Radio 4 Sunday's immigration special: A masterclass in bias
If it's still the case that "*Radio 4's Sunday* programme offers perhaps the most undiluted liberal bias to be found anywhere on the BBC", then every klaxon in the country should have sounded at the news that today's edition was going to be an immigration special. The bias was off-the-scale today. William Crawley's introduction announced the "controversial" subject by featuring a clip from a *Sunday* report about most of the congregation at a church in Stoke upping and leaving after the vicar opened a refugee support hub there. The clip consisted of a woman wagging her finger at ... more »

Philosophy Cannot be Obtained from Pure Logic
Peter AbailardEtienne Gilson, in his book *The Unity of Philosophical Experience*, (Chapter 1, “Logicism and Philosophy”), says that the philosophy of the Middle Ages was mainly an endeavor to solve one problem—the problem of the Universals. He talks about Peter Abailard, the logician of the Middle Ages, who philosophized extensively on the problem of the Universals, but was unable to find a solution to the problem and ended up being mired in skepticism. According to Gilson, Abailard’s mistake was that he used logic to answer a philosophical question (which is the question of the U... more »

America's Mad Scientists Wanted to Use Nuclear Power to Create Tunnels in a Shocking Way
*Steve Weintz* *Security, * In the 1970s, Los Alamos National Laboratory explored a science-fiction approach to tunneling: using nuclear power to literally melt holes through rock and turn the melted rock into tunnel lining. Digging out deep underground complexes or undersea bases could be expedited the Atomic way, in an alternate universe where the wildest ideas of the 1950s, 60s and 70s came to pass.

The district has-- by far-- the longest border with Mexico (over 800 miles) of any district in America. It stretches from the outskirts of San Antonio to the outskirts of El Paso and is over 70% Hispanic. Trade with Mexico is at the heart of the district's economic activity, so you can imagine that Hurd, a very conservative Republican, is a passionate ... more »

*National Interest:* *Warnings From Eurasia* *Perhaps the globe will muddle through the coming crises—and avoid major disasters—but perhaps not.* One of the major blind spots in how the U.S. national security apparatus responds to and formulates policy for issues that arise across the Eurasian heartland is how the American government has chosen to bureaucratically define the region.

These war-winning weapons stemmed Nazi attacks from the gates of Moscow to Tunisia and the Battle of the Bulge, and swarmed in their thousands to surround and eliminate the Wehrmacht’s ground f... more »
