A Trick Question: How Many Times Have Nuclear Weapons Been Used?
The debate over use of nuclear weapon is built upon the assumption that they‘ve only been used twice, both against Japan. However, if we expand the definition of use to how we apply it to other kinds of weapons, then nuclear weapons have been used too many times.

Why Was the Reservoir Supplying Pacific Palisades Empty?
There’s a funny scene in the film Smokey and the Bandit when Sheriff Buford T. Justice tells his son “Junior” to hand over his service revolver so that he can use it to shoot the fleeing Bandit’s tires. Junior obeys his father and hands over his pistol, but to Buford’s chagrin, the hammer falls on an empty chamber. When Buford asks why his son’s pistol isn’t loaded, Junior replies, “When I put bullets in it, daddy, it gets too heavy.” […]

Smith addresses one of the lingering questions: why did he not charge Trump with violating the federal insurrection statute (18 U.S.C. § 2383).

First, Smith explains that there was no clear definition under […]

Biden Ends Presidency How He Started It: Halting Oil Production
With two weeks left in office, President Joe Biden is ending his presidency the same way he started it: halting oil production. On Monday, he announced a ban on offshore oil and natural gas drilling in more than 625 million acres of federal waters—roughly as large as the land area of Alaska, Texas, and Montana combined. The order will not impact federal offshore drilling in most of the Gulf of Mexico, which accounts for about 15 percent of […]
