How Americans Perceive the Events on Capitol Hill
A Political Junkie, Viable Opposition - 16 hours ago
An interesting poll by YouGov looks at how Americans felt about the assault on the seat of their government in early January 2021. Here are the results. YouGov polled 1,397 registered voters who had heard about the events on Capitol Hill and, not surprisingly, voters' sentiment toward the events are divided along party lines. Of all voters, 62 percent perceived that the actions taken by the protestors were a threat to democracy with 63 percent saying that they "strongly oppose" the actions taken by "President Trump's supporters" with an additional 8 percent saying that they ...

EVERYTHING IS LIBERALS' FAULT, PART MCMLXXVIII
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 15 hours ago
In the *New York Post* -- which has recently received some praise in liberal circles because it acknowledges the incontrovertible fact that Joe Biden won the presidential election -- Matthew Schmitz, a senior editor of the right-wing Catholic magazine *First Things,* has published an absurd op-ed chastising liberals for their response to the death of Brian Sicknick, the police officer killed in the January 6 riot at the Capitol. Schmitz writes: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described Sicknick’s death as a reminder of the need to “protect our country from all threats, foreign and domes...
800 Australian Cavalrymen Helped Secure British Victory Against the Ottoman Turks
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Middle East* Edmund Allenby sought to break the stalemate in Palestine in 1917. It fell to the Australian cavalrymen to dislodge the Turks from Beersheba. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Only 31 troopers and 70 horses died during the charge, a testament to the surprise and speed of the maneuver. In late 1917, the most successful cavalry charge of World War I took place not on the muddy killing fields of the Western Front, but at the foot of the Judean Hills in southern Palestine. The sun had just begun to set over the desert town of Beersheba o...

Normally, I wouldn’t be reading *Refinery29*, a digital media source established in 2015. It’s owned by something called Vice Media which in turn is Disney, A & E, and other media investors. It’s for young fashionistas in New York. But then, it’s the modern version of Woman’s Day or Ladies Home Journal which influenced women of the last century with heath and fashion while being obedient to the needs of the marketing department.

Man and The Becoming Universe
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 16 hours ago
Nothing is eternal, everything is changing, becoming a new thing—the universe itself is a becoming. Since man lives in a becoming universe, he has to accept change as the fundamental principle of existence. His body, his mind, his culture, his nation, his ideological preferences, his notions of the past and aspirations from the future are constantly changing along with the elements of the material world around him. Everyday he is a new person; everyday he discovers a new material and mental state. The presocratic thinker Heraclitus rightly said, “No man ever steps in the same river ...

Spotify's Pay-to-Play Plan Can Make or Break a Musician
John Hawkins, Ben Freyens, Michael James Walsh, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*John Hawkins, Ben Freyens, Michael James Walsh* *Technology, * Streaming now accounts for more than half of recorded music revenue. Spotify has about a third of the subscribers paying for music streaming. Appearing on a prominent Spotify playlist is therefore a big deal. Spotify offered the promise that, in the age of digital downloads, all artists would get paid for their music, and some would get paid a lot. Lorde and Billie Eilish showed what was possible. Lorde was just 16 when, in 2012, she uploaded her debut EP to SoundCloud. A few months later, Sean Parker (of Napster an...
2020 Was Full Climate Disasters, but There's Reasons for Hope in 2021
Matthew Hoffmann, The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Matthew Hoffmann* *Climate, * A popular refrain on social media notes that while 2020 was among the hottest on record and one of the worst years for climate disasters, it is also likely to be among the coolest and calmest for years to come. Climate disasters started early in 2020 — and kept on coming. The catastrophic fires in Australia in early 2020 were actually a holdover from 2019, but they were soon followed by flooding in Indonesia, a super-cyclone hitting the coast of India and Bangladesh and then more flooding, this time in Kenya and wide swaths of Central and West Afric...
"2021: If It Wasn't For Bad Luck, We Wouldn't Have No Luck At All"
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 16 hours ago
*"2021: If It Wasn't For Bad Luck, * *We Wouldn't Have No Luck At All"* by Charles Hugh Smith "In our self-deluded hubris, we reckon we've moved beyond the influence of fortune, a.k.a. Lady Luck: our technologies are so powerful and our monetary policies so godlike that nothing as random as luck could ever crush our limitless expansion. Thus does hubris beg for a comeuppance: the greater the hubris, the greater the reversal of fortune, the greater the confidence in our godlike powers, the greater the collapse of our prideful faith in technology and economic policies.

Eric Hoffer on “Property Rights” in Jobs
David Henderson, Econlib - 17 hours ago
I’ve written before about how “The Box,” that is, containerization, slashed the cost of international trade, thus leading to more of it. My guess is that that reduction in cost was the equivalent of dropping tariffs by at least 5 percentage points. I quoted the famous statement by Paul Krugman that put it nicely: The […] The post Eric Hoffer on “Property Rights” in Jobs appeared first on Econlib.

Recovery: What Are We Talking About?
MEXICO CITY, Jan 11 (IPS) - The new year has arrived, but the situation is worse than in the last months of 2020. The pandemic is still unleashed: the end of the year holidays, the official permissiveness, and the slowness of the distribution of vaccines seem to announce that the disease will continue to wreak havoc for several months in most of the world, particularly in America, Europe, and parts of Asia like India. It has therefore been required to redouble preventive measures: a new lockdown and the disruption of almost all economic and school activities. Therefore, the recove...

The History of Placebos & Why Doctors Should Use Them More Often
Jeremy Howick, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Jeremy Howick* *Health, * A placebo can work even if a patient does not believe it is a “real” treatment. Plato’s cure for headaches involved: a certain leaf, but there was a charm to go with the remedy; and if one uttered the charm at the moment of its application, the remedy made one perfectly well; but without the charm there was no efficacy in the leaf. We would now call Plato’s “charm” a placebo. Placebos have been around for thousands of years and are the most widely studied treatments in the history of medicine. Every time your doctor tells you that the drug you take ha...
The IRS Abandons its Lawless Effort to Deny Prisoners Their Rebate Payments

*Alan D. Viard* *Criminal Justice System, The Americas* The IRS denied the $1200-per-adult rebates to these groups even though they unambiguously qualify for the payments under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. In previous posts (here and here), I discussed the IRS’s lawless policy denying rebate payments to several groups that it loosely refers to as “incarcerated” — convicts serving their sentences, defendants institutionalized because they were found incompetent to stand trial or insane, persons detained under sexual-predator laws, fugitives from ...

How People Prepared Food in the Dark Ages

Nice discussion. most of this is still around an organized kitchen. For most though we are using the stew pot for everything because it remains unspoiled. Meat was rare, but small game and left over bones could be thrown in. Besides the vegetable pottage, we also have any type of grain porridge as well..both are filling. Everything else required better tools such as a stove or oven and a skillet of course. Yet a lot could be done even with a rawhide lined boiling pit and hot stones 60,000 years ago. *Ho...
Roswell UFO Crash to be officially disclosed as time-traveling future humans

It can never be perfect but it can be optimized for all that. At least many parents are able to hold it together to comp...
