*USA Today op-ed ignores evidence to claim climate change had no role in Hurricane Florence* Under the above heading an article appeared which challenged an article by climate skeptic Roy Spencer. Spencer dismissed on various grounds any connection between storm Florence and global warming. The article is a rather complex piece of formatting so I am not going to reproduce it here but it is readily accessible here. I imagine Spencer will do his own reply to it in due course but, as a critique, it ranges from weak to hilarious so I thought I might make a few brief comments on it. ... more »
A New Study Declares U.S. Air Force Is In Serious Trouble
*Michael Peck* *Security, * "In a long regional conflict, the Air Force could only meet 62 of attack and 65 percent of strike requirements, but it could supply 92 percent of aerial tanker demand." Like a trucking company with too few trucks and too many deliveries, America's airpower is being overworked and under-maintained. Two recent studies by RAND Corp. and the Government Accountability Office paint a grim picture of U.S. airpower. The RAND study examined whether the U.S Air Force has the capacity to fight in four types of future conflicts: a new Cold War with Russia or Chin... more »

The sale will still have to be approved by Congress, though rejection is unlikely.

So much for cultural appropriation
This made me laugh out loud. My nephew Kyle came to live with us this summer after his freshman year of college. Apparently he’s now a deputized member of the cultural-appropriation police. He hadn’t even unpacked his massive bag of dirty laundry when he made a snide comment about the three straw hats hanging in our hallway collected during our years living in Southeast Asia. The next day when Kyle and I were backing out of the driveway and I called out “Adios” to my neighbor, Kyle mumbled, “Appropriate much?” But then the following Saturday, I overheard Kyle ask my wife if we had... more »
The Kavanaugh accuser
I saw an item at a pundit site that Christine Blasey-Ford, the 51-year-old woman who Dianne Feinstein found in the woodwork at the last minute, accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her as a teenager, has a brother Ralph who worked for a law firm that later retained Fusion GPS, the primary “fixer” for the Clintons and the DNC. That doesn't sound like much of a trail of crumbs to follow since it was over a decade ago, but you just never know; she's reaching back 35 years to solve a sexual problem with her husband. Maybe a lie detector test for him? Ohr's (Dept. of Justice)... more »

Space-Based Missile Defense Can Be Done
Interception is no small problem but can be done with a kinetic weapon. You would require multiple platforms packing an arsenal of tethered kinetic weapons with enough control to actually chase and intercept at extreme high speed. Explosive effects would be limited to producing a focused cloud of material but not even that unless very close. The speed is huge and any lateral movement by the target will allow evasion. Such movement every thirty seconds or so would be ample. Recall it still takes minutes to close the gap and the speed is such that adjustment becomes difficult ... more »
