Both parties, but mainly Democrats are destroying the country
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 17 hours ago
Democrats objected to the 2016 election because Trump won legally—using the electoral college vote which is the constitutional way, not the popular vote, which Democrats won. They went insane. Pink hat parades, attacking people in restaurants, finding a few Russian robots on Facebook, demanding the deaths of viable babies, launching impeachment even before the inauguration, screaming at us from late night TV and evening news hours on CNN. 80% of U.S. voters, including millions of Democrats, have claimed foul play in 2020. Some at the local and state level, but most for the preside...
Is a Future Ban on Gas-Powered Cars Just a Dream?
Amitrajeet A. Batabyal, The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Amitrajeet A. Batabyal* *Climate, The Americas* With more than 270 million motor vehicles registered in the U.S. and a long tradition of powering cars and trucks with fossil fuels, how will it be possible to make this switch? The U.S. transportation sector is one of the largest contributors of carbon dioxide, the potent driver of climate change. Transportation accounts for about 28% of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and, since 1990, emissions in this sector have increased more than in any other area. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the use of electric veh...

German Government Uses Lockdown to Sneak Deadly Pesticide
barovsky, The New Dark Age - 18 hours ago
Using the conditions of the most recent coronavirus lockdown, the German government’s agriculture minister has made a stealth decision, without open debate, to re-instate a banned class of systemic insecticides known as neonicotinoids. The German move follows a similar move by the French Macron government and puts the entire food security of the EU in serious danger. Ironically, or maybe not, the move comes at a time when food security worldwide is in grave stress owing to consequences of the global COVID lockdowns that have disrupted huge parts of the global food chains.

An F-35 Pilot Explains Why the Jet’s Bad Press Misses the Point
Justin Lee, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Justin Lee* *Technology, * A major reason the F-35 has seen so much criticism is that it was the first jet developed in the social media age. There’s no other jet I’d want to go into combat in than the F-35A, the Air Force’s newest supersonic stealth fighter. As a fighter pilot who’s flown several variants of the legendary F-16 as well as the F-35, I can say that, between the two aircraft, it’s not even a close competition. Comparing the two is like comparing a 90’s corvette to a brand new Tesla—the corvette may have the edge in a few niche categories, but the Tesla is a much mo...
