Are Military Courts Really Just Like Civilian Criminal Courts?
At the end of the last term, the Supreme Court decided in a 7-2 opinion that the high court exercises appellate jurisdiction over the United States’ military justice system—a system it says begins at the court-martial level, or trial level, through each Service’s Court of Criminal Appeals, up to the court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF), a tribunal with five president-appointed, Senate-confirmed civilian judges. The majority’s opinion in that case, *Ortiz v. United States* (argued and briefed as *Dalmazzi v. U.S.*), rests on its view that this “integrated court-martial syst... more »

Trump Is Perfectly Normal
Let me qualify that. Donald Trump is every bit as perfectly normal as the pathological soul-destroying capitalism which passes for democracy in our so-called free world.

Americans need to realize that the next war may very well be fought with data and information, rather than guns and planes, and come around to the idea that the battlefield is not a public space (like the seas or the air) but a private one, managed and controlled by private actors.

Brett Kavanaugh and the Starr Report: How Our Office Drafted the Impeachment Referral
Photo: The White House/Wikimedia Under independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr in 1998, I helped draft what came to be known as the Starr Report: a summary of “substantial and credible information ... that may constitute grounds for an impeachment,” which 28 U.S.C. § 595(c) then required us to send to the House of Representatives. One of my colleagues in that endeavor was Brett Kavanaugh, the D.C. Circuit judge President Trump has nominated to the Supreme Court. Over the past few days, a number of journalists have asked me about differences with Brett while we worked on the report. I... more »
Why the U.S. Needs Federal Data Privacy Legislation
“I Love Lucy” provides the central metaphor for a Brookings paper released today on what to do to protect privacy. It comes from the episode where Lucy goes to work wrapping candies on an assembly line. The line keeps speeding up with the candies coming closer together, and, as they fall farther behind, Lucy and her sidekick Ethel scramble harder to keep up. “I think we’re fighting a losing game,” Lucy says. This is what we face with data privacy in America today. It’s a losing game because we are in the midst of an information Big Bang far more dizzying than Lucy’s assembly line.... more »

Taking the low road
Border patrol agents say they are alarmed by the growing number of migrants illegally crossing the border with children – who are not their own – to avoid long-term federal custody. But never mind. It is fodder for the anti-Trump hysteria, food and fuel to keep the masses agitated. Yes, they know it's wrong, that it is hurting children, but it's working and they've sunk this low.

California's public sector unions, money, and politics
The California Political Review calculates the money taken in every year by public sector unions in that state, and shows how it gives those unions a powerful say in the running of the state. In the wake of the Janus ruling, it is useful to estimate just how much money California’s government unions collect and spend each year. Because government unions publicly disclose less than what the law requires of public corporations or private sector unions, only estimates are possible. * . . .* In summary, subject to the limitations in the available data and what appear to be reasonable ... more »

A Creepy Partisan Weasel of the First Order.
*The cockiness of Peter Strzok at Thursday’s hearing* is a reflection of the immunity that ruling-class mandarins enjoy in liberal Washington. He was testifying from the safety of the deep state and thus knew that he could lie his head off without consequence. How else to explain his unrepentant opening statement, with its blatant anti-Trump special pleading? The statement sounded like it had been written by Rachel Maddow, resting on the lamest and hackiest of MSNBC-style talking points, that “today’s hearing is just another victory notch in Putin’s belt and another milestone in o... more »

Natural Remedies for Dandruff and Dry Scalp
This is a good resource for what is an extremely common problem. The take home for us all is to wash our hair with a gentle soap in order to clean it. Actually the easiest is Palmolive dish soap with vinegar added if you are able to believe that. Then dab a little sesame oil onto the top of your scalp. The oil will migrate over your scalp and the odor will disappears almost immediately as well. Other oils work as well of course. the trick is to let a little bit go a long way as your scalp will also be producing and this add-in can simply support that as needed. I also susp... more »
Frigid polar oceans, not balmy coral reefs, are species-formation hot spots
[image: IMAGE] This is totally unexpected and is a great argument for the evolutionary pressure argument as the prime driver of speciation. A tropical reef provides a rich nurturing environment with scant evolutionary pressure. Thus we need to expect a lower level of speciation even if we have hundreds of species about. In the cold, it is always harsh and any arrival species will have to change. Unusual though. *Frigid polar oceans, not balmy coral reefs, are species-formation hot spots * *University of Michigan* *IMAGE: Map shows species-formation rates for marine fish gr... more »

"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think, the way they see themselves, the way they see the world, you can change the way people live their lives. That's the only lasting thing you can create." - Chuck Palahniuk
