The popular science communicator Hank Green published a YouTube video titled “A Masterclass in Manipulation,” responding to a Reason video I made about misleading climate charts. His video is better-than-average political discourse. He’s generous with the material, playing long uncut segments from my video instead of soundbites. He teaches his audience real things about how to read charts and spot a rhetorical sleight of hand, and along the way, he demonstrates something worth saying out loud: Two people can look at the same data and reach different conclusions without either of them being a fraud.  His video uses the same…

Joshua Scheer Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman has delivered a rare rupture in official Washington’s script: accusing Israel of carrying out a genocide in Gaza—and acknowledging that the United States is not a bystander, but a participant in its outcome.

In the American tradition – legal and cultural – only those who commit violence are culpable, not those who express views that align with its perpetrators. Source link

Two days after an armed man tried to enter the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt cited rhetoric from Democrats that she said is “inspiring violence” against President Donald Trump and other Republicans.

On April 25, security prevented…

Lindsey Graham (R–S.C.) is now throwing that commitment out the window and asking Congress to appropriate $400 million in public funds for the construction project. “America has a problem, and we intend to fix it,” said Graham. “This is not about Trump.

Joshua Scheer A rare critique has emerged from within Israel’s own security establishment. Former Mossad chief Tamir Pardo—a veteran intelligence figure who once helped shape the country’s most sensitive operations—has…

(Continued from Part 6. This concludes the article.) Evaluating Families to Find Like-Minded People Daily, I am reminded of how bad it is out there, based on the information that I am analyzing. People often ask me “How long do we have?” If you understand history, economics, threat analysis, and have three generations of preparedness expertise in your wheelhouse, then you know the lateness of the hour. As for my situation, I hope it is long enough to be able to get married and to get the supplies my future spouse and her family need. I have a lot of supplies…
