Where is Our Voice in the Wilderness Touting Conservatism?

With Obama's declining approval numbers, GOP candidates have a golden opportunity to explain the superior attributes and benefits of Conservatism.

Obama Insures Democrat Party Wins By Importing More Than 200,000 Syrian Illegal Aliens

More ultra BAD news out of the fortress in Washington, DC, once known as the 'seat of power' for America but lately called "Ohhhhhh Migawd Central Command for Socialized Communists" AKA the Oval Office.

Ebola just become ‘Obola’ with boots on the ground in West Africa

While he patently ignores dread diseases being brought into America over an unprotected southern border, waiting it out until midterm elections are over before delivery of government-stamped amnesty, who can really believe that President Barack Obama will deliver the world from Ebola?

It Worked All Left

If only the inventiveness of the leftism ended on Barack Obama's spelling of "R-S-P-E-C-T", Al Gore's "initiative in creating the Internet" or Joe Biden's libertine adventures "I have known eight presidents, three of them intimately"...

Recognizing the enemy

No matter how hard Obama tries to lie his way out of it and misdirect our attention from the fact; ISLAM is the foundational identity of this/these states,

New study throws into question long-held belief about depression

New evidence puts into doubt the long-standing belief that a deficiency in serotonin — a chemical messenger in the brain — plays a central role in depression. In the journal ACS Chemical Neuroscience, scientists report that mice lacking the ability to make serotonin in their brains (and thus should have been "depressed" by conventional wisdom) did not show depression-like symptoms.

Will the cure for Ebola come from Israel?

All eyes are on the Ebola epidemic in West Africa – which has been called the world’s deadliest to date. And scientists around the world are scrambling to find a vaccine or effective treatment. One of those scientists is Dr. Leslie Lobel of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev’s Center for Emerging Diseases, Tropical Diseases and AIDS. He came to the TLV1 Radio studio to talk with ISRAEL21c reporter Viva Sarah Press about the promising antibody therapy his team is developing against the virus, and about the hopes and fears of those living in this disease-stuck region.

Artificial 'beaks' that collect water from fog: A drought solution?

From the most parched areas of Saudi Arabia to water-scarce areas of the western U.S., the idea of harvesting fog for water is catching on. Now, a novel approach to this process could help meet affected communities' needs for the life-essential resource. Scientists describe their new, highly efficient fog collector, inspired by a shorebird's beak, in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

Fantastic: ISIS releases professionally produced trailer titled 'Flames of War'

Feds not ready for ISIS in Texas, but Sheriff Gary Painter is

President Obama promises to "degrade" ISIS, whatever that means. They cut off people's heads. We respond by "degrading" them (and never with boots on the ground, unless we do, or something). I would feel better if we heard the sort of seriousness from Obama that we hear from Sheriff Gary Painter of Midland, Texas:

Obama Delays Climate Plan Until After November Elections

Barack Obama applied the brakes to the most critical component of his climate change plan on Tuesday, slowing the process of setting new rules cutting carbon pollution from power plants, and casting a shadow over a landmark United Nations’ summit on global warming. In a conference call with reporters, the Environmental Protection Agency said it was extending the public comment period on the power plant rules for an additional 45 days, until 1 December. The delay follows heavy lobby by Republicans and industry lobby groups to delay the rule – or withdraw it outright. --Suzanne Goldenberg, The Guardian, 16 September 2014

The Interim Deal on the Iranian Nuclear Program: Toward a Comprehensive Solution?

The interim deal on Iran’s nuclear program, secured in late November 2013 and implemented from January 20, 2014, was intended to create space for the tough negotiations over a comprehensive deal that would close the Iranian nuclear file. The essays compiled in this volume analyze some of the key issues that have emerged regarding efforts to carve out a “good” nuclear deal with Iran, and highlight additional perspectives that have not been at the heart of the debate. Discussed in this collection are general principles for negotiating with Iran, Iran’s advances in the nuclear realm, the effect of economic sanctions, and the US-Israel-Iran deterrence triangle. The broader context is addressed in essays that consider Iran’s possible shift to a more moderate stance, the status of the military option, and US public opinion on talks with Iran. Regional perspectives focus on Israel, the Gulf states, and Turkey, and the volume closes with an essay that lays out the contours of an acceptable deal from Israel’s point of view.

Climate Change Crowd Moves Goalposts – Again

I have repeatedly pointed out on these pages an interesting pattern of the debating style of the loudest activists clamoring for massive government intervention to fight climate change. First, they beat their opponents to a pulp, chanting “the science is settled” and pointing everyone towards the “consensus” as epitomized in the “summary for policymakers” that accompanies the periodic reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). (Here’s just one example of Joe Romm linking the IPCC reports to the supposed scientific certainty involved.) Then, when the recipients of this public lashing actually read the peer-reviewed science and realize the case for government action is very weak, the activists change their attack completely, and now all of a sudden the IPCC reports are woefully inadequate.

Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry warns of decades of possible global cooling

Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry, who was until recently the Chair of School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Institute of Technology, detailed her conversion from a scientist who accepted the global warming “consensus” on man-made global warming to one who now openly challenges it. Curry spoke at the National Press Club in Washington DC on September 16 at an event sponsored by the George C. Marshall Institute. [Update: Curry has full text of her speech with PowerPoint slides here.]

Rooting out horse-meat fraud in the wake of a recent food scandal

As the United Kingdom forms a new crime unit designed to fight food fraud — in response to an uproar last year over horse meat being passed off as beef — scientists from Germany are reporting a technique for detecting meat adulteration. They describe their approach, which represents a vast improvement over current methods, in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Toward making lithium-sulfur batteries a commercial reality for a bigger energy punch

A fevered search for the next great high-energy, rechargeable battery technology is on. Scientists are now reporting they have overcome key obstacles toward making lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, which have the potential to leave today's lithium-ion technology in the dust. Their study appears in the ACS journal Nano Letters.

Freedom from Speech

"Freedom From Speech," a 61-page broadside written by Freedom for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) president Greg Lukianoff, deftly illustrates the evolving assault on free speech. "The public's appetite for punishing attempts at candor gone wrong, drunken rants, or even private statements made in anger or frustration seems to be growing at an alarming rate," Lukianoff warns.
