    [Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson of SCOTUS has confirmed that her career advancements have been based on ‘Section 8’ promotions.  Her dissent from last week's ruling against racial preferences in college admissions demonstrates both her gullibility and overall ignorance (terminally innumerate).  In there she argues for benefits of diversity in education, and presents a preposterous example…

    [Public service information – The most recent edition of modern strategy makers was just published.  The New Makers of Modern Strategy (2023, Princeton University Press) follows the second edition (1986) of collected writings on transnational strategies that was launched with its first edition in 1943.  The collected essays by history’s notables range in time from…

    [So now outfits that collect and search internet content want to start charging AI companies that make chatbots for the data they use to train their LLMs.  Companies like Google and Amazon get this data for ‘free’ – actually, what it costs them to scrape it from the web – as it is provided also…

    [In updating the government’s butt stupid department, we witnessed today a major speech by SecTreas Janet Yellen assuring the Red Chinese that that US has no intention in surpassing them in international trade and economic progress, let alone outcompeting them in military matters.  Then for what in hell are these people getting paid??  gjr]

    [Good news department.  It turns out that if you drink both modestly and regularly, then all kinds of health benefits can accrue to you.  For most men that means no more than two drinks (wine, beer, whiskey) a day, and no more than one drink a day for women – a drink contains about 12-14…

    [Happy Spring!  If Trump is indicted and his trial starts going badly toward conviction, would that induce other Repubs not to throw their hats in the ring?  If so, Trump would be the hands down favorite for Republican nominee.  So if the Dems really want to run against Trump, would they not, as a tactic,…

    [Here's an interesting backlash from the more conservative faction of our nation's youth reacting to the nation's woke tsunami. (here) "'Asbury Revival' marathon worship enters 10th day, similar services grow on other college campuse."  And then take a look at what is happening with the recertification kerfuffle of the University of North Caroling, Chapel Hill…
