Some Pet Peeves About Legal Scholarship
Part of an occasional series: (1) Articles entitled “[Toward] a [General] Theory of X,” where “X” is some reasonably broad topic: So, “A General Theory of Administrative Law” and maybe “A General Theory of the FDA,” but probably not “A General Theory of the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization Practice.” Why? Because though it might take a theory to beat a theory (I actually don’t think it does – some theories are junk on their own terms), facts almost always defeat general theories (in the domain of law). General theories might point you towards some things to look for in examin... read more
"Animals"
*"Animals"* "I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self contain’d; I stand and look at them long and long, They do not sweat and whine about their condition; They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins; They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God; Not one is dissatisfied - not one is demented with the mania of owning things; Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago; Not one is respectable or industrious over the whole earth." - Walt Whitman read more

"The Long Cycles Have All Turned: Look Out Below"
*"The Long Cycles Have All Turned: Look Out Below"* by Charles Hugh Smith "Long cycles operate at such a glacial pace they're easily dismissed as either figments of fevered imagination or this time it's different. But since Nature and human nature remain stubbornly grounded by the same old dynamics, cycles eventually turn and the world changes dramatically. Nobody thinks the cyclical turn is possible until it's already well underway. Multiple long cycles are turning in unison: *1.* The cycle of interest rates: down for 40+ years (last turn, 1981), now up for an unknown but conseque... read more
F-35A and F-35B Stealth Fighters: What Is the Difference?
*Charlie Gao* *F-35, The Americas* The difference is a lot more than one letter. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *All of these limitations may make it seem like the F-35B once in flight is by and large just a worse version of the F-35A. While this is true, it’s important to consider the roles of the aircraft. The F-35B is far closer in capability to the F-35A than the AV-8B was to the F-16C. Oftentimes, the F-35 has been colloquially referred to as one aircraft in the media, or various versions of the F-35 have been conflated with each other. However, despite their shared “p... read more
Russia’s Ad Strategy for the “Checkmate” Fighter Involves Perfume and the Apache Helicopter
*Sebastien Roblin* *Checkmate Stealth Fighter, * But despite the pungent swag, the latest stylized “trailer” promoting Checkmate arguably skimps on an embarrassing detail. Russia’s premier jet fighter manufacturer Sukhoi has launched a second advertising blitz for its proposed Su-75 Checkmate export single-engine fighter at the Dubai airshow, following the concept aircraft’s heavily hyped unveiling this July at the MAKS airshow near Moscow. This time, the stealth fighter is being promoted with a limited edition fighter-jet scented *perfume, *which according to Sukhoi’s parent co... read more
First Omicron Case Reported in the United States
*Stephen Silver* *Coronavirus, * The United States, meanwhile, put in a travel ban last week from South Africa and other countries in the southern part of Africa. However, reports that the Omicron variant had been spotted in Europe before Africa has led some to question whether the travel bans were necessary. It was only a matter of time, but the first confirmed case of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 has been reported in the United States. According to CNN, Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, announced the case Wednesday in a... read more
Is U.S. Military Power in Decline?
*Robert Farley* *Great Power Competition, United States* Moving forward, the U.S. military will need to navigate a world in which it enjoys advantages that are merely large, but not overwhelming. That’s not such a bad place to be. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Geopolitics isn’t a Shakespearean drama, or a morality play. Noting that Russia, China, and others have the growing capability to act independently in their regions does not imply that they will act justly, or that they have any special right to torture their neighbors. Last week, Air Force General Frank Gorenc argue... read more
In 2022, Inflation Won’t Be Our Main Economic Problem
*Desmond Lachman* *economy, United States* In planning for the year ahead, economic policymakers should pay less attention to the consensus economic forecast and more attention to today’s everything asset and credit market bubble. Maybe then when those bubbles burst, they will not be caught out as flatfooted as they were in 2008. My years of working as an economist on Wall Street taught me that all too often the consensus economic view turns out to be very wrong. A striking instance of such an error was the spectacular failure of the economic profession to anticipate the 2008-200... read more
Smart Strategies to Make Social Security Go Further
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Social Security, Americas* There are dangers ahead—and they include fast-rising inflation for goods and services and Medicare Part B premiums, which are slated to surge by 14.5 percent next year. It was just last month when millions of Social Security recipients finally received confirmation on what they wanted to hear for over the past year—that there would be a 5.9 percent cost of living adjustment (COLA) beginning in 2022. That sizeable boost—the largest bump to the old-age benefits witnessed in four decades—is expected to raise retirees’ monthly paymen... read more

