Newsweek Tries to Tie DeSantis to Pipe Bombs Sent to Liberals

25th October 2018

Read it.

“I want to make sure that Andrew Gillum knows that inviting his failed presidential candidate is the WORST mistake of his campaign,” the DeSantis email said. “I want Hillary Clinton’s visit to be a kiss of death.”

A Newsweek article linked that rhetoric to the bomb sent to Clinton, despite the fact that there is no evidence to link the two.

The Legacy of Fake Hate Crimes

25th October 2018

Kevin Williamson turns over a rock.

You may remember the case: After the 2016 presidential election, there were many reports of hate crimes, the general idea being that these were the work of Trump enthusiasts and those inspired by Trump’s electoral victory. The words “HEIL TRUMP” were painted on an Episcopal church in Bean Blossom, Ind. Tongues were clucked, tuts were tutted, and the culprit turned out to be the church’s liberal staff organist, David Stang. “Stang stated that he wanted to mobilize a movement after being disappointed in and fearful of the outcome of the national election,” said Theodore Adams, a local prosecutor.

Migrant Caravan Group Linked to Democrat Donors, Government Bureaucrats

23rd October 2018

Read it.

After doing some investigative work, it can now be revealed that the Pueblos Sin Frontera (People Without Borders/PSF) — the group that organized a caravan back in April — has a track record of links with the international Quaker movement, historical Democratic Party donors, U.S. government bureaucrats, and perhaps even a senior Mexican diplomat.

I hadn’t realized that there were groups organized for the express purpose of flooding the U.S. with Latin American immigrants.

DHS: More Than a Half Million People Tried to Illegally Cross the Southwest Border in FY2018

A total of 521,090 people were either arrested or deemed inadmissible at U.S. ports of entry along the border, according to Customs and Border Protection figures released Tuesday. That compares to 415,517 in fiscal year 2017, a year that saw historically low levels of illegal immigration in the months after President Donald Trump assumed office.

Even as it moves into Mexico, the illegal caravan has well over 1,000 miles to travel. There’s not enough time to get to the border by the November 7 election. So don’t be surprised if trucks, buses and cars “unexpectedly” show up to give them a lift most of the way across Mexico.

A Report From the Field

23rd October 2018

ZMan brings us up to date.

One of the stranger things about this age is that even the fiercest critics of the ruling class are finding it hard to keep pace with the ruling class confirming their claims. Make some exaggerated statement about the Cloud People and before you have had a chance to defend it from critics, Cloud People have taken to social media to prove your point. It’s a cliché to say that satire is dead, but it really does feel that way. How can you satirize people who are everything you mock them for being, plus some extra to make the point?

Cause and Effect: Cultural Decadence

23rd October 2018

The Other McCain looks at the ‘creative class’ cargo-cult mentality.

One of the Bad Ideas of recent years that bothers me most — because it is both widely believed among the elite and easily demonstrable as wrong — is Richard Florida’s theory of the “Creative Class” … The problem is that this is a reversal of cause and effect. Prosperity attracts artists and intellectuals to a city, but they are not the ones who create the basis of prosperity. Ancient Athens was famed for its architecture and philosophy, but its prosperity was due to the success of the Athenians in commerce and in war. Through the Aegean port of Piraeus, the ancient Athenians developed a vast merchant empire, establishing colonies throughout the region, as far as modern-day Turkey and Italy, and the wealth obtained by trade enabled the Athenians to equip a powerful army and navy. The Athenians were an adventurous, enterprising and warlike people, and it was these qualities that made their city wealthy, thus attracting the artists and philosophers. Richard Florida’s “creative class” theory gets this causation exactly backwards, confusing certain traits of wealthy places (especially tolerance of homosexuality) as the reason those places became wealthy.

Innovative New Device Uses the Air to Create Drinking Water for 100 People a Day

22nd October 2018

Read it.

Two water-centric tech organizations, The Skysource and Skywater Alliance, teamed up to develop a shipping-container-enclosed device that can turn water vapor (i.e., humidity) into drinking water at a significantly cheaper rate than other, similar technology or techniques like desalination. The group’s technique recently won the $1.50 million Water Abundance XPRIZE, a two-year competition devoted to coming up with energy-efficient ways to harvest fresh water from the air.

I wonder whether that would work in Texas.

The prize-winning version is powered by biogas, making it easy to operate almost anywhere. The biofuel gassifier creates renewable energy cheaply from cast-offs like wood chips, coconut shells, and dead plants, vaporizing the material to generate power. The system also generates a lot of heat, which is good for pulling water out of the air—think of how humid it is in the summer versus the winter. In the process of generating energy, the biogassifier also creates biochar, a type of charcoal that can improve soil fertility.

We got plenty of biogas in Texas. We can start with Austin.
