Biden's denunciation of Trump travel bans was political demagoguery
*Washington Examiner:* *Biden's South Africa travel ban compared to Trump COVID restrictions he denounced* ... "We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus," Biden tweeted early last year while still a candidate. "We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency." ... They would have also called Trump racist if he banned travel from southern African countries. It is more evidence of how dishonest Democrat politicians are... read more

Was Kyle Rittenhouse a Fool?
A few days ago I was in a discussion on Facebook about Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old who was recently found not guilty of killing two men and wounding a third. His defense was that he acted in self-defense and I watched enough of the trial (between 7 and 9 hours) to be convinced that the […] The post Was Kyle Rittenhouse a Fool? appeared first on Econlib. read more

Trump never considered going to war with China
Epoch Times: Former president Donald Trump said in a statement on Nov. 26 that he never considered going to war with China. Trump’s remarks were part of a tirade against Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, who told Congress in September that he assured a top Chinese general that the United States was not going to attack China. “I never had even a thought of going to war with China, other than the war I was winning, which was on TRADE,” Trump said. “I was the only President in decades to not get us into a war—I got us out of wars!” The Joint Chiefs of Staff and Mil... read more
Carl Sagan, "The Pale Blue Dot"
"The following excerpt from Carl Sagan's book "Pale Blue Dot" was inspired by an image taken, at Sagan's suggestion, by Voyager 1 on 14 February 1990. As the spacecraft was departing our planetary neighborhood for the fringes of the solar system, it turned it around for one last look at its home planet. Voyager 1 was about 6.4 billion kilometers (4 billion miles) away, and approximately 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane, when it captured this portrait of our world. Caught in the center of scattered light rays (a result of taking the picture so close to the Sun), Earth appears as a ... read more

The New COVID Variant Scam was Simulated in Israel Weeks before it was “Discovered”
The flames of "COVID fear" are being stoked again, as the Big Pharma Globalists unleash their new plan to increase profits and exert more tyrannical control over populations by using their corporate media and puppet politicians in an attempt to extend the false "COVID pandemic." Within just a couple of days after announcing that a "new variant" has been discovered in Africa, Big Pharma has now promised the world that they are rushing to rescue everyone with new drugs and new vaccines to fight this "deadly new variant." What kind of people are still watching this Hollywood-like scr... read more

Doctors in India and South Africa speak out on the vax
November 27, 2021 “The deaths that are meant to follow the vaccinations will never be able to be pinned on the poison. They will be too diverse, there will be too many, and they will be in too broad a timeframe for us to understand that we have been poisoned,” claims Dr. Shankara Chetty. According to his website, South African family doctor Dr Shankara Chetty, “has treated 7,000 Covid-19 patients without a single hospitalization or death,” combining his insights with his medical background along with his observations of government censorship orders and censorship of medias to... read more
"A Look to the Heavens"
"Messier's famous catalog, but definitely not one of the least. About 170,000 light-years across, this galaxy is enormous, almost twice the size of our own Milky Way. M101 was also one of the original spiral nebulae observed by Lord Rosse's large 19th century telescope, the Leviathan of Parsontown. Assembled from 51 exposures recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope in the 20th and 21st centuries, with additional data from ground based telescopes, this mosaic spans about 40,000 light-years across the central region of M101 in one of the highest definition spiral galaxy portraits ever ... read more

Read Online: The Poet: T.S. Eliot, "Four Quartets"
*“Little Gidding”, Excerpt* "We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. When the last of earth left to discover Is that which was the beginning; At the source of the longest river The voice of the hidden waterfall And the children in the apple-tree. Not known, because not looked for But heard, half-heard, in the stillness Between two waves of the sea. Quick now, here, now, always - A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) And all shall be well and All m... read more
“How Are Things Going, Joe?”
"People are sad. People are broke. People are worried about money, people are worried that they're not enough and not amounting to anything and they don't feel good about themselves. People have rough times, and everybody's pretending it's not true, and we need to break that veneer." - Eve Ensler ○ “You go up to a man, and you say, “How are things going, Joe?” and he says, “Oh fine, fine... couldn’t be better.” And you look into his eyes, and you see things really couldn’t be much worse. When you get right down to it, everybody’s having a perfectly lousy time of it, and I mean everyb... read more
The Poet: Jane Hirshfield, “The Task”
*“The Task”* "It is a simple garment, this slipped-on world. We wake into it daily - open eyes, braid hair - a robe unfurled in rose-silk flowering, then laid bare. And yes, it is a simple enough task we've taken on, though also vast: from dusk to dawn, from dawn to dusk, to praise, and not be blinded by the praising. To lie like a cat in hot sun, fur fully blazing, and dream the mouse; and to keep too the mouse's patient, waking watch within the deep rooms of the house, where the leaf-flocked sunlight never reaches, but the earth still blooms.” - Jane Hirshfield read more
Why the Glock 19 Might Be the World's Best 9mm Pistol
*Richard Douglas* *Glock 19, United States* Accuracy, reliability, and the ability to customize all make Glocks some of the world's best pistols. *Here's What You Need to Know: *The Glock 19 is also one of the best pistols to pick up if you have plans to customize a pistol. Stippled grips, flared mag wells, machined slides, and nitride-coated barrels all look great on a Glock 19. If you’re into firearms, then there’s zero chance you haven’t heard of Glock. The company has an impressive history of making guns, and it does it very well. The Glock 19 has become one of the most ico... read more

