With journalistic standards like these...

PolitiFact readers wrote in with their comments about our coverage of immigration, our fact-checking of former President Donald Trump and a debunk of the cemetery mail truck hoax.

Brian Stelter, CNN chief media correspondent and host of Reliable Sources, got his start in journalism at a young age. At just 8 years old he would call up the local news station after a blizzard to report how much snow he had measured in his yard. Later, as a freshman at Towson University, he started a blog tracking the cable news industry, which quickly became a must-read website for those in the media and helped him land a job at The New York Times upon graduation. He joined David to talk about his lifelong interest in media; the impact of losing his dad at a young age; and the symbiotic relationship between the Trump administration and Fox News, the topic of Brian's new book, Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth.

Die NPD wird vom Bundesverfassungsgericht nur als verfassungswidrig bezeichnet, aber nicht verboten. AfD-Rechtsausleger Höcke suhlt sich in Anspielungen auf die Sportpalastrede von Hitlers PR-Chef Dr. Joseph Goebbels ("Reichsminister für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda"). Andrej Holm ist inzwischen weder Staatssekretär noch Mitarbeiter der Humboldt-Uni.

Aber auch eine gute Nachricht können wir vermelden: Die Lage erscheint diesmal schon am späten Freitag ...

Trotz der kalten Welt ein schönes Wochenende und einen guten Start in die neue Woche wünschen euch

The hits just keep coming from Louisiana's governor-elect,
signaling major and welcome changes from the policy path of the current chief
executive.

Yesterday,
Republican Atty. Gen. Jeff Landry
announced that he would appoint Aurelia Skipworth Giacommetto as head of the
state's Department of Environmental Quality. Giacommetto served as the director
of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under Republican Pres. Donald
Trump, is trained as a biologist and lawyer and has extensive experience
working in the chemical and public policy areas. As with all gubernatorial
appointees prior to receiving Senate confirmation, she will retain the job
unless the Senate doesn't vote to confirm her by the end of its 2024 regular
session.

The choice will discomfit the political left, because
Trump! In its bizarre worldview, anybody or anything having to do with Trump
not only is a terrible thing for mankind, it's entirely illegitimate within the
American political system. That's why it has loathed Landry, who Trump likes,
and this selection likely will be the first of many to work it into a lather.

In reality, Louisiana's DEQ, unlike state agencies
dealing with environmental concerns in some other states (witness Democrat
Pres. Joe
Biden's Environmental Protection Agency's Director Michael Regan
in his previous post), never has been captured by leftist environmentalism,
much less climate alarmism, not even under Democrat Gov. John Bel Edwards, so
there won't be much policy change. Giacommetto's appointment won't work up
leftists as much as what Landry said about her appointment.

Landry made clear that in his administration no
favoritism would be played by state government policy-making, at least insofar
as emanating from his office, in picking winners and losers among energy
providers. This markedly differs from the creed of climate alarmists like
Edwards, whose faith dictates that any energy source not renewable, particularly
fossil fuels, be shunned because those forms that release carbon, methane, or particular
other gasses allegedly cause – even if real world data never have demonstrated this
– too much climate warming.

Indeed, Landry pledged that not only discrimination
against the state's fossil fuel industry would stop but also he would do what
he could to support it, to the point that it doesn't contribute to actual
degradation of the environment. This also runs counter to the alarmist creed
that government must bend over backwards at any cost to taxpayers put its thumb
on the scales to favor renewable sources, if not punish all others, because climate
emergency!

His full-bore defense of a more
scientifically-derived understanding of the place of fossil fuels in public
policy and Giacommetto's selection seemed to flummox the news corps attending
the announcement, who Landry had to coax into asking questions. After a few
seconds hesitation and a prompt, he was asked about whether he would continue the
Edwards crusade for carbon neutrality. Landry noted the evidence showed that kind
of unrelenting emphasis and its associated costs and economic disruption was economically
destructive, especially for the working class.

So that would be a negatory. He answered another
question signaling his rejection of any power
portfolio mandating use of renewables.

Not that this comes as any surprise. Last week, at
the final
meeting of Edwards' Climate Initiatives Task Force – his method of trying
to go around the Legislature as best he could that issued a garbage-in-garbage-out
report that formed the basis of executive actions he undertook to implement
as best he could as limited as it was the climate alarmist creed – it devolved
into a weird combination of elegy, obituary, wishful thinking, and updates on plans
largely to waste federal dollars already in the pipeline. Expect Landry to
ignore, if not retract, any of Edwards' executive actions that allowed this to
exist and any actions taken related to its work products.

This is the agenda that will send leftist elites into
a tizzy. It's also the agenda that will aid Louisianans, outside of ideologues
and rent-seekers latched onto the catastrophic anthropogenic global warming
hoax, to prevent wasting tax dollars and reducing the quality of their lives.
And promises much more of the same kind of relief in other policy areas as
Landry rolls out more of his agenda.

