A Positive Step From the Trump Administration

By -

Scientific American Research scientists are upset because the Trump Administration wants to impose some accountability into the federal research grant system after millions died and the world economy lost trillions because of Dr. Fauci's Wuhan China lab created COVID and released it and after Dr. Fauci tortured thousands of beagles (that lab was closed last year) Dr. Fauci's beagle experiments. Note the closed shades. To quote a WCW report: The lab pumped pneumonia-causing bacteria into over 2,000 beagles' lungs, inducted septic shock and bled them out.  Was Dr. Fauci accountable? Yes, to another scientist.  In my opinion, an ordinary politician would be far more likely to shout STOP! at this type of Josef Mengele-type barbarous, cruel behavior done with our tax dollars  than the "go along to get along" world of science.  Consider: we haven't been able to get a National Disaster Review Board because the National Weather Service used to claim its lame Servic...

More National Weather Service Issues

By -

The red symbols are radars that are currently out of service. KDDC (Dodge City) and KICT (Wichita) are the NWS's radars. They have been out since 5:45 this morning. TICH (FAA weather radar) has been out of service the past few days.  The problem is per the 3pm outlook from the NWS Storm Prediction Center, there is a small risk of small risk of severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and large hail (dark green) in areas those radars are supposed to cover.  Thundersrtorms are likely  across their storm warning coverage areas tonight. The NWS says there is the potential for as much as 4" of rain in a small part of Kansas.  These radars are essential for storm warnings, emergency management, water management, and agriculture...not to mention aviation.  The radars fail at ever-increasing rates yet the NWS is not planning to field replacements until 2040 .  We desperately  need a NWS and NOAA with a sense of urgency and a National Disaster Review Board to h...

A Slice of History: 1957 Movie News

By -
Image
Before television news, many Americans received their visual news through weekly updates shown along with cartoons and coming attractions in movie theatres. Tuesday evening, the above edition of movie news from late May, 1957, appeared in my YouTube recommendations. The story included the May 20th Ruskin Heights Tornado in south Kansas City. It was the single most important event of my life: It determined my career and had a significant influence on finding the wonderful woman I married.  However, even for 1957, there are some aspects of this "news" report worth commending on: "No warning." Not only is it wrong, this is especially ironic since this was the first tornado for which the federal government's Weather Bureau actually attempt to warn and they did a nice job .  "Unpredicted and unpredictable change in weather patterns." The tornado watches (there were two) for the path of the tornado were excellent.  Movie news was referring to the 1950's ...

Vote YES on Electing Judges in Kansas

By -

- --- This post is for Kansas voters ---- Fact: Kansas is the only state with our undemocratic system for electing judges. The NO forces are the usual extreme groups like Planned Parenthood, ACLU, the "Bull Attorneys," and other television lawyers, et cetera.  They now control who gets on the Supreme Court regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican is elected governor.  I personally dislike politics and, unless it is climate change or a political issue related to science, I generally keep it out of the blog. I am making an exception that pertains to the judicial issue on the Kansas August 4 ballot. It is vital to the future of our state.  Vote YES on electing judges. The current system is a scam  that is rigged to keep the Kansas Supreme Court (KSC) liberal regardless of the wishes of Kansas voters.  Here's how the scam works: Under the current Kansas Constitution, the extremely liberal bar association nominates three people when an opening occurs on t...
