Business, As Usual
"Business can and must be a force for good", said Jo Swinson in her cringe-making, arse-licking speech at the CBI this afternoon. "We owe you so much for what you do, you create wealth in our country, build world-leading industries, and enable investment in our public services." The effusive praise the LibDem leader heaped on the assembled would have been too unseemly even for Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair. In reality, despite Swinson's warm, ego-stroking words there is little world beating about British business and the class it props up. Despite guzzling up entire menus of tax c... more »

"A Strange Demand..."
“All ages have said and repeated that one should strive to know one's self. This is a strange demand which no one up to now has measured up to and, strictly considered, no one should. With all their study and effort, people are directed to what is outside, to the world about them, and they are kept busy coming to know this and to master it to the extent that their purposes require. How can you come to know yourself? Never by thinking, always by doing. Try to do your duty, and you'll know right away what you amount to. And what is your duty? Whatever the day calls for.” - Johann Wolf... more »
"The Builders"
*"The Builders"* by Robert Gore "Where liberty is, there is my country." - Benjamin Franklin "The builders will be in the driver’s seat. Debt is any enemy of government’s perfect ally. The more a government borrows the more it’s weakened. The consequences of debt, required repayment of principal, and compounding interest are inexorable, forestalled by central bank and government machinations but never prevented. The longer they forestall the more severe the consequences. Central banks and governments have fostered the world’s greatest debt bubble and promoted negative interest rate... more »

The Bad Arguments That Trump Didn’t Commit Bribery
President Trump Departs for Louisiana (Source: Flickr/Official White House Photo by Tia Dufour) Last month, we and another colleague at Protect Democracy argued that the meaning of “bribery” as the term is used in the Constitution goes beyond the criminal offense of bribery as defined in the U.S. Code. Because the Constitution pre-dated the federal criminal code, the meaning of “bribery” referenced in the Impeachment Clause cannot be found in the statutory prohibition on bribery, and therefore some modern constraints that Congress and courts have placed on that criminal offense ar... more »

The standard issue rifle of the average soldier tends to be among the oldest equipment issued by a military. Russian Ground and Airborne Troops use variations of a rifle designed in the 1970s, the U.S. military uses variations of a design from the late 1950s.

When the HK released the HK416 in the early 2000s, it rapidly became a hit with elite military and police forces worldwide. Driven by a slick marketing campaign and favorable (albeit disputed) test results from the U.S. military, the HK416 represented a “better mousetrap” version of the AR-family of rifles for many users. Though the advantages of the HK416 have become debatable in modern years, with upgr... more »

It's been obvious for a long time!
*MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2019No, we aren't making this up:* Earlier today, we discussed the so-called "dullard journalism" currently being popularized by the New York Times. Principally, experts use that term to refer to a type of journalism which avoids facts and information in favor of novelized storylines—supersimplified renderings which may even border on fable and fairy tale. Why is American health care spending so astoundingly high? Within the school of "dullard journalism," a question like that will never be answered, and the reason is simple: In the world of "dullard journa... more »

Mouse Study Claims Mediterranean Diet Causes Endogenous Cannabinoid Changes Which They Link To ADHD In Human Offspring
An exploratory study in cell cultures and mice finds that in their rodents high-fat diets throughout pregnancy (rich in polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids) impacted fetal brain development. Don’t be alarmed, mice are not little people so a mouse study can only ever disqualify an effect, it can never show one in humans. Mice studies (and epidemiology) are termed "exploratory" because they can only suggest a link and will need relevant study before they can relate to humans, regardless what *Huffington Post* or *Guardian* may forget to note in their articles. read more
