New York’s Unstable Electric Grid

New York's Unstable Electric GridNew York's Con Ed has had two major power outages within a two-week period--and the outages probably will continue given the state's new policies that will only destabilize its electric grid further. The state will not allow new natural gas pipelines, which has forced moratoria on new natural gas hook-ups in Westchester County, Brooklyn, Queens, and on Long Island.

Israel’s Goals of War: Victory of Time over Space

Israel's Goals of War: Victory of Time over SpaceIn today’s complex and fluid reality, what are Israel's war goals? An objective military victory along the lines of the Six Day War seems impossible. A subjective victory, by way of a "victory image," is a matter for PR and propaganda aimed at public opinion. A "victory image," being a Clausewitzian objective of a "political gain," is not a legitimate goal for a democracy defending itself.

The Spirit of Karol Wojtyla Lives Forever In Our Hearts

The Spirit of Karol Wojtyla Lives Forever In Our HeartsIt’s got to be one of the greatest ironies of our times that the Communists in the Red Square will remember Pope John Paul II longer than the Vatican. No one terrified the Kremlin more than Pope John Paul II when he was Bishop Karol Wojtyla often leading Mass in Nowa Huta, Poland open fields, in the face of brutal Communism.

United State of Veterans

United State of VeteransWelcome to the the United States of Veterans. Many will say: "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here". And yet, it's you who should abandon hope for a visa, all ye VA desk jockeys, civil serpents, pink pajamas paladins and Foxtrot buddies. This is United State of Veterans. The only State completely surrounded by a wall. The wall wasn't built by Veterans, it was gradually constructed by corrupt politicians as a monument to their own treason. However, these were the Veterans who had to pay for it –with blood, with sacrifice and with isolation.

Questions Often Asked: Dog Days of Summer

This became to the Romans, always ready to adopt Greek culture, caniculares dies: days of the dogs. In the Northern Hemisphere these is the hot, humid days of midsummer--roughly mid-July to the third week of August--this year 12 July to 20 August. The Greeks believed that a combination of Sirius' light with that of the Sun's effected plants, animals, women and men.

Wind and solar energy creates extra, higher costs, produces fewer environmental benefits than propon

Wind and solar energy creates extra, higher costs, produces fewer environmental benefits than proponents claimTORONTO—Despite rhetoric that renewable energy is cheap, wind and solar power generation comes with large—yet often ignored—costs that increase electricity prices for residents and businesses, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. “Electricity systems are complex, and too often policymakers pursue renewable energy sources such as wind and solar without understanding their true costs,” said Pierre Desrochers, Fraser Institute senior fellow, associate professor at the University of Toronto Mississauga and co-author of Generating Electricity in Canada from Wind and Sunlight: Is Getting Less for More Better than Getting More for Less?

Nadler leads Democrats into the Valley of Death

Nadler leads Democrats into the Valley of DeathThe insistence by Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Jerrold Nadler to subpoena a reluctant Robert Mueller to testify before the Committee has proved an unmitigated disaster. Nadler had hoped that Mueller would appear before the Committee on May 15 but the Committee's 24-16 vote on party lines to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena for the unredacted Mueller report and its underlying evidence appeared to have complicated negotiations for Mueller to testify before the Committee.

Alligators in Alaska

Alligators in Alaska60-to-50 million years ago (60-50 Ma) Earth’s surface temperatures averaged 10-to-15 degrees Celsius higher than present. Reduced temperature disparities between equatorial and high latitudes meant Tropical Regions were mildly warmer than now; while Polar Regions were qualitatively hotter. Azolla ferns graced lakes near the North Pole. Alligators slid into steamy swamps across Alaskan everglades. Zephyrs fluttered palm leaves aside searing Swedish shores.

Senator Kamala Harris Lives In the Most Segregated Neighborhood in Los Angeles

Senator Kamala Harris Lives In the Most Segregated Neighborhood in Los AngelesSenator Kamala Harris, who lives with her white husband in one of the most segregated neighborhoods in Los Angeles, has come out with a call for busing children to distant schools to fight “segregation”. That’s great for Kamala, who has no children. Her stepson, Cole, who works at the William Morris Agency, which is about as diverse as his dad and S-Mamala’s Brentwood hood, won’t be bussed to work at more diverse talent agencies, and Ella, won’t be bused from her studies at Parsons School of Design (4% black) to a more diverse design college. Like most politicians, Harris wants to penalize other people.
