In Cleveland alone there are — as of the publication of this article — currently 45 kids listed as missing on the City of Cleveland’s Police webpage.

Sadly, Cleveland isn’t the only major city these days with an unexplained uptick in large numbers of kids gone missing...

Greens want electric cars — but not the things required to run them - By Glenn H. Reynolds
- Environmental activists have encouraged the increased use of electric vehicles without supporting the industries that are needed to build and charge them.
Or, it seems, the cars.
I noted last week in these pages how the people who want everyone to have an electric car in the garage have also been pursuing policies that, per the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s latest report, are likely to result in rolling blackouts this summer...

- In the decade since Obama announced his exercise in prosecutorial discretion, the country has been overrun with criminals and illegal aliens who benefited from that “discretion”...
