THE VELVET ROPE PRESIDENCY
A *New York Times* economics writer named Nelson D. Schwartz has been writing for the past several years about what he calls "the velvet rope economy." ... I’ve come to realize the real story in the American economy today is the velvet rope itself. Sometimes, it’s a metaphor, as in the case of ... the butler-like Royal Genies on Royal Caribbean cruise ships who research your favorite scotch or vodka and have it ready before you board.

Joe Biden's Unacknowledged Contribution to Resegregation
Joe Biden has said that "there are a lot of people who would say it [busing] hasn’t been the best remedy to integrate schools." The people who say that, of course, are, like Joe Biden, opposed to busing, for whatever reason. In the end, the reason does not matter because the documented racist result is the same, regardless of intent or motivation. Whether Joe and the "lot of people" are correct in their claim that busing is an ineffective way to desegregate schools remains debatable, but the issue of busing presents us with at least one incontrovertible truth: those who have oppos... more »

Independence Day
*The Holiday* that you're celebrating today only exists because people were armed*.* The number of American colonists killed, wounded, captured by the British or died from disease exceeded 50,000. That is 2 per cent of the estimated population of 2.5 million colonists in 1776. David McCullough wrote in his book *1776* that one-fourth of the military age male population died during the 8.5 years of the war. In terms of the 1790 US census, one in four men over age 16 and under age 60 died. In terms of the US population in 2019, that would be 6.5 million men. And we as a nation are ... more »

Goodbye Dollar, It Was Nice Knowing You!
[image: undefined] Over the past two years, the White House has initiated trade disputes, insulted allies and enemies alike, and withdrawn from or refused to ratify multinational treaties and agreements. It has also expanded the reach of its unilaterally imposed rules, forcing other nations to abide by its demands or face economic sanctions. While the stated Trump Administration intention has been to enter into new arrangements more favorable to the United States, the end result has been quite different, creating a broad consensus within the international community that Washington i... more »
Fourth of July Should Celebrate Liberty, Not Politicians Like Trump
[image: undefined] President Donald Trump’s plan to give an Independence Day televised address from the Lincoln Memorial has outraged many pundits and plenty of normal Americans, too. There has rarely been a shortage of political buncombe on July Fourth but Trump could, as usual, break all records. For Trump’s extravaganza, the Pentagon is bringing out of mothballs some World War II-era Sherman tanks. Though the gun turrets look impressive, Allied soldiers nicknamed Sherman tanks “Ronsons” because they were death traps that "light first every time” in clashes with better built Germa... more »
"The Founders Warned Us About the Evolution of Power"
*"The Founders Warned Us About the Evolution of Power"* By Bill Bonner "The metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly is one of the most remarkable things in nature. The animal apparently digests itself, using enzymes triggered by hormones. Then, from the pupa, a whole new animal develops – one with wings. Time and growth produce changes in institutions, too.

BWorld 344, Earthquakes and steel
* My column in BusinessWorld last Tuesday, July 02, 2019. There is understandable concern about the resilience of our structures, public and private, in withstanding earthquakes. But there is also alarmism being spread about the “Big One” happening soon in the Philippines. In late June, we experienced about 22 earthquakes a day on average and historically, we have experienced seven strong earthquakes with a magnitude of 7 to 7.9 since the 1960s (see Table 1). In my opinion the earthquake referred to as the “Big One” (8.0 +) happening in the Philippines is a long ways from happen... more »

Violent Deaths In The Paleolithic
The fossilized skull of a Paleolithic adult man from around 33,000 years ago and known as the Cioclovina calvaria has been extensively studied. But there was controversy over trauma on the skull--specifically a large fracture on the right aspect of the cranium and whether that specific fracture occurred at the time of death or as a postmortem event. Computer simulations using twelve synthetic bone spheres tested scenarios such as falls from various heights as well as single or double blows from rocks or bats. Along with these simulations, the authors inspected the fossil both visual... more »

The Myth of The Andalusian Paradise
I am reading DarÃo Fernández-Morera’s *The Myth of The Andalusian Paradise: Muslims, Christians, and Jews under Islamic Rule in Medieval Spain*. This is a hard-hitting book, written with the purpose of refuting the belief that Al-Andalus (Islamic Spain) was a land of peaceful coexistence under the benevolent supervision of enlightened Muslim rulers. The existence of a Muslim kingdom in Medieval Spain where different races and religions lived harmoniously in multicultural tolerance is one of today’s most wide-spread beliefs. Fernández-Morera says that this belief is a myth originate... more »

The M829A3 round is the current wide-issue for M1A1 and M1A2 Abrams crews and likely can defeat the armor of most tanks in the world today, including early T-72B3s and T-90As which still use Kontakt-5 ERA.* In the 1970s, the situation for NATO tank forces in Europe was grim.

Air Force B-2 Stealth Bomber: You Might See It At the 'Salute to America' Bash In D.C.
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * All you need to know. *Engineers working on stealth technology designs often try to reduce the “heat signature” or infrared/thermal sensor detectability of the aircraft. The more heat a bomber gives off in flight, the more enemy sensors and radar are likely to detect it. Therefore, it seems evident that a material less prone to degradation or disintegration at high- temperatures might likely lessen the heat signature emitted from decay or erosion taking place on the aircraft.* In a special interview designed to offer a rare look into the technologies ... more »
