Joe Biden Is As Depraved As Ever
Karen Garcia, Sardonicky - 9 hours ago
So a president creepily calls an eight-year-old girl whom he just met "Baby," and then further demeans her by ordering her to stop worrying her pretty little head about ever catching Covid, and other children ever catching Covid, or even about her parents and other children's parents ever catching Covid. You're forgiven if you thought that I was talking about Donald Trump. But since it was Joe Biden's exhibition of creepiness and mendacity and sexist disdain, delivered in that over-familiar grandfatherly way of his, the whole world is feeling ever so much better now. Or so the gu...

Once upon a time, it was important that farmers - the first agricultural scientists - create seeds that were larger, more nutritious, and more resilient to environmental stress.

Seeds such as wheat, rice and corn directly provide about 70% of the calories eaten by people every day. What isn't directly eaten is still contributing, either by providing feed for livestock or by being grown into fruits and vegetables. read more

THE PARTY OF REAGAN WAS THE PARTY OF TRUMP, AND LIMBAUGH WAS THE THROUGH LINE
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 15 hours ago
Never Trump Republicans regularly lament: How did the party of Ronald Reagan become the party of Donald Trump? "Reagan’s sunny, inclusive vision and principles are the antithesis of what Trump preaches," we're told. But Reagan bashed Democrats at every opportunity -- often with cornball jokes, but never with the sense that Democrats are good citizens with ideas about government worth considering. Reagan brought us Interior Secretary James Watt, who said, "I never use the words Democrats and Republicans. It's liberals and Americans." Reagan's administration gave us the angry, self-im...

The Experts Versus the Chicken and Egg Oscillation
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 16 hours ago
The “chicken and egg oscillation” cannot be overcome. We will never be sure if the rule comes first or the event. The rules of morality, justice, politics, and economics which lead to particular type of events cannot be developed. Those who are revered as experts in the intellectual and political establishment might be convinced that a certain rule when implemented will lead to a particular event, but instances can be found where the event comes first and rule is conceived at a later stage, or the rule leads to a wholly different kind of event. The variables and chance factors in hu...

Steven B. Kamin, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Steven B. Kamin* *economy, * The recent rise in emerging market economy sovereign debt may pose substantial problems for several countries, especially Brazil and South Africa. But the decline in global interest rates should ease the burden for many other emerging market governments. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments in emerging market economies (EMEs) ratcheted up their spending and borrowing, leading to the sharp increases in debt shown in Figure 1 below. This rise in debt poses concerns that these economies may be headed for default and crisis. However, the de...
Nazi Germany Tried To Build a Weather Station in Canada During World War II
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* The German Navy's meteorologists were at a disadvantage to the Allies. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Nazi Germany made a futile attempt to establish a weather station in a remote region of Canada. Throughout World War II the Allies enjoyed a certain advantage over the Axis that was purely the product of geography. Because the Allied nations occupied real estate on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, their meteorologists were able to benefit from communicating with one another about weather patterns. Prevailing weather patterns in the...
Chinese Submarines Have New Ways to Destroy U.S. Aircraft Carriers
David Axe, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* China’s navy has come a long way. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In 1996, Chinese subs had basically zero chances to take a shot at a U.S. carrier, with or without cueing. By 2010 that was no longer the case. In 1995 and 1996, Taiwanese politicians signaled greater support for declaring their island country officially independent of China. Beijing’s response was swift, forceful … and ultimately an embarrassment to China. The Chinese fired several missiles toward small, Taiwanese-held islands. That’s when the United States intervened in a big way...
