Treasure Quest, Season Four, Spculation
I have been asked, a number of times, about the last episode of *Treasure Quest*. Though I would prefer to deal mainly with UFOs and other paranormal topics right now, I have reached a few conclusions about that show. If I have worked out the timeline correctly, the season just completed was filmed during our summer months in the northern hemisphere of 2017. That means that what we saw in those last episodes broadcast, ended with the beginning of the rainy season in November 2017. That means, that while we were watching what happened about a year earlier, those guys were back Quim... more »

Megyn Kelly has been given a hard lesson in how the left operates...

I don't think she's a racist (whatever the hell that is in today's world), and seeing the usual race baiters and hyper-sensitive grievance whores pushing each other out of the way to condemn her is typical of the commie/marxist/libtard way of operating.

Fukushima Daiichi Really Steamy Today

There was a magnitude 5.7 earthquake not too far from the plant yesterday: The cams suggest that the common spent fuel pool, featured in the foreground of this screenshot below, is the source or a source for the steam: It is not raining and the streets are dry at the Futaba int... more »
Is PAYGO The Messaging Pelosi Thinks The Democrats Can Win On?
Sometimes a political tent can get *so* big that it stops having any meaning at all.

AZ: Why Conservatives Should Oppose ESAs
Education Savings Accounts are the uber-vouchers, the last stop on the reformster railroad before we get to the place where schools simply disappear. ESAs come in a variety of flavors, but here is the basic idea. With charter schools, you can send your child to any school in the system, and tax dollars are sent to that school to cover the cost of educating your child. With a voucher system, tax dollars are given to you and you can use them at any school you wish to send your child to. With ESAs, you get some money, typically via a debit card, and you spend it on educational whatev... more »

So, just like that, faster than you can say "for the people," Ford has cancelled what amounted to a $2,000 annual pay increase that was headed for the pockets of the lowest-paid people. He's also cancelling the two paid sick days a year, even though 145 countrie... more »

*Jeff Schogol, Task and Purpose* *Security, * More problems? The trouble continues for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the aircraft with seemingly unlimited amounts of problems. - A “couple dozen” Marine Corps F-35Bs were grounded to repair two fuel tubes, Defense News and Marine Corps Times first reported on Thursday, the second time so far this month. - On Oct. 11, the Pentagon’s Joint Program Office that oversees the F-35 ordered all of the planes to suspend flight operations in order to replace a different fuel tube that was identified as a problem as part of an ongoing in... more »
This Russian Submarine Is the Biggest Threat to the U.S. Navy.
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * The United States Navy was already impressed with the original Severodvinsk, which is an older design that had been under construction since 1993 before eventually being commissioned into service in December 2013. *Though Severodvinsk—and her more modern sister ships like Kazan—are very capable submarines, Foggo had said, the U.S. Navy still retains an edge.* Russia’s second Severodvinsk-class submarine K-561 Kazan, which is a modified Project 08851 Yasen-M design, went to sea for the first time for builder’s trials on September 24. *(This first app... more »

It should also be noted that that there are plenty of people in Congress who are complicit in this plan. More than 100 lawmakers recently sent a letter to the secretary of defense pushing for the two-ca... more »

*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * So what happenned? *The Navy’s carrier air wings would have greatly benefited from an A-12-like capability had the program survived.* During the closing stages of the Cold War, the United States Navy was developing a new long-range stealth bomber that could strike at even the most heavily defended targets from the deck of an aircraft carrier. But the ill-fated program was cancelled; leaving a gap in naval aviation capability that has not been filled to this day. *(This first appeared earlier in the year.)* Called the McDonnell Douglas/General Dyn... more »
On the Bicameral Minds in Homer's Iliad
Julian Jaynes, in his book *The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind*, presents his theory that consciousness is a learned process which mankind developed about 3000 years ago.

Before human beings developed consciousness, they had a bicameral mind, in which, according to Jaynes, the right cerebral hemisphere talks to the left cerebral hemisphere.

*Bombs* - I have a few problems with the bombs recently sent to famous Democrats. (1) In the photos I have seen on media, the stamps are not canceled. Which is very suspicious and suggests that they were not passed through the post office. (2) None of the devices detonated. If they'd been sent by Republicans to Democrats, I suggest that they would have.

Mount Sandel - Mesolithic Settlement in Ireland The Oldest Identified Archaeological Site in Ireland
What is interesting is that humans imported red deer after the Mesolithic.

The same husbandry was also introduced into Georgia and its mining as well at around the same time which also coincides with copper mining in Lake Superior.

186 Air Force F-22 Raptors Isn't Enough. And a Hurricane Just Proved Why.
*Michael Peck* *Security, * [image: The 27th Fighter Squadron at Langley Air Force Base was the first squadron to receive the F-22.] And there is no easy way to fix it. Sometimes you need a strong wind to lay bare the consequences of folly. Hurricane Michael did more than devastate the Southeast coast, including Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, home of a squadron of F-22 Raptor stealth fighters, and center of F-22 training. It also showed that when you only buy 187 of an aircraft, it doesn't take much to shrink your force. As many as seventeen Raptors—almost 10 percent of the f... more »

Greg Hunter, “Weekly News Wrap-Up 10/26/18”
*“Weekly News Wrap-Up 10/26/18”* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com “There have been nearly a dozen so-called bombs sent to top Democrats around the country mainly on the east coast. None of them were detonated. I say “so-called” because police are reporting that many of the bombs “could not have exploded.” White powder sent with some of the packages also turned out to be harmless. What gives? Law enforcement is treating this as a real threat, as they should. They are going to get to the bottom of this. Is this an attempt by an idiot wacko to hurt people, or is this an attempt by d... more »
Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Submitted for your disapproval, a graphic, sourced from the *Washington Post*, and a congressional head count, that shows just how representative our so-called representative democracy is not. Not that any of this is at all shocking; the original idea of the Founding Fathers called for only landed white men and no women at all having voting rights, but that was a very different reality of over 200 long years ago, as much as some would like to go back to it. The thing is, though, that while we acknowledge the reality is now somewhat different, we still haven't caught up t... more »
K3 metrics from counting in little string theory
I think that we are seeing another example of the day when the best new hep-th preprint is the first one. Although the ordering of the papers may look pointless to you and you could consider the fights to be at the top to be childish pißing contests, many authors – including some very mature and brilliant ones – are likely to place their good paper at the top because they're proud and they do some careful timing work to be at the top. To check this theory, I looked at the timing of the paper K3 metrics from little string theory by Kachru and Zimet (Stanford) and Tripathy (Harvard ma... more »
