A Humorous Picture That Exemplifies the Lizzy Warren Campaign (Minus The Shakes)
Got to credit the AP photographer, John Locher, with deliberately framing his photograph to catch text that is relevant, meaningful, and humorous: Yeah, she's so happy to be striding in waving a big "Hi, I'm here with the old socialist idea of taking your money." Even in that incredibly depressing Nevada environment, walled in with teal-trimmed white jail house cinder blocks, she looks more like someone who just made bail then a presidential candidate.
Trump Takes the Immigration Fight to the Next Level
*Hunter DeRensis* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Whether putting restrictions on illegal or legal immigration, conservatives believe putting a stop to the large influx of people in the United States is in the best interest of Americans. Yesterday the Trump administration rolled out its latest immigration policy, a new rule that would restrict the public benefits available to green card holders and legal residents. Current immigration law bars entry for people likely “to become a public charge,” although that term is not well-defined. The new rule specifies “public charge”... more »
How America Planned to 'Sink' Imperial Japan's Navy: Nuclear Weapons?
*Steve Weintz* *Security, * All options were really on the table? *The first test, Shot Able on June 30, 1946, fell from a B-29 and landed 2,100 feet off its target. The screw-up marred the test data and provoked a military investigation. Shot Able nevertheless sank five ships and consumed the “demon core,” the plutonium that had already killed two Los Alamos scientists.* Less than a year after the formal end of World War II the United States tested its new superweapons in peacetime. Operation Crossroads in 1946 at Bikini Atoll tested the effects of nuclear weapons on naval fle... more »

America's Little-Known Mission to Support Al Qaeda's Role in Libya
*Alan J. Kuperman* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The rebellion in Libya was led by Islamist veterans of wars in the Middle East. Thus, the United States and its allies, not realizing it at the time, intervened to support a group of terrorists. THE 2011 intervention in Libya, authorized by the United Nations and led by the United States and some NATO allies, has been criticized for two main reasons. First, it was justified on phony grounds—that Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi was slaughtering civilians, when in fact he was carefully targeting rebels who had attacked fi... more »

My Comment To EPA Recommending Tyrone Hayes Not Be Admitted To The FIFRA SAP
Comments opened on the recent EPA nominations to serve on the Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) established under section 25(d) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), since three member terms will expire during the next year. The name at number 7 on the list(1) is of particular concern, because he would be serving on an EPA SAP after stating that the EPA SAP once called about a study he got published in PNAS was collaborating with pesticide companies.

The Levelland Landing and Sheriff Weir Clem
As many of you know, I have long thought that the Levelland sightings of November 2/3, 1957, are among the best. There are multiple witnesses in multiple locations who reported their cars stopped and their lights dimmed at the close approach of a glowing red (and sometimes blue) egg-shaped craft. Dr. Don Burleson, who lives in Roswell which is not all that far from Levelland (which is near Lubbock), made a personal trip there. While he was unable to interview Sheriff Weir Clem, who had died, he did speak to the daughter. According to an article in the *Roswell Daily Record*, “Aided... more »

A Look at Peikoff’s Essay, “The Analytic-Synthetic Dichotomy”
Ayn Rand; Immanuel KantLeonard Peikoff’s essay, “The Analytic-Synthetic Dichotomy,” (*Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology*, edited by Harry Binswanger and Leonard Peikoff; Page 88-121), cannot be taken seriously because it is too polemical and full of false assertions. He opens his essay by making the appalling claim that the tenets of “the analytic-synthetic dichotomy” are penetrating our “intellectual atmosphere like the germs of an epistemological black plague” which spreads “subjectivism and conceptual devastation in its wake.” He goes on to suggest that “it is deadly.” ... more »
