The name of a Navy veteran may be cleared after he was convicted, fined, and imprisoned for digging ponds in a wooded area near his Montana home, to supply water in case of fire. The
Supreme Court has vacated a lower court ruling against Joe Robertson, who was sent to federal prison and ordered to pay $130,000 in restitution through deductions from his Social Security checks. Any definitive legal victory for Robertson would be posthumous, since he died March 18 at age 80. But his lawyers describe the Supreme Court’s action as a “big win” for Robertson’s widow, Carrie, who...

Meanwhile, it is clear to see that the still-to-be-completed “Revolution!” passed by Bernie Sanders a long time ago This Land Is Not Your Land, Bernie Sanders and neither is the 2020 presidency. In
1988, “His Worship”, a shirtless Bernie Sanders, then mayor of Burlington, Vermont, joined 10 other Vermonters in a beer-burp rendition of ‘This Land is Your Land’ in Yaroslavl, Soviet Union. According to Senator Lindsay Graham, Sanders “Went to the Soviet Union On His Honeymoon And I Don’t Think He Ever Came Back”.

(Image: © Joel Kowsky/NASA) ======================================== WASHINGTON — NASA really wants to land astronauts on the moon in 2028. But to do that, the agency is looking to commercial space companies to build the landers, space tugs and refueling stations required to make a moon exploration effort that lasts. "This time, when we go to the moon we're going to stay," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine told a roomful of space...

NASA may decide this year to land a drone on Saturn's moon Titan

| January 16, 2019 | Meghan Bartels, Space.com Senior Writer
The spacecraft that have peered through the yellowish haze surrounding Saturn's moon Titan discovered a strange, yet strangely familiar world where life could theoretically take root. Now,
scientists want to return — this time buoyed by Earth's fascination with drone technology. That's precisely what a team of scientists working on a proposed mission called Dragonfly want to do: combine terrestrial drone technology and instruments honed by Mars exploration to investigate the complex chemical reactions taking place on Saturn's largest moon. Later this year, NASA will need to decide between that mission and another finalist proposal, which would collect a sample...

This supersonic car is trying to smash the land speed record [reach 1,000 mph]

AccuWeather.com ^
| Nov, 2017
The Bloodhound Supersonic Car just completed its first public test, reaching 210 mph in eight seconds on a 1.7-mile airport runway in England. It’s powered by an engine usually found on combat aircraft, which gave it a 54,000-thrust horsepower. That’s
equal to the combined output of at least 360 family cars. Eventually, a rocket engine will be attached to the car, with the goal of smashing the current land speed record of 763 mph to hit the 1,000 mph milestone.

Why Afghanistan matters: The U.S. cannot let this battered land fall to terrorists

Chicago Tribune ^
| Aug. 21, 2017 | Editorial Board
There are places in the world so potentially volatile that the U.S. cannot leave them to the ebb and flow of geopolitics. The
Korean Peninsula and the Middle East come immediately to mind. Afghanistan also belongs on that list — something President Donald Trump has finally come to realize, seven months after taking office. The Los Angeles Times reports that Trump is poised to authorize sending roughly 4,000 more U.S. troops to the South Asian country, the site of the longest war in America's history. Like their countrymen already in Afghanistan, these Americans won't be a combat force. They'll carry...

..... Responding to Friday's anti-Israel resolution in the United Nations Security Council, Rabbi Ben-Dahan said, "I would like to bless you, that we will tell the nations of the world - precisely from the eternal capital of Israel - we did not conquer a foreign country, but this is our country and
we returned to it so that we would never leave it again. Whether the nations of the world want it or not, the land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel. This is our home."

"Thanking God for This Good Land" (Deuteronomy 8:1-10) Today is the Day of National Thanksgiving. This is the day set aside for Americans to go to their churches and give thanks to God for his many blessings on our nation--which is why we are here today. And
surely we have much to be thankful for, not least of which is this good land God has given us. So many natural resources, in such abundance! As we reflect on this, we are reminded of what Moses told the Israelites: "And you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land...

In Roman ruled Judea, Jewish zealots used daggers hidden in cloaks to kill their oppressors and were thus dubbed in Latin…”Sicarious”…or dagger men. Though
most of the killing in Denis Villeneuve’s latest master class in vexatious suspense is done with machine guns, there’s a climax building scene where cinematographer god Roger Deakins photographs the character Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) descending into the purple-hued darkness of a drug tunnel as he unsheathes a dagger that will make your skin scrawl. Alejandro is man of mysterious motives and origins who with the aid of another “DOD consultant” – an eager and smiley...

Mitch McConnell: This decision on gay marriage is the law of the land and there’s not much we can do

Via Newsmax, skip to 4:20 for the key part. He’s
not saying anything here that, say, Marco Rubio hasn’t but the McConnell endorsement surely cinches this among grassroots righties as the official RINO position. (Sorry, Marco!) Meekly submitting to the will of the Court isn’t what warriors do. Which raises the question: What should the GOP, as a party, do to resist?Should they encourage county clerks to refuse to issue marriage licenses to gays? That might work short-term, until other state officials can be found who’ll grant the licenses, but it’s likely to bring a lot of legal grief...

An Earth Day call to ban fracking across this land

Just say no, Obama. Flaming water, poisoned air and destroyed lives — that’s what I found when I traveled to Dimock, Pa., in 2009 to see the impacts of fracking firsthand. Six
years later, this tragic story is one shared by countless Americans, too many of them with no choice in the matter. Ten years after the Bush-Cheney administration exempted fracking from key parts of some of our nation’s most important environmental and public health laws, including the Safe Drinking Water Act, Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act, the science is finally catching up to the process — and...

Athra Kado had never shot a gun before, let alone seen a battlefield. Until
recently Kado, 25, spent his young career in a classroom, teaching high school students how to speak Syriac, his native language. But Kado is one of hundreds of Assyrian Christian men—many with no military experience—taking up arms to protect their towns from ISIS terrorists who invaded this part of Iraq early last year. “If we don’t have land to live, what’s the purpose of teaching a language?” Kado tells The Daily Signal in a Skype interview from a former U.S. military facility outside the city of...

Cruz predicts GOP will regain Senate this November during UH Sugar Land talk

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz made several predictions during his legislative update at the University of Houston’s Sugar Land campus last week. But
the perhaps the biggest made by the famously polarizing junior senator from Texas was that this fall’s election cycle will see the GOP regain control of the Senate from the Democratic Party for the first time since 2006. “I believe in November of this year, Republicans are going to retake the Senate and retire [U.S. Senator] Harry Reid as majority leader,” Cruz said to applause before a rapt crowd of around 60 supporters on Sept. 3. “I am...
