Pennsylvania Just Got Ungerrymandered. Here's How That Looks For November
Nate Cohn's analysis of the new Pennsylvania congressional boundaries for the *NY Times* is very well-done. The key take-away is that the Democrats are likely to do a lot better under this map than they could have ever done under the grotesquely gerrymandered map the Republican legislature concotted. The old district lines had Trump winning 12 districts to 6 for Hillary. The new lines show Hillary with 8 and Trump with 10. In 2012 Romney won 12 to Obama's 5, even though Obama won the state 2,990,274 (51.97%) to 2,680,434 (46.59%). The new lines would have had Obama and Romney winn... more »

So You Thought We Could Terraform Mars In A Few Centuries?
You may have seen one of the SpaceX videos with Mars terraforming as it spins, spinning faster and faster and transforming from the current red Mars to a planet with an ocean and tinged with green in a half dozen revolutions. Of course that was poetic exaggeration - it wouldn't terraform in a week. So how long would it take? You may have read Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars Trilogy" during which Mars is terraformed in a couple of centuries. But that's science fiction, not a terraforming blue print. Is it possible at all, and how long do scientists think it would take? read more

BREAKING: Strangest paragraph of them all!
*MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2018The gang that coudn't troll straight:* Robert Mueller dropped 16 indictments on Russkie heads last Friday. The indictments concern alleged illegal electioneering, not the theft of Democratic emails or possible blackmailing of Donald J. Trump. How effective was this Russkie electioneering? We can't answer that question, but this strikes us as the strangest paragraph in last week's indictments: 31. In order to collect additional intelligence, Defendants and their co-conspirators posed as U.S. persons and contacted U.S. political and social activists. For e... more »

They live somewhere nearby, though I haven't found their nest. They are attracted to our hummingbird feeder, which we keep full of sugar water. What perfect little machines they are!

Day 8: Democrats afraid won't be reelected if reject GD welfare bill
- I got a call today from a friend who had spoken to one of LD 1781 sponsors - the Maine bill to give up to $60 million in corporate welfare to General Dynamics (GD). The friend told me the politician, a Democrat, was afraid she would not be reelected if she did not support the bill. This was the same Democrat who had tweeted against Maine Sen. Susan Collins (Republican) when she supported Trump's corporate tax bill that reduced the federal tax rate of GD to 19%. So in this case the Democrat state senator rationalizes her way out of this moral dilemma b... more »

UN Exposed as Haven for Child Rapists; More Scandals Coming
[image: un-exposed-as-haven-for-child-rapists-more-scandals-coming] After decades of United Nations “peacekeeping” troops and officials raping women and children all over the world with complete impunity and even “diplomatic immunity,” a chorus of global outrage is reaching epic proportions. A handful of predators are facing justice. But the tsunami of public fury comes as widely reported estimates suggest some 60,000 victims have been raped and sexually abused by UN officials over just the last decade — with almost nobody punished but the victims and whistleblowers.

Mueller's Russia Indictments: Covering Up For The Deep State?
Thirteen Russians and three Russian entities have been indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and accused of interference in the 2016 US elections.

But one thing is sure: no one is talking about the FBI FISA deception or about the real foreign collusion in the election, which is the Hillary campaign collusion with "former" British spy Christopher Steele to produce information to undermine support for Donald Trum... more »

The Leftist New Hot Take on Russian Trolls
It was once widely suspected and hard not to notice that democrat friendly media personalities were coordinating their narrative across multiple networks, shows, and publications.