This is a draft oped. It didn't make it as events in Israel are now consuming attention. But sooner or later we need to elect a president and live with the results. I went light on the economics, but you can see the basic game theory of the analysis. It amplifies some comments I made on Goodfellows. **** If, as it appears, the election will come down to Trump vs. Biden, the US is headed for a constitutional crisis, and the social, and political chaos that implies. Like prisoners of the economists' dilemma, there seems no easy way out. Whichever wins, the others' partisans will pronounce the president to be fundamentally illegitimate. In turn, Illegitimacy justifies and emboldens scorched-earth tactics, more norm-busting and institution-destruction.If Biden wins, Trump supporters will see an official Washington, especially its justice system, enmeshed in presidential politics. They remember Hilary Clinton's laptop, the Russia collusion hoax, and endless investigations. Now they see sprawling indictments for process and paperwork crimes, that nobody else would be charged for.  They see a Washington-media-intelligence cabal censoring news, from censorship of Covid policy dissenters — who turned out to be largely right — to the Hunter Biden laptop story just before the last election. See the scathing Missouri V. Biden. And they see the Family Business. Sure, Biden, like so many in public office who somehow end up with millions in family wealth, likely has enough lawyers and shell companies to avoid provable illegality.  But illegality is not the issue. Trump supporters will see the stench of the swamp, secret email accounts, the reins of power covering up the embarrassing facts. If Trump wins, Democrats will go ballistic. Democrats have refined de-legitimization for decades. Trump's denialism was almost comical in its incompetent emulation. Recall Bush derangement syndrome, continuing claims that the 2000 election was  stolen or decided by a corrupt court; Stacey Abrams, the #resistance, #not my president. But it's all worse now. Though Democrats express themselves in legalisms, in the end they feel that Trump's actions after the last election amount to a nearly treasonous violation of his oath of office to defend the Constitution.(Before you start yelling your side's spin, take a breath. Yes, you see things differently, but how will they see things, no matter you loud you yell? How will they act? That's what matters.)Our next election is likely to be chaos, enhancing the voices claiming illegitimacy. The election will be close. There will surely be a nationwide legal battle. Every questionable vote, every smudged postmark, every local decision to stretch a ballot deadline, every change in procedures will end up in court. Losing Democrats will cry "racist voter suppression." Losing Republicans have gotten good at even more fanciful stolen election claims. If the election is decided by courts, heaven help us. The Democrat's efforts to de-legitimize the Supreme Court are already well under way. Media now routinely refer to every federal judge by the president that appointed him or her, not, say, by the school they went to or their most famous decisions. Large swaths of the population will tell themselves that the election was stolen. With No Labels and Kennedy in the fray, it is possible that the election will come down to many ballots in the electoral college. Having tried to de-legitimize Trump for losing the popular vote in 2016, will democrats accept an electoral college result if the popular vote is 40-30-30? Will Republicans? It is possible that the electoral college fails, and the Presidency is decided by the House of Representatives, itself chaotic and under a razor-thin majority. Our Constitution brilliantly prescribes fail-safe procedures to produce a decision. But it only works only if people accept that decision. With so many already opining that the electoral college is an illegitimate anachronism, and with the House in such chaos and low esteem, will losers calmly accept the results of the Constitutional mechanism?Widely believed, and more widely spun illegitimacy justifies horrendous behavior. You can tell the Jan 6 rioters were play-acting by how unserious they were. People who really believe an election was stolen bring tanks. Widespread violent protests are easy to foresee. Widely perceived illegitimacy leads to constitutional crisis and chaos. People will simply disregard presidential actions, action by his appointees, and court orders. They will violently resist attempts to enforce government actions. How do we avoid this mess? There is a lot of hope that one or the other party will blink, and choose a vaguely sensible candidate who will then sweep the general election. But candidates are chosen by primaries, a "democratic" reform we may wish to rethink. (Old men in smoke filled rooms, desiring to win a general election, would never have picked these two.) It's not so easy. And even a reasonable candidate will only postpone the deeper question: Why is attacking the legitimacy of elections, institutions, and the courts gaining in strength? It is a scorched earth policy — ruin the institution to gain temporary advantage. The answer seems clear: The rewards of winning and the costs of losing are now too great. Narrowly, each of Trump and Biden could well end up in jail if he loses, a situation familiar in, say, Pakistan, but so far undreamt of in the US. Avoiding that is worth a lot of scorched earth. More broadly, winning an election now confers the power to rule by executive order. It confers power over administrative fiat, the power to shower billions on supporters, control of the regulatory machine that lines up corporate support, the power to censor the internet, and the power to hound your opponents and their supporters through the intelligence and judicial system. Losing graciously is a less and less viable option. Democracy isn't so much about who wins elections. Democracy requires the ability to lose elections, admit the legitimacy of the loss, but live on to regroup and win another day. Only when the power of the winners to impose immense changes with narrow majorities is constrained can losers do that.
