A group of Muslim activists is stepping up to help in the wake of the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday. One day after the shooting, the group has raised more than $50,000 (and counting) through a crowdfunding campaign to help the victims of the shooting and their families.

Donald Trump did more than just play the victim-blaming game after Saturday's horrific synagogue shooting. He also abandoned an umbrella as he climbed aboard Air Force One. In a clip that quickly went viral, Trump is seen walking up the stairs leading to his presidential jet, umbrella in hand. As he reaches the door, Trump's hand drops lower and lower until the umbrella is scraping the floor. Sec

Everyone knows President Donald Trump has a complicated relationship with the truth. But he flat out lied Saturday evening to justify moving forward with a campaign rally mere hours after 11 people were shot to death in a Pittsburgh synagogue.

The Rules of Exposition

I wrote one the other day for my econ blog . The topic was "demand deposits". Reviewing it the next day, I paused to double-check the definition of the term. Google says a deposit of money that can be withdrawn without prior notice. You know, like your checking account. Among the results, I found a link to What is the difference between a checking account, a demand deposit account, and a NOW (nego
I am rooting like mad for British Columbians to vote in favour of switching our voting system to proportional representation when the referendum gets underway Oct. 22. But I'm nothing if not a realist, and thus quite worried that people's resistance to change - especially when it requires taking time to understand something that appears dull and technical on the surface - will doom yet another ra

A Different Perspective

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 la
Robert O. Dean, the retired Army Command Sergeant-Major, and the man behind the tale of “The Assessment,” has died. Dean burst onto the UFO stage after his retirement from the Army. He told the tale, in several versions, as to how, as a senior NCO in NATO, he had been handed a copy of a document labeled “Cosmic Top Secret.” According to him, while on duty l A somewhat pensive Robert Dean. ate one
Here’s something that is a little frightening for those of us who accept the idea that some UFO sightings represent alien spacecraft visiting Earth. We have a list of cases, even if we don’t mention it, that seem, on their face, to be inexplicable. They have some form of instrumentality involved which means we are not relying on the observations of the witnesses. Ed Ruppelt One of these cases is
I have complained in the past that I am becoming less than thrilled with the UFO community. The reasons for this are varied but come down to a couple of basic ideas. One of those is that no matter how often a case is proven to be a hoax, a misidentification, a misinterpretation, or an inability to recognize the mundane, there are those who will argue the point forever. A recent post was partially
It has taken awhile, but I have now been able to follow up on the tale originally told to us by Kevin Ashley, as told by someone he knew. To briefly recap, Ashley said that he was talking about the Socorro UFO landing when another man entered the conversation, suggesting that this was an experiment by either staff or students at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. They had launched
Just a couple of things to clear up after the season finale of Treasure Quest . Just a couple of questions that I have about the show, or a couple of comments about what we saw. First, if I understood it right, one of them mentioned they had spent two months in the wrong place. They had talked to the last man living who had actually looked for the treasure and he told them that he thought it was

This includes Southeast Asia where Washington is busy at work crea
