Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- AI will lead to more jobs not fewer.
- Our schools need freedom of expression. Agree - but also feel students should have to pass a US citizenship test to get a degree. They are still citizens but they don't get that degree unless they pass the test.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- How the Saab-32 fighter sent a big message to the F-35. When it comes to having supply chain independence or long range strike capability - it's hard to argue they're wrong.
- Interesting point by Douglas Murray and clarification by Powerline. But let's not lose fact of the real point that illegal immigration is being used as a weapon.
- Jonathan Turley on Amy Klobuchar's embarrassing demonstration of confirmation bias.
- Interesting - defibrillator drones? I like this idea.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Why a Value Added Tax is the wrong fit for the US. I tend to agree.
- The X-Bat looks pretty cool.
- President Trump's tariffs vs the Supreme Court's duties. Think that tariffs are part of trade deals with foreign nations and are reciprocal are the key. The Constitution only gives the President power to negotiate foreign agreements. Plus the exploding national debt can be termed an emergency.
- 'People are tired:' Democrats splinter as shutdown nears record. Don't think they thought through the optics of not wanting to reopen the government because Senators may not want to work through the Christmas holidays.

- Why we need the Office of Crisis Identification now more than ever.
- From the archives: Karl Popper and the line between science and pseudoscience.
- The effectual truth about AI chatbot. (HT Steve Layman)
- Have drones made traditional warfare obsolete? The US Civil War provided lessons to European nations about the birth of trench warfare and the astronomical number of killed and wounded in battle modern warfare inflicts but they did not learn - so we got WW I. Are nations likewise dismissing lessons being taught in the Ukraine war?

- VDH on Trump's Inaugural Address.
- From the archives: Mystic chords of memory - learning from the American story. I'm glad I revisited this.
- Austin Vernon: Imagining the drone Air Force. I keep thinking of the damage a drone A-10 Warthog could bring. Long but worthwhile article.

Many a truth is said in jest.
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- This seems like a cool product.
- The F-35 and the Gods of Copybook Headings. The more you learn about the F-35 the more I like the A-10 Warthog and hope they keep making those.
