The only fat man in North Korea has changed his approach but not his goal.

*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * Why? *The SR-71’s JP-7 fuel—which also had to be carried onboard specialized KC-135Q tankers to refuel the Blackbird—was designed to be a safe, high-flashpoint fuel that would not vaporize or blow up under extreme heat and pressure. It had such low volatility that one could supposedly extinguish a match in a puddle of JP-7. But that also meant that the fuel was difficult to ignite using the convention systems, which meant Lockheed had to develop a triethylborane-based chemical ignition system for the SR-71’s engines—adding to the jet’s complexity an... more »

I'm not a fan

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 14 hours ago
I was more than a little mind-boggled to learn that Alien Gear plans to introduce an inside-the-waistband holster with a fan in it. I can only assume this is some sort of advertising gimmick. For a start, the fan couldn't push cooling air through the holes at the rear of the holster, because your body will block them! It'll just push air uselessly against your skin, then blow it out the top or bottom of the holster. There's also the question of security. If you're carrying inside-the-waistband, presumably covering the gun with an outer garment, you don't want it to be noticed... more »

Donald Trump and the Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence occupies a far smaller place in Donald Trump’s public rhetoric than in the public rhetoric of any other modern president. Presidential references to the Declaration of Independence or presidential quotations of such phrases as “all men are created equal” rose steadily from 1933 to 2016, in part because presidents gave an increasing number of recorded speeches and issued an increasing number of public proclamations.

We Are Not Making Progress

Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 15 hours ago
The countries which fought on the United Nations side of the Korean War are meeting in Vancouver. China, Russia -- and North Korea -- won't be there. The United States is pushing for more sanctions. But, Andrew Coyne writes: Sanctions . . . will only be as effective as China allows them to be. And while the Chinese have tightened the screws to some degree, they are also likely to oppose any serious attempt to enforce them: for example, by means of “maritime interdiction,” the multinational quasi-blockade that is also up for discussion in Vancouver. North Korea has already denounced... more »

Immanuel Kant is believed to have attended the lecture of Johann Adam Gregorovius (1681—1749), an Aristotelian professor, in 1740, at the Königsberg University. Gregorovius’s primary concern was to defend Aristotle’s moral philosophy against more modern attempts at ethics. In the *Wöchentliche Nachrichten* of 1741, Gregorovius said, among other things: *I cannot make a secret of the fact that the philosophy of Aristotle has been so maligned and ridiculed since so many new systems have appeared after the beginning of this century… that no dog would take a piece of bread from an Arist... more »

*Body Cams* The Black Community (whatever that is) is now upset that police are using body cameras. They don't show police officers gunning down negroes, but they do show inner city people acting like a bunch of savages, aiding the police in convincing juries to convict. Many black leaders are now calling for the elimination of body cams because - wait for it - *they're racist*. Isn't that just precious? My personal feeling about body cams is that they are generally a negative thing that causes officers to be less diligent. However, the police have found that cameras in the cars t... more »

Q anon Feed

I post here the Q anon feed from this past weekend. It is cryptic and loaded with intel shorthand and difficult to work around. Plenty of that has been done though by commentators. My take on the ongoing situation is that a war room has been set up in the Whitehouse and that Q has been tasked with feeding intel to loyalists in order to prepare at least a part of the public for the disclosure coming. We know 10,000 sealed indictments now exist. We have been told that the military is in charge already as what we are dealing with is likely deemed as an attempted coup by elements o... more »
