This was at Hokio Beach in the Horowhenua. Same region as the huge pipi die off in 2017. Then two more bird death scenarios within the past six months. Natural causes I’m sure.

Worst on Ground: retirees lose as major parties reject ‘Best in Show’ for super funds

Harry Chemay at Michael West - 21 hours ago
[image: Superannuation, gravy train] A key recommendation of the Productivity Commission was for a Best in Show list of the top super funds. The sector hated the idea because it threatened their gravy train. MPs duly fell into line and instead last week passed legislation that, on its own, could worsen the problem of fund underperformance. Harry Chemay investigates.

Dr. Roberts said, “You have to assume the Democrats believe they have already lost, and so they will figure out how to steal it.” One of the tactics is outright violence and threats.

Nobel Prize winners' support for Biden proves their madness

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 22 hours ago
Br sent me this list of 81 U.S. science Nobel Prize candidates who have already endorsed Biden. From some broader perspective, it's unspectacular because they also represent the huge left-wing bias of the scholarly institutions. They're not just "good scientists"; they are results of the selection that has (from the 1960s or so) demanded the people to be a mixture of "scientists" and "mindless Stalinist and Maoist fanatics", with the increasing importance assigned to the latter. However, the fact that they did throw this support for the mentally deteriorrating puppet of the most des... more »

The Possible SR-72 is the SR-71 On Steroids (And Maybe a Bomber)

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * [image: Reuters] The SR-72’s promoters argue that “speed is the new stealth,” reflecting a growing belief in some quarters that improved networked sensors will eventually diminish the survivability of stealth aircraft. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The challenge, however, lay not so much in designing an aircraft that could attain hypersonic speeds as ensuring that it could *also *take off and land at slower speeds. Hypersonic weapons—those capable of flying over five times the speed of sound—are the hot new buzz word of defense industrial co... more »

Iran Can Stop Pretending It Has Stealth Fighters

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The hypothetical stealth jet disappeared for several years only to resurface in a somewhat more convincing form in April 2017 when prototyped number “8” was paraded before President Rouhani and recorded taxiing on a runway. This time, Iranian media conceded that the jet had yet to undergo flight tests. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* Iran may eventually design an actual flying jet plane resembling the mockups it passed off as the real thing—but even, such a plane would likely merely be a testbed and showpiece.

*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Asia* Together with the H-20, the JH-XX could also be the latest milestone in China’s long-term goal of contesting the second island chain by threatening the US base on the island of Guam. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Whereas stealth is a top design priority for the H-20, the JH-XX seeks to balance low-detectability features against speed and limited dogfighting abilities; to that end, the JH-XX will carry anti-air missiles.

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * [image: Reuters] The F-117 offered the United States military a unique ability to slip through enemy air defenses and takeout high value targets with its precision guided bombs. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In addition to its reflective surfaces, the Nighthawk sported other design features now standard in stealth aircraft, including the use of radar-absorbent iron-ball paint magnetically charged so as to reduce the reflection of electromagnetic waves. The F-117’s slit-shaped exhaust ports for its F404 turbofan engines minimize the infrared ... more »

Trump is the quintessential *après moi, le déluge* president.

Much of the giant pre-pandemic run up was illegitimate spending-- tax cuts for the rich and immense waste-- and then came COVID.
