American Jews Are Loyal Americans And Most Agree With Rashida's Grandmother Regarding Vicious Racist Trump: "May God Ruin You!"
Trump's overtly racist campaign for president in 2016 increased Jewish participation and their percentage of the electorate rose from 2% in 2008 and 2012 to 3% in 2016. You know what else rose? In the 2012 election 69% of Jewish voters cast their ballots for President Obama and 30% voted for Mitt Romney. With Trump on the ballot, 71% of Jews voted for Hillary and just 24% voted for Trump. Even though most Jews see Trump as a danger to democracy and a danger to the country, most Jews also believe it is possible for a Jew to support Trump without automatically making them unpatrioti... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“This rock structure is not only surreal - it's real. The reason it's not more famous is that it is, perhaps, smaller than one might guess: the capstone rock overhangs only a few meters. Even so, the King of Wings outcrop, located in New Mexico, USA, is a fascinating example of an unusual type of rock structure called a hoodoo. Hoodoos may form when a layer of hard rock overlays a layer of eroding softer rock. *Click image for larger size.* Figuring out the details of incorporating this hoodoo into a night-sky photoshoot took over a year.

What are we behind the things we do in our lives, behind what we see in others and what others see in us, or even behind things science says we are?

Each of us explores possibility, hungry for sustaining adoration, yet we know enough to render ourselves helpless.

Why I Support Conservative Politics?
The USA and the UK are the only two advanced democracies that have avoided a revolutionary uprising in the last 200 years.

The conservatives, unlike the liberals and the socialists, reject the idea that human beings can be perfected—they under... more »

Federal GMO Rules - An End To Patchwork States Bills Or Going DARK?
A bipartisan duo has floated the idea of putting an end to having 50 rules for 50 states when it comes to labels on genetically modified foods. The federal government is usually hands off about processes that don't involve safety - they don't do spot testing of organic or kosher food, for example they rely on companies to be honest in filling out paperwork and for the public to be punitive when food makers are unethical. Likewise, GMO is just a process, so the FDA and the USDA hasn't much cared, as long as products show substantial equivalence. read more

Japanese government acknowledges the global warming pause
Instead of discouraging the use of coal, Japan is increasing its number of coal-fired power plants by 35 percent. Data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) clearly indicates that there has been no significant deviation in the monthly average temperature between 1998 and 2018. Apparently based on that knowledge, Prime Minister Shinzō Abe has sanctioned ...

Even the poorest people can afford food, what were once booms and busts of famine and plenty have now leveled off, poverty declines are ahead of U.N. goals, and even centralized energy in developing countries, which could help a billion people, is attainable if western states stop telling poor nations they can only get World Bank help if it's not coal, natural gas, or nuclear.

When campaign songs were tied to gaffe culture!
*THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 2019Anthropology Then:* Last night, Lawrence O'Donnell got something right. Needless to say, his slacker network hasn't yet gotten around to creating a transcript of his program. So we'll have to wait another day to show you what he did. In the meantime, we told you that the New York Times' exegesis of the various candidates' campaign songs is part of a long, dumb history. Let's recall a pitiful time when one candidate's choice of songs was tied to the press corps' beloved "gaffe culture." During Campaign 2000, the songs one major candidate used became, i... more »

The Horrific Reason Germany's Air Force Called the F-104 Starfighter “Widow Maker”
*Dario Leone* *Technology, Europe* [image: Reuters] Terrible. *It quickly became obvious that it was not really what the U.S. Air Force (USAF) wanted, and it was quietly shunted to the sidelines.* The first futuristic-looking F-104 Starfighter flew in early 1956 and with its long circular fuselage, sharply pointed nose, and tiny, thin wings, it looked every inch the best fighter in the world. Designed by C. L. “Kelly” Johnson and his “Skunk Works,” who developed some iconic combat-planes such as the U-2 and the SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, the Lockheed F-104 was dubbed by the ... more »

The Politics of Russia's Primorsky Krai
*Akshobh Giridharadas* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] Sitting nearly four thousand miles away from Moscow, Russia's eastern region of Primorsky Krai thinks and acts differently than its western countrymen.

But that is assuming one is flying westward over the Atlantic or crossing the pond, as the Brits like to fondly refer to transatlantic destinations. But a nine-hour journey flying eastwards, over seven time-zones across the Urals and over Siberia, wouldn’t necessarily get you to Japan. I... more »

"All AND Nothing..."
"Pursuing happiness, and I did, and I still do, is not at all the same as being happy- which I think is fleeting, dependent on circumstances... If the sun is shining, stand in it - yes, yes, yes.

What you are pursuing is meaning- a meaningful life. There's the hap - the fate, the draw that is yours, and it isn't fixed, but changing the course of the stream, or dealing new cards, whatever metaphor you want to use, tha... more »

Yet it's impulse to exist, to be, is every bit as strong as ours- arguably even stronger.

The Wrong Amazon is Burning
There isn't much more depressing than watching the Amazon burn. And is there anything more infuriating than watching Jair Bolsonaro trolling the world about it? The crooked, clownish creep has argued NGOs are torching the jungle because he cut their funding, and feeding off the blowback he's moved in to false contrition. Brazil doesn't have the resources to fight the fires he claims, and that's that. The sun rises in the morning, and rain forests are getting reduced to ash. Such is the order of things and he can't do anything about it. It's tempting to blame Bolsonaro for all that ... more »
