THE TRUTH HURTS: A friend writes: “The Left tries to portray their support for college Hamasniks as being the 1970s ACLU defending the Nazis, except they actually like the Hamasniks. So, it’s more like the 1970s Nazis defending the Nazis.”

THE E.V. BUBBLE CONTINUES TO DEFLATE: Whiff of InEVitability: Looks Like We’re Over EVs.

Right now they’re cool, but a niche product. In a few years, with a new generation of batteries, they may be a plausible replacement for internal combustion cars. Right now they’re not.

Twitter previously banned ZeroHedge’s account for allegedly violating Twitter’s platform manipulation policy by theorizing about the Wuhan virus’s origins.
