Nancy Pelosi’s majority in the House of Representatives continues to shrink. The recent swearing-in of Republican Julia Letlow of Louisiana has taken the House Democrats’ majority down to 218–212. This means that Pelosi has a mere three-vote governing majority with which to push the Biden administration’s big-government agenda. The GOP will soon have another chance to reduce Pelosi’s margin for error when voters in New Mexico’s first congressional district (which includes Albuquerque and its environs) go to the polls to elect a replacement for Biden’s newly minted secretary of the Interior, Deb Haaland, a Democrat. *** *** The candidates to...

Earlier this year I lamented the inevitable death of Moore's Law - crushed between process node failures and exploits attacking execution efficiencies. Yet that top line failure of Moore's Law hides the fact that chips in general are now cheap. So cheap that the cost of making a device "smart" - whether that means, aware, intelligent, connected, or something else altogether – is now trivial. We're therefore quickly transitioning from the Death of Moore's Law into the era of Moore's Revenge - where pretty much every manufactured object has a chip in it.This is going to change the whole world,...

The theoretical physicist and author of 'Physics of the Future' talks about how nanotechnology will change our lives.Will the future bring us the teleportation devices of "Star Trek" or the sinister machines of "The Matrix"? Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku of the City College of New York says that many of the things that were once the domain of science fiction — cars that navigate rush-hour traffic on their own, wallpaper that can switch colors when you remodel, an elevator that takes you into outer space — are already here, or well on their way. His book "Physics of the Future,"...

University of California Regent John Moores, a frequent critic of his fellow board members, has resigned from the panel, the university announced today. Moores, a San Diego resident and chairman of the San Diego Padres baseball team, was appointed to the board by Gov. Gray Davis in 1999. His resignation is effective immediately, and no reason for his decision was immediately available. Following the departure of former Regent Ward Connerly in 2005, Moores became the main voice of dissent on many issues. He often showed exasperation during debates and votes. Moores, like Connerly, opposed affirmative action in college admissions. In...

If you were neglected as a child or if your parents paid more attention to your siblings, take heart. It might not be your fault. It might be because you're ugly. That's what Andrew Herrell's research at the University of Alberta suggests. Herrell, the director of the population research lab in the university's sociology department, studied parents' behaviour in grocery stores, where children often suffer minor injuries. He was trying to understand what factors contributed to those injuries. What he found would stun most fair-minded parents - ugly kids were neglected more often than attractive ones. "They'll deny it," said...

In Spain there are about 600 thousand Muslims; 6 thousand of these are converts. Islamic immigration started about 15 years ago. There are different Muslim communities and religious reference points. The most important are: the Association of Immigrant Moroccan workers, like a union, unlinked to religious groups; the CIE, Spanish Islamic Commission, an organ recognised by the government and integrated by FEERI, the Federation of Islamic Religious Entities and by UCIDE, the Union of Islamic Communities in Spain. In Spain there are 74 mosques and 139 associations. Just like in France, there are many garage-mosques, where violence is preached out...

Moore’s Fahrenheit 9-11 Offered on Direct TV as a Pay-Per-View

<p>Californians probably think racial preferences in college admissions ended in 1996 when voters approved Proposition 209. But John Moores, chairman of the Board of Regents of the University of California, says some UC administrators have been manipulating the system and defying the law for the past eight years. Last week Mr. Moores's fellow regents voted 8-6 to censure him for expressing these views in a recent Forbes magazine opinion piece. A medal is more like what the man deserves.</p>

HERE’S HOW IT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED There is a simple way we can still use our numbers to move THE TEN COMMANDMENTS back to the lobby of the Courthouse in Montgomery. Volunteers should be organized to appear in pairs in the lobby of the Court House in Montgomery day in and day out on a never ending basis. Volunteers will be armed with nothing more than a set of type written notes containing the words of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. It will be the job of volunteers to stand and recite the words ‘aloud’ from memory in shifts from the time...

This will be posted on the Bush Country.org website tomorrow. Please forward to Conservative/Christian supporters in Montgomery Alabama. How To Keep The 10 Commandments In Judge Moore's Montgomery Courtroom HERE’S HOW IT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED In the event the ‘ROCK’ is removed and it looks like it can not stay long, there is a simple way we can still use our numbers to keep THE TEN COMMANDMENTS from ever leaving the lobby of the Courthouse in Montgomery without raising a single hand to stop the physical removal of “Roy’s Rock”. Volunteers should be organized to appear in pairs in the...

In fiscal 2000 Peregrine reported losses of $18 million. Yesterday, the number was revised to $217 million. In fiscal 2001, the company claimed losses of $852 million. Now, Peregrine says that number was really $1.84 billion. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2002, Peregrine claimed losses of $677 million. Yesterday, it revised the number to show losses of $2.03 billion. Peregrine Systems has finally tallied up the extent of its massive accounting fraud. The San Diego software maker acknowledged yesterday that the scope of the fraud is more than twice as large as it reported last summer, shortly before...
