Derek Chauvin is guilty on all counts: Did the justice system work or not?

It’s past time for everyone to decide what justice really means in America.  Do liberals still believe in impartial justice under the law?  Do they believe everyone should have their day in court?  Do they think a defendant is innocent until proven guilty?  Their reaction to the verdict is unclear, saying only that it’s not… Continue reading Derek Chauvin is guilty on all counts: Did the justice system work or not?

Is Maxine Waters an insurrectionist?

Chauvin is found guilty on all charges, but Democrats demanding justice keep amping up the violent rhetoric.  Fight?  More confrontational?  Demanding a verdict in an independent court case?  Defying local government orders?  Wasn’t this the kind of thing we called inciting an insurrection just a few short months ago? For obvious reasons, tensions surrounding the… Continue reading Is Maxine Waters an insurrectionist?

Coronavirus: Whatever happened to that third, fourth, or whatever wave?

The experts have been warning of impending doom for two months, even using the phrase, “impending doom,” but cases have remained remarkably stable.  Even the Neanderthals in Texas have seen their counts decline after they stopped wearing masks and had 40,000 spectators at a baseball game.  What’s going on and why won’t the experts like… Continue reading Coronavirus: Whatever happened to that third, fourth, or whatever wave?

You have the eye of a fish and the DNA of a Neanderthal, but what are you doing with that big brain?

It’s been a huge couple of weeks in evolutionary biology:  Three teams of scientists, studying three separate periods spanning 450 million years make surprising discoveries about our bodies, our culture, and our ancestors. The human eye is an amazing organ, the origins of which are ancient and shrouded in mystery.  Complex eyes, from people to… Continue reading You have the eye of a fish and the DNA of a Neanderthal, but what are you doing with that big brain?

Biden: Good luck and Godspeed finally getting us out of Afghanistan

President Biden announces a full pull out by September 11, 2021.  Technically, it’s a delay from Trump’s planned withdrawal on May 1, but either way all fair minded observers should hope he can succeed where both his predecessors failed and end one of the longest wars in US history. President Joe Biden and I finally… Continue reading Biden: Good luck and Godspeed finally getting us out of Afghanistan

Budget Reconciliation: No longer for budgets, and the more bills the merrier, whether or not they have anything to do with one another

The Senate Parliamentarian ruled this week that the Democrats can pass as many bills as they want, contravening 50 years of precedent and further eroding the basics of the English language.  Welcome to a world where infrastructure is no longer infrastructure, budgets are no longer budgets, and one bill per year could be an infinity… Continue reading Budget Reconciliation: No longer for budgets, and the more bills the merrier, whether or not they have anything to do with one another

Designing self-replicating cells one gene at a time and solving the mystery of the origins of life

Meet JCVI-syn3A, the world’s first self-reproducing synthetic organism.  This tiny little microbe was designed by trial and error in a lab and is capable of both maintaining its own internal structure and creating copies of itself, just like a real cell.  The implications for medicine and our understanding of ourselves are, needless to say, enormous.… Continue reading Designing self-replicating cells one gene at a time and solving the mystery of the origins of life
