Pentagon is spending $1.25 Trillion annually on War
The Pentagon has the largest carbon boot print on Mother Earth. Cut the military budget. Use those funds to deal now with climate crisis. In its latest budget request, the Trump administration is asking for a near-record $750 billion for the Pentagon and related defense activities, an astonishing figure by any measure. If passed by Congress, it will, in fact, be one of the largest military budgets in American history, topping peak levels reached during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. And keep one thing in mind: that $750 billion represents only part of the actual annual cost of our... more »
Adam Silver Cut No Constitutional Corners
Unfortunately, however, O’Rourke, Warren and Silver demonstrate the tendency of too many progressives to cut constitutional corners, to despise and bully adversaries, and to practice theatrical but selective indignation about attacks on fundamental American principles, some of which they themselves traduce. Just what we did not need in our dispiriting civic life: additional evidence […] The post Adam Silver Cut No Constitutional Corners appeared first on Econlib .
Frank Schaeffer Dissects William Barr-- But Who Will Dissect Giuliani?
Who knew Trump Attorney General William Barr is a religious leader? Was there ever any reason to think so? Actually, there still isn't. The video of his speech above-- intercut with Frank Schaeffer's savage analysis of hat he's saying proves Barr isn't a religious leader, just a hack politician trying to stoke the flames of white evangelical grievence, exploiting their narrowness to help Trump win in 2020. Is this what an Attorney General does? To Barr, like to all the detritus left in the Trump circle, sees religion as nothing more than a tool to achieve his political ends. Lis... more »
Oct. 17: Canada is in danger
A reader said of my last blog that I obviously didn't proofread because I had a sentence near the top that had a word in error. That reader is right. I usually start a blog in late morning, and finish it around nine or ten in the evening. I end with a spelling check. But, as man of wearying age, I'm sometimes too lazy and too tired to proofread. Life is hell. ________________________________________________________________ Three elements in Canada's federal election have been largely ignored by our news media. One is the rise of the Boc Quebecois in Quebec. It's appeal to Quebec... more »
Since the financial crisis (2008)
5-6-2018 interview of Naomi Klein: Since the financial crisis (2008) the Fed has been unleashed. The US central bank has quite literally fabricated nearly $4.5 trillion in funds to buy bonds (assets) from the major private banks. It should be noted that those private banking institutions are members of the Fed system. The Fed then provides that money to the banks and the institution can then hold the funds in reserve or choose to sell their Treasury or mortgage bonds back to the Fed. The Fed’s playbook was then deployed across the world by other central banks. In particular, ... more »
Move Over Greta, Teenage Super Sleuths Catch NASA Concealing Exculpatory Data
On September 15th, we published an easy to understand experiment to prove CO2 doesn’t cause warming using NASA’s own data. An Easy High School Experiment to Debunk CO2 Driven Climate Change The experiment was devastating to the Climate Alarmist’s claims because it offered an experiment that even the most scientifically illiterate person could understand, and … Continue reading "Move Over Greta, Teenage Super Sleuths Catch NASA Concealing Exculpatory Data"
Only by an omnipresent sense of that which will be
* And* I urge that they then make an attempt throughout the coming days to heal the breach caused by their sense of separation—the separation of the individual from his true identity and hence from the Eternal One. In Him you live and move and have your being. Without Him you have neither life nor identity. Ask yourself this question: is it wise for you to pollute the divine Identity by the intrusions of self-will and self-indulgence?…Each time individuals have a failure and lament it, each time they have a problem and sorrow over it rather than commit it unto the Father, each ... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“An asterism is just a recognized pattern of stars that is not one the 88 official constellations. For example, one of the most famous (and largest) asterisms is the Big Dipper within the constellation Ursa Major. But this pretty chain of stars, visible with binoculars towards the long-necked constellation of Camelopardalis, is also a recognized asterism. *Click image for larger size.* Known as Kemble's Cascade, it contains about 20 stars nearly in a row, stretching over five times the width of a full moon. Tumbling from the upper right to lower left in the picture, Kemble's Cascade ... more »
"Have You Also Learned..."
"Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time?" That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future." ~ Herman Hesse, "Siddhartha"

Nonsensical Gravity
One isolated body suspended in space does not have a gravitational property since it takes the existence of a second body to exert a gravitational effect or force on the first body by definition. Therefore a single body cannot have … Continue reading →
