Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah Sunday Thoughts:* Christonuts just get more and more weird by the week. Sure, we already knew about Republican Christian types who believe the world is only 6000 years old and that our ancestors rode to work on dinosaurs. In their demented and critical thinking challenged minds, they know that's true because they saw it in *The Flintstones* and, for them, *The Flintstones* is a documentary. What? It's not just more leftist Hollywood propaganda? Anyway, some Christonuts appear to be taking their lunacy a step further, professing to believe that dinosaurs are, as their D... more »
Trump Wants to Fill RBG’s Supreme Court Seat ‘Without Delay’
Tyler O’Neil Sep 19, 2020 On Saturday, President Donald Trump rallied the Republican Party to confirm a Supreme Court nominee to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Radical Left Threatens Riots and War if RBG Replaced
Matt Margolis Sep 19, 2020 The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Friday evening sparked some very solemn responses from people of all political stripes.

Liberals Celebrated the Death of Conservative Justice Scalia
Matt Margolis Sep 19, 2020 To say the Left has responded very emotionally to the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg would be an understatement. Some have even suggested it is disrespectful to her memory to talk about her replacement so soon after her death. But the political implications of the vacancy on the Court resulting … Continue reading Liberals Celebrated the Death of Conservative Justice Scalia →
A somewhat technical intro to quantum computing
First, news on beyond the Standard Model dark bosons: In an MIT search (PRL) involving transitions in ytterbium nuclei, a 3-sigma deviation from the expectations was found; while in a Danish search using calcium (PRL), there was no deviation. The MIT excess may be due to some higher order effects, however. See a popular summary. Some equations in this blog post are long and I don't want to break them to too many short lines. Please switch to the mobile template in this case, thanks. Also, right-click at an equation and set "Zoom trigger" to "click": a left mouse click on the formula... more »
Yes, the Littoral Combat Ship Is Becoming the Jack-of-All-Trades
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC1294A10B00&share=true] Perhaps new missions and a lot of upgrades will make the LCS an actually formidable warship. *Key point: *The LCS originally was a boondoggle that had many problems. However, it looks like over time and with fixes the platform is finally maturing. The U.S. Navy is adding more Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) to the fleet to further strengthen its submarine-hunting capabilities. The LCS are also being equipped with upgraded weapons for countermin... more »
CDC: Coronavirus Seldom Kills Children But Minorities at Higher Risk
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Security, Americas* The risks are real. Children in general aren’t likely to die from the novel coronavirus, but the mortality risk is still relatively high for children and teens from minority groups, according to a new report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among the 190,000 confirmed coronavirus-related deaths in the United States, only 121, or 0.08 percent, were reported in those under twenty-one. The most updated CDC report has revealed that roughly 380 children, teenagers, and young adults aged up to twenty-four have die... more »
Could The U.S. Navy Blockade China Into Submission?
*Sean Mirski* *Security, * It won't be so easy. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *It is worth recognizing that even the most effective blockade would not completely interdict Chinese trade, because even under ideal conditions, China would still be able to acquire the vital goods and resources courtesy of the inescapable laws of supply and demand. The more effectively the United States established a regional embargo, the higher the profit margins on selling imports to China. Even if all of China’s neighbors agreed to embargo, the United States would still have to resign itself ... more »
China's New Type 055 Missile Cruisers: A Threat?
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2004%3Anewsml_RP4DRIGONMAB&share=true] Could all of their missiles take out America's warships from a distance? *Key point: *Beijing is working to mirror U.S. capabilties. But China also likes to rely on its own domestically-made long-range anti-ship missiles. The Chinese navy’s new guided-missile cruisers can launch land-attack cruise missiles, the Chinese navy confirmed. That capability places the Type 055 cruisers in the same class as the U.S. Navy’s own large surface combatants. W... more »

Wash Post HYPOCRITES: Scalia ‘Dismayed Liberals.’ Ginsburg ‘Devoted To Equality’
By Scott Whitlock ~ There’s a saying: “A picture is worth a 1000 words.” When it comes to hypocritical, biased media, so is a headline. Here is The Washington Post front page from February 14, 2016, the day after legendary conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died. As I wondered at the time, what was […]
California’s Energy Scorecard Fails On The World Stage
By Ronald Stein ~ California, with 0.5 percent of the world’s population (40 million vs 8 billion) professes to be the leader of everything and through its dysfunctional energy policies imports more electricity than any other state – currently at 32 percent from the Northwest and Southwest – and has forced California to be the […]

