It’s easy to think that housing solutions are purely technological, but many obstacles to housing aren’t in construction but in the policies surrounding homebuilding. Moreover, many of the supposed advantages of shipping containers turn out to be more complicated in reality. Vox’... read more

This is the video...that everyone's talking about today, the one released by the J6 Select Committee. The first security footage shot on January 5th that we've seen includes that of Barry Loudermilk leading a recon tour to the January 6th rioters. The Capitol police swear to this day they saw nothing suspicious on January 5th, even though tours were banned on March 2020. They're seen photographing Democratic leadership's office doors, security checkpoints, etc. The next day, that same Capitol police was caught, well, flat-footed. read more

4 big questions about Covid-19 vaccines for babies and toddlers
Carolyn Kaster/AP Covid-19 vaccines for little kids are critical even though they face lower risks. Independent advisers to the Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday voted unanimously in favor of granting emergency approval to the first Covid-19 vaccines for infants and toddlers, from Moderna and from Pfizer/BioNTech. The vote opens the door to immunizing roughly 18 million children, closing one of the largest remaining immunization gaps in the population. The FDA will likely accept the recommendation Thursday and the first doses may roll out next week. “People are working o... read more

Is There A School-Scripting Miracle In Kenya?
Short answer: no. Now for the longer answer.

Reading the signs of the timesSome readers wonder why I place so much faith in Michael Yon's analysis of current events. The reason is simple. As most of you know, I worked for years in the Third World, and learned the hard way how things really are there - the deprivation and poverty, the corruption, the violence, the hopelessness. It's not always like that, but people in that environment are living very close to the edge.

The Trend Toward A Multipolar World Is Defined By Class StruggleIn the post-Soviet era, it has become fashionable to strip all geopolitical developments of their class roots. Wars have been explained away by bourgeois propaganda: the War on Terror, Great Power Competition, and matters of “national security.” The Ukraine crisis is a case in point. Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has been labeled a war without a cause by Western detractors. But underneath the cacophony of capitalist ideology and propaganda is a class struggle occurring on the global stage for multipolarity where the Russia-Ukraine conflict is but one flashpoint.
