Rural Voters Are Increasingly Wary Of Trump's Lies
The crackpot illegitimate "president" was in Iowa the other day. At his rally there he said "I’m not going to lose in this state. I don’t think I’m going to lose in any other state." Yep, he's lost his mind. The newest numbers from the Morning Consult Trump tracker show his net approval in Iowa has decreased by 18 points since he moved his fat ass into the White House. His approval rating in Iowa is jus 44% and his disapproval is 53%-- so a negative rating of 9 points. He hasn't gained ground in a single state and besides Iowa, he's underwater in 7 others tates he won in 2016: *•... more »

Nightmarish possibilities in the coming year (1)
Twenty years ago, Bill Eskridge and I published a co-edited book *Constitutional Stupidities, Constitutional Tragedies, *the first part of which asked a number of distinguished scholars to pick what they believed was the stupidest (and potentially most dangerous) feature of the Constitution. Only Mark Tushnet at that time had the wisdom to suggest that the correct answer might be "the whole thing." My own nomination was the eleven-week delay between election day and the inauguration of a new President, which has regularly left the US without a truly functioning government during th... more »
Apocalyptic fears: coronavirus, economics... and could he nuke the world?
As the coronavirus roils world markets and rattles our sci-fi nerves with dire possibilities, it does make sense to look at the death rates from this ailment... at least the rates that have been released by the PRC masters. So far, they appear to be flu-like, not anywhere near plague or movie-pandemic levels. Indeed, it is only because of advanced science that we know it is *not* just another somewhat harsh flu. Indeed, it is not the reported lethality rate but the rapidity that it went to rapid human-to-human transmission that both perplexes and worries me. That plus the potentia... more »

Daniel Burke for Senate Campaign Makes Big Impact at WildWood, NJ Trump Rally
*by Daniel Burke, burke4senate.com* The Burke for Senate campaign brought Beethoven to Trump’s rally in Wildwood, New Jersey on Tuesday, January 28. The small shore town was completely taken over by Trumps rally, but it is fair to say that Trump’s rally was similarly taken over by the LaRouche candidate. Several other senatorial, gubernatorial, and house of representatives candidates and their campaign teams were in attendance, but none had the presence of our campaign in fact, none of them had any literature to speak of. Meanwhile, our merry team included 24 people at its height,... more »

Winston Churchill is remembered as a highly successful politician, but his record at the ballot box was far more chequered than many might think.

Here's How Science Can Help You Choose What's For Dinner
*P.K. Newby* *Technology, * Food impacts so much more than your weight. Do you feel like nutritionists are always changing their minds?

On The Importance of Faith
Without faith knowledge is not possible. Faith does not entail just the faith in god; in my opinion, faith can also refer to the ability that we have to believe in the unproven conventions and in one’s own or someone else’s rationalizations. Faith is necessary because certain knowledge of the universe is beyond the scope of man’s mind. The metaphysical and moral theories, which form the basis of all knowledge, cannot be rationally demonstrated; they have to be founded on faith (on religious or idealistic considerations). A perfect being, or god, would not need faith because he is om... more »

When Destroyers Were Too Large For Vietnam, Navy Swift Boats Answered The Call
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Asia* Its destroyers and other warships being too large, the U.S. Navy developed the Swift Boat to patrol coastal areas and rivers during the Vietnam War. In addition to standard aircraft carrier and warship patrol operations in the open sea, naval action during the Vietnam War developed a character of its own. While the U.S. Navy maintained responsibility for more traditional functions, the interior waterways of Vietnam became an area of operations that required a different approach.

Expect More Evidence Of Trump's Guilt To Continue To Seep Out Despite The Senate's Decision To Perpetrate A Coverup
Lisa Murkowski wimped out on even just calling Bolton as a witness and so did retiring Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander. Why? John Harwood wrote that "Trump's vituperative attacks, regularly trained on critics through his vast social media following, make every Republican politician wary of crossing him. But that represents the lesser factor in the party's fealty. More significantly, decades of American political realignment have tightened the bonds holding Republicans together in any high-stakes fight with Democrats.

"If President Trump is not impeached, the American people might get a say in who is president," Schiff said gravely. "We simply can't allow that to happen. We must diligently defend our electoral process against electoral outcomes we do not like."
