Such groups must never be pampered and supported because once they become politically powerful, they will bring incurable suffering to every community in the nation.

The 'Egg Beater': How The Sikorsky R-4 Gave Rise to Nearly Every Modern Helicopter

Peter Suciu at The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * The modern military helicopters—from the UH-60 Black Hawk to the AH-64 Apache—can all be traced back to the Sikorsky R-4 and its prototypes, which had earned the nickname “The Egg Beater.” In the world of military hardware, the “first” new innovation can influence nearly everything that follows.

The trouble with principles

Andrew Koppelman at Balkinization - 3 hours ago
The Supreme Court's decision in Bostock v. Clayton County protects LGBT people from employment discrimination, but not discrimination in housing or public accommodations. A federal statute ought to pass Congress easily. It won't, because people mistakenly think that both discrimination and religious liberty are matters of principle about which no compromise is possible. That misunderstands the role of principle. I explain in a new piece at The Hill, here. (I will be responding to the symposium on my new book in the next day or so.)
