SocraticGadfly: Top blogging of February

Top blogging of February

A few days late, but better than never. As normal, not all posts were written in February but these were the most read of last month. Older posts, as always, will be indicated.

No. 10? Actually March 1, but we'll count it. I called out John Mearsheimer for hitting a foul ball on Russia-Ukraine peace talks. (He continues to do so.)

No. 9? From last December, will Texas Rethuglicans really censure anybody? Unless we have a special election for a Texas Lege or Congressional seat, we won't find out until May 2026. (Strangeabbott gets to appoint somebody to fill the remaining portion of Glenn Hegar's term.)

No. 8? Going beyond David Schenck, presiding judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, I called for real judicial election reform, starting with replacing partisan elections with retention elections.

No. 7? I looked at Southwest Airlines first-ever layoffs.

No. 6? A mid-January Texas Progressives looked at Dustin Burrows' Texas House Speaker election, among other things.

No. 5? From the end of January, "Another ban at another Nazi subreddit" called out r/Texas and its mods for refusing to accept that leftists exist, and for remaining in its cocooned belief that anybody not a librul BlueAnon Democrap most be a Trump Train rider.

No. 4? Also from late January, about updating my blogroll. It's not done, and the original is still in place, too. Patience!

No. 3? My take on a semi-pissed Harvey Kronberg of Quorum Report.

No. 2? My skeptical take on Seymour Hersh claiming he's got the goods on a former CIA agent the US had inside the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

No. 1 with a bullet? My in-depth thoughts on Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod President Matthew Harrison mixing church and state and peddling lies and bullshit while so doing.
