

Cornyn: “I don’t mean to deprecate the people who are talking. But ultimately this is going to be a deal that’s going to be made between President Biden, Senate Majority Leader Schumer, Speaker Johnson and Leader McConnell”

Why is the headline on Politico’s site anti-DeSantis instead of anti-Haley? (“The Downfall of Ron DeSantis Is Good Fodder for the Press.”) Almost makes @jackshafer’s point about the Swoonami of Haley press coverage. https://t.co/tllqzsZqHF
