The Eric Bauman Quandry
Nevada Democratic congressman, Ruben Kihuen, didn't run for reelection because he was accused, credibly, of sexual harassment of women over whom he had some degree of power. Last week the House Ethics Committee concluded that he was, indeed, a sexual harasser, detailing repeated instances of Kihuen harassing women who either worked for him, worked for a company that he'd hired or lobbied him during his time in the Nevada State Senate. I think he's planning on running for the Las Vegas City Council. (Hey, two weeks ago, Nevada voters elected Republican brothel owner Dennis Hof to th... more »

Air Force Official on the F-35: “It's like fighting Mr. Invisible.”
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * While the Raptor would be the most formidable fighter in the world due to its raw performance even without stealth, it’s now clear to me that even the F-35 with its mediocre kinematic performance will be an extremely dangerous foe in the air due to its low radar cross-section and sensors. *“Even if you were in an Eagle or J-20...

Constant Healing: Everyone is Fighting a Hard Battle
We live in a world of distraction; the abundance of mediums and means for looking outward has made it infinitely easier to focus on everything but ourselves.

Thankful for US President Trump’s honesty : It is all about oil and Israel
Last week US President Donald Trump spoke about Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

Her cards took a detour
When the mail arrived today I looked through it and pulled out a Christmas catalog to throw away. But it felt a little thick, so I opened it, and inside were two cards addressed in red to two families in Pennsylvania, from a family in Aspinwall, Pennsylvania, a borough in the Pittsburgh metro area with hockey player forever stamps not cancelled. So I figured that somehow those cards got pushed inside a catalog addressed to us along the way from Pittsburgh. There was a return address so I sat down and wrote a note to the sender telling her that her cards had made a detour to Co... more »

3-D Printer Body Armor is Great for the U.S. Army—and Terrorists
*Michael Peck* *Security, * [image: Flickr / The U.S. Army] Well, this can't be good. U.S. Army researchers have devised a method to produce ceramic body armor, lightweight but strong, from a 3-D printer. Except that 3-D printers are meant to print out knickknacks, not flak jackets. Which meant that engineers had to hack into the printer to get the job done. Ceramic armor, light but hard, provides great protection but can also be difficult to manufacture, notably in combining materials to create a strong com composite. “For ceramics, that’s a bit of a challenge because with you ... more »

A Big Step for Greater Israel
