CVS Covid Test Worse Than No Test at All

Jim Horn at Schools Matter - 6 hours ago
I was pretty sure I had Covid on Saturday, July 11, but the first test I could schedule was at a CVS Pharmacy July 13. The next best time was July 14 at Complete Health Partners, an emergency medical clinic nearby. I scheduled them both out of caution and self-isolated myself in an upstairs bedroom. Very oddly, I thought, the CVS pre-screening form asked me if I had been to Wuhan, China in the past two weeks. Something told me they might be a bit behind the curve on what's happening with Covid-19. Scheduling both tests proved to be a good call. When I followed the signs at CVS ... more »

Five Years of Facebook: A Rant

Phil at All That Is Solid ... - 7 hours ago
Social media is a fact of social life and an increasingly central vector of capital accumulation. The content generation and imminent networking capacities these platforms enable offers new ways of organising, as well as the means for indulging a bit of mass manipulation. But you don't need me to tell you this. We're not living in 2006 any longer and this is understood to the point of assuming the status of a banality. What gives then? If you permit your author a moment of indulgence, Saturday marked five years of this blog having a page on the Facebook, so while you're here why no... more »

Today’s Intolerant Democrats Dishonor Memory of John Lewis

SafeSpace at 'Nox & Friends - 7 hours ago
I began this post with a question in mind: Why did Representative John Lewis stay in the Democrat Party all his political life? The state and local governments of both Selma and Montgomery were run by Democrats during the early 1960s. Jim Crow legislation was largely a product of Democrat politicians. Democrat President LBJ did sign both the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but nullified 99% of the progress made therein with his “Great Society” brainchild. If you’re not familiar with that pernicious piece of social engineering, it did more to destroy black... more »

Dark money for Biden

“A staggering $5.7 million—96 percent—of the $5.9 million bankrolling Victory 2020, a new pro-Biden super PAC, came from a single leftist “dark money” donor: the Sixteen Thirty Fund. The Sixteen Thirty Fund is the lobbying wing of the $635 million empire run by Arabella Advisors, according to its FEC filings. It’s a startling revelation for a group used to operating in nearly total anonymity, but for anyone familiar with the Sixteen Thirty Fund it’s par for the course for the Left’s best-kept secret.

But unlike the Trifid, in NGC 1579 the reddish glow is not emission from clouds of glowing hydrogen gas excited by ultraviolet light from a nearby hot star. Instead, the... more »

Chet Raymo, "Pigeons"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 9 hours ago
*"Pigeons"* by Chet Raymo "That old curmudgeon H. L. Mencken wrote: "The most common of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind." Admitting that no one - including this writer - is immune to self-delusion, still it is hard for anyone who respects empirical evidence to argue with Mencken. Half of Americans believe in ghosts. Almost seventy percent believe in angels. More people believe in astrology than express interest in astronomy. Almost anything paranormal - ESP, UFOs, channeling, etc. - is deemed more interesting t... more »

The Poet: Mary Oliver, "Can You Imagine?"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 9 hours ago
*"Can You Imagine?" * "For example, what the trees do not only in lightning storms or the watery dark of a summer's night or under the white nets of winter but now, and now, and now - whenever we're not looking. Surely you can't imagine they don't dance, from the root up, wishing to travel a little, not cramped so much as wanting a better view, or more sun, or just as avidly more shade - surely you can't imagine they just stand there loving every minute of it, the birds or the emptiness, the dark rings of the years slowly and without a sound thickening, and nothing different unless the ... more »

Tehran's Nightmare: Israel Getting Its Hands On These U.S. Weapons

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Middle East* It's not just about the F-35. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Israel has most of what it needs from the United States; in several areas, the technical capabilities of the IDF exceed those of the U.S. military. But in some areas the Israelis could take more advantage of U.S. technology, especially if strategic necessity and financial reality came together in more productive ways. With only a few notable exceptions, Israel can buy whatever it wants from the United States, generally on very generous terms associated with *U.S. aid package... more »

World War II Stopped a Battleship Arms Race

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * 7 countries, many battleships. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *That’s a lot of battleships. With its immense resources and industrial capacity, the United States would have become the world’s premier battleship power, followed by the Royal Navy. The other major powers would have been limited by geography and economics, although both the Germans and the Japanese could likely have held their own for a while. The late 1930s promised a renewed era of battleship construction, similar in some ways to the bonanza that immediately followed the constructi... more »

Russia's Nuclear Missiles Could Destroy The World

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * Russia inherited the world’s most extensive missile collection from the Soviet Union. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The RS-28 Sarmat may be one of the farthest-flying missiles in Russia, thanks to a massive range —10,00- to 18,000 kilometers, or approximately 6,800 to 11,000 miles which would put virtually the entire world in range.

SR-71: The World's Fastest Aircraft Took A Herculean Effort To Get Flying

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * The SR-71 was amazing. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Peter Merlin, an aviation historian described how much of an effort was required to get the SR-71 into the air. “It took an army of people to prepare the aircraft. A Blackbird operational mission essentially had a countdown, like a space mission did, because there was so much preparation involved in both getting the crew ready and the vehicle ready, an unbelievable amount of effort and manpower.” The SR-71 was fast but fussy — getting the Blackbird into the sky took hours of preparation.

Anti-China Hysteria Drives Record 2021 US Defense Spending

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
Anti-China hysteria has emerged as the central ‘threat’ designed to justify endless U.S. military spending and adventurism in the Asia-Pacific. The 2021 Department of Defense spending bill has become contested terrain for a progressive wing of Democrats seeking to curtail endless military spending and a Republican-led bipartisan coalition focused on increasing spending to “stay competitive” with ostensible threats from Russia and China. On July 21, the House passed its version of the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), with an increase in stipulated defense... more »

Police Budgets Are Ballooning As Social Programs Crumble

Terrace at PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
Faced with mass teacher layoffs, deep cuts to education and social services, and a looming eviction crisis, police budgets across the nation remain absurdly high and have been largely insulated from Covid-induced belt-tightening. Worse yet, a number cities have opted to increase police budgets, claiming the funds are needed to pay for reforms. This is despite the fact that racial justice protesters across the country are clearly calling for the defunding of police—a demand that stems from abolitionist principles. Budget cuts are seen as part of a process of dismantling prisons and... more »

In the words of (ret.) Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Secretary of Defense Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff, the Trump Administration has been dangerously “poking China in the eye.” After sending aircraft carriers and destroyers to the precincts of the Taiwan Strait, last week the Pentagon dispatched two aircraft carrier strike groups – including escort cruisers and destroyers, 120 warplanes and 12,000 troops — to South China Sea waters claimed by China. China responded by deploying fighter jets to its near-by base on Woody Island and reminding the world of its anti-aircraft carrier mis... more »
