A German View On Brexit: Europe Can No Longer Afford the Brexit Insanity
Coming soon to a country near you? Several unexplained cases of a disease with Ebola-like symptoms in Tanzania have prompted an extraordinary statement from the World Health Organization questioning the response of the country’s health authorities.
The Science Was Settled: The practical upshot of all this is that some of the things you are reading in your science textbooks are wrong.
Letter from a Pakistani Homeschooler: “He told me you have homeschooled your own children, which came as a shock to me because we Pakistanis consider US schools the epitome of education.” Well, if you grade on a curve, the US might very well be close to the top. But should you grade on a curve?
New Studies Warn of Cataclysmic Solar Superstorms. They be saying this for awhile now. Then again, they were saying for awhile that New Orleans was at risk for going under in a big storm. Eventually they were right.
May be in the news? In the case of the Georgian man shot to death in late August in a Berlin park, evidence is mounting that the crime may have been a hit contracted by the Russian state.
I may have posted this once. It it timeless because the myth is timeless. The Gandhi Nobody Knows
They got a lot more wrong then just what is laid out here. But it is a start on what they got wrong.What ‘The Times’ Got Wrong About Slavery in America.
Everyone paying attention already knows this but it is not in the news.
Putting this on only because I can see this happening to me: 16 Indiana students hospitalized after getting shot with insulin by mistake
No commentary needed. But makes you understand why the law is popular to know that their were people being paid only $8 an hour in New York City of all places. $15 minimum wage hike is hitting, hurting NYC restaurants
A dark and dirty war that may one day hit you right in the gas tank: At the same time, however, there are many details available already that lend weight to their claims with regards to fighting in or around Najran, even if the Houthi’s assertions about the total number of Saudi casualties, and personnel and equipment they captured, remain dubious. The presence of LAV-25s, for example, strongly indicates that members of the Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) were among those in the convoy that the Houthis attacked.
It is fun to pick on crazy people but it don’t accomplish anything. The example of perfectly crafted dissent that I’d like to submit here appears in this video from Massachusetts local TV news, showing some reactions to the fly-posting of white sheets of paper bearing the statement ‘Islam is right about women’. The reactions are deeply revealing. Nobody can clearly point out why they object to the statement – indeed, nobody seems to object to the statement at all on its face. Yet most seem to express offence at it – if a little unconvincingly.
Rare good news that is not reported.
Coming soon to a state near you.
Joe Biden recounting how he got the prosecutor fired.
Harvard’s Legacies Are Nothing to Be Proud Of Ironically, the main reason for Harvard’s success is due to the very practices that are attacked in this article. You don’t want to go to Harvard for a better education. You want to go to Harvard to network with rich people. If you did not give rich kids an easy pass into the university, how would that work? But to admit this is to admit how little real education takes place in universities around the country.
Controversial stuff from Pakistan. I don’t vouch for it, but it is interesting because it does not come from a US observer. “If ever there was a thought within Pakistan’s leadership — political, military, and business — that Beijing could replace Washington as the foreign capital with the most influence in Islamabad, that idea is now firmly dead. We just have not gotten around to telling China yet.”
Fake Hate: Virginia Girl Admits She Made Up ‘Hair Cut’ Assault at School Where Karen Pence Teaches Just a reminder. You always see the stories. You rarely see the retractions.
The long knives come out for The Hill’s John Solomon Just a reminder, the consensus is enforced.
Fair warning: lots of dubious speculation mixed in with fax along with unnecessary heavy breathing. Having said that, what is reasonably well documented and what is speculation is clearly separated.
In 2014 California passed Proposition 47, which made theft of property valued at less than $950 a misdemeanor offense. This is how it is working out……
You’ve likely seen the videos on social media or the local news: groups of people rushing into a store, grabbing armfuls of merchandise. The brazen crimes are on the rise and CBS13 has learned, in most cases, the crooks get away from authorities.
After searching police reports and arrest records, CBS13 found that while the rate of these grab and dash crimes is on the rise, the rate of arrest is down. We turned to law enforcement and the retail industry for answers. Both blame a California law intended to make “neighborhoods safe.”
In a New Study on Bird Loss, Some Scientists Say Subtlety Is Lost, Too That is code for “they totally misrepresented things to get more publicity.”
Who wants to leave California? Young voters can’t afford housing, and conservatives feel alienated. Okay, so this is a standard news source. But California’s troubles with housing and massive outflows don’t always get that much attention.
The Military Officials Who Knew Saudi Arabia Would Fail
That weird whistleblower’s complaint. “Federal records show that the intelligence community secretly revised the formal whistleblower complaint form in August 2019 to eliminate the requirement of direct, first-hand knowledge of wrongdoing.” And there is more here.
Even if the rules were not changed just to allow this complaint to go forward, the complaint itself is not standard.
For those interested in the battles, BazBattles did them better (what ones they covered) here.
