The secret to southern biscuits

Why can't you make biscuits like they do in the south? Here's the answer.

Ever wonder how these two cities got wiped out? Science has an answer.

If you are worried about the zombie apocalypse, you will be pleased to know that the military has war plans to deal with it.

Trump is right about Saudi Arabia. Strategic issues have always required us to work with evil people.

Do you know somebody who likes to knit?  Here's an interesting challenge: temari balls.

When was the worst year in human history? Scientists claim that it was 536 AD.

Scientists have concluded that all humans came from one couple. Adam and Eve?

New Dem Tactic: We Were Thinking What Trump's Been Saying All Along.

The stands are half empty at the football games. Is it because of millionaire players kneeling during the National Anthem or is it the outrageous prices. I certainly wouldn't pay $100 for a ticket, $40 to park, $12 for a beverage and $8 for a hot dog.

Psychology has a problem. They can't seem to replicate a majority of the science that influences decisions.

You were promised there would be no math, but you would think the people in Washington state who collect sales tax would have a working understanding. Turns out they don't, as this taco restaurant found out.

There was a public debate between Jerry Brown and Donald Trump about the fires and forest management.  Turns out Trump is right.

Both Feinstein and Harris are objecting to one of Trump's nominations to the Ninth Circuit Court. No surprise there, but the guy looks like a great choice.

Here's a humorous photo essay on Thanksgiving

The government's regular global warming report is out and dominating the news this week, revealing of course that the interns at the media know nothing of science or the ability to read critically. Here's a roundup of previous climate change warnings.

The big news this week has been the plant closings at GM, with reports dominating the loss of jobs. Hardly any mention of the problem that nobody is buying actual cars anymore. If you recall from the Romney-Obama election, Romney said that GM should have been allowed to go bankrupt (which if nothing else would have allowed them to get out of those insane union contracts). Turns out Romney was right and the media were ignorant as usual about things that were not that complicated.

Was Jesus really resurrected or was that just another example of "fake news"?  Here's the follow up article discussing the evidence.

I have a friend from Bulgaria, and have total ignorance about the history of that country.  I was researching it on Wikipedia, which is always a tar baby because the links to interesting subjects take you around the site. I ended up at this cemetery near Varnia. The graves contain the oldest known gold jewelry, dating from 4500 BC. Take a look at this fellow buried a really long time ago along with his decorative gold.

The news about the migrants being tear gassed at the border brought back fond memories of my time in basic training. Tear gas isn't as bad as the media would have you believe and Obama did it almost monthly, which you don't hear from the media.

As you know, the schools aren't teaching history anymore in favor of social justice and the kids are woefully ignorant. Half of Younger Millennials Think Barack Obama Had a Bigger Impact Than George Washington.

In order to legally protect an endangered species habitat, it helps if actual endangered species live there.

There are some politicians objecting to our immigration policy. If you don’t believe in borders, should you be deciding US immigration policy?

The Chinese military is having budget problems, making tradeoffs between their aircraft carrier and their advanced fighter jets. This may be because of Trumps trade policies. I found it interesting that their jet engines are only good for 1500 hours.

Stuffing or dressing?

So, that dish served with turkey: is it stuffing or dressing?

Jonah Goldberg finds current events just so entertaining. You can't make this stuff up.

Several key mistakes were made in the Parkland shooting. Nine months later no one is being held accountable.  This is the same Broward County that can't run an election.

Are nuclear bombs safe? When can you shoot one with your gun.

This article on the Mexican caravan is worth looking at just to see the Mayor wearing his "Make Tijuana Great Again" hat.

Here's a fun take on those vandals in Bulgaria: they are defacing statues of Russian soldiers.

There's a group of black kids in Minnesota who like to order meals and run off without paying for them. A Chipotle manager, who recognized them, asked them to demonstrate that they could pay for the meals before serving them. The black folks posted a video of the exchange, which went viral. Chipotle fired the manager.  It turns out that the black folks were bragging on the Internet about "dine and dash".  More on the story here.  This story actually made the news on TV this week, but of course they left out a lot of facts.

