Corporatists Behaving Badly
Let me get this straight. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Trump Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin have miraculously just come to a silky-smooth bipartisan budget agreement that rips the feathers right off the deficit hawks and kills the Obama-era Sequester and fake debt ceiling crises all in one swoop. The catch is that the debt ceiling truce is only for two years. So if a Democrat wins the White House and the GOP holds the Senate it will be back to deficit hawkery as a bipartisan weapon to kill any possible resurgence of the New Deal. Meanwhile, Trump is happy because the deal prote... more »

First Time Users Try Recreational Drugs During Recreational Summers
There are only four seasons so one of them is going to win when it comes to drug use, and it's little surprise that season for teenagers is summer,when kids are not in school.

In addition, 30 percent of marijuana, 30 percent of ecstasy (MDMA/Molly), and 28 percent of cocaine use was found to begin in summer months.

On The Unity Between Plato and Aristotle
The idea that for two millennia history has been the expression of a “philosophical duel” between Aristotle and Plato is the outcome of the Marxist and Nihilistic thinking of the 19th century. Karl Popper and Bertrand Russell are the major proponents of this theory which holds that Plato is the philosopher of mysticism, totalitarianism, and nihilism; whereas Aristotle is the philosopher of individualism, classical liberalism, and an objective view of reality. This kind of thinking obscures the fact that Plato and Aristotle have a lot in common and that they have marched hand in han... more »

Had there been a crash, and from what others had said, they were all cautioned about sharing of classified material with those who weren’t cleared to receive it.

All Is Quiet at North Korea's Punggye-ri Nuclear Test Facility: Report
*David Axe* *Security, * But for how long? Eighteen months after North Korea shut down its Punggye-ri nuclear test facility, there has been no major observable activity at the site. But the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un clearly is maintaining Punggye-ri and could reactivate the site with little notice. North Korea likewise hasn’t tested a longer-range ballistic missile -- the kind that could carry a nuke over great distance -- since late 2017. That testing-halt, like the ongoing shuttering of Punggye-ri, could be temporary. “Commercial satellite imagery from early J... more »

How School Choice Undermines Democratic Processes
Opponents of school choice in its many forms often talk about processes and institutions and policies, but one way to grasp choice-created problems is simple, old fashioned, and non wonky. Just look at who is holding the purse strings.

Every person who pays into the system gets a vote on how the system uses their money. We'll probably want a bigger purse In a voucher or charter sy... more »

Some climate alarmists embrace chemtrails

Why would you get obsessed with the innocent "man-made clouds" whose main component is clearly partly condensed water vapor? Well, not all of them are right-wing.

Perfecting skills for a specific sport is done easiest when the body is already in overall peak shape with even moderate skills to begin with. We really have to lay off these kids and focus on skills. Back in the day, strength took a back se... more »
