Thousands of people are expected to March at today’s “March for our Lives” protests that are being held in Washington DC and many other parts of the country. Many of them are sincere members of what is being called Generation Z, and they are marching for what they hope will change in the amount of gun violence in our country. They believe their quest for gun control to be non-partisan and just…

Did you know that the worst school shooting in American history, the murder of 32 students at Virginia Tech, was done using a Glock 9 mm handgun? I can tell you for certain that it is known to the many of the liberals on TV that are advocating banning AR-15 type weapons.  So why would they advocate banning this specific type of weapon if they know that school shooters can easily kill as many or…

One of the problems that Congress is going to have with DACA is that it covers too general a population. I don’t think you should group a 17-year-old who came here when he was six months old with a 17-year-old who came here six months ago.

The first has never known anything other than America. He grew up as an American and attended American schools. He speaks the language and he considers…

That Joke about Obama being Responsible for the Great Economy

Did you hear that great joke about Obama being responsible for the amazing economic growth of 2017?  What a zinger!  That joke never fails to get a good laugh from anybody that paid attention to the economy during the eight year Obama administration.

To be sure, President Obama came into office during economic recession. With many…

In March of 2015, I wrote about creating the structure to sustain a growing permanent economy that centered on catering to the needs personnel in orbital, Moon and asteroid mining operations.  One of the aspects of the orbital operations was the clean up of the ever growing amount of space debris.

I wrote “Another possible customer would be the company or companies that are paid to remove the…

Spectral analysis of underground layers—which start three to six feet beneath the surface of Mars indicate they are made of water ice.

If this analysis is confirmed, then we suddenly have prime targets for human landing sites.  We would also have a huge bump up in the odds that a sustainable…

Anyone that has a problem with President Trump calling some countries “Shitholes’ should read this brilliant article:

https://www.city-journal.org/html/crudeness-and-truth-15668.html

This article has many excellent points but this is my favorite:

“Let’s state the obvious. Some countries are shitholes. To claim that this is racist is racist. They are not shitholes because of the color of the…

Poltico.com recently released a bombshell article about their investigation into how the Obama Administration appears to have blocked a US agency’s investigation that was linking terrorist group Hezbollah’s use of drug trafficking and money laundering to finance their global terrorist operations.  Apparently the agency was being too good at linking high level Iranian officials to the terrorist…

Biohacker Josiah Zayner livestreamed his DNA injection at a recent biotech conference.  He targeted the gene for myostatin [a protein that regulates muscle growth].  Zayner has a PhD in molecular biophysics and spent two years as a research fellow at NASA.

This could be very interesting but he may want…

Astrophysicist and author Ethan Siegel recently wrote an article titled “Sorry America, We are Not Going Back To The Moon“.  I respect his opinion and enjoy his writing but I disagree with him on this subject.

I disagree for three reasons:

The New Moon Race is primarily being pushed by civilian ventures, including SpaceX, Moon Express, the Moon X-Prize, Bigelow Aerospace, and many others. Their…

  If you think human starships traveling to other stars is something just for science fiction or is at best, something far in our future, then check out the great article at NextBigFuture.com that shows real science that is working to make this a reality in our lifetime.  These scientists are talking about technology that is within our current scientific capabilities.  The Mach Effect propulsion…

Politicians are great at naming their legislature from a marketing perspective. Liberals will create something like the “Protect the Puppies Act” and do so to put their opponents in a harder defensive position. How could you not want to protect the puppies? Do you hate puppies? What kind of monster are you not to want to protect puppies?

These politicians go out of their way to give their…

Glenn Greenwald writes about how some of the nations most influential news media organizations are repeatedly passing along fake news and not even slightly caring how biased doing so makes them look to the general public. https://theintercept.com/2017/12/09/the-u-s-media-yesterday-suffered-its-most-humiliating-debacle-in-ages-now-refuses-all-transparency-over-what-happened/

The guy who caught this 17 foot Burmese Python said that it could ‘pretty much kill any full-grown man’

Republicans have been telling Democrats that they are in no position to act as moral judge and jury given the number of Democrat members who’ve been accused of and even confessed to sexual harassment. Now over a dozen fellow Democrat Senators are calling on Senator Al Franken to resign. It seems clear that she and another Democrat leaders see the need to remove Franken so they don’t look…

When I think of the use of Microwaves as a weapon, I usually think of some sort of directed beam device such as a MASER.  The Air Force has recently announced development of a different military utilization of Microwaves.  Instead of a beam, the device is launched inside a cruise missile and when it gets into the proximity of its target, whether it is a incoming enemy nuclear warhead or a enemy…
