In winter, the canal in Ottawa was the world's frozen ice rink. But not this year.

Yeah, you could say I'm really on activated charcoal (bad cook).

As a philosopher of science, it is interesting to note that many economists and other social scientists appeal to a requirement that explanations, in order to be considered scientific, must be capable of “reducing an individual case to a general law.” As a fundamental principle, a general law is often invoked in the form of […]

Like Nazis stumping for him Meanwhile, he is still an ass: On Saturday and Sunday, a group of 15 to 20 protesters donned Nazi symbols and chanted antisemitic slurs along the North Alafaya Trail in Orlando. According to videos that quickly circulated across social media, the protesters gave Nazi salutes, yelled “White power!”, waved an anti-Biden banner and at one point got into a brawl with a driver. The protests have been met with disgust from Democrats and Republicans alike. However, DeSantis did not publicly condemn the marchers until Monday during a press conference, and then largely to deflect blame on to his political opponents. “So what I’m going to say is these people, these Democrats who are trying to use this as some type of political issue to try to smear me as if I had something to do with that, we’re not playing their game,” he said.

Bill Barr is a hack but he’s no longer a Trump hack, at least not in this case: Barr didn’t answer the question about Clinton but you will recall that he was the Attorney General during Trump’s term and he could have brought charges against her, and I have little doubt he would have if he thought they would stick. He knew they wouldn’t. Hopefully someone will press him on that since he seems very clear that Trump did commit crimes.

The Soviets were big on purging anyone who deviated from the party line (and quite a few who didn’t) and the Russia loving MAGA freedom fighters are doing the same. They are making their requirements clear and it now goes even beyond total fealty to Donald Trump: Republican delegates in North Carolina voted Saturday at their annual convention to censure Thom Tillis, the state’s senior U.S. senator, for backing LGBTQ+ rights, immigration and gun violence policies. As Sen. Tillis has gained influence in Congress for his willingness to work across the aisle, his record of supporting some key policies has raised concerns among some state Republicans that the senator has strayed from conservative values. Several delegates in Greensboro criticized Tillis, who has held his seat in the Senate since 2015, for his work last year on the Respect For Marriage Act, which enshrined protections for same-sex and interracial marriages in federal law. Both the state and national GOP platforms oppose same-sex marriage. But Tillis, who had opposed it earlier in his political career, was among the early supporters of the law who lobbied his GOP colleagues in Congress to vote in favor of it.

America’s War on Terror, launched in response to the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, has had a staggering impact on our world. The Costs of War Project at Brown University, which I helped found, paints as full a picture as possible of the toll of those “forever wars” both in human lives and in dollars. The wars, we estimate, have killed nearly one million people, including close to 400,000 civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan alone. Worse yet, they sickened or injured several times more than that — leading to illnesses and injuries that, we estimate, resulted in millions of non-battlefield deaths. And don’t forget that those figures include dead and wounded Americans,... Read more

No. You’ll note in the previous post that his former lawyer says that a president has two years to decide what to return to the National Archives. Even if that were true it doesn’t mean that he gets to hold on to classified nuclear secrets and war plans and show them to people. Come on.

Trump is going to get new lawyers so we don’t know what kind of defense they will put up. But one of his former lawyers, who quit last month, says they will claim prosecutorial misconduct and complain that the Presidential Records Act gives a former president two years to give back highly classified documents that he’s storing in a bathroom at his beach club. Seriously. Here’s Watergate prosecutor Michael Conway: Timothy Parlatore, an attorney who represented Trump until he resigned in May, recently predicted that Trump’s lawyers will file a motion to dismiss any indictment in the documents case based upon claims of prosecutorial misconduct. When defense lawyers level claims of illegal conduct by law enforcement to shift the focus away from their clients’ behavior, it can suggest the clients’ actions are increasingly indefensible. (The special counsel’s office declined to comment on Parlatore’s allegations.) That’s a sign of desperation. The alleged misconduct seemingly has at least two themes, at least according to Parlatore.
