NYT: Vote Fraud Would Require Many Politicos Working Together Like a Machine: a ‘Political Machine,’ if You Can Imagine Such a Concept

7th November 2020

Steve Sailer.

The New York Times Opinion section explains that vote fraud is practically impossible because it would require a large number of people working together to win elections with machine-like coordination: a “political machine” if you can imagine such a thing.

But, of course, political machines don’t exist.

Transgender Mania: NCAALGBT Moving Toward More Inclusion of Dudes on Women’s Teams

6th November 2020

Read it.

Boise, Idaho, you can kiss your inclusion in March Madness next spring good-bye. The NCAA prefers a different version of inclusion for its host sites, one that doesn’t ban males from participating in female sports like Idaho does. College sports fans, trans inclusion is rolling down the tracks and little can stop it.

SB Nation Outsports reports that the NCAALGBT hasn’t yet rescinded its agreement for NCAA Tournament games in Boise, but the sport’s governing association is in the tank for transgenders.

The Left Is Again Showing That It Can’t Stand Anyone Who Disagrees

6th November 2020

Glenn Harlan Reynolds (Instapundit).

One response might be self-criticism: to wonder how, after four years of single-mindedly trying to get rid of Trump and marginalize his followers, things didn’t go better. Instead, Democrats’ thinkers seem to be asking themselves variations on “How can I live in a country where half the people supported Donald Trump?”

According to the Campus Reform Web site, professors around America were expressing anger and claiming to feel “genuinely unsafe, given the sheer number of people willing to vote for Trump.” Some canceled classes for the rest of the week, apparently because of the emotional strain.

An article in The New Republic by Andrew Cohen asks: “What do we do with all these Trump supporters?” (Spoiler: “Learn to live with them and respect your differences” isn’t on the agenda.)

Whine, little snowflake, shiver, shiver….

Just as feeding into the high drama employee validates her drama, participating in elections now validates the corruption. When the crooks rig the election, they plausibly claim that it was the will of the people. After all, the people were dumb enough to participate in the charade. They must like it. If in the next election, turnout is 30% and the Democrats win with 110% of the vote in Michigan, even the crooks will have to acknowledge that the whole thing is just a ridiculous sham.

When I read that the United Arab Emirate’s Minister of Tolerance had been accused of sexual assault, I could not help but smile. The account of the assault itself, if true, was not at all funny, quite the reverse, but what caused me to smile was the very idea of a government minister of tolerance, presumably with a whole ministry to himself, complete with deputy ministers, senior and junior bureaucrats, secretaries, office cleaners, etc. No satirist could have invented anything better.

The first thing to notice about the young, ahh, lady arrested in Manhattan Wednesday for spitting in a cop’s face is that she was back on the street before they had time to test the cop for rabies.

The second, as Joe Biden inches slowly toward his magic number, is that a goodly number of 2016’s sore losers intend fully to become 2020’s sore winners, should it come to that, so nobody reasonably can expect peace and quiet. Preening self-righteousness is like crack; once you’re hooked, it’s hard to give it up.

COVID-19 brought K-12 education to a grinding halt in March.

Many traditional public schools remain closed to in-person instruction this fall, while many families are left to navigate the school districts’ crisis online-learning offerings.

Some families, however, opted to try a relatively new education model; namely, learning pods.

Parent-driven learning pods, in which families collaborate to create small education environments that emphasize in-person schooling to small student groups, swept the nation in response to school closures.

Self-Watering SMAG-Soil Pulls Moisture From the Air

Read it.

Generally speaking, you don’t see a wide variety of crops being grown in arid regions – especially when irrigation isn’t practical and/or affordable. That could be about to change, though, with the development of what’s being described as “self-watering soil.”

Created by engineers from The University of Texas at Austin, the material consists of a 1:3 weight-ratio combination of hydrophilic (water-attracting) hydrogels and natural sandy soil. It’s known as SMAG-soil, with SMAG standing for “super moisture absorbent gels.”

‘Landmark’ Study Resolves a Major Mystery of How Genes Govern Human Height

5th November 2020

Read it.

For height, DNA is largely destiny. Studies of identical and fraternal twins suggest up to 80% of variation in height is genetic. But the genes responsible have largely eluded researchers. Now, by amassing genome data for 4 million people—the largest such study ever—geneticists have accounted for a major share of this “missing heritability,” at least for people of European ancestry. In this group, they’ve identified nearly 10,000 DNA markers that appear to fully explain the influence of common genetic variants over height.

Massive Voter FraudiIn Wisconsin?

5th November 2020

John Hinderaker at PowerLine.

News outlets tell us that President Trump underperformed in key midwestern states, compared with 2016. But that isn’t exactly true. Take Wisconsin: four years ago, Trump carried the state with 1,405,284 votes. This year, with 99% of the vote tabulated, Trump had 1,610,007 votes, more than 200,000 more votes than he received four years ago. Yet, we are told, he lost the state to the inept Joe Biden.

