~This month marks The Mark Steyn Club's seventh birthday, and I thank profoundly all those First Fortnight Founding Members who've opted to sign on for an eighth year. We hope, as the days proceed, that our First Month Founding Members will want to do the same.
~I don't have anything to say about the death of the President of Iran, except that I was struck by the curious detail that he and his Azerbaijani counterpart had been opening two new dams.

Pretty much sums up the DIFFERENCE between the West (Globalists and Neocons) and the BRICS. The leaders of the West (answering to the Globalists and Neocons) are hell-bent on societal suicide, while the leaders of the BRICS are pushing ahead to help their people.
Tear down a dam.
Plug in a Tesla.
What could possibly go wrong?
