How the media turned candidate Trump into a racist
I’ve never heard the President say anything racist. He’s done more for minorities by making America great again than Obama ever could with hope and change (to a more socialist country). How is it so many Democrats believe this? It’s our media. They get paid for every click. "It began when he announced his intention to run for president in June of 2015. Typical of the media reception he received was the NBC story titled, “Donald Trump Announces Presidential Bid by Trashing Mexico, Mexicans.” What he actually did, of course, was say what every major politician regardless of part... more »

This Colt Assault Rifle Has 1 Big Problem: It Can't Shoot Straight

Four interesting papers
On hep-ph, I choose a paper by Benedetti, Li, Maxin, Nanopoulos about a natural D-braneworld (supersymmetric) inspired model. The word "inspired" means that they believe that similar models (effective QFTs) arise from a precise string theory analysis of some compactifications but as phenomenologists, they don't want to do the string stuff precisely. ;-) It belongs to these authors' favorite flipped \(SU(5)\) or \({\mathcal F}\)-\(SU(5)\) class of models and involves new fields, flippons, near \(1\TeV\). The LSP is Higgsino-like and the viable parameter space is rather compact and ni... more »

All of the Ways America Would Crush Iran in a War
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Middle East* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/4533373/turn-and-burn-low-fly-zone] It won't be pretty. *Laser systems seek to deny swarming tactics this advantage. Instead of defending against swarming tactics with expensive anti-ship and anti-air missiles, lasers will allow America to destroy large swarms of speedboats or drones cheaply. At $1 per shot of a directed energy source, the Navy has said the cost of these laser systems is about 1/100th of existing missile systems. Equally important, unlike missiles—where space constraints limit the numb... more »

U.S. Air Force F-22s, F-16s, and F-15s Just Did a "Dispersal Exercise"
*David Axe* *Security, * And China is the most likely reason why. The U.S. Air Force on April 22, 2019 practiced spreading out its warplanes across the Pacific region in order to make it harder for Chinese forces to target them.

American forces would spread out to dodge Chinese attack, then gather to conduct their own attacks. “Pacific Air Forces airmen and aircraft from across the command joined ... more »

Nothing noble about sacrifice
Since so many have used the word today, let's define it: Nothing noble about that. Let's examine it: *“Sacrifice” is the surrender of a greater value for the sake of a lesser one or of a nonvalue. Thus, altruism gauges a man’s virtue by the degree to which he surrenders, renounces or betrays his values (since help to a stranger or an enemy is regarded as more virtuous, less “selfish,” than help to those one loves). The rational principle of conduct is the exact opposite: always act in accordance with the hierarchy of your values, and never sacrifice a greater value to a lesser o... more »
Breaking the Ice
*The Premise of the Green New Deal...* ...is that the polar caps are melting as the Earth warms. Yet Congress authorized three new heavy ice breakers for the US Coast Guard (more here). It seems to me that those are ships without a mission unless we stop driving cars and kill all of the cows now. Congress needs to decide what it believes in. Conventional progressive wisdom holds that by 2024 (when the first of the ships will be launched), there won't be any polar ice remaining...even though the polar ice cap has been growing in size and thickness over the past few years. Maybe th... more »
