"The 2019 Black Friday Video Hall of Shame"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 11 hours ago
*"The 2019 Black Friday Video Hall of Shame"* by Daisy and Dagny "American shoppers continued to embarrass themselves in the eyes of the world during this year’s brawlshopping extravaganza. While smart shoppers stayed home and avoided the insanity by ordering gifts online, the melees were alive and well in malls and big-box stores across the country. As people battled it out for the best-priced bath towels, preppers should take a quick moment to ponder how these same folks would behave if they were hungry.

AOC And Pramila Take On Mayo Pete And Status Quo Joe And Their Slick Conservative Talking Points

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 12 hours ago
If the Democratic primary is about picking the slickest, smoothest liar, there's no contest. Well... Status Quo Joe is certainly the *biggest* liar among Democrats, but Mayo Pete is the slickest and smoothest. That's what working as a McKinsey consultant teaches you. If you can't look someone straight in the eye and persuade them that up is down, the moon is made of green cheese and 2 + 2 = 5, you don't last as long as Mayo Pete did at McKinsey. When Mayo began his p.r.-driven campaign, he hadn't yet decided which lane to run in. Not having much of a record, and with no values or ... more »

Snow Day

LL at Virtual Mirage - 12 hours ago
A friend living in Tyumen, Siberia, Russian Federation, commented that we have more snow at the White Wolf Mine than they currently have in Siberia. It can't be a mine thing because you know that there are a lot of salt mines in Siberia. Maybe it's global Cooling? We have only ten years to live before the planet becomes a cinder if you listen to our Congressional brain trust (AOC).

Ed Tech Giant Powerschool Keeps Eating the World

Peter Greene at CURMUDGUCATION - 12 hours ago
If you want to be a tech giant, you can try to grow organically within your company, or you can just look for companies that are already doing what you want to do, and buy them. Some are better than the strategy than others-- Facebook absorbed Instagram well enough, but Google seems to kill everything it touches. Back in the day, PowerSchool was a simple little program for taking care of classroom clerical work. Of the e-gradebooks I was forced to use in my career, it was the last and the most usable. Not everyone loves it (though I suspect in some cases it's the local district IT d... more »

Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog - 12 hours ago
I'm concerned about this. As Democrats in Congress push to impeach him, President Trump has toured a manufacturing plant in Texas, boasted about economic gains and signed numerous bills. He served turkey to U.S. troops in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving and grieved with the families of fallen service members at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. And next week, Trump is scheduled to jet to London to meet with European allies and be received at Buckingham Palace by Queen Elizabeth II. ... he and his aides ... have staged photo opportunities and public events designed to showcase the presi... more »

Why Support for the Death Penalty Is Much Higher Among White Americans

Kevin O'Neal Cokley at The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Kevin O'Neal Cokley* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] I study the impact that public policies like the death penalty have on African Americans, and I see a problem that isn’t often discussed in the media: the significant racial disparity in public opinion about the death penalty. Sentencing a person to die is the ultimate punishment. There is no coming back from the permanence of the death penalty. In the U.S., the death penalty is currently authorized by the federal government, the military and 29 states. The primary rationale for using the death penalty is deterrence. A... more »

Why Are Online Political Ads Not Regulated like TV Ads Are?

Ari Lightman at The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Ari Lightman* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Let's try to find out. *Key point:* TV is an older and more regulated medium. With the 2020 election just a year away, Facebook is under fire from presidential candidates, lawmakers, civil rights groups and even its own employees to provide more transparency on political ads and potentially stop running them altogether. Meanwhile, Twitter has announced that it will not allow any political ads on its platform. Modern-day online ads use sophisticated tools to promote political agendas with a high degree of specificity. I have ... more »

UN COP25 “Climate” Summit Promises More “Global Governance”

Alex Newman at rss - 12 hours ago
[image: un-cop25-climate-summit-promises-more-global-governance] Globalists and promoters of the man-made global-warming hypothesis have high hopes to advance “global governance” during the upcoming United Nations 25th Conference of the Parties (UN COP25) in Madrid in December. Described by organizers as the “COP of Action,” the summit will “enact the demands from the streets” and from the “children” on supposedly fighting climate change, organizers said. Among other goals, the UN and most of its member governments are seeking to finalize rules for an emerging global “carbon market.... more »

THE PROBLEM: We want to hear what we want to hear!

bob somerby at the daily howler - 13 hours ago
*SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2019Brian scratches an itch:* It was Socrates who first noticed the problem: We people want to hear what we want to hear! Beyond that, we tend to get mad when we hear something different. Socrates noticed this tendency when he toured the countryside looking for the wisest person in Greece. We sometimes notice this same reaction when we make fairly obvious statements about the current state of our failing "national discourse." Did Ukrainian officials "meddle in," or "interfere in," the 2016 election? Based on what we know, we wouldn't be strongly inclined t... more »

High-Def Help: How TVs Could Help Us Learn About the Brain

Mengying Zhang at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Mengying Zhang* *Technology, Americas* All about the quantum dots. While many people love colorful photos of landscapes, flowers or rainbows, some biomedical researchers treasure vivid images on a much smaller scale – as tiny as one-thousandth the width of a human hair. To study the micro world and help advance medical knowledge and treatments, these scientists use fluorescent nano-sized particles. Quantum dots are one type of nanoparticle, more commonly known for their use in TV screens. They’re super tiny crystals that can transport electrons. When UV light hits these semicon... more »

Classical Education New International Economic Order American Credit System Reanimating an Actual Economy -- Class 1 of 6 Video of Reanimating an Actual Economy -- Class 1 of 6 Over the past fifty years, the vast majority of economists are failures.

Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 13 hours ago
Paul Krugman writes that the Republican Party, officially known as the GOP -- The Grand Old Party -- is actually the COP -- The Corrupt Old Party: The G.O.P. is now a thoroughly corrupt party. Trump is a symptom, not the disease, and our democracy will remain under dire threat even if and when he’s gone. The usual explanation you hear for G.O.P. acquiescence in Trumpian malfeasance is that elected Republicans fear being defeated in a primary if they show any hint of wavering. And that’s certainly an important part of the story. Republicans haven’t forgotten what happened in 2014,... more »

Dishonest Adam Schiff tries to hide Mark Sandy testimony that clears Trump

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 13 hours ago
Mark Sandy from OMB was questioned in secret as part of Adam Schiff's witch hunt. Oddly he wasn't questioned in the public hearings and his "secret" testimony wasn't released until well after Schiff's impeachment coup ended. Well perhaps it wasn't that odd given that Sandy clearly testified that the only reason he was given for the hold up in aid was that Trump was concerned about the fact that European countries weren't doing their fair share to help Ukraine. This is one more example of Schiff and the #FakeNews media deliberately distorting witness testimony prior to releasing the... more »

Saying ‘OK Boomer’ At Work Is Considered Age Discrimination – but Millennial Put-Downs are OK?

Elizabeth C. Tippett at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Elizabeth C. Tippett* *Politics, Americas* The Politics of Insulting Your Colleagues The phrase “OK boomer” has become a catch-all put-down that Generation Zers and young millennials have been using to dismiss retrograde arguments made by baby boomers, the generation of Americans who are currently 55 to 73 years old.

Note to Trump: Government Spending on Research Impacts the Economy and American Jobs

James Pethokoukis at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*James Pethokoukis* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] A big deal. It’s not a natural impulse for politicians or activists to highlight trade-offs. Take cutting defense spending. Some Democratic presidential candidates envision a sizable reduction to the Pentagon’s budget if they’re elected. If that should happen, one possible program on the chopping block might be R&D investment. There is a lot of it, after all. A 2018 Congressional Research Service report found that in 2016 the United States spent $78.1 billion on defense R&D, “more than seven times as much on defense R&D t... more »

Jupiter Is Amazing! Why This Planet Deserves a Closer Look.

Philip Marcus at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Philip Marcus* *Security, Americas* Contrary to recent reports, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is not in danger of disappearing. In the last 10 years, but in the last five months in particular, the press has reported dire warnings that the Great Red Spot of Jupiter is dying. However, some astronomers believe, to paraphrase Mark Twain, that the reports of its death are greatly exaggerated, or at least premature. Robert Hooke, an early British physicist who discovered cells, first described the Great Red Spot in 1665. In 1979, when two Voyager spacecraft flew close by Jupiter, images s... more »

The Trump Administration's Climate Defiance Is a Joke for 1 Reason

Cara Daggett at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Cara Daggett* *Politics, Americas* How the low-carbon transition is disrupting fossil fuel politics. As the Trump administration works to weaken regulations on fossil fuel production and use, a larger struggle is playing out across multiple industries. Until recently, oil companies and their defenders generally reacted to calls for regulating carbon emissions by spreading doubt and promoting climate denialism. However, I believe this approach is becoming less effective as climate change effects worsen and public demands for action intensify worldwide. As a scholar who focuses o... more »

The Geoscience Behind Discovering Lost Continents

Maria Seton, Joanne Whittaker, Simon Williams at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Maria Seton, Joanne Whittaker, Simon Williams* *History, Americas* [image: Reuters] What are lost continents, and why are we discovering so many? For most people, continents are Earth’s seven main large landmasses. But geoscientists have a different take on this. They look at the type of rock a feature is made of, rather than how much of its surface is above sea level. In the past few years, we’ve seen an increase in the discovery of lost continents. Most of these have been plateaus or mountains made of continental crust hidden from our view, below sea level. One example is Ze... more »

A whistleblower’s allegation of minor deviations from federal privacy regulations helped make the story newsworthy.

Around 3,000 organisations have charitable patronage from a member of the British royal family. That number will soon shrink by around 200 as Prince Andrew steps back from his royal duties.

Contrary to leftists lies America wasn't based on slavery

What the left is trying to do is convince our youth that America is the only place that ever allowed slaves and that as a result America is evil. The problem is that not only is the slave trade still going on today in the Arab world but the vast majority of Africans who were enslaved didn't go to the US. Also it turns out that historically far more Blacks were enslaved by Muslim countries than by countries in the Americas. Muslims enslaved roughly 17 million Blacks vs the 12.5 million who were shipped across the Atlantic. None of this makes slavery in America an ok thing but to pret... more »
