Dismiss, Acquit or Vacate
Ted Noel writing in N.O.Q. Report brings up the point the Senate should Vacate the charges against President Trump, thereby making sure democrats would need to be more diligent in identifying charges and if they meet the standards for impeachment in the Constitution. 0-0 I’m no lawyer and I don’t play one on TV but this makes a lot of sense.

Killing unborn girls because the mother wants a boy may be becoming common in America
There is no indication that sex selection abortions, which almost always result in the execution of a girl, are having a massive impact on American's in general. However certain ethnic subpopulations are showing clear signs of significant numbers of sex selection abortions. Here's the plot of the number of boys born for every 100 girls who are born. Throughout human history there have generally been between 103 and 105 boys born for every 100 girls. Obviously there are variations but remember that if say 10% of Asian Americans had a sex selection abortion and we assume that without... more »
It's official; Adam Schiff is insane
In his closing arguments to the Senate Adam Schiff said that it would be a non-criminal action for Trump to unilaterally offer Alaska to Russia. I'm not sure but I suspect that giving away a state without a vote or Congressional approval is illegal. Heck we fought a war against the Democrats who wanted to take multiple states out of the Union so that they could keep slavery legal so odds are somewhere it says that the President can't give away a state. But the real insanity is that Schiff would think that Trump would give away a state with two Republican Senators.
Unfortunate Truth? How a Lot of Business Success Is Just Due to Plain Old Luck
*Chengwei Liu* *Economics, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2013%3Anewsml_GM1E94S143I01&share=true] Really? Bestselling business books promise to teach you the winning formula and reveal the secrets of success. But the inconvenient truth is that exceptional successes in business are largely based on luck. No rule exists for achieving exceptional performance because it usually requires doing something different or novel and there can be no recipe for such innovation.

Why Lamar Alexander Struck the Perfect Note On Impeachment

When elected officials inappropriately interfere with such investigations, it undermines the principle of equal justice under the law.

Bernie Sanders doesn't believe in charities

Yet it's Democrats who say that Republicans hack elections.

On The Essence Of “I”
The ultimate metaphysical problem is the problem of being. One being with whom all of us are intimate is the entity we identify as “I”. But what does the word “I” refer to? Does it refer to the body, the soul, or the mind? Those who reject dualism will assert that there is no distinction between the body and mind and that the soul doesn’t exist. But even in a non-dualistic system there is a differentiation between the mind and the body—the mind is regarded as an attribute or function of the brain. I can’t see how one can identify the essence of “I” without accepting some form of dua... more »

Why Aircraft Carriers Will Remain the Backbone of the Navy Indefinitely
*Robert Farley* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC1F4ED44030&share=true] What a legacy. *Key point:* Aircraft carriers revolutionized naval warfare and doomed battleships to the dustbin of history. Even today, they remain powerful and difficult to sink. *HMS Furious*, the first real aircraft carrier, entered service in early 1918.

How do you meet new people at 80?
I'm finding that the gym is an easier place to meet people than church. Today I met a retired Army General while riding the exercycle. He was reading a magazine I'd never seen, "Veritas : journal of army special operations history," so I asked him about it. He'd entered the service as a private right out of high school and retired 37 years later as a General. The military paid for his bachelor’s and two masters degrees. He looked like he was about 30, but I did a little math and figured he had to be at least 55, but was probably older. Last Friday on the cycle I met a lovely you... more »
Why does the Squad fight against ICE?
ICE is the biggest fighter against sex slavery and pedophilia in the world. ICE removed enough opioids coming into the country the past year to kill our entire population twice over. But the "Squad" (all Democrats and supporters of Bernie Sanders for President) wants ICE dismantled. Now why would that be? Why would these four women support such evil crimes against women and children and families? We can't allow our elected officials to bad mouth and disrespect law enforcement. They didn't write the laws; they enforce them. "HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] arrested 5,750 cri... more »
USED Pitches Privatization To Wyoming
Mitchell Zais, Deputy Secretary of Education, last week visited Wyoming to stump for school choice. He wrote for the Wyoming Parent his version of the department's sales pitch for Betsy DeVos's Education Freedom vouchery program. Wyoming parents (and taxpayers), this is a bit of a snow job. Let me explain. He opens by recognizing that humans are individuals, so that he can say this: *So why does American education group students by age, and expect them to learn the same material, on the same schedule, pretty much in the same way?* This guyThe answer is: they don't. In fact, they so... more »
Energy & Environmental Newsletter: February 3, 2020
By John Droz, Jr. February 3, 2020 The *Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions* (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy, environmental and education policies. Our premise is that technical matters like these should be addressed by using Real Science (please consult WiseEnergy.org for more information). A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every two± weeks we put together a newsletter to balance what is found in the mainstream media about energy and the environment. We app... more »
Far-left "Journalist" Freaks Out About Conservatives
[image: alex-newman-far-left-journalist-freaks-out-about-conservatives] VIDEO - At the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP25) in Madrid, The New American magazine's foreign correspondent was minding his own business asking people for their opinions. Suddenly, a guy walks up to the people Newman was interviewing and warns them that The New American is a "right-wing" magazine. Apparently, this far-left activist, Micah Garen, who has worked with George Soros' foundation and the UN, believes journalists should preface questions by explaining their own political opinions. Yet he... more »
Iowa caucuses, Super Bowl viewers!
*MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2020Numbers that aren't what they seem:* This evening, we're celebrating one of our dumbest national rituals—the quadrennial Iowa caucuses. No one can explain how they actually work. No one even *attempts* to explains why they work that way. To maintain belief in the reasonableness of the system, journalists avoid taking note of the very small number of Iowa voters who actually take part. As with so many of our failing systems, the whole thing is a gong show, a rather embarrassing mess. We decided to skip this topic today since all such discussion is pointle... more »

