Trump starts Operation Warp Speed to develop a China virus vaccine
After the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor the massive industrial might of American was turned from making consumer goods to making tanks and planes. Trump has announced an obviously ambitious program, on the order of the Manhattan Project which developed the first nuclear warhead, to produce a vaccine for COVID19. Perhaps due to the recent standing up of the Space Force the program is called "Operation Warp Speed". Historically the chances of delivering hundreds of millions of vaccine doses by the end of the year would have been small due to the technology used to produce th... more »
Pandemic: Protecting Public Health And The Right To Free Speech And Assembly
New Yorkers are allowed and encouraged to go out in the street with masks and stay at least 6 feet apart, as long as it is to stand in line to go shopping or to sit in a park, but if they are adhering to those requirements and they say something about an issue of public concern (similar to what members of Reclaim Pride did) that speech will make the speaker subject to arrest on the specious basis that speech is a public health risk. Banning that speech/protest while permitting the same activity without speech is unconstitutional. The president of the Sergeants Benevolent Associati... more »

These militias have stormed the Michigan state legislature, interrupted business, and, as of this week, shut down the government of Michigan for fear of possible violence.

The Tiananmen Square massacre put an end to all opposition to the communist regime, and China became a politically stable country.

Why Do People Plead Guilty To Imaginary Crimes? (Part 2)
In 2002, Banks was a 16 year old living in sunny California and looking forward to a promising career as a football player. He also had an interest in a fellow student. Wanetta Gibson was a year younger, and in his words the two were “making out”, in reality, canoodling when, for some unfathomable reason, […] More The post Why Do People Plead Guilty To Imaginary Crimes?

Why Do People Plead Guilty To Imaginary Crimes? (Part 1)
There have been countless cases of people confessing to crimes they didn’t commit, including under torture or simply intense psychological pressure. Sometimes the psychological pressure isn’t that intense. History offers many examples. The witchcraft trials of the 1600s saw people, mostly women, confessing to crimes they had not only not committed but were clearly imaginary.

COVID-19 may be laying grounds for second American Civil War [Video]

Still King
Stephen Harper's ghost still haunts the Conservative Party. In fact, Michael Harris writes, it's still driving the Tory Bus: The CPC is supposed to be doing some soul-searching in the process of its 2020 leadership race. In 2017, the last time the party went searching for its soul, it came back with Andrew Scheer. The karaoke Stephen Harper. Again in 2020, they have headed straight back to the vacant parking lot of Harper’s political vision — the CPC as archly socially conservative, northern Republican, anti-environment, pro-oil and meaner than ever. The word is that, after the C... more »
The Best Eurovision Songs Ever
Among the devil's work wreaked by Coronavirus is the unhappy but necessary cancellation of this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Painful. And doubly so because the BC household were part of last year's boycott. In its stead, the BBC are offering three (count 'em) shows of Eurovision goodness taking us from early evening right into the middle of the night. Colour me excited. Among the offerings is its competition to determine the ultimate Eurovision song, as voted by the Great British public. Recent history has shown democratic exercises in this country have led to less than optimal ... more »
The censored voice of Aaron Ginn
Social media giants like YouTube, Google, Facebook and Twitter have attempted to silence or "correct fake news" about the virus and pandemic. Today's Wall St. Journal points out that some of those canaries in the coal mine were correct and the censors were just wrong. What if in 10 theories, 9 are half-baked, but 1 is just perfect. We know the media, both main stream and social, will attempt to destroy all 10. But isn't that what theories are for? "Aaron Ginn’s story is a cautionary tale that even well-intended censorship can overreach, suppressing the search for truth. Mr. Ginn, ... more »

“Modern sea-level rise linked to human activities, Rutgers research reaffirms” = Unmitigated Horst Schist!
This is unmitigated horst schist… The largest sea-level decline took place during the last glacial period about 20,000 years ago, when the water level dropped by about 400 feet.
