India’s Independence and the British Empire’s End“It has been computed that every fifth man in Great Britain is dependent, either directly or indirectly, on our Indian connection for his livelihood.” ~ Geoffrey Tyson in his book *Danger in India* (Chapter 4, “Anti-British Discrimination”) Tyson wrote his book in 1932. He was worried that if India became independent, Britain would lose its primary source of income, and then the British Empire would fall. He felt that the British Empire could not be sustained without income from India. He saw India’s independence movement as a grave threat to the existence of the British Empire. ... read more

The over rated DemocratsJohn Kudla: Before the 2020 presidential election, I became curious about political polls claiming that Joe Biden had a ten-percentage-point lead over Donald Trump.

Local Orgs Unite Against Housing CrisisSpeakers painted a devastating picture of the housing crisis in Oakland: an estimated 4,000 people unhoused, a quarter of whom are children and almost three quarters of whom are Black. A 24% increase in homelessness—and 800 deaths on the streets—in the past three years. And the so-called “CARE courts” proposed by Governor Gavin Newsom to address homelessness only threaten to restrict the rights of the unhoused even further, say these activists.

Comet Interceptor Could Snag an Interstellar Object
[image: Comet Interceptor Could Snag an Interstellar Object] It pleases me to learn that Dutch astronomer Jan Oort was among the select group of people who have seen Halley’s Comet twice. At the age of 10, he saw it with his father on the shore at Noordwijk, Netherlands. In 1986, he saw it again from an aircraft. What a fine experience that would have been for a man who brought so much to the study of comets, including the idea that the Solar System is surrounded by a massive cloud of such objects in orbits far beyond those of the outer planets. *Image*: Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, ... read more

So, when is Mitt Romney going to apologize?
Readers may recall that in March, former Congressional representative Tulsi Gabbard claimed that the USA was funding more than 25 biolabs in Ukraine, conducting research on "deadly pathogens". In response, Senator Mitt Romney immediately accused her of "parroting false Russian propaganda" and spreading "treasonous lies". Well . . . guess what? The Pentagon on Thursday finally admitted in a public statement that there are 46 US-funded biolabs in Ukraine. (Click the image below for a larger view.) I love *(not!)* the emphasis on "peaceful" Ukrainian laboratories. Given tha... read more
