American Firm Presses Ahead With Tech Creating Hydrogen From Seawater Without Any Need for Desalination

6th May 2021

Read it.

Because the sHYp electrolyser operates without a membrane, can be 3D printed, does not require that input water be purified, is designed for modular generation at the point of use and produces no harmful by-products that must be disposed of, the technology is expected to be relatively inexpensive and more environmentally friendly compared with conventional electrolysis.

Swiss Billionaire Gave Millions to Eric Holder’s Partisan Gerrymandering Group

6th May 2021

Read it.

A liberal Swiss billionaire known for meddling in U.S. elections has funneled millions of dollars to former attorney general Eric Holder’s effort to redraw electoral maps in favor of Democrats, newly obtained documents reveal.

The Berger Action Fund, the advocacy arm of Swiss megadonor Hansjörg Wyss’s Wyss Foundation, passed $3 million to the National Redistricting Action Fund (NRAF) between 2018 and 2020. The NRAF is the 501(c)(4) lobbying arm of Holder’s National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a self-described “centralized hub for executing a comprehensive redistricting strategy” to give Democrats an edge in congressional races.

Mental Middlemen

5th May 2021

Severian is delightfully dyspeptic today.

Back in the worst decade (heretofore) in human cultural life, the 1990s, smarmy parents and their toothachey kids started sporting these fat rubber bracelets emblazoned WWJD: What Would Jesus Do? It’s an attitude I wish more so-called Christians would embrace these days — especially the parts where He tells everyone to buy a sword, and beats the shit out of the moneylenders — but that’s not important right now. Rather, annoying though WWJD? was, it was a useful heuristic. If you’re not sure how to act in a given situation, you could do a lot worse than picking a figure you admire and running your options through that filter — what would Jesus do? Or Socrates or Marcus Aurelius or Julius Caesar or whomever.

Those readers on life’s back nine will no doubt recognize the above as “what that whole ‘Great Books’ thing was supposed to be about,” but again, that’s not important right now. The important thing is that our degenerate, illiterate, quick-fix culture did what Leftists always do to anything beautiful: Kill it, gut it, then dance around in its skin, demanding respect. Instead of wondering why a real person would act in a given way in a given situation — the original point, of course, of WWJD — we were instructed to simply ape their behaviors, and never mind the whys.

The Pressure Cooker

5th May 2021

ZMan looks at the economy.

Inflation is one of those things that everyone feels. Even if you are a rich guy, you notice that steak is more expensive. The money is meaningless to you, but the price hike does not go unnoticed. Poor people, of course, feel it straight away. As a result, everyone starts to notice things in the market, like the shrinkflation, for example. A pint of ice cream is 14-ounces now. The potato chip bag is much larger, but there are fewer chips inside the bag. This stuff gets more obvious in bad times.

The thing is, prices going up because of demand or shortages is an honest result that people may not like, but they can accept. Changing the shape of containers to make it look bigger, but reducing the contents is dishonest. It is a fraud. Inflation will bring new scrutiny to this practice that has become common. This sort of institutional fraud is everywhere, but it has gone unnoticed for decades. With inflation, people will start noticing and they will not like it.

Chauvin Trial Footnotes (3)

Scott Johnson at Powerline.

I have posted two previous editions of footnotes to our coverage of the trial of Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd. My purpose here is to provide background on the legal issues in the case for those who seek to understand them. If you are certain that the issues constitute nothing more than a smokescreen for a predetermined outcome, these footnotes are not for you.

Disunited States

5th May 2021

Read it.

More than 180 years ago, John Quincy Adams gave a speech to mark 50 years since the presidential inauguration of George Washington. “If the day should ever come, (may Heaven avert it) when the affections of the people of these states shall be alienated from each other; when the fraternal spirit shall give away to cold indifference, or collisions of interest shall fester into hatred,” he told a New York audience, “far better will it be for the people of the disunited states, to part in friendship from each other, than to be held together by constraint.” Collisions of interest festering into hatred? That sounds familiar. The Trump years were famously light on fraternal spirit and, as the divisions deepened, “parting in friendship” started to look awfully attractive to a growing number of Americans.

