The North Korean Missile Rorschach Test*Mark Tokola* *North Korean Missile Tests, Asia* Deciding how to approach North Korea should be based on a wider logic that does not depend on an accurate diagnosis of the reasons behind North Korea’s missile tests. Every North Korean missile test is followed by speculation about its meaning. What is North Korea signaling and who is the signal directed to? Are the dates significant? Or are the launches simply tied to an engineering calendar under which North Korea carries out tests when its weapons development program requires testing? North Korean missile tests appear to offer ... read more

The Persistent Case for Exomoon Candidate Kepler-1708 b-i
[image: The Persistent Case for Exomoon Candidate Kepler-1708 b-i] We started finding a lot of ‘hot Jupiters’ in the early days of planet hunting simply because, although their existence was not widely predicted, they were the most likely planetary types to trigger our radial velocity detection methods. These star-hugging worlds produced a Doppler signal that readily showed the effects of planet on star, while smaller worlds, and planets farther out in their orbits, remained undetected.

VA: Youngkin Invites Everyone To Turn In TeachersFiguring that pitting parents against schools had won him an election, Governor Glenn Youngkin has made good on his pledge to attack public education and the teachers who work there. He started right in with an edict that schools should not teach anything "inherently divisive," one more anti-CRT law so fuzzy, subjective, and poorly-conceived that it will chill teaching of any subjects that anybody might object to. The text is spectacularly vague, and though it contains a list of some "divisive concepts" that are specifically naughty, its reliance on that "divisive concept" langua... read more

Are EVs The Solution?Electric vehicles are having a good run. But are they the solution to our energy problems? Andrew Nikiforuk is skeptical: I reject the optimistic narrative for electric vehicles.

My sense is that industries pushing electric cars are not so much concerned with slowing down extreme climate change as they are accelerating technological control over our lives — all under the guise of liberation.

If there is a war over Ukraine, then things could escalate very fast and much of Europe could turn into a deadly battleground—and the Russians might appear in Berlin for the fourth time.