That seems unlikely. There were 3,684,726 registered voters in Wisconsin going into Election day. The total votes recorded in Wisconsin were 3,240,549. That would give Wisconsin a turnout of 88%. According to Ballotpedia, no American state in the period 2002-2018 has ever achieved a turnout rate of 80% or higher. For purposes of comparison, in 2016 Wisconsin had a 67 percent turnout rate. If you are credulous, you can believe that 21% more Wisconsinites voted this year, compared with the red-hot election of four years ago, and 248,000 more Wisconsinites turned out to vote for the charismatic Joe Biden this year than voted for Hillary Clinton four years ago. I think those numbers are almost certainly false, the result of ballot manipulation.

Companies Join Exodus to Suburbs as Cities Transform Into “Ghost Towns”

5th November 2020

Read it.

People and companies are leaving American cities in droves. An urban exodus could persist for a couple of years as the virus pandemic and resulting socio-economic implosion has exacerbated quality of life problems – violent crime, homelessness, rising taxes, and high cost of living – those were some of the reasons, even before the pandemic, forcing city dwellers to rural communities.

San Francisco Voters Approve First-In-The-Nation CEO Tax That Targets Income Gap

5th November 2020

Read it.

San Francisco voters approved a new tax that will target businesses with the most disproportionately paid CEOs.

Measure L required a simple majority to pass and was approved by 65.18% of voters Tuesday night, making San Francisco the first U.S. city to move to tax both private and public businesses based on how “overpaid” their top executives are.

Time to leave.

The measure, introduced by Supervisor Matt Haney and backed by the board, is expected to generate between $60 million and $140 million a year in general funds starting in 2022, according to an estimate by the city. Haney said he wants most of the money to be directed towards health services.

These ‘estimates’ never pan out, because the companies leave or restructure to avoid the tax.

South American Drug Cartels Launch Fleet of Narco Subs

5th November 2020

Read it.

No surfer ever had a wilder ride. A member of the U.S. Coast Guard, in full combat gear, is hammering furiously on the hatch of a semi-submerged small submarine, clinging desperately to its stubby conning tower as it surges at top speed through the Pacific off the coast of Colombia.

The brave American seaman has already risked his life jumping on to the sub from a high-speed pursuit boat. One slip could be fatal as waves crash over the the fibreglass deck of the violently pitching vessel. Its crew, peering furtively through the narrow cabin windows, have ignored demands to stop and, given the preciousness of their cargo, are making a run for it. However, with boats shadowing them on either side, they clearly realise that resistance is futile.

As other members of the Coast Guard train their guns on the hatch, it opens and hands appear, raised in surrender. Also surrendered is the cargo — more than 17,000lb of cocaine worth a staggering £180 million in large waterproof plastic-wrapped bales.

The software is currently employed by 14 local and federal agencies in the US and was revealed in court documents reviewed by The Washington Post. Reports said that the NCRFRILS – apparently a pilot program of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments – has run 12,000 searches as of last year, and attempts to match faces against a database of 1.4 million people.

Since the last few posts and their comments have been discussing the heretofore all-but-unthinkable, let’s move all of that up here. I’ll put my cards on the table. Trying to predict the exact course of events is a mug’s game, ditto the likely outcome of general trends… but the general trends are clear enough: Last night was America’s last even kinda sorta arguably “open” election (n.b. not “free,” let alone “fair”), and might be our last election, period.

No matter what happens, nobody, anywhere, will consider this election legitimate. Even if Trump wins — which is possible, perhaps even likely — all that will mean is that his lawyers were smart enough to catch the Democrats in obvious voter fraud, and the Democrats were dumb enough to get caught, this time.

These people are criminal sociopaths. I mean that quite literally. As any cop will tell you, some criminals are born, others are made, but there’s really no such thing as an ex-criminal. “Crime” is a way of life. Whether you’re a bank robber or a drug dealer or a tax cheat is epiphenomenal — that’s the type of law that it was most convenient for you to break, given your situation. But once you start bending the rules, it’s inevitable that you’ll break them… and once broken, keep on breaking them. There’s no way the people who tried to steal the election for Biden are going to straighten up and fly right, because they can’t. And again as any cop will tell you, crimes aren’t stopped by the vigilance of the security forces and the brilliance of detectives. It’s an equal combination of criminal stupidity and luck — sheer, dumb, stupid fucking luck. Maybe they won’t succeed in stealing this election, but they’ll steal one sooner than later.

Klein Vision’s Flying Car Prototype Takes to the Skies After Driving the Road

4th November 2020

Read it.  And watch the video.

We may call them air taxis but let’s face it, flying cars are really just small airplanes at this point. That may be about to change, though, thanks to the Klein Vision AirCar, an aircraft that actually looks and functions like the vehicle you drive to work each day.

Late last week, the Slovakian startup shared a video of the AirCar prototype successfully completing its maiden flight. The short clip doesn’t just show off the aircraft soaring through the sky; it also displays the vehicle’s driving capabilities.

Me want.

Study Finds 5 Distinct Dog Types From 11,000 Years Ago

4th November 2020

Read it.

The team studied dog DNA dating as far back as 11,000 years ago, immediately following the last Ice Age. By sequencing the DNA of 27 dogs found in Europe, the Near East and Siberia, team members discovered five different types of dogs with distinct genetic ancestries dating from before any other animal had been domesticated.