How Apportionment Defrauds American Citizens

5th May 2021

Read it.

The news that six states will gain seats in the House of Representatives and another seven will lose seats, thanks to new census numbers, was widely reported.

What was missed, though, is that the inclusion of noncitizens, including illegal aliens, in the population used to determine apportionment means that many Americans—and states—are being defrauded of their fair share of representation in Congress.

Nothing new here. The infamous ‘three-fifths rule’ in the original Constitution was the result of haggline between the slave states, who wanted to include noncitizen nonvoting black slaves for representation purposes, thereby increasing their clout in the House of Representatives, and the non-slave states, who wanted to count only citizens.

Death Should Not Be a Taxable Event — It’s Time to End the Estate Tax

5th May 2021

Read it.

For over 2 million family farms and ranches across the country and the tens of millions of small businesses, the threat of losing generations of their family’s work is a very real possibility. Every day family-owned farms and small businesses are forced to take out loans or sell off land, equipment, property, or — in the worst-case scenario — the entire business operation to pay the federal estate tax and cover attorney fees.

In addition, the death tax forces family businesses to waste money on expensive insurance policies and estate planning. These burdensome compliance costs make it even harder for and deter business owners from expanding their businesses and creating more jobs.

Ideally, the purpose of a tax is to raise revenue for the government. To0 often, it is used as a stick to beat politically unfashionable groups to satisfy the envy of the underclass clients of the ruling class.

From the Police Blotter: Angry Driver

4th May 2021

A deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office received an earful of, dare we say it, racial abuse during a traffic stop. The deputy purchased his own body cam to protect himself during his working day. A good thing he did because he had no way of knowing that he would meet the Teacher of the Year. She was Black, and the deputy was Hispanic.

He stopped a woman for using her cell phone while driving. She started to rant as only a self-absorbed, entitled person can rant. I know that people don’t care for these traffic violations, but if it’s a sin for an officer to enforce them, he paid for that sin by having to deal with ‘Little Ms. Sunshine’.

Biden Wants a Pragmatic Approach Towards North Korea. Why Not Leave Korea Altogether?

4th May 2021

Read it.

It is only fair to wish the administration well in its efforts. However, Biden officials are more likely to succeed if they correctly diagnose the problem. And while it is common to speak of North Korea’s “threat” to America, what precisely is the danger?

Although North Korean leaders have been commonly tagged as crazy, ready to launch a suicidal attack on America, only Kim Jong-un’s late father, Kim Jong-il, looked the part with oversize glasses, bouffant hair, and platform shoes. In fact, all three ruling Kims behaved rationally, playing a weak hand well, turning a small, impoverished, and isolated nation into a global cause celebre.

Is Wokery Starting to Wane?

4th May 2021

Read it.

More and more the woke pandemic afflicting our elites and causing them to mask their racism is reminding me of forced busing back in the late 1960s and early 1970s—a project to which liberals (and compliant federal judges) were fiercely dedicated (even as rich liberals sent their own kids to private schools), and which was hugely unpopular.

Then, as now, many Republicans spoke in subdued tones about their opposition to busing for fear of being called “racist,” and the most vocal and direct critics of busing were Democrats like Washington Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson. That kind of Democrat is long gone, of course, though you hear faint echoes from time to time, such as James Carville’s recent comments reported here that “wokeness is a problem, and everybody knows it.”

France Joins UK in Seeking Tighter Security Measures on Released Terrorists

3rd May 2021

Read it.

In light of recent Islamic terror attacks, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin is calling for stringent security measures to be placed on convicted terrorists being released from prison. If passed into law, a released terrorist could have his movement limited, including where he can live or what public events – such as concerts or sporting events – he would be barred from attending.

In 2015, ISIS members launched a series of coordinated shootings and bombings at a rock concert in the Bataclan theater and at a soccer match at Stade de France. Some of the perpetrators, like Salah Abdeslam and Abdelhamid Abaaoud, had been radicalized in prison.