Science is having a problem with "junk science". The experiments don't seem to be reproducible, but we are spending money and doing things as if they were.

If you are wondering why it's so cold in the Northeast on Thanksgiving, read this article on global warming's problems.

Here's a terrible judicial ruling that appears to be Constitutionally correct, but what does that say about abortion?

The Kavanaugh hearings cost the Democrats the Senate

This writer thinks that the way the Democrats treated Kavanaugh cost them the Senate.

Have trouble getting clothes that fit?  The Zozosuit and your smart phone have an answer.

There was much news this week about the death of Stan Lee, creator of all those super heroes featured in comics and blockbuster movies.  I hadn't realized that he had a cameo in those movies. Here's a video of every cameo by Stan Lee.

A mob of 20 or so thugs trying to kick in the door, a mother by herself hiding in a pantry: The next time somebody asks you why anybody really needs a semiautomatic rifle, here’s your answer.

Here's a nice discussion of the geology and photographs of Victoria Falls.

By the time you read this, the vote counting in Broward county may be over, but they'll keep counting until the Democrats win.

The University of Texas is having problems with hiring the best qualified and still meeting their goals.

We're having fires in California. Trump is blaming our forest management practices. This writer says Trump is right.

There wasn't much coverage of the altercation between Tucker Carlson and a guy in a bar who insulted Tucker's daughter. Here's a surprising connection between him and the women's movement.

Remember that picture of the guys going to the prom who formed a Nazi salute. It got nationwide coverage in the media. Turns out this was more "fake news".

Oops, another error in global warming science.  A little mistake in the calculations.

Harvard is being sued. It seems they discriminate against a minority race.

Anchor babies, are they citizens?

Anchor babies are in the news because of Trump's plan to eliminate them by executive order. Read this history of the 14th Amendment.  A more scholarly explanation by Matthew Spalding from Hillsdale College.

The four "big bangs" that kill atheism 

Here's a terrific roundup up of the Democrats efforts to block the Kavanaugh Hearings and how the media turned him into a rapist. Missing of course was that scene when Ms. Ford found out that the committee would have been happy to come to California to talk to her, but the lawyer shut down that line of enquiry by referring to attorney-client privilege. Of course the lawyers were working for the Democrats, not their client, and they never told her about the offer; they wanted to create optics of the evil Republicans cross-examining the innocent victim.  Also missing was that scene at the end when one of the Democrat staffers handed the lawyer a check in an envelope on national television.

Washington DC has a new museum of the Bible. Reviews are quite positive, making it a "must see" if you get to Washington.

Regular readers of my blog know my opinion that the Pope is clueless when it comes to economics (and perhaps theology).  Here's a report from Michael Moore that the Pope thinks capitalism is a sin.

Here's a fun speech on global warming by a Nobel laureate. He is skeptical.

San Francisco is worried that some of its high rise buildings may fall down in an earthquake. They may actually do something about it. Earthquake problems with single-family homes can be fixed at a reasonable cost if done ahead of time.

This link is worth looking at just to see Jennifer Garner without makeup.

Last week, when Trump visited the synagog, a cameraman took a video of a lady screaming at the motorcade. Watch the video here. It went viral on the Internet. Notable was her quote that "everybody is welcome in our neighborhood" and "you are not welcome here". It turns out that the lady is a Presbyterian minister. Here's an analysis based on what the Bible says.

Victor Davis Hanson joins the CNN is fake news bandwagon.

Martha McSally appears to have won the Senate race in Arizona. Besides flying fighter jets, she can also sing. Watch this video of her singing God Bless America at her victory party.  And here she is singing the National Anthem at the ASU homecoming football game.

Progressives business model is suffering because of push back from real Americans. Get woke go broke.
