A new report by the Bay Area Equity Atlas says 10 percent of the region's census tracts are segregated "areas of white wealth." The report, posted online July 27, analyzes all of the region's 1,572 U.S. Census tracts by race and income in order to quantify areas of high segregation.

Frederick Taylor's "scientific management" was all the rage when fascism and totalitarianism was on the rise in the 1920s–30s. It sounded good — people with pertinent knowledge and skills would occupy positions in logically designed organizations in which those qualities would be optimally employed. In practice, the most common quality of scientifically managed firms was intense dissatisfaction among their workers. That's mostly because, in reality, people's family, political connections, and willingness to "play ball" with the powerful and wealthy overshadowed everything else when it came to filling positions. That's why the purest expressions of scientific management — communist countries —...

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski has won the backing of several billionaire donors in her battle for a fourth term. Leading the pack is hedge fund tycoon Ken Griffin, one of seven moguls who have donated over $25,000 to help Murkowski stay in the Senate. Griffin sent $1.5 million to Alaskans for L.I.S.A., a super PAC that can accept unlimited donations. The group, founded by former Murkowski campaign staffers, claims the acronym in its name stands for “Leadership In a Strong Alaska,” but it only backs one candidate: Murkowski, and has spent $2.7 million on her behalf. In addition to Griffin,...

VIDEOEver since his ignominious downfall and resignation as New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo has been convinced that he will make a comeback, and now he says he’s ready. During a phone call into the Jimmy Dore Show, Cuomo insists not only that he’s back but also that a big part of the reason for his successful return will be the wildly popular phone calls he’s made into Jimmy’s show for the two “bulls” to talk to one another.

What’s happening in the nearly six-month-old Russo-Ukrainian war? It’s hard to say. Moscow expected a proverbial cakewalk and bungled its initial attack. After rebuffing Russia’s assault, the Zelensky government expanded its objectives, expressing its desire to reconquer portions of the Donbas seized by separatists with Russian support in 2014, as well as Crimea, which had been formally annexed by Moscow.In recent months, however, Russian forces have made slow progress in the Donbas and now occupy a fifth or more of Ukrainian territory. But Ukraine and its advocates have been threatening counteroffensives against Moscow’s supposedly overstretched forces. Conflicting claims have been...

The Costs of Catholic Silence as the World Looks for AnswersAs Michael Matt highlighted in a recent Remnant Underground, some of the most persuasive thinkers in the secular world (most notably, Tucker Carlson) have started to describe today’s mounting worldwide crisis in terms of a spiritual battle. Such realizations of themselves do not necessarily lead souls to the truth, but they provide opportunities for Catholics to help more people see that the only path out of this crisis is to embrace the immutable Catholic Faith.Any such efforts to lead souls to the Catholic Church must overcome the fact that most...

Actor Gary Busey is seen sitting with his pants down as he appears to perform a lewd act in a California park in broad daylight in photos published Sunday. Wearing a shirt that referenced the 1991 film “Point Break” in which he had a supporting role, Busey sat on the bench, pulled out his phone and then pulled down his pants. The Oscar-nominated actor “was spotted getting down and dirty at Point Dume Park in Malibu on Saturday afternoon,” Daily Mail reports. “Busey stuck one hand down the front of his pants, appeared to clench his jaw and then looked...

Rehashed Protestantism: Francis' Eucharist Represents "Last Supper”José Antonio Ureta, a member of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) published on OnePeterFive.com (August 12) a 16-pages study on “theological deviations” in Desiderio Desideravi, Francis' attack against the Mass (below).In DD, Francis refers the Eucharist to the Last Supper, rather than to Christ's sacrifice on Calvary. DD 4 even claims that the “same Supper will be made present in the celebration of the Eucharist until he returns again.” Ureta notices that this is warmed-over Protestantism.Francis then alleges that "every man and woman" should eat the Eucharist suggesting a theological indifference which fits with...

MADISON, Wis. — While monarch butterflies and bees have been making headlines, the world is losing more bugs of all kinds to habitat loss, invasive species, pesticide use, and more human causes. You may have noticed that, for example, if you’re slapping more mosquitos away lately. “I have noticed that I haven’t been bitten like I have not had as many mosquito bites this year,” Lisa Briggs, a garden coach from The Bruce Company, said. That may seem like a relief over the summer, but hate to clip your wings — “while a lot of people think that’s a great...

I have a DVD that was made on Mac equipment. It will not play on my PC w/Win 10. The gentleman who recorded it said to download MP4 converter to my computer. I did so. (VLC) I inserted the disc and got to where I selected the option for disc type. "DVD." No dice. I selected the other type that I think is the abbreviation for the Mac type? Anyway. The DVD is not playing with MP4 "converter" or the "player." Very hinky. What am I doing wrong?

Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin’s agreement late last month to back the disingenuously named Inflation Reduction Act came as a shock to Republicans and likely to members of his own party as well. Up until then, the West Virginia senator had been the one vote standing between the Democrats’ passage of needless and expensive climate change legislation and fiscal sanity. In order to secure Manchin’s vote, President Joe Biden and Democratic leaders promised to facilitate the approval of a gas pipeline in West Virginia. This would require passage of legislation that would “overhaul the permitting process for energy infrastructure,” according to...

Zion National Park officials have provided additional details regarding the flash flood that left one person missing Friday. Multiple hikers were reportedly swept off their feet by a flash flood in the Narrows near the Temple of Sinawava. Later in the evening, the National Park Service received a report of a hiker, who has been identified as Jetal Agnihotri of Tucson, Arizona, who was “overdue from a trip in the Narrows.” Officials say that during the initial response, park rangers found an injured hiker who had been swept downstream several hundred yards. That hiker was taken to the hospital in...

These new electric pickups are wonderful towing companions, aided by massive horsepower and torque that allow for easy merging with the flow of interstate traffic, and their heavy curb weights (between 6855 pounds for the F-150 and 9640 pounds for the Hummer) lend an impressive stability when lugging a three-ton trailer. But you won't want to be going far, as a full battery will take you a mere 100 miles in the Lightning, 110 miles in the R1T, and 140 miles in the Hummer. Although the Hummer consumes electricity at the highest rate of the three, its considerably larger battery...
