[Western Journal] Two weeks ago, we heard the sad news that Lynette Hardaway, who was better known in conservative circles as Diamond in the popular pro-Trump duo "Diamond and Silk," had died suddenly in her Raeford, North Carolina, home at the age of 51.
Rochelle Richardson, known as Silk, was at her sister’s side during her passing. The cause of Hardaway’s death was not revealed at the time.

^ The connection between the two is obvious. That's why you don't come out and state it, eh?

Certainly we are beyond the null hypothesis of the vaccine not being related to the excess deaths. Someone has now invented a stroke season to account for our participation in a giant Agatha Christie plot. Eventually, the medical community will cease the ridiculous mambo dance and admit the correlation. Once that is done, we will progress through the obfuscations claiming that these random deaths are a smaller stack than what Covid would have killed if there was no vaccine. The current delay is that they have choired Baghdad Bob into a breathtakingly huge animatronic Pizza-Time Theater that is our social media.

[MedPageToday via Insty] I wanted to go back and ask OpenAI, what was that whole thing about costochondritis being made more likely by taking oral contraceptive pills? What's the evidence for that, please? Because I'd never heard of that. It's always possible there's something that I didn't see, or there's some bad study in the literature.
OpenAI came up with this study in the European Journal of Internal Medicine that was supposedly saying that. I went on Google and I couldn't find it. I went on PubMed and I couldn't find it. I asked OpenAI to give me a reference for that, and it spits out what looks like a reference. I look up that, and it's made up. That's not a real paper.
t took a real journal, the European Journal of Internal Medicine. It took the last names and first names, I think, of authors who have published in said journal. And it confabulated out of thin air a study that would apparently support this viewpoint.
[Federalist] It’s been a good year for classical Christian education. New school starts are up threefold, a book on classical education became No. 1 on The New York Times bestseller list, and on Jan. 26, Fox Nation will release season two of a popular series on classical Christian education, "The Miseducation of America." Of course, with growth comes attention. What is unusual this time is that someone with ties to our movement — one of our own — draws focus to a growing divide.
On Jan. 12, in the online journal Current, Jessica Hooten Wilson asked, "Is White Supremacy a Bug or a Feature of Classical Christian Education?" It should come as no surprise that, within her mainstream academic ecosphere as a scholar at Pepperdine University, she gets pressure. "I experience regular pushback from those who perceive [classical Christian education] as white, Western-only, and male-dominated." She proceeds to cast aspersions on a few people and organizations — including, indirectly, mine. Her accusations become a pretext for her thesis: "If the classical Christian school movement is to survive — let alone flourish — we must oppose all forms of racism and misogyny and stand with the beauty, goodness, and truth that we hold up for our students." I’ll take her up on that charge.
Hooten Wilson is a staccato note at the end of a new tune within our circles. Her article praises those groups she believes are taking the right steps. So far, I’ve heard no one publicly state the thesis so clearly as she does: "We should peruse the authors of the works and, if applicable, the editors or introductory writers to ensure an assortment of voices ... as well as an equality of both sexes. If we look at the table of contents of a textbook or a reading list for a semester and find not a single woman or person of color in that list, then that curriculum is misrepresenting the classical Christian tradition."

Huh? All the writers of Jewish texts were Jews — the Christian texts were written by Christians. Granted, some of the early Christians had previously been Jews, but when they came to believe that the Messiah was not a man but God incarnate they went out of Judaism into something new.
The engagement took place in Ironbottom Sound off Tassafaronga Point on Guadalcanal’s northern coast. A U.S. Navy task force attempted to surprise and destroy Japanese destroyers dispatched to resupply Japanese ground forces on Guadalcanal. Utilizing their still relatively new surface-search radar, the U.S. task force located the Japanese ships and sank an enemy destroyer. However, the other Japanese warships reacted quickly and fired numerous very effective Type 93 “Long Lance” torpedoes, sinking one U.S. cruiser and heavily damaging three others. The Japanese were able to escape, but also did not land their supplies and reinforcements, with deleterious effects for their forces on Guadalcanal.

The US Navy had a Wargame that the had developed in the years after WW1 to use as a training aide -- moving Real Ships in Real Life is expensive and, well, they can't actually fire Real Shells at each other in training. Back in the 90's I had a computer version that an ex-Navy officer had produced and in the foreword he stated: "The US Navy Wargame simulated everything in WW2 except for two weapon systems: 1) the kamikaze attacks and 2) the Type 93 "Long Lance" Torpedo..."

Magpie,
Is the computer version you're referring to Harpoon? Played that for several iterations until it kind of faded out about fifteen years ago. It's spiritual descendant (with a lot of the stillborn Harpoon IV in it) is COMMAND: Modern Operations...and it doesn't get any better than C:MO.

Mike, it was a small 'one man' operation called ...R.A.W. out of Dallas, TX IIRC. It had a purely text based interface back when floppies were being replaced by 1.44M microdisks.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
