Employees of Levi Strauss & Co repeatedly pummeled me with these questions during 2020-2022, when I was the company’s brand president.
Why?

But that’s not me.
I’m pro-science.
And that’s why I’m anti-mask.

Bloated Military? Officer-to-enlisted ratio is 'out of wack' Rep. Jordan says
Bloated Military? Officer-to-enlisted ratio is 'out of wack' Rep. Jordan says"Some Republican leaders are looking for cuts to the nation’s military budget by addressing the “top heavy” shift that has led to a growing number of admirals and generals in comparison to enlisted personnel.
The percentage of top military leaders to active duty officers is near its highest level in modern military history, according to Congressional Research Service data.
“Frankly, maybe if we would focus our military spending on the soldiers and not having so many generals — the ratio of general officers to enlisted individuals now is so out of whack from where it used to be in our military,” Rep. Jim Jordan, (R-OH), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a recent interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

Florida Democrat wants to ban dogs from sticking their heads out of car windows and require them to be in crates if traveling - TheBlaze:
The legislation requires any dog traveling in a motor vehicle to be "secured in a crate" and "restrained safely with a harness or pet seat belt" or controlled by a person who isn't driving.
The bill outlaws cat declawing as well, with the possibility of a $5,000 fine for each violation of the act, along with a possible revocation of a veterinarian license.
The proposed legislation is also looking to ban the sale of rabbits in March and April, as well as at any "flea market, in private parking lots, or at any open-air venue, such as parades, concerts, and festivals."

Michigan 3rd graders wouldn’t get held back for low reading scores under new bill"The Michigan Senate has passed a bill amendment that would prevent third-grade students from being held back because of low reading scores.

When I Covered Climate Change for Reuters I Thought CO2 Was Certainly to Blame for Rising Temperatures. I Was Wrong
When I Covered Climate Change for Reuters I Thought CO2 Was Certainly to Blame for Rising Temperatures. I Was Wrong - BY NEIL WINTON
- The BBC and the mainstream media regularly frighten everyone with the latest climate disaster news with pictures of floods, fires and hurricanes, always followed by scary predictions that things will only get worse unless mankind mends its irresponsible ways.
- My alma mater Reuters, the global news agency, used to be above all this hysteria and would relentlessly apply its traditional standards of fairness and balance, but even this mainstream outfit seems to have sold out to the hysterics and axe grinders.
"The trouble is, many if not all of these disaster stories, far from being another step in a worsening scenario, are often nothing of the kind.
In a recent book Unsettled. What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, And Why It Matters, Steven Koonin uses the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change data to show that if reporters took the trouble to do a minimum amount of checking, most of these incidents would appear to be natural disasters, yes, but not part of some ever worsening syndrome...
A true leader!

Biden Weak Foreign Policy - TheBlaze
Biden Weak Foreign Policy - TheBlaze:
“The Biden family were a tremendously good investment for the Chinese Communist Party,” says Mark Levin, host of “LevinTV.”
Given the suspicious activities of the Biden family over the years, it is very convenient that the patriarch is now in control of the Department of Justice. They’ll never be investigated so long as they remain in office. The Chinese know this.

Fentanyl smuggling: Experts say a new drug war won't work : NPR
"Republicans first politicized the fentanyl crisis during the midterms last November, falsely linking drug smuggling with undocumented migrants.
Now Democrats, too, are calling on the Biden administration to do more to pressure Mexican officials to crack down on the cartels.
"We work with our Mexican friends with kid gloves on this issue, and it's fundamentally wrong," Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, said at a hearing on fentanyl last week. "I don't know how many more lives have to be lost for Mexico to get engaged."....
