May 1 also is the deadline the United States agreed to last year to pull out of Afghanistan to end the suffering of that nation of workers and peasants.

*FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2021* *And no, we don't mean the kids:* Ineducable is as ineducable does—and no, we don't mean the students. Some kids are better students than others. Just as a simple matter of fact, some kids are *much* better students. Also, some kids are "behind" in school. But none of these kids would be so dumb, or so defiantly performative, as to keep flunking this annual test: SHAPIRO (4/30/21): The city’s new chancellor, Meisha Porter, called on the state to eliminate the exam in a statement Thursday. *“I know from my 21 years as an educator that far more students cou...
Re-Presenting Old Articles -- Design Behind the Ancient Mysteries Part 1
Harry Dale Huffman, The Earth and Man: Setting the Stage - 10 hours ago
Old articles I wrote and presented, on my lulu.com site and on newsblaze.com, have all disappeared. I have just made myself aware of this (they were up for years, and I just stopped checking on them). I will re-present some of them here now, as I have done three times in recent days already. The following is the first part of a larger piece I wrote, originally in 2005, which introduces my unprecedented discovery of the "Great Design of the 'gods'". (I linked to it, on a now-disappeared web page, on this blog in 2009, in the post Challenge to Science III. I sent it, as noted there, ...
'Defend Forward' and Sovereignty
jgoldsmith, Lawfare - 12 hours ago
Among the most discussed provisions of the Tallinn Manual 2.0 is Rule 4: “Violation of sovereignty.” Rule 4 provides: “A State must not conduct cyber operations that violate the sovereignty of another State.” Considered alone, Rule 4 is banal and unobjectionable, since there are many established sovereignty-based international-law rules that cyber operations might violate. For example, the UN Charter’s prohibition on certain uses of force and the customary international-law rule of nonintervention constrains cyber operations by one state in another. The hard question is whether in...
Stimulus Check News: Democrats Could Make Biden’s Stimulus Checks Permanent
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *$3600 Stimulus Check, * Although Democrats largely applauded Biden’s legislative initiative, several party members think it falls short of providing enough relief to American families. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Democrats argue that the expanded family benefit would help lift millions of children out of poverty.

A Permanent Stimulus Check Coming Soon? Joe Biden Says Hell Yes.
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *New Stimulus Check, * The proposal is included in President Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* Will the permanent checks end up on the final bill? That’s unclear. In the American Rescue Plan that passed earlier this year, one provision was an expansion of the child tax credit, which distributed payments of $3,600 per child under age 6 and $3,000 for kids between 6 and 17 for one year. Those payments will arrive in the form of $300 checks each month, and the distribution of them is starting to begin in July, the commissioner of...
