The US Constitution has never been amended to allow anyone other than Congress to coin and regulate currency. So what’s the Federal Reserve?

Scaling Up Personalized [sic] Education
Creating a personalized education program presents many challenges. It presents even more challenges if you want your delivery system to be a computer. And it presents even bigger problems if you intend to scale it up. The dream for many education reformers is not just to come up with a new system, but to manufacture a new system that can scale up and reach a broad market. Personalizing education for a single student requires a great deal of work and it can be hugely beneficial for that student-- but it's not very profitable.

The Supreme Court: The Dog that Didn't Bark
[image: undefined] The furor over the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh is spurring many commentators to bewail that the Supreme Court has become too powerful. But the real problem is that the Court is now often little more than a fig leaf to provide legitimacy for a Leviathan that would have mortified the Founding Fathers. The Court’s betrayal of its constitutional role has vastly increased the stakes for the current and any future Justice nomination. Kavanaugh’s owes his credibility as a nominee to the Supreme Court dodging key issues in recent decades. Kavanaugh worked as a White Ho... more »

*Again: Their own figures contradict global Warmists* I have on a few occasions mentioned that global warming was demonstrably wrong from the outset. The theory was that after WWII there was a big expansion of industry worldwide that pumped lots of CO2 into the atmosphere and that the earth warmed as a result of that. But what actually happened would almost be enough to convince one that God opposes Warmists. Let me go over that again before I go on to a new hole in the theory. Yes. On theory, more CO2 should produce more warming. Yes. There was a great rise in CO2 output in th... more »

3 Reasons the World Should Fear China's Military: Aircraft Carriers, Missiles and Stealth

This new range would create a weapons with enough reach to cover all of Taiwan, the Senkaku Islands, and parts of the South China Sea, the review says. Aircraft carriers, stealth fighters, anti-satellite weapons, drones, cyber attack technology and a growing arsenal of ballistic missiles are all among a series of Chinese weapons said to present serious concerns for Pentagon leaders and wea... more »

O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I no... more »

Thompson, “The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman” "Alone" does *not* mean "lonely"...
