What I do not understand is why Congress and the courts are allowing this abuse of troops, in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act?

While judicial subpoenas have merit, it is because they issued by an impartial judiciary, and because they are over the defense of rights of others. A congressional subpoena has none of these merits since there is no constitutional basis, and they are declared by political hacks for selfish...

I am not sure, but I think the whole Epstein thing may be illegal. First of all it is over 20 years ago, and second is that it is not based on legal principles as much as sexual slander. It would still cost thousand for people to fly to DC, and it would still be a negative photo op. Since the...

I believe that also means ICE can not try to open car doors.

I believe Mideast religions were the main source of coercion and the resulting fear. But I have to wonder if there are natural mechanisms resulting from overpopulation?

Obviously Alan Turing was a superior individual so should have been awarded instead of punished. Part of the goal of sports competition is to select for the best genes. And the problem one has to figure out with people like him is how they can benefit the gene pool of the next generation, since...

Yes, the problem of wind and solar is inconsistency, and by using it instead to generate something easier to store than electricity then makes sense. If they used the wind and solar to create hydrogen, then you could use the hydrogen for kinetic energy, heat, or fresh water. I have to wonder if...

I do not remember all the details, but I think part of the problem was that where Blacks had been living was actually below sea-level, and should never have been zoned for human occupation. So then more modern standards would not allow them to rebuild. But then there also is the question of...

I suppose the wealthy had better policies, but they seemed much more satisfied with the payouts than the poor, who felt discriminated against and forced to leave.

Interesting, but fragile. In order to be able to use the pressure differential, they have to run a tube from down deep, up to the surface. It would have to hold up to currents, storms, winds, etc. The diffusion membrane will have to be able to withstand the pressure, and still will need frequent...

I only heard the rumor in Texas, so just now asked AI. Here is what the AI said: {... Yes, insurance did pay for the damage done by Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana. The estimated insured losses from Katrina were around $41 billion, with private insurers covering approximately $25.5 billion of...

Thousands had to leave Louisiana and move to Texas due to the fact insurance did not pay for fixing things.

First of all, when I post something inside brackets, {... ...}., that is a quote, not my text. I did not leave out hurricanes, the AI did. I was in Texas during Katrina, so I know insurance did not cover hurricanes like Katrina. Obviously makes no sense to consider health insurance as an annual...

First of all, most people are not told that insurance excludes "acts of god" and that most policies do not cover them. {... Acts of God are generally not covered by insurance policies unless the policy explicitly includes them. Here are some common exclusions found in insurance policies...

{... Two-time gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls narrowly won Saturday's Minnesota Republican Party Straw Poll. Why it matters: The results, along with campaign fundraising reports due in January, can signal which candidates have early momentum in a crowded field. State of play: Qualls, a...

No one else but the US declared a military intent in space like SDI. While the D stood for "defense", the US always claims "defense" like the "Defense Department" when to be accurate, it should be called the "Deliberate War Department". SDI obviously only had an offensive military intent. Even...

Ballistic missiles are not launched unless there is war and risks no longer matter. But putting weapons in space ahead of time, when there is no way, greatly increases the danger to everyone, because all objects in space are subject to things like micrometeorites that will eventually cause them...

The purpose of the ban on weapons in space was that weapons would put everyone at great risk. Whether it was nukes or conventional weapons, once you start to weaponize space, there are going to be accidents where dangerous objects are going to fall back to earth. The shuttle made no sense...

Ballistic missiles are not put into orbit and are not at risk of accidentally decaying and causing massive accidental harm. The goal of SDI was to illegally put nuclear weapons into orbit, and they would have greatly increased the risk of nuclear accidents.

SDI was illegal because it violated the treaty against installing weapons in space. {... October 10, 1967 Weapons were banned in space primarily through the Outer Space Treaty, which entered into force on October 10, 1967. This treaty prohibits the stationing of nuclear weapons or any other...
