Girl: feminists in social services enabled the suicide+murder of my younger sisters by our mother
One week ago, James Younger's reproductive organs and his dignity were threatened when a Dallas jury voted 11-to-1 to allow the non-biological mother of the 7-year-old boy (who has an identical twin brother, Judy) to eliminate the biological father Jeffrey Younger from the boy's life and continue with the "transition" of James into "Luna", a girl. The woman's plan was that aside from the "social transition" that was already ongoing, the hormonal castration would start at age of 11.5. A video showing a 3-year-old James makes it clear that the idea that "he was a girl" was imposed on ... more »
Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Here's the President Of The United States Of America, "the leader of the 'free' world," the "dear leader" and cherished icon of the Republican Party, the servant of Putin and the traitor to his country. The picture for tonight's meme was taken at a recent get together with other world leaders and as you can see, Trump did a fine job of representing the intelligence of the American voter. While doing so, he very ably indicated how he would fare if he was to take an IQ test. Not to worry, he says he's very smart. Not only that, his supporters believe him. He even actually ... more »
"What Is The Point?"
"What is the point? We assume that every time we do anything we know what the consequences will be, i.e., more or less what we intend them to be. This is not only not always correct. It is wildly, crazily, stupidly, cross-eyed-blithering-insectly wrong!" - Douglas Adams, “The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide”
“5 Things Nobody Tells You About Being Poor”
*“5 Things Nobody Tells You About Being Poor”* by John Cheese “Being poor is like a game of poker where if you lose, the other players get to screw you. And if you win, the dealer screws you. A bunch of you reading this are among the 45 million “working poor” in America, and if you’re not, you know somebody who is. Like me.

In 1968, the USS Pueblo Incident Almost Caused a Second Korean War
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Asia* [image: Reuters] A close call. *Key point:* North Korean aggression and horrible treatment of American POWs could have led to a massive retaliation. A U.S. Army light freighter launched during World War II, the fifty-four-meter-long *Pueblo *had been recommissioned by the Navy in 1966s to serve as an “environmental research ship,” with two civilian oceanographers on board. This was a flimsy cover for the truth: the *Pueblo* was a spy ship, charged with intercepting and recording wireless transmissions and monitoring electronic emissions. Period... more »
Worse than Pearl Harbor? How America Lost the Philippines to Imperial Japan

*"Simple Minds"* by Tim Knight "We live in a very complex word, and it grows more complex by the day. But let's set aside all the uncertainties, possibilities, relationships, and exogenous outliers.

*From Disorganized Crime by Nancy Ohanian* You've heard Trump whining and moaning about the Ukraine scandal whistleblower for what seems like months already.

Cheap, Stealth and Insanely Dangerous: 'AIP' Submarines are Real Killers
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * A cheaper alternative to nuclear propulsion. *Key point: *Diesel-electric submarines have become cheaper, efficient killers One of the most crucial improvements in submarines of the postwar era is the air independent propulsion (AIP) system. First fielded in the 1990s, the development of AIP changed the ways non-nuclear submarines operated, allowing them to fight—and hide—underwater longer. Combined with their extreme quietness, the use of AIP has made modern diesel-electric subs efficient killers, capable of stalking and sinking their prey even in a... more »

Traditionalism and Anti-Novelty as Modes of Constitutional Interpretation: The Case of Tax-Exemption for Churches
Marc DeGirolami has posted an interesting extension of his argument for traditionalism as a mode of constitutional interpretation. He knows that one key issue associated with traditionalism is the characterization of the tradition: "How narrowly or broadly can a court draw any given practice to construct a tradition?" Referring to the Bladensburg cross case, DeGirolami criticizes Justice Breyer for "drawing" the practice with reference solely to the very cross at issue -- properly so, in some sense, because you can't use was I think philosophers would call a "token" as the more gener... more »