*Kris Osborn* *Artillery, Americas* The Army’s Long Range Precision Fires program, for instance, is fast refining new weapons able to travel hundreds of miles beyond previously possible ranges. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The Army has several fast-developing weapons programs including Extended Range Cannon Artillery, a program which leverages modifications to 155mm artillery cannons to fire precision-guided rounds as far as 70km. Brig. Gen. John Rafferty, Director of the Army’s Long Range Precision-Fires Cross Functional Team, Army Futures Command, said the ERCA program ... read more
Do We Really Need an Independent Air Force?
*Robert Farley* *U.S. Air Force, * It's not as radical as it may sound. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In brief, the United States needs air power, but it does not need an Air Force. With the Iraq and Afghanistan wars over, why does the United States need to maintain two large land armies, the Army and Marine Corps? The question seems perfectly reasonable given the apparent absence of large terrestrial threats, but it leads us down the wrong path. The United States military is all about redundancy; in addition to two armies, it also fields two navies — the Navy and the Coas... read more
The U.S. Air Force Is Prioritizing Laser Weapons Systems
*Kris Osborn* *Lasers, Americas* “The whole goal here is to create technological surprise,” Brig. Gen Heather Pringle, Commander, Air Force Research Laboratory, told The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies in a recent video interview. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The thinking is to first migrate laser weapons to larger aircraft such as C-130 Cargo planes as they fly airframes more likely to succeed in accommodating the on-board power and cooling systems needed to fire successfully. As mobile power and thermal management technology matures, the thinking goes, high powe... read more

Democrats tolerance for crime leads to more crime
PJ Media: Is it an accident that big cities with radical Democratic mayors and radical prosecutors are suffering from the most spectacular — and worrying — streak of organized retail theft in history? Democrats might want you to think that. They will claim that their radical policies with regard to criminal behavior have nothing to do with the lawbreaking that’s happening in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Minneapolis. Just an unlucky coincidence, right? ... The problem for these cities is that the situation won’t get any better until voters throw the radicals out. Bu... read more

Covid pill waiting for FDA approval
Washington Examiner: Earlier this month, the Biden administration bought 10 million courses of Pfizer's new COVID-19 pill, Paxlovid. Thanks to the Food and Drug Administration, however, it may be months before anyone can take it, as the agency hasn't yet offered up a timetable for approving it. Its inaction will almost certainly result in scores of preventable deaths. ... They were able to use the vaccine without FDA approval. That apparently is not available for the pill. read more

Watch: Exclusive Interview with Jorge Arreaza on Venezuela’s Recovery Plan
UN Special Rapporteurs estimate that 100,000 people have died in Venezuela in the last decade because of the lack of medicine brought on by U.S. sanctions. Nearly 60% of those deaths took place under the Trump administration after Washington escalated its economic warfare on the Bolivarian state. During the Trump era, Jorge Arreaza served as Venezuela’s foreign minister and spent years building diplomatic ties with other nations amid Washington’s aggressive hybrid war. read more

*Bradley Perrett* *Drones, * Like drones, royal wingmen should be able to operate somewhat independently. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *For any mission, an ATS could take off from many more possible places than airbases. In a likely deployment mode, the aircraft, pulled from storage as war approached, would be dispersed by road, carried in shipping containers by semi-trailer trucks.

I was covered in sweat, tear gas, dust, and quite a bit of the disgusting skunk liquid that the Israeli army sprays on protestors.
