Collusion— Or Something Worse?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 hour ago
It would have been-- or at least *should* have been-- any sentient being to walk away from the Trump *NY Times* interview without 3 overarching thoughts, listed below in no particular order: 1- Wow, what a liar! 2- Wow, he’s senile! 3- Wow, he is totally obsessed with the Russian collusion! He’s also out of touch with any semblance of objective reality, but that combines all three of the other thoughts into one less specific trait which most Americans have been watching-- with alarm-- grow over the last year.

Particle Physics - the study of very small things and the mathematics that predicts them and how they make up everything is a hobby of mine and I'm not very good at it. The Standard Model lacks a graviton and possibly other particles, but the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN laboratories in Geneva, Switzerland in 2012 is included and it's one of the fundamental achievements in advancing the realm of Physics in the last 100 years. These are the legos of the universe. Everything is made of them. Are there smaller particles? Strings but we're still working on these. And while we'... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 3 hours ago
“Long before Stonehenge was built, well before the Dead Sea Scrolls were written, ancient artists painted life-sized figures on canyon walls in Utah, USA- but why? Nobody is sure. The entire panel of figures, which dates back about 7,000 years, is called the Great Gallery and was found on the walls of Horseshoe Canyon in Canyonlands National Park. *Click image for larger size.* The humans who painted them likely hunted Mammoths. The unusual fuzziness of largest figure led to this mural section's informal designation as the Holy Ghost Panel, although the intended attribution and socie... more »

Newspaper Editor Tackles AP Over Fake Trump News, Gets Runaround

Selwyn Duke at rss - 3 hours ago
[image: newspaper-editor-tackles-ap-over-fake-trump-news-gets-runaround] If you want to know why the term "fake news" is so often used, well, it’s because what it describes is so often disgorged. A great example is brought to us by small-town newspaper editor Frank Miele, who relates how an Associated Press story contained two clear falsehoods about President Trump.

Despite Setbacks, Liberty Will Prevail in 2018

Ron Paul at rss - 3 hours ago
[image: despite-setbacks-liberty-will-prevail-in-2018] Happy New Year! We always approach a new year with anticipation, hope, and also some worries. Last year was one of the strangest political years I have seen in some time. A new Republican president spent his first year pursuing more or less the same foreign policy as his Democratic predecessor and the Democratic Party spent the year looking under every rock in the US for a “Russian connection” or any other reason to see him impeached over it.

Why North Korea Is So Scared of America

Zachary Keck at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Asia* History gives us the key. *Most outside analysts are far more skeptical that the U.S. strategic bombing campaign had much impact on the course of the war. The political scientist Robert Pape argues that North Korea and China’s major concessions in 1951 were the result of the air campaign weakening their military forces’ ability to achieve their objectives (coercion by denial) rather than the strategic bombing (coercion by punishment). Many others have argued that air power’s most effective contribution to the Korean War was in the interdiction of... more »

How to Guarantee a War with North Korea

Ted Galen Carpenter at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Security, Asia* Once American military personnel die from an enemy offensive, it would be nearly impossible for a president to walk away from treaty obligations. As tensions flare on the Korean Peninsula, concerns mount about North Korea’s nuclear- weapons capability. Secretary of Defense James Mattis recently stated that, contrary to rumors and alarmist media reports, Pyongyang does not yet pose a serious threat to the American homeland. The same cannot be said, however, for the U.S. troops stationed in South Korea and Japan. Those tripwire forces have bec... more »

Will the Fed's Predictions for the American Economy Come True?

*Samuel Rines* *Economics, North America* [image: A screen displays the Dow Jones Industrial Average after the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in Manhattan, New York] 2018 could turn out to be an interesting year for the economy. At its final meeting of the Yellen era, the Federal Reserve raised rates. But that doesn't really matter. Everyone expected the Fed to raise interest rates, and it delivered. What made people nervous was future moves by the Fed. Specifically, how would the Fed react to tax reform? And the Fed answered by suggesting it would not attempt... more »

The Fight to Bring Back Corporate Cash

Christopher Whalen at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Christopher Whalen* *Economics, North America* [image: United States one dollar bills are seen on a light table at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington] The notion that lower corporate tax rates will lead to a repatriation of corporate cash and an influx of job creation in the United States is a complete nonsense. When the founders of the United States framed the American Constitution, one of the concerns that guided their work was the knowledge that popular democracy would eventually become an entirely commercial proposition.

"How Is One To Live..."

“How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions.

Like, "Can we leave now?" and "What the hell was this meeting for?" and "Where can I get a drink?" The gesture is supposed to indicate openness on the part of the speaker, I suppose, but if in fact you do ask a question, both the speaker and the audience will give you drop-dead looks.
