We need wisdom, not good intentions

There is a reason nearly everyone is familiar with the saying, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” The reason is, of course, that it is true, and therefore it helps explain why there is so much evil.

The inflection point in the fight for civilizational sanity

Chesa Boudin is, by any reasonable measure, a nut job. Conservatives could not grow a more pictureperfect political villain in a petri dish, even if they tried.
