In a recent article for the Connecticut Post, Senator Richard Blumenthal assured Americans that were getting our moneys worth on our Ukraine investment. Click for Full Text!

Yall know how much I dislike commies. Labor Day, in particular, is one of my biggest pet peeves. Its literally my least favorite holiday, right up there with Presidents Day. By contrast, Im a huge supporter of Thanksgiving. We should spend our days of rest being thankful for what weve achieved and not feeling entitled to something we didnt earn. Thats the essence of Labor Day, a day designed to reinforce the cultural divide between the entrepreneur and the people he employs. Click for Full Text!
Niger's crisis began in Libya Post Date: 2023-09-09 00:41:22 by Charles_Byrd

The events in Niger over the past few months have been alarming to watch. What began as a military coup now risks spiraling into a wider war in West Africa, with a group of juntas lining up to fight against a regional force threatening to invade and restore democratic rule in Niamey. The junta have explicitly justified their coup as a response to the continuous deterioration of the security situation plaguing Niger and complained that it and other countries in the Sahel have been dealing for over 10 years with the negative socioeconomic, security, political and humanitarian consequences of NATOs hazardous adventure in Libya. Even ordinary Nigeriens backing the ...

South Dakota farmers are celebrating a major victory. Their states Public Utilities Commission (PUC) voted unanimously on Wednesday to reject a controversial carbon-capture pipeline proposal. Navigator CO2 Ventures is one of two private, for-profit companies that have been threatening to gobble up thousands of acres of private land throughout the Great Plains, for the ostensible purpose of saving the earth. They intend to capture carbon dioxide emitted from ethanol plants throughout the Corn Belt and pipe it thousands of miles away to underground storage. The pipeline system was slated to cross 112 miles of eastern South Dakota farmland. Click for Full Text!
U.K. Government Finally Admits It Can't Scan for Child Porn Without Violating Everybody's Privacy Post Date: 2023-09-07 23:48:34 by Charles_Byrd

The U.K. government finally acknowledges that a component of the Online Safety Bill that would force tech companies to scan data and messages for child porn images can't be implemented without violating the privacy rights of all internet users and undermining the data encryption tools that keep our information safe. And so the government is backing downfor nowon what's been called the "spy clause." Using the justification of fighting the spread of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), part of the Online Safety Bill would have required online platforms to create "backdoors" that the British government could use to scan messages between social media ...

Its easy, if not entirely fair, to explain Alexander Hamiltons relentless search for fame and power as the outcome of a life begun under very unfavorable conditions. He was born on Jan. 11, 1757, an illegitimate child on the Caribbean island of Nevis, then a possession of the British Empire. His father deserted young Alexanders mother when he was 8, and his mother died when he was 11. Click for Full Text!

A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction against the State of Texas and Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday ordering that the floating border barrier in the Rio Grande be moved, as it irreparably harms the public safety, navigation, and the operations of federal agency officials in and around the Rio Grande.

Rick Doblin: The Man Behind the 'Psychedelic '20s' Post Date: 2023-09-07 23:36:50 by Charles_Byrd

In June, I traveled to Denver with Zach Weissmueller to cover the Psychedelic Science 2023 conference, which was organized by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a group that has been working to gain approval of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD and related ailments since the late 1980s. We produced a 30-minute documentary about what is rightly called today's "psychedelic renaissance," or a new flourishing of substances and subcultures that mostly went underground at the end of the 1960s. The documentary tells the history of psychedelics and how today's proponents of better living through chemistry are doing things in a very different way than ...

I have a few confessions to make: After almost eight years of off-and-on war in Afghanistan and after more than six years of mayhem and death since "Mission Accomplished" was declared in Operation Iraqi Freedom, I'm tired of seeing simple-minded magnetic ribbons on vehicles telling me, a 20-year military veteran, to support or pray for our troops. As a Christian, I find it presumptuous to see ribbons shaped like fish, with an American flag as a tail, informing me that God blesses our troops. I'm underwhelmed by gigantic American flags -- up to 100 feet by 300 feet -- repeatedly being unfurled in our sports arenas, as if our love of country is greater when our flags are ...
Digging Deeper into Scripture: Matthew 18:15–20 Post Date: 2023-09-07 22:43:37 by Charles_Byrd

During nearly thirty years of professional church work, I have often wondered which sin is most damaging to the local congregation. In my experience, it is not disregard for worship and Bible study, arguments over money, lack of unity regarding mission and ministry, lack of forgiveness, theft, or even adultery. In my experience, the single sin which most damages congregations is mismanagement of conflict between brothers and sisters in the faith. There are numerous reasons. Foremost, this mismanagement destroys trust, which damages relationships. But it also breeds gossip and character assassination, which can lead to loss of good reputation and even loss of employment. Mismanagement of ...
Watch an Early Silent Film About the Theory of Relativity Post Date: 2023-09-07 22:41:19 by Charles_Byrd

Albert Einstein first published his theory of special relativity in 1905; his work on general relativity followed in 1915. By 1923, Premier Productions made a silent film to explain the most salient bits. Though its entirely silent (and, of course, 100 years old), its a thoroughly lucid way to understand Einsteins most important workwith some great vintage animation as well. The theory of special relativity revolutionized the ways that scientists study and understand the universe. It introduced the famous equation E = mc2, which stands for energy = mass x the speed of light squared. Fundamentally, special relativity proposes that mass and energy are the ...
