Unfortunately, everyone’s least favorite season is upon us—cold and flu season. It’s those few months where everyone around you is sniffling, coughing, or sneezing. Everywhere you turn, someone is fighting something and you’re on the defense to ensure you don’t catch what they are giving out. The problem with cold and flu season is that those pesky germs are invisible to the eye, and so unknowingly to you, you are allowing those germs to enter your body and temporarily take over leaving you feeling sick and miserable. As precautionary methods, you wash your hands more, cover your nose and mouth … Continue reading →

Car journalist were – once upon a time – car guys. They were not Safety Nags, indistinguishable from Ralph Nader or Joan Claybrook. Today, they are indistinguishable. Might as well be Ralph. Or Joan. Keith Crain, for example. He is the editor of Automotive News – which isn’t really. It would be more accurate to style it, Automotive Hate – because Crain doesn’t much like cars or driving them. He likes saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafety. And wants more of it to be mandated. Automated emergency braking, for instance. This is technology which uses radar or other proximity sensors to detect another car or object within the orbit of a vehicle; … Continue reading →

For most of us numeracy tests are a distant memory, so you may need to swot up before taking on this tricky quiz. The new test shared by Playbuzz challenges your knowledge of maths, and only a select few will make it to the end unaided. The quiz’s creator, Michael Rodgers, claims just three per cent of the population will be able to ace his test without the help of a calculator. The 15 sums include multiplication, subtraction, percentages and division – taking you straight back to childhood maths lessons. Think you’re smart enough to pass? Scroll down to take the test. … Continue reading →

This is a headline I’ve been waiting to write for six years.  German Chancellor Emeritus Angela Merkel can’t put a bad coalition together.  This is the result of an election that saw populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) rise and the Social Democrats, led by Soros-stooge Martin Schultz, fall. Now the Free Democrats (FDP), led by Christian Lidner, understand just how strong their position is.  They don’t have to make a bad deal with Merkel to get a seat at the table only to have to share it with the ideologically-opposite Greens.  They can force a re-vote, see their standing rise, along with … Continue reading →

Americans have been living in a country that has not known peace since 9/11, when President George W. Bush and his posse of neoconservatives delivered the message to the world that “you are either with us or against us.” The threat was coupled with flurry of hastily conceived legislation that opened the door to the unconstitutional “war on terror” carried out at the whim of the Chief Executive, a conflict which was from the start conceived of as a global military engagement without end. Bush and his handlers might not have realized it at the time but they were initiating … Continue reading →

A common feature of our time is the extent to which many in our nation have become preoccupied with diversity. But true diversity obsession, almost a mania, is found at our institutions of higher learning. Rather than have a knee-jerk response for or against diversity, I think we should ask just what is diversity and whether it’s a good thing. How do we tell whether a college, a department or another unit within a college is diverse or not? What exemptions from diversity are permitted? Seeing as college presidents and provosts are the main diversity pushers, we might start with … Continue reading →

Killer robots capable of using facial recognition before slaughtering people ‘will be devastating to humankind’, a top professor warned. Professor Stuart Russell, a leading artificial intelligence (AI) expert at the University of California, said allowing machines to kill humans would endanger freedom and security. He remarked on the chilling vision following an appearance at the end of a short film which explores how AI could be used to take out targeted individuals. The film, entitled Slaughterbots , shows a dystopian future where tiny drones are programmed to carry out mass killings. It was shown at a United Nations summit that heard stark … Continue reading →

In listening to Jordan Peterson over the last few months, he has often commented on the destructive philosophy of post-modernism, a philosophy that – in his view – is the force behind the cultural destruction underway in the west. Prior to hearing this from him, my knowledge on the matter went to the cultural Marxists of the Frankfurt School and, before this, Antonio Gramsci.  Peterson is aware of these influences, but for him the Post-Modernists are today’s driving force. What is meant by postmodernism? Postmodernism is difficult to define, because to define it would violate the postmodernist’s premise that no definite terms, boundaries, or absolute … Continue reading →
