To avoid Ohio’s publicly-funded childcare system from becoming an absolute disaster like Minnesota, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine issued a statement. We laud his leadership in doing so. The waste of tens of millions of taxpayer-dollars was — and who knows? — still likely going on in Minnesota is pathetic and all involved including the fraudsters and those in public service who neglected oversight should be fully prosecuted. Right, go ahead and chuckle now. The governor’s statement reads: “People are rightfully concerned about what is happening with state-funded childcare ...
Artificial intelligence is everywhere. The technology is being used to refine medicine, science, business and industry.

We are locked and loaded and ready to go.” The words lacked diplomatic subtlety, but the mullahs in Tehran got the message.

One great irony is that deposed Venezuelan socialist despot Nicolas Maduro sits in jail in New York City, where a new socialist mayor, inaugurated a few days ago, extols the “warmth of collectivism” rather than the “frigidity of rugged individualism.” No warm, cuddly collectivist has ever nor will ever perform a mission like rugged American individualists just pulled off in Venezuela, surgically extracting their oppressive leader from the midst of his capital, without a single American casualty.
