The Country's Political Future Runs Through State Legislative Elections
In Florida, the Republicans have pretty close to a one-party state government. Ron DeSantis is the most disliked governor in America, but he's still the governor (and not up for reelection in November). The state House has 71 Republicans and 46 Democrats. The state Senate has 23 Republicans and 17 Democrats. The state House is going to need concerted Democratic effort for several cycles to flip it. The Florida Democratic Party is just not capable of that and is, in fact, worse than useless. Democrats would have a better chance to flip seats if the state party ceased to exist. ... more »

Exclusive: University of Arizona says former researcher committed misconduct by plagiarizing figure
A former researcher in the University of Arizona’s optics school engaged in “a serious case of research misconduct,” Retraction Watch has learned.

China Is Determined To Dominate The South China Sea
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* The United States Navy can't stop it? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *China is a power on the rise. It is asserting rulemaking authority in Asian waters and skies. No arrangement a la the Black Sea compact is on offer in Southeast Asia. Nor is there much reason to think Beijing would accept one were it offered. Quite the reverse. China is serious about making itself the suzerain of maritime Asia and is striving to lock in its status.

Forget World War II, The Spanish-American War Set Washington Towards Global Greatness
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Never before had the United States attempted war on such a global scale. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The defeat of a continental European power, Spain, was a major military accomplishment. The handing over of Guam and Philippines would have greater repercussions down the road, as placed the United States on a collision course with another rising, expansionist country: Japan.

NFL Concussion Lawsuits Demonstrate Racial Bias in Science

While other athletes protested police violence and honoured Black victims, the NFL games included a “moment of unity” against racism.

Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 13

"I Choose to Be a Cyborg": Why I Implanted Computer Chips in My Hands
*Tamara P. Banbury* *Technology, World* [image: Reuters] If cyborgs can win the right to alter their bodies by redefining the boundaries of acceptable body modification, then these rights can extend to other groups fighting for bodily integrity and autonomy. I have computer chips in my hands. The tiny (two millimetre by 12 millimetre) glass ampules are nestled just under the skin on the back of each of my hands and were implanted by a local body piercer several years ago. The chip in my right hand is a near-field communication device that I scan with an app on my smart phone to... more »
What, Besides Climate Change, Caused the California Wildfires?
*Nicolas Loris* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] When the risk is accurately assessed, it should incentivize more prescribed burns, timber harvesting, and installation of fire- resistant materials on homes and other buildings. Despite some progress made by heroic firefighters, wildfires continue to tear through the West. Tragically, the fires have taken more than 30 lives (with many more missing), destroyed thousands of structures, and burned millions of acres. Here are answers to some of the commonly asked questions on causes for the wildfires and obstacles that stand in t... more »
Goodbye, Campaign Bus: Presidential Races are Taking Flight
*Janet Bednarek* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Aircraft have played a role in U.S. presidential campaigns for decades. The coronavirus pandemic has reshaped the 2020 U.S. presidential campaign, limiting the number of rallies and in-person appearances of the candidates. When candidates do venture out, a familiar form of campaign transportation, the campaign bus, is likely to remain grounded, as tight quarters make social distancing nearly impossible. Until recently, candidates have relied primarily on social media to reach voters. But this medium and campaigning from home... more »

FBI agent who found Hillary Clinton's emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop speaks
It was blindingly obvious that these reords contained setrious criminal activity. We all knew. Then it was sent to the FBI and here we discover a complete lack of curiosity. This is not what we expect. No case officer appears to even be assigned. Suddenly FBI managers in the chain of command become complicit in high crimes. We are told that Sidney Powell will get the nod to replace Christopher Wray who is now ce3rtainly complicit. Yet four years have been squandered. Was the obstruction really that bad or were simple updates to william barr exercises in obstruction. . *F... more »
the CDC Swindle
There is ample indication that the whole vaccine enterprise is in fact completely criminal. Not least it is simply not possible to produce the appropriate science on demand and even the infamous claim story of the spanish flue is suspect as a faile vaccine. Is it possible that all promoted pandemic vaccine drives are outright manufactured events. The rumble of bribes to generate numbers tells us as much and tells us it is not the first rodeo. Throw on the known side effects and their running with the eugenics gurus and it is hardly surprising we seem to have a sertious crim... more »
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dies at 87
A wonderful jurist who intellectually led the liberal Court in quite the same way Antoinin Scalia led the conservative court. when such great advocates ponder an issue, their resolution is important. In normal times we would wait to repace her after the election. Yet this year a sitting president was impeached in the house by a bare majority after a full three years of egregious obstructionism. Worse these same obstructiuonist promise more of the same in the face of another victory. There is also the MEME that she has been dead since 2019 and this has been a matter of useful... more »
Herschel Walker has slammed Black Lives Matter
The mere fact that anyone would self describe themselves as traimed Marxist is wild. Marxists and NHazais slaughtered ther political opponents by the tens of thousands over and over again.

At times it was answered in the same coin, but rarely. i do know that the So Koreans did as well after all their civil servants were slaughtered.

China Is Deploying 5th Generation J-20 Fighters To Its Border With India
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* Should New Delhi be worried? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *China’s one-million-strong army, coupled with J-20-created air superiority would make the prospect of a Chinese incursion into India a formidable proposition, a reality which in part informs reasons for a strong U.S.-Indian alliance.

The World's Plastic Crisis is Getting Out of Control and Recycling Isn't Enough to Stop It
*Stephanie B. Borrelle* *Environment, World* New research published in Science shows that even if governments around the world adhere to their global commitments to address plastic pollution, and all others join in these efforts, in 2030 we will still emit between 20 million and 53 million tonnes of plastic waste into the world’s aquatic ecosystems. Global commitments do not match the scale of the problem — we need to rethink our strategy. Plastic production and consumption has snowballed since large-scale production began in the 1950s. In 2020, an estimated 24 million to 34 mil... more »
How a German Cruiser Terrorized the Allied Fleet During WWI
*Warfare History Network* *History, World* [image: Wikimedia Commons] Of all Germany’s raiders, none had a career as bold as the Emden. World War I was only a few days old when the German light cruiser SMS *Emden*, patrolling off the Korean Peninsula, spotted its first target. Shortly after 4 am on August 4, 1914, lookouts spotted what they believed to be the Russian cruiser Askold. The Emden’s crew readied for action. The Russian vessel fled before it, prompting *Emden*’s crew to fire a series of warning shots. The vessel slowed after the tenth round and stopped after two more.... more »
