The Mueller Report

The Mueller Report can be found here.

A pretty good editorial on the behavior of the Democrats reacting to the Mueller Report. More here from liberal scholar Noam Chonsky.

Mark Levin says that Volume 2 of the Mueller report should never have been written and is devoid of any legal significance.

Muller Trump and two years of bullshit.

Victor Davis Hanson on the plots by the progressives to get rid of Trump.

Even the New York Times has realized that the Steele dossier was disinformation. 

I used to argue with my liberal friends that Africans were better off under white rule. Rhodesia used to grow enough crops to feed most of sub-saharan Africa.  Now that Rhodesia is Zimbabwe, many of the people are wishing for the good old days when they had food to eat.

Have your dentist friends read this article: The Trouble with Dentists.

This Astronomy Picture of the Day is not particularly engaging, just a close up of 27 rockets lifting a Falcon Heavy rocket. What is remarkable is that the three stages returned to earth after placing a satellite in orbit: two landing back at Kennedy Space Center and one landing on a barge offshore, all for reuse later. Most remarkable is that this rocket is the result of private industry.

Judges get weirder every day. A federal appeals court has ruled that traffic cops marking your tires with chalk is unconstitutional.

Why does Enterprise hire college graduates to work the counters at the rental car agency? It's because they have demonstrated competence at something.

One of my favorite sites, the Babylon Bee did something out of character they printed an actual, accurate article.  Once you go there, click on the page title and explore some of their other stories.

Back in the 1930's, Kate Smith sang of couple of songs that were politically correct by today's standards. A person complained, and the Yankees have stopped playing her rendition of "God Bless America"

Bitter lessons 25 years after the Waco siege.

The day the dinosaurs died

Pretty interesting article about a paleontologist who may have found evidence of the meteor impact.

NY State voted $27M for scholarships for children of illegal immigrants while refusing to increase $2.7M funding for scholarships for children of veterans killed or disabled in wars.

Most of you know that the universities are being destroyed as a haven for knowledge and debate, but it's surprising to see this happening at Christian universities. Students at Taylor U are apoplectic that VP Mike Pence was asked to speak at graduation.

Is college worth the cost? A lot of students aren't learning anything of substance.  One reason is that more diversity is lowering standards.

The Southern Policy Law Center which used to be a force for good in civil rights, has become a skam organization devoted to fund raising. Unfortunately, it's taken seriously as it lists Christian organizations as "hate groups"

The Iraq war began sixteen years ago.  There is a myth about the war that Ari Fleisher wants to set straight for years.  After no WMDs were found, the left claimed "Bush lied.  People died."  This accusation itself is a lie.

Roger Simon says the american media destroyed themselves over the Mueller investigation.

A NYT review of a book about the history of forced sterilization in America.

San Antonio is banning Chic-fil-A from their airport in violation of the First Amendment. I really like their sandwiches. On that same subject, the Babylon Bee reports that protestors claim victory after blocking access to a Chic-fil-A for an entire Sunday.  The Bee is of course a satire site with terrific humor.

Government planners do not understand markets, so they promote overly pricey projects that fail to meet our real-world transportation needs. Rail transit is an obvious example.  More here on the fallacy of high-speed rail.

If you dispute the inflated and inconsistent claims of global warming alarmists, you are denounced as anti-science. You may even find yourself under investigation. But is catastrophic anthropogenic global warming actually a scientific theory at all?

Remember the scandals in Virginia involving the top three leaders?  They just disappeared because it would hurt the Democrats.

The Democrats want to get rid of the Electoral College because it works. It works to preserve the United States.

Men who identify as women are competing in women's sports; in the process destroying women's college athletics.

With the Mueller report coming out, the question arises: when did he know there was no collusion?

Trump is in the news allegedly for obstructing justice. Here are five instances of Obama obstructing justice.

Everything wrong with academia in two pictures.

California is creating a future energy crisis by virtue signaling. Another reason to leave the state.

Women's rowing is the perfect place to scam your daughter into college. Title IX distorts college athletics.

A bachelor’s degree certifies a set of life skills you don’t really need college for. Why does Enterprise hire graduates to work auto checkout counters?

Ukrainian law enforcement officials believe they have evidence of wrongdoing by American Democrats. Why aren't we interested?

Victor Davis Hanson on the return of ancient prejudices.

Recycling isn't working

Even the New York Times has figured out that residential recycling is a huge waste of money and other resources since there's no way to recycle all those cans and papers that conscientious people are sorting every day.

The big lie about climate change.  And here's a shorter version telling the same story the earth is cooling.

A new HBO documentary on Theranos, the amazing story of a charismatic leader raising $700 million for a technology that didn't work.

An interesting article on the Spanish Inquisition and how driving the Jews out of Spain destroyed the economy. An important lesson for modern anti-semites.

Mick Jagger, a British citizen, can get free health care in his home country.  Like many rich and famous people, he went to the US for treatment, because it's better and quicker. What does this say about "Medicare for all"?

NASA fired some rockets into the Northern Lights to do an experiment.  Here's the interesting picture.  You can see the movie here.

Here's a survey of the 25 most loved brands in the US.  Apple didn't make the list.

By now, you have heard that Benjamin Netanyahu won a new term as Prime Minister. What I found interesting in this article in The Times of Israel is how many parties there are in Israel. That sounds like something we need here instead of just two.

Audrey Hepburn was a resistance spy in World War 2. Here is the story told in a new book.

Somewhere up at Boeing there's a programmer that thought using just one angle-of-attack sensors to control the airplane was a good idea. Apparently, they break on a regular basis.

You probably thought that Quantum Mechanics, like global warming, was settled science. There's a new book out that disputes Einstein's theory.

Nobody wants to buy Valerie Jarrett's book, so how did it make the NYT's best seller list?

World War II pilot Dick Cole, the last surviving member of the Doolittle Raid, died last week at age 103. Here's an article from NPR.  In his memory, here's a painting of the Hornet sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge.  It's by artist William S. Phillips, and is so good that people on Facebook were arguing over whether it was photo-shopped.

Three Mile Island

It's been 40 years since the Three Mile Island incident. Did anything bad happen? Nothing bad happened to the people in the area, but the future of nuclear power was changed forever needlessly, amd nuclear power remains the safest form of energy—safer than wind and sunshine.

The mayor of Baltimore wrote a children's book. She sat on the board of the University of Maryland Medical System hospital, which bought 100,000 copies of her book.

Remember 911? A lot of people don't. We said we would never forget.

Snopes.com is where you go to fact check internet rumors. Unfortunately, Snopes biases their analysis in the liberal persuasion. Here's one persons experience.

There's a guy running for president you may not have heard of, but he's moving up in the charts.

What it's like to grow up with more money than you will ever spend.

Cool photo of space station in front of the moon.
