THE INCOMPETENCE, THE INCOMPETENCE: We recalled Kurtz's famous cry!
*MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 2019The human monologues:* As late as this very morning, we didn't know where to begin. We'd returned, late Thursday night, to our sprawling campus in the heart of Maryland's 7th congressional district. Mister Trump had made the district famous during the time we were gone. During that same period, we'd witnessed an endless parade of human dumbness, not all of it during CNN's Democratic "debates." Even this morning, we'd still didn't know where to start! Finally, we decided we'd start with the first new thing we'd read. The column in question appears in this mo... more »
Edinburgh University Professor notes that the DR Congo Ebola epidemic curve is not one of a natural outreak
*Andrew Rambaut Professor of Molecular Evolution, University of Edinburgh, has noted that the epidemic curve of the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo does not match the pattern you would expect if it were natural. Namely, you would expect the number of cases to grow rapidly mainly in one place, the outbreak source.* *He has posted graphs which suggest that Ebola cases are constantly being introduced into the DR Congo population at different points to keep it going. The graphs resemble the very suspicious, unpredictable, random, fluctuating epidemic curves in West Africa in 2014.* *Per... more »
114 private jets gathered in Sicily to fight carbon emissions

Cheering A New Arms Race: The End Of The INF
There is bound to be an initial boost in expenditure and testing on weapons that would have otherwise been banned by the INF. A mini-arms race is in the offing: to each its degree of deserving lunacy. There will also be, if the views of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg are anything to go by, an increased emphasis on improving missile defences.
Kamala Harris Has 1 Big Weakness That Won't Be Easy to Dismiss
*Clark Neily* *Politics, * Did Gabbard expose a hard truth? During Wednesday night’s Democratic presidential debate, Tulsi Gabbard tore into Kamala Harris for her track record as a prosecutor in San Francisco and later as California’s Attorney General. The attack was sharp and effective, earning Gabbard an outsize share of the post-debate commentary. Its thrust was entirely fair, too, as any number of articles have demonstrated, including Lara Bazelon’s recent takedown in *The New York Times* titled Kamala Haris Was Not a Progressive Prosecutor. The real significance of Gabbard... more »

Forget Medicare For All: This Is How to Save America's Health Care System
*Genevieve Wood* *Society, * We have a plan. One thing most Americans agree on is that our health care system needs an overhaul. Some people believe the answer is more money from Washington and bureaucratic agencies making sure everyone is following the rules. Others suggest we should import the kind of government-run models they have in Europe and Canada. A third option would redirect our current system—putting patients and doctors in the driver’s seat, making health care providers and insurance companies compete for customers. As you weigh the options, here are a few basic ... more »
Why New York City Made a Big Mistake Saying 'No' to Amazon
*James Pethokoukis* *Economics, * An economic hit to the big apple? Technically, I guess, it was Amazon who rejected the Big Apple last February — deciding not to build a massive corporate campus in Queens and locating some 25,000 jobs there — rather than the other way around. (The company is still coming to Virginia, the other winner of its nationwide “search.”) But that cancelation of Amazon’s announced plans came after “an unexpectedly fierce backlash from lawmakers, progressive activists, and union leaders, who contended that the tech giant did not deserve nearly $3 billi... more »

Five simple questions that blow apart the official fake news narrative

Meanwhile, ubiquitous ads are still trolling for new clients, saying anyone who ... more »
Save democracy . . . with socialism?
I got an offer to review a book, ". . . the 2020 election is a key moment in the history of American democracy where the United States can choose to correct course, installing a new chief executive and legislators that will defend bedrock democratic ideals and freedoms, or it can travel further down the road of Trumpism . . ." I wonder what those bedrock democratic ideals and freedoms are? Freedom of religion? Free speech? Freedom of assembly? You can't find them in socialism, the ideology that killed 100,000,000 in the 20th century.

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A BETTER PRESS CORPS? (updated)
Why does NPR White House correspondent Franco Ordoñez have a job? Here's what he said yesterday on *All Things Considered* in response to a question about a possible White House response to this weekend's shootings in El Paso and Dayton: But the White House probably needs to take on the NRA. This is an issue. The NRA is a big supporter of Trump, and Trump has been a big supporter of the NRA. He once flirted with going against them after the Parkland shooting, but he kind of backed off. Another issue is that, you know, he has - he is likely going to have to take a more direct push on... more »

Lava Jato is a Criminal Organization, Says STF Justice Gilmar Mendes
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Justice Gilmar Mendes of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) criticized the Lava Jato operation and its members once again. In an interview to newspaper Correio Braziliense, released on Sunday, August 4th, the justice fired out: “Deep down, it’s a game of cronies.