A Professor Asks a Serious Question: Can Anthrax Cure Cancer?
*R. Claudio Aguilar* *Security, * Let's test it on dogs first to make sure. Can the feared anthrax toxin become an ally in the war against cancer? Successful treatment of pet dogs suffering bladder cancer with an anthrax-related treatment suggest so. Anthrax is a disease caused by a bacterium, known as *Bacillus anthracis*, which releases a toxin that causes the skin to break down and forms ulcers, and triggers pneumonia and muscle and chest pain. To add to its sinister resumé, and underscore its lethal effects, this toxin has been infamously used as a bioweapon. However, my co... more »
Javelin Time: This Missile Is How NATO Would Wipeout Russia's Tanks
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC2APD9RTWTJ&share=true] A mighty weapon. *Key point:* Javelin anti-tack missiles are powerful and effective. Washington knows that these weapons will be on the front lines during an invasion by Russian forces. The U.S.-made FGM-148 Javelin is one of the premier portable anti-tank missile systems in the world. It’s also an expensive piece of kit, with each missile typically costing more than the targets it eliminates. Still, the infrared guided Javelin has prove... more »

Pyongyang doesn't want war, but it isn't afraid to saber-rattle to get what it wants. Let’s get one thing out of the way. North Korea is not crazy. News pundits, talking heads and headline writers love to deride the North Korean leadership—and leaders Kim Jong Il and Ki... more »
How the Powerful T-72MJ Has a Mixed Western and Russian Heritage
*Charlie Gao* *History, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC13C0F72810&share=true] Fascinating. *Key Fact:* The T-72MJ is so unique and rare because it was born in Yugoslavia. That country tried to stay neutral during the Cold War and so courted both Moscow and Washington. One of the strongest industries of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) was its defense industry. During the Cold War, the SFRY flirted with both the West and the East, procuring and developing indigenous weapons based on technology from bot... more »
Expert: Iran’s Leaders Know Their Military Is Outdated. They Don’t Care
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* “Never have I seen a country more cognizant of its conventional military deficiencies.” Iran’s conventional weaponry is hopelessly out of date, and the country’s leaders know it, according to one expert. But conventional military inferiority hardly fazes Tehran. Iran has found other ways of exerting influence on the world. “Never have I seen a country more cognizant of its conventional military deficiencies,” Behnam Ben Taleblu, an expert on the Iranian military at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Sean Naylor of Yahoo News.

Spy Birds: How France Is Using Albatrosses to Look for Illegal Fishing Boats
*Samantha Patrick* *Technology, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2012%3Anewsml_TM3E8641NPU01&share=true] Clever. Wandering albatrosses have long been considered exceptional creatures. They can fly 8.5 million kilometres during their lifetimes – the equivalent of flying to the Moon and back more than ten times. Their three-and-a-half-metre wing span is the same length as a small car and they can weigh as much as 24 puffins. Their body shape means they can effortlessly glide over the ocean waves, flying in some of the strongest winds on Eart... more »

Government Funded Study Confirms Kids do Worse in Foster Care than Those Who Have Never Been in Foster Care
Another major study confirms what many other studies have found, and what we have published here at Health Impact News over the past several years many times: The Foster Care System is a huge failure that harms children, and children who never enter the Foster Care System do much better. The most recent study was funded by you, the American taxpayer, and conducted by the CDC: "Demographic, Health Care, and Fertility-related Characteristics of Adults Aged 18–44 Who Have Ever Been in Foster Care: United States, 2011–2017."

ONE WEIRD TRICK THAT DIDN'T SAVE RUSH LIMBAUGH'S LUNGS
Rush Limbaugh has lung cancer. Talk radio king Rush Limbaugh stunned his 20-million member audience Monday with the announcement he’s been diagnosed with “advanced lung cancer.” The 69-year-old conservative talk pioneer closed his broadcast with the grim news, saying he will be leaving his golden EIB microphone for treatment, but hopes to return later this week. As the New York *Daily News* notes, Limbaugh, who was frequently photographed smoking cigars, downplayed the effects of smoking on a 2015 radio show: Limbaugh denied second-hand smoke caused any deaths. “That is a myth.

Cold War Mini-Jet: Meet the XF-85 Goblin That America Built to Protect Is Nuclear Bombers
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Americas* [image: By Author given as] What happened to it? *Key point:* The XF-85 was an interesting idea. However, it wasn't a good one and the Goblin quickly became out of date. Its manufacturer called it the “Goblin”—and by looks alone, the egg-shaped jet certainly deserved the name. The McDonnell XF-85 jet resembled little more than a pressurized cockpit on top of a bulbous J34 turbojet engine, with small stubby swept-back wings that could fold inwards. Rounding out its ghastly appearance were an unusual three tail stabilizers, three shark-like b... more »

"The minds of men were gradually reduced to the same level, the fire of genius was extinguished. The name of Poet was almost forgotten; that of Orator was usurped by the sophists. A cloud of critics, of compilers, of commentators, darkened the face of learning, and the decline of genius was soon followed by the corruption of taste. This diminutive stature of mankind was daily sinking below the old standard." - Edward Gibbon, "The Decline And Fall of The Roman Empire"

More Government Spending Does Not Buy Results In Education Or Poverty Reduction
* Here in New York, we love to feel good about ourselves for our compassion for the less well off. Yes, we pay higher taxes than they do in other places, but for that we get a much higher level of social services to lift up the poor and the downtrodden. Or at least, that’s the narrative. * I first covered this subject back in the very early days of this blog, on November 13, 2012, in a post titled “Why New York City Is A High Tax Jurisdiction.” That post pointed out that in fact the differential in public spending (and therefore taxes) between New York City and other jurisdictions c... more »
