Mueller’s Testimony: The Baton Passes to Congress
Robert Mueller testifies before the House Intelligence Committee. (CSPAN) There was something very sad about the atmospherics of today’s testimony by Robert S. Mueller III at the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees—at least at first. It wasn’t just the frank and nearly absolute partisanship of both affairs, with interest in the substance of Mueller’s findings confined almost exclusively to the Democrats and interest in discrediting Mueller and his investigation emerging as the chief concern of nearly every Republican. It was Mueller himself, whose performance fell short of ... more »

From Big Bang to Whimper
All the philosophical movements of 20th century began with a big bang and ended with a whimper. Why did they fail so spectacularly? They failed because these movements were launched by intellectuals who vastly overestimated their knowledge and intelligence, and vastly underestimated the scope of philosophy. They thought that they could play god and develop a philosophy that is so perfect that its essential characteristics are timelessness and universality. But within a few years their movements floundered in a welter of inconsistencies and contradictions, and they lost their reputat... more »

This Will Not End Well for Democrats
Why didn't Mueller charge Joseph Mifsud for lying to the FBI? pic.twitter.com/34E6TSigcM — Rep.

"A Look to the Heavens"
“NGC 134 is probably not the best known spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. Still, the tantalizing island universe is a clearly a telescopic treasure in southern skies. It shares a bright core, clumpy dust lanes, and loosely wrapped spiral arms with spiky foreground stars of the Milky Way and the more diminutive galaxy NGC 131 in this sharp cosmic vista. *Click image for larger size.* From a distance of about 60 million light-years, NGC 134 is seen tilted nearly edge-on.

Chet Raymo, “The Dark Angel”
*“The Dark Angel”* by Chet Raymo “The American Civil War claimed an estimated 620,000 lives, approximately the same number as in all of the nation's other wars put together. Compared to the size of the country's population, six times as many young men died between 1861 and 1865 as in World War II. Few American families, north or south, were unaffected. Lincoln insisted at Gettysburg "that these dead shall not have died in vain."

The Mueller Hearing: Learning Nothing and Forgetting Nothing
*Hunter DeRensis* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Robert Mueller, who has spent a lifetime grilling witnesses, proved a singularly recalcitrant one himself, offering a master class in how to evade questions.

The Mueller report was released months ago, subjected to forensic scrutiny, and ultimately ended up being a damp squib for those who reckoned that it would bring down the Trump presidency. Today’s hearings on Capitol Hill were a reprise as a reticent Robert Mueller, after months of refusals and negotiations, testified before two different House committ... more »

Wikipedia is Ruled by Skeptics with Biased Agendas: Wrong on 90% of Medical Advice
You may think Wikipedia — originally funded with revenue from soft-core pornography — is the best thing since Cliff Notes, with quick and easy access to all the facts and news you ever needed to know.

Texas Senator Exposes Corruption with CPS and Child Abuse Doctors Over Medical Kidnapping of 4-Year-Old Child
When the overreaching heavy hand of the government leads to even one instance of injustice, a little bit of liberty is lost for all citizens. On July 2, 2019, in Kaufman County, Texas, another piece of liberty was chipped from our society. Once again, in a very sad courtroom scene, the “legal” abduction of a 4-year-old child by the Texas Child Protective Service (CPS) was upheld by what can only be described as an egregious miscarriage of justice. During a hearing, that lasted more than six hours, little to no evidence was presented that indicated either parent, of the 4-year-old b... more »

With air pollution a distant memory outside some pockets in the United States (or during wildfires), the U.S. EPA oddly embraced one paper, which they had not seen any data for(1), claiming that particles so small they could only be detected with an electron microscope, 2.5 microns in size, were killing people. Data didn't show it, but it doesn't matter and that is the great thing about modern epidemiology. In this decade, epidemiologists only need to show a statistical correlation and then they get media coverage and hand it off to scientists and tell them to show it. It's sort of ... more »
