Is almost over, but we could choose another date for it, says Ilya Somin at Reason, a date to commemorate an ideology that took tens of millions of lives. And threatens to again.

Yom HaShoah

Posted on April 27, 2022 | Comments Off on Yom HaShoah

Holocaust Remembrance Day begins this evening, commemorating the closing of the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp in Poland, the largest of many run by Nazi Germany which murdered 6 million men, women and children. It’s a somber day in Israel, where about 200,000 aging Holocaust survivors live, and about 20 percent of the young are polling as fearful of another one. Those over age 45, having seen more of life, don’t. But anti-semitic incidents are increasing across the U.S. and around the world. The old, irrational hatred lives on.

The coming famine

Posted on April 11, 2022 | Comments Off on The coming famine

“Ukraine and Russia are two of the top grain-exporting countries in the world. Ukraine has been selling grain to the West since ancient times. With those supplies disrupted, a global food shortage impends, and many are predicting that populations in some vulnerable areas that can’t produce enough food for themselves will starve….

“Our farmers produce more food than anyone. But here, too, environmentalist fantasies are reducing food production. Countless acres of productive farm land are being taken over for wind and solar installations.”

Multi-Use Nozzle Jet Injector

Posted on April 2, 2022 | Comments Off on Multi-Use Nozzle Jet Injector

Used on us veterans in the 1960s for vaccinations. As an Infantry OCS classmate writes:

“A slight tremor by the operator opened up an impressively deep divot on your arm. No longer recommended for use, as the body fluids  from your arm apparently rebounded onto the nozzle, inoculating the next man in line with the intended vaccine plus whatever was going on in you (how many classmates’ DNA are we carrying around as I write this?  Talk about blood Brothers! Yo! Bro!). “

Heh.

A Nation of Draft Dodgers

Posted on March 18, 2022 | Comments Off on A Nation of Draft Dodgers

Interesting piece on our draft-less circumstances at a potential time of big war. We’ve outsourced our multiple, smaller wars of late by paying “volunteers” about $40,000 each to enlist. It may have been increased since the government’s bugout from Afghanistan. The mercenary aspect is just one of the interesting items in this year-old essay in the Military Times.

The Ukraine debacle

Posted on February 22, 2022 | Comments Off on The Ukraine debacle

Nevermind the Putin-Biden imbroglio over Ukraine, it’s the fallout that will hit us all. President Trump hits it head-on:

“Now it has begun, oil prices are going higher and higher, and Putin is not only getting what he always wanted, but getting, because of the oil and gas surge, richer and richer. The U.S. was energy independent under the Trump Administration, an independence that we had never obtained before, and oil prices would have remained low. Now, what a mess our Country is in!”

Oil producers everywhere, including Texas, will benefit from higher oil prices, but hardly anyone else. Interesting that through at least five other presidents we never had energy independence. Trump proved they could have done it. They didn’t.

UPDATE: “Putin couldn’t care less about Biden’s [economic] sanctions,” says National Review.
