Something like a new Cold War is getting hotter even if the United States seems in confused retreat.

On Thursday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a new executive order that will make it harder for local officials to require face coverings, including in schools, and forbids the state from mandating vaccines.

As best I recall, the sequence of statements coming from the government and "experts" since the beginning of COVID-19 has gone something like this:

Who are the most dangerous purveyors of COVID misinformation?

We have always had them among us: fortune tellers, diviners, readers of palms, tarot cards, tea leaves, stars, horoscopes, discerners of animal entrails, calling on gods of wood and stone, and all sorts of other "seers" who have attempted to convince the gullible that they have the power to predict the future.

What do rocket strikes by Shiite militias in Iraq, ransomware attacks on targets in the U.S., and Russia's use of mercenaries on battlefields in the Middle East have in common?

It's seldom that conservatives get me frowning as much as regressive progressives do, but quite a few are arguing that people should not take coronavirus vaccines if they don't want to, and the frown is forming permanent wrinkles.

I have my doubts about America.

Retirement plans warn of a "penalty for early withdrawal." Might that also apply to the withdrawal of American and NATO forces from Afghanistan?

The latest cyberattack, apparently emanating from Russia again, has hit at least 20 software firms affecting at least 1,000 businesses.

The Biden administration has systematically abandoned the border security policies and immigration reforms that enabled the Trump administration to turn back the tide of illegal immigration.

Is there anyone who can say what is always right and always wrong and present an unchanging standard by which all behavior can be judged?

Garry Kasparov has a pithy way of summing up the past 18 months of tribulation.
