How Much "Trump" Is The Right Amount Of "Trump" For Congressional Candidates To Use?
*by Nancy Ohanian* Yesterday, in relation to an unrelated post I was discussing with him, L.A. area Congressman Ted Lieu happened to mention that "The American middle class helped to create the greatest economy the world has ever known. However, misguided policies-- mostly driven by Republicans obsessed with tax cuts for the wealthy-- have hollowed out opportunity for Americans to enter the middle class and live out their fair share of the American dream. Hard-working Americans deserve an economy defined by strong wages, good benefits and retirement security-- we have governed this ... more »

CONFEDERATE STATUES HAVE MORE BACKING THAN YOU'D EXPECT
Hi, I'm back. Thank you again, Yastreblyansky, Crank, and Tom. *The Washington Post*'s Robert Costa and David Nakamura are describing President Trump's defense of Confederate statues as an effort to rally his base: President Trump on Thursday assumed the role of leading spokesman for the racially charged cause of preserving Confederate statues on public grounds, couching his defense in historical terms that thrilled his core supporters....

Leonard Peikoff Says That He Is Not A Philosopher
Leonard PeikoffMost Objectivists are convinced that Leonard Peikoff is one of the world’s greatest philosophers. But in his podcast on July 21st, 2008 (episode 22), Peikoff emphatically declares that he is not a philosopher and that philosophy is not an area of interest for him. Here’s an excerpt from a transcription of Peikoff’s podcast, episode 22 (4 minutes from start): “And the fact is that I'm not an epistemologist, let alone a technical one. The older I get, I realize I'm not a philosopher, and never really was. My real interest in life is cultural analysis. How does philosop... more »
The Health of Brand USA
With the Trump Administration taking a great deal of criticism for its policies, it begs the question; how has the American brand been impacted. In Pew's most recent versions of its Global Attitudes and Trends survey, we get a sense of how the public in many nations regard the United States, a view that is quite important in this time of endless criticisms of many nations by Washington. The poll was taken during the first quarter of 2017 and respondents were interviewed by telephone or with a face-to-face interview. Between 1000 and 1500 people in 37 nations took part in the surve... more »
Can You Be Fired For Being A Racist A**hole? Yes. Well, Maybe. Probably.

Some of those who have been outed were promptly fired. I've been asked whether firing someone for attending a racist rally is legal. The answer is yes. Well, maybe. Probably. There. Are you happy?

Revenge Of The Slimeballs - Part 4
*This is the fourth part of Chapter 3 of the book "Anomaly! Collider Physics and the Quest for New Phenomena at Fermilab". The chapter recounts the pioneering measurement of the Z mass by the CDF detector, and the competition with SLAC during the summer of 1989. The title of the post is the same as the one of chapter 3, and it refers to the way some SLAC physicists called their Fermilab colleagues, whose hadron collider was to their eyes obviously inferior to the electron-positron linear collider.* read more

Ritual Magic in Theory & Practice
The problem with magic as a meme is that it assumes a quite different relationship with what is simply the other side. The other side works to support us at our request so long as our intent is GOOD. When we choose to cross that line we are soon dealing with spirits that mean ill. Wrapping all this in a meme of magic really opens that door much too wide. A whole mythology has arisen in support of the meme of magic and it has been linked to power and sexuality and now even to satanic rituals in support of sexual perversion. this obviously cannot have a happy ending and is ob... more »