Hong Kong - Update
On 5 August, Hong Kong protesters partially shut down the city. Protestors disrupted service on eight subway and rail lines and airlines canceled more than 200 departing and 100 arriving flights. In a press conference on Monday morning, Chief Executive Lam said the protests "challenge 'one country, two systems' and threaten Hong Kong's prosperity and stability". "The government will be resolute in maintaining law and order of Hong Kong and restoring confidence." This was a weekend of non-stop protests. After work on Friday, 2 August, government civil servants joined the protests, c... more »
How the SR-71 Spy Plane Was Born (Still the World's Fastest Plane)
*Dario Leone* *Security, * History. At Lockheed’s advanced development group, the legendary Skunk Works in Burbank, work on a revolutionary intelligence aircraft had already begun before the shooting down of Gary Power’s U-2. This innovative aircraft had to fly faster than any aircraft before or since, at greater altitude, and with a minimal radar cross section (RCS). President Eisenhower deeply valued the strategic benefits of the U-2’s airborne reconnaissance during these tense Cold War times. And now the call came from Lockheed’s customer in Washington to build the impossibl... more »

Facial Recognition Coming to Your Local Supermarket (and Everywhere Else)
Facial Recognition technology has been slowly drip fed into our everyday lives over the past few years. Our first major interaction with it was most likely in social media mobile apps like Facebook, which could cleverly identify pictures on the platform which were you, or friends of yours using the technology. Well, it didn’t stop … The post Facial Recognition Coming to Your Local Supermarket (and Everywhere Else) appeared first on OYE Alternative News.
Ed Reform Was Supposed To Crush Unions
Every once in a while I stumble on an old article from back in the days when some reformsters would just say certain parts out loud instead of trying to be subtle or dog whistly. Take this piece from April of 2014 by Terry M. Moe. It's an excerpt from his book* What Lies Ahead for America's Children and Their Schools*, and it's really, really clear what this Hoover Institute Fellow has in mind. Here's the subheading that pops up if you share a link to the article: *Real change won't come until we strip teachers unions of their power.* This frickin' guyThe arguments are familiar: Col... more »

"The Era of Revenge"
*"The Era of Revenge"* by Tim Knight "Given the title, I want to make clear at the outset that this post has nothing to do with gun violence, particularly prompted of the events of this weekend. I've been thinking about this post long before those events, and even though I am loudmouthed to a fault about my points of view, the whole issue of guns is something I've never, nor will ever, touch. No sense is alienating the handful of readers I haven't pissed off already. No, this is about something far more psychological and long-term. I am speaking of what I view is the correlation be... more »
England: Knife Crime Hits New Record High
Turns out that importing violent people is a bad idea and that this ramps up the violence from indigenous gangs in particular. Bye the bye, possession of a knife really needs to be properly thought out and certainly needs to be placed on the same level as a fire arm of any kind. In fact a knife is used in close contact and is a killing and cutting tool. It is a lousy defensive tool, because you will only use it in extremis and it forces you to close if you want to survive. If you can stand off, you can run. A firearm allows you to back off. . . *England: Knife Crime Hi... more »
Massive Avian Cryptid Observed in Lihi, Utah
This is an extraordinary expert eye witness report that also produces a rigorous comparable. The Sandhill crane is well known and similar in size to an eagle and our Thunderbird came in and snatched it directly out of the air. The description suggests a Stellar sea Eagle as well. It is abundantly clear that we simply do not see these birds, or if seen, they are far away at an indeterminate distance naturally confounding sizing observation. We easily have plenty of sightings but few secure sizings. At a distance it is way too easy to assume it is a golden eagle. My own sigh... more »
Approaching 9/11’s 18th Anniversary
It is not difficult to figure out what happened on 9/11 once you overcome the pure shock and awe of it all. The evidence tells us only one story. It is a story that we are to pretend is not true as loyal citizens. Remember that. Literally millions now know the truth about 9/11. Perhaps even a third of the population. This cannot be a secret, but we can all pretend it is a secret. The guilt involved is horrendous. That is the ghost rattling around the chanceries of the world. I do think that it needs to be formerly disclosed, but we also now live in a world of such disclos... more »
Harvard study says an inch of silica aerogel could make patches of Mars liveable
This is really interesting although this must mean that the gel must be suspended on a strong support structure. That is possible. However, an inch thick is a lot of material. That alone may well make this completely impractical. What it should allow is architectural windows on above ground buildings that have a contained atmosphere. That will be helpful. I do think though that we need to build underground for most of our infrastructure. *Harvard study says an inch of silica aerogel could make patches of Mars livable* *Michael Irving* *July 15th, 2019* *A Harvard tea... more »
