In short, it is the theory that there really isn’t a so-called “greenhouse effect”, and that the excess planetary […]

British Study Crunched 30 Years of Data and Discovered Something Shocking About Exercise and Weight Loss
It has always been underlying knowledge in the natural health community that nutrition plays a bigger role in overall health than strenuous exercise, and now one team of British researchers is arguing that the feeling is in fact quite true. In a 2015 edition of the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the team of three authors has argued against the well promoted theory that “exercise plays the most important role in weight loss” is false.

A supertanker meets its end
I was intrigued to read an article at Zero Hedge titled "Oil Tanker Firms Scrap Most Ships In Three Decades". It seems current economic conditions are sending a lot of otherwise useful ships to the breakers, because they're too costly to operate compared to more modern vessels. The impending change in maritime pollution regulations is also taking its toll, as it can cost upwards of $5 million to fit a vessel with the necessary scrubbers to allow it to continue to use low-cost, high-polluting fuel. If a ship's barely economical to operate at present, its owners are unlikely to be... more »

Trump Critics of Syria Withdrawal Fueled Rise of ISIS
[image: undefined] President Donald Trump’s announcement of an imminent withdrawal of US troops from northeastern Syria summoned a predictable paroxysm of outrage from Washington’s foreign policy establishment. Former Secretary of State and self-described “hair icon” Hillary Clinton perfectly distilled the bipartisan freakout into a single tweet, accusing Trump of “isolationism” and “playing into Russia and Iran’s hands.” Michelle Flournoy, the DC apparatchik who would have been Hillary’s Secretary of Defense, slammed the pull-out as “foreign policy malpractice,” while Hillary’s su... more »
Rough Times Ahead, But Liberty Can Still Win
[image: undefined] While Congress and the president fight over funding a border wall, they continue to ignore the coming economic tsunami caused by the approximately 22 trillion dollars (and rapidly increasing) federal debt. President Trump may not be troubled by the debt’s effect on the economy because he believes he will be out of office before it becomes a major problem. However, the crisis may come sooner than he, or most people in DC, expects. The constituency for limited government, while growing, is still far outnumbered by those wanting government to provide economic and per... more »

2018: The Year in Jihadism
2018 represented a sharp departure from previous years in terms of the sheer number of jihadist attacks in the West. Though attacks in Western Europe and North America were on a steady rise prior to this year, in 2018 they plunged, and jihadist attacks in the West in 2018 were fairly unsophisticated and significantly less lethal. Meanwhile, declines in other indicators traditionally used to assess the strength of the jihadist movement—numbers of arrests and individuals departing for conflict zones to fight alongside jihadist groups—point to an overall stagnation in jihadist activi... more »

The Parkland school shooting: rampant ineptitude and criminal stupidity
The Sun-Sentinel has published a detailed timeline of the Parkland school shooting last February. It's titled "Unprepared and Overwhelmed", which is a pretty good summation of the response by school and law enforcement authorities to the crisis. It makes terrifying reading for anyone who has kids at school today. If the authorities in Broward County screwed up so badly, are the authorities in your area likely to do better? *How can you be sure?* Two bloggers have posted their responses to the report. I'm going to quote from both of them, and urge you to click over to the sourc... more »

Tickle Me Elmo is for all ages
[image: Image may contain: 3 people, people sitting and indoor] This is a photo of my nephew David apparently doing a little emergency repair or battery replacement on his grandson’s Tickle Me Elmo. Someone had given a Tickle Me Elmo to my mother-in-law (maybe us, I don’t remember) when she was in a nursing home. She loved that toy and would squeeze it, and would just beam when it laughed. We inherited it after her death in 1998. Bob kept it on a shelf in his office, and one day I suppose the battery malfunctioned and it began vibrating and giggling on its own. Sort of creepy.

Did a Russian-Made Missile Really Hit an Israeli Air Force F-35 Stealth Fighter?
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Here are the facts... *Or not...: “Although we cannot rule the possibility out entirely, as Freud would say—sometimes a bird strike is just a bird strike.”* Did a Russian anti-aircraft missile hit one of Israel’s new F-35 stealth fighters? Pro-Russian media are claiming that an Israeli F-35I was hit and damaged by a Russian-made S-200 surface-to-air missile during an Israeli air strike in Syria earlier this month.

A History of Washington's Debt Ceiling
With the recent budget impasse in Washington, it seemed like a prudent exercise to look at the fiscal regime in the American capital given the partial shutdown and federal budget issues that seem to appear on a fairly regular basis. As I have done in the past, let's look at how often Washington has suspended and raised the debt limit as well as invoking the use of "extraordinary measures" to ensure that the services provided by the federal government to taxpayers remain intact. The modern debt limit was created in 1939 as the Public Debt Act of 1939 and was replaced with the Publi... more »

The Ethical Problem in Philosophers
The Four Philosophers, by RubensThere is an ethical problem in philosophers—they want to find the truth, but they will not accept it. Etienne Gilson comments on this problem in Chapter 3, “The Road to Skepticism,” of his book *The Unity of Philosophical Experience*. Here’s an excerpt: There is an ethical problem at the root of our philosophical difficulties; for men are most anxious to find truth, but very reluctant to accept it. We do not like to be cornered by rational evidence, and even when truth is there, in its impersonal and commanding objectivity, our greatest difficulty s... more »
