Supreme Court Justice Samuel: ‘CO2 is not a pollutant
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito: ‘Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant’ *Alito: 'A pollutant is a subject that is harmful to human beings or to animals or to plants. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Carbon dioxide is not harmful to ordinary things, to human beings, or to animals, or to plants. It’s actually needed for plant growth. All of us are exhaling carbon dioxide right now. So, if it’s a pollutant, we’re all polluting.'* Via: http://www.scotusmap.com/posts/2 H/t Marc Morano

A Look At How Mongolia Went Bust
*Bloomberg Editorial:* *How the World's Fastest-Growing Economy Went Bust* Not so long ago, Mongolia was the world's fastest-growing economy. Now, by nearly every metric, it's in a dire fix. Its debt has surged, its currency has plummeted, and its budget deficit has widened alarmingly. Foreign investment has dried up and economic growth all but ceased. Even the poor antelope are beset by plague. Making matters worse, some staggering bills are coming due. The government, along with a state-backed development bank, is on the hook for more than $1 billion in maturing bonds over the n... more »

America's always had black inventors – even when the patent system explicitly excluded them
Shontavia Johnson, Professor of Intellectual Property Law, Drake University at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 2 hours ago
Thomas L. Jennings became the first black American patent holder in 1821. America has long been the land of innovation. More than 13,000 years ago, the Clovis people created what many call the “first American invention” – a stone tool used primarily to hunt large game. This spirit of American creativity has persisted through the millennia, through the first American patent granted in 1641 and on to today. One group of prolific innovators, however, has been largely ignored by history: black inventors born or forced into American slavery. Though U.S. patent law was created with color... more »

Trump's border plan for Canada? So far, not a wall
Stéfanie von Hlatky, Assistant Professor of Political Studies and Director of the Centre for International and Defence Policy, Queen's University, Ontario at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 3 hours ago
President Donald Trump has said little about the world’s longest undefended border – the one between the U.S. and Canada. Trump barely addressed the issue at his first meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Feb. 13 in Washington. Although Trudeau’s vision of openness and diversity may conflict with Trump’s vision of “America First,” the leaders parted ways with an amicable handshake. The two leaders have different views on their borders. While Trudeau announced that Canada is open to the world’s refugees, Trump has focused the world’s attention on the U.S.-Mexico b... more »

Crime and punishment should go together and not be separated by years of delay. In the fairly recent past trials were heard much more ... more »

A few weeks ago, PPP polled Milwaukee County voters. Keep in mind that Wisconsin went very narrowly for Trump in November (after their primary choices-- Bernie for normal people and Cruz for Republicans-- were eliminated. Bernie beat Hillary in the Wisconsin primary 567,936 (56.6%) to 432,767 (43.1%) and Cruz beat Trump 531,129 (48.2%) to 386,370 (35.1%). In November Trump won Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes 1,409,467 (47.9%) to 1,382,210 (46.9%)-- on percentage point. Even more surprising, right-wing extremist Ron Johnson was reelected to the Senate over Russ Feingold 50.2% to 46... more »

Big Pharma and Big Profits: The Multibillion Dollar Vaccine Market
[image: Vaccines-Profits] So far, vaccine therapy is itself pretty sound. What is troubling is the add ins used to preserve and otherwise assist the product. Those have caused real trouble and serious injury. Solving that problem needs to be a priority. Again the short cut is to limit application to local hot spots as a temporary measure until that problem is sorted out. Otherwise the industry is globalizing and we can expect almost all such diseases to be finally wiped out or at least contained. We can live with that. . *Big Pharma and Big Profits: The Multibillio... more »
A “Mini Ice Age” Is Coming Soon Says Math Professor’s Solar Cycle Model That’s 97% Accurate
My own intuition regarding our climate future is that we are far more at risk for a sharp decline that any rise. After all the CO2 conjecture has been thoroughly refuted by the past twenty years of data collection. Or more simply, a conjecture based on a recent anomaly from twenty years ago and based on a century's accumulation of CO2 must then respond in the next twenty years or be simply absurd. It is absurd.That put us back at accepting the sun as our primary climate driver. What an idea? The problem was understanding the Little Ice Age. this work is quietly putting that ... more »
Not ‘Lone Wolves’ After All: How ISIS Guides World’s Terror Plots From Afar
The whole problem outlined here begins in the way in which Islam is taught. It politicizes rather than promotes spirituality. That process must be interrupted and changed. It may well mean a forced reducation of all teachers and close monitoring. Better yet made such fascist doctrine a criminal enterprise. That will ultimately happen but only after much bloodshed. The knowledge is out there and we must as a society act on it as we did to end NAZISM. . *Not ‘Lone Wolves’ After All: How ISIS Guides World’s Terror Plots From Afar* *By RUKMINI CALLIMACHIFEB. 4, 2017* * http... more »
The Secret Privilege by Which the Military Intelligence Complex Retains Control
This is of course the BIG problem. It has created a black hole of public knowledge which presently hides a whole Space Fleet along with most of its operating budget and as many as ten thousand personnel including those we can easily identify on the ground. Pretty neat trick. Except that the president has no need to know. The last one to be properly briefed was Reagen / Bush and they took their time there. It led to the mobilization of the Star Wars research program. Great cover story. Just forgot to tell us that they actually had gravity control. With no actual authority ... more »

Valentine's Day - Best Way to a Man's Heart!
I didn't know precisely how to handle this particular day on my blog. Since this is the day when men can't do anything quite the way they are expected to, the best practice is usually to lay low and wait for the general anger to subside in a few weeks. The roses are never quite so fresh as they might be, the card never as sweet and as loving - the pre-printed words that look fine to us guys - so we sign the bottom - are never sufficient. The restaurants are packed and the prices are raised in anticipation of the day. Let me delve into the granularity of your defeat: - If you b... more »

Archaeologists have been excavating it since the late 1800s and have discovered a number of important artifacts from the Upper Paleolithic era. In June 2005, they announced an interesting discovery.

What's sauce for the racist goose is not sauce for the racist gander
What would happen to a white politician who said that "black skin is sub-humxn."...."Black ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual"? The media would scream RACIST and hound them until they were forced out of public life. This would happen in the USA, in the UK where the BBC would lead the attacks, and of course in ever so politically correct Canada.

In what sense Greene's causality hovering slinky explanation is right
I woke up, read some comments, and understood how to read Greene's explanation of the slinky behavior in the previous blog post so that it isn't self-evidently wrong. In fact, it's strictly right given some natural understanding and parameterization. An effective partial differential equation describing certain variables in the falling slinky does resemble a wave equation with a very low "speed of signals" which is why I think it's right to apologize for the overreaction. Sorry, Brian, your comment may be read so that it conveys a true statement. Every point of the slinky is indeed ... more »