Justices raise questions about the 1973 abortion decision
Washington Examiner: Justices in the Supreme Court's six-member conservative majority on Wednesday raised substantial doubts about the jurisprudence behind the 1973 case establishing abortion rights in the United States, *Roe v. Wade*, during arguments over a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks' gestation. Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, combined with arguments on Nov. 1 over a Texas anti-abortion law , represents the most direct challenge in decades to Roe, which made abortion a national right rather than letting states decide the issue. The rulings, ... read more

California man returns from South Africa with Omicron variant
Epoch Times: The first case of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus Omicron variant was detected in California, officials said Wednesday. Genomic sequencing conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, and confirmed by scientists with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the case was caused by the variant. The patient traveled from South Africa on Nov. 22, started experiencing symptoms on Nov. 25, and tested positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 29.

Sandinistas Won A Landslide Victory Because They Uplifted The Poor
As predicted by multiple polls, the Sandinistas, led by Daniel Ortega, won a resounding victory on the November 7th elections in Nicaragua. The elections were a referendum on the path that the Sandinista government has taken the country, which is grounded on large investments in social programs that have benefited people, especially the most disadvantaged, in every nook and cranny of the national territory. Support for the reelection of the Sandinista government was astounding. Of the entire patron electoral (eligible voters), about 65% came out to vote and, of those, about 75.9% ... read more

U.S.-China Tech Decoupling Accelerates With New Export Controls on Chinese Quantum Computing Companies

Even Libby Purves is slamming Radio 4
Even former Radio 4 stalwart, ex-*Midweek* presenter and self-declared ''life-long loyalist and listener'' Libby Purves - though in many ways as 'BBC as can be' in her outlook - sees that David Blunkett has a point about her favourite channel BBC Radio 4. In her latest *Times* column she says that the BBC shouldn't ignore him, and although she thinks it's ''not all the way there yet'' she obviously thinks it's a lot of way there when she agrees with him that ''if [Radio 4] starts thinking that its mission to educate is largely moral and progressive, that information should be skew... read more
"The United States Gets Even Closer To War With Both Russia And China"
*"The United States Gets Even Closer To* * War With Both Russia And China"* by Michael Snyder "While most of the U.S. population is distracted by other matters, the Biden administration continues to march us even closer to war with both Russia and China. It is understandable that so much attention is being given to the craziness surrounding the COVID pandemic, our very serious economic problems and the growing violence in our streets, but ultimately our deteriorating relationships with Russia and China will become even bigger news than any of those stories. If we stay on the path th... read more
The Despicable and Indefensible Approval of Merck’s Dangerous COVID Drug
[image: undefined] The FDA has refused to even explore approval of cheap, safe, and effective repurposed drugs for 20 months, despite mounds of evidence from studies vouching for their efficacy and safety. So, naturally, now that the agency is on track to issue an emergency use authorization to the first outpatient drug for COVID, this one must be the greatest thing since penicillin, right? Wrong! In fact, the drug is so dangerous and has so many known and unknown side effects that the FDA advisory committee members basically admitted this was a “difficult” decision and that they co... read more
Biden Expected To Lock Down Travelers!
According to the Washington Post, the Biden Administration is expected tomorrow to force ALL travelers to the US - Americans and foreigners alike - to take a Covid test within a day of travel AND to self-quarantine for seven days after arrival.

Also today, the Biden vax mandates continue to take severe body blows in the courts, with the government contractor mandate being overturned yesterday. Also...Cramer's mad rant - what's he on?

Facebook as a 'fact-blocker'
John Stossel: I’ve reported how Facebook censors me. Now I’ve learned that they also censor environmentalist Michael Shellenberger, statistician Bjorn Lomborg and former New York Times columnist John Tierney. Facebook’s “fact-checkers” claim we spread “misinformation.” In my new video, Tierney argues that the “people guilty of spreading misinformation are Facebook and its fact-checkers.” He’s right. Facebook doesn’t do its censoring alone. It partners with groups approved by something called the Poynter Institute, a group that claims “a commitment to nonpartisanship.” But Poy... read more

Those achievement gaps in Minneapolis!
*WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2021* *At the New York Times, no one cares:* Let's return to Sunday's report about the Minneapolis public schools. (For our prior discussion click here.) The report appeared on the front page of Sunday's New York Times. Inevitably, this means that the report focused on the school district's plan to "integrate / desegregate" its high schools. In theory—if not always in practice—it's a good idea when districts attempt to improve racial balance in their various schools. But as we've noted again and again, there's no other aspect of public schooling the Times... read more