"Major" US-Funded Anti-Government Rally FLOPS in Thailand
Few showed up to a rally that has now fully exposed the "student protests," their real sponsors, and their real agenda. *September 20, 2020* (Tony Cartalucci - ATN) - Anti-government protests organized by Thailand's corrupt billionaire-led opposition and the US government sought to create yesterday a "historical" event. Instead, barely 20,000 people showed up at the event's peak - a fraction of the "hundreds of thousands" promised - and most of the crowd consisted of fugitive billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra's "red shirts," a violent street front highly unpopular across the count... more »

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, And Her Replacement
It’s not my way to speak ill of the dead, so let me say a couple of positive things about Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: * She clearly had a very strong work ethic. * She generally dealt civilly and respectfully with her ideological opponents. In this respect she was the polar opposite of almost all of today’s ideological left. I do not doubt that her long friendship with Justice Scalia was deep and genuine. Those things said, Justice Ginsburg was not my idea of what a Supreme Court justice should be. Indeed, in many respects, she was the opposite. . . .
FBI accused of withholding test results that may shed light on attempts to kill critic of Putin
8-30-20 FBI accused of withholding test results that may shed light on attempts to kill at least one critic of Putin After Vladimir Kara-Murza, a Russian opposition activist, was poisoned in Moscow for the second time in two years, his wife, Evgenia, got on a plane to America bearing a vial of his blood. Speed was vital: she was told that the more time elapsed, the harder it would be to identify the mysterious toxin. FBI agents met her at Dulles airport near Washington and took the sample for testing. An early result was promised. Three-and-a-half years later the FBI is still silent... more »
Iran's Revolutionary Guards Vow To Kill President Trump And All Those Responsible For The Death Of General Soleimani

America's Anti-Tank Platoons Did Great Damage To Hitler's Panzers At Mortain
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Americans from the 30th Infantry Division took a heavy toll on German panzers at a French crossroads near Mortain during World War II. A column of German Mark V Panther tanks advanced through a thick fog north of the French town of Mortain, blindly firing their machine guns. Suddenly, the lead panzer took a hit from an unseen American antitank round, penetrating the frontal armor and stopping it. A tank retriever approached the smoking tank only to come under fire. Then, crews of three tanks dismounted and gathered to discuss options. A... more »
"Screaming Eagle": An American Paratrooper's Incredible Journey Across Europe in WWII
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Trooper Lud Labutka of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, fought his way through Normandy, Holland, and the Battle of the Bulge. *Key Point*: "I would never jump from an airplane again, unless somebody called me a chicken." In an effort to calm his nerves just before he jumped into Normandy on D-Day, Lud Labutka thought it might be a good idea to accept the drink being offered from the paratrooper sitting across from him on their C-47 transport as it crossed the English Channel. It didn’t matter to him at t... more »
Britain's Pacific Fleet: A Neglected World War II Story
*Warfare History Network* *History, * Hitler wasn't the Royal Navy's only target. *Key Point*: Britain sank numberous Japanese warships. During World War II, after the Royal Navy’s traumatic departure from the Pacific Ocean in early 1942, the 4th Submarine Flotilla and its depot ship, the HMS *Adamant*, operated with the Eastern Fleet based at Trincomalee––a large, natural harbor located on the coast of Sri Lanka in the heart of the Indian Ocean. Dutch submarines joined them and were placed under British operational control after the fall of the Dutch East Indies to the Japanese.... more »

The student-led demonstration was expected to run all night and into Sunday morning. The protesters want Parliament ... more »
Trump Fails To Lower The Cost Of Drugs Again-- Even With His Silly Stunt To Blackmail Big PhRMA
*TheTrump Card* Trump is desperately trying to paint a picture-- even if just a superficial one destined to fall apart November 4-- for voters that he's delivering on his promises and boasts, like the silly fake peace treaties in the Middle East between Israel and countries it has never been at war with. Another one came to light last night when Jonathan Martin and Maggie Haberman reported that a deal to lower the price of drugs fell apart when Trump practically demanded that every bottle of drugs have a smiley picture of him on it!

The Kantian Debates: Reinhold Versus Maimon
The debate between the disciples of Kant started in the late 1780s, while Kant was in his prime—at times, Kant himself vigorously argued with his disciples. I think, Hegel is only other figure in western philosophy whose work has led to such intense controversy as Kant’s. Here’s a short exchange between the two dedicated Kantians—Reinhold and Maimon: "All philosophy must begin with self-evident facts, and these are indemonstrable since they are the basis of all demonstration.” ~ Karl Leonhard Reinhold in a letter to Salomon Maimon (1791) "Of course all philosophy must begin wit... more »
