HYSTERIA IS THEIR GO-TO FOR EVERYTHING: The Media Dial Up the Hoplophobic Hysteria as the Supreme Court’s Bruen Decision Nears.

A PARTY IN DENIAL: Everybody except Democrats sees inflation as the big issue. “In fact, nearly every demographic group agreed that inflation is the most important issue. Men (39%), women (28%), white people (36%), black people (21%), Hispanic people (36%), youngsters (29%), millennials (41%), baby boomers (39%), seniors (26%), white college graduates (34%), and white non-college graduates (37%) all agreed that inflation is the most important issue facing the country right now. The one group that didn’t agree? Democrats. For them, abortion (18%) is the most important issue facing the country right now. Inflation is in second place at just 14%, just barely ahead of election laws (13%) and climate change (10%).”

PUBLIC CHOICE THEORY EXPLAINS ALL: “The idea of elite capture has been around for decades and typically describes how the most advantaged people in a group take control of benefits that are meant for everybody. Táíwò’s innovation is applying this idea to identity politics, the concept devised in 1977 by the Black radical feminists of the Combahee River Collective. He argues that their project has been hijacked. ‘We believe that the most profound and potentially most radical politics come directly out of our own identity,’ they wrote, because organizing around what was good for people at the bottom of social hierarchies would be good for all oppressed people. But rather than using personal identity as an entry point to building radical coalitions, as these innovators intended, elites are using it as a tool to advance their own narrow interests.”

Well, that’s what elites do.

SOMEHOW I HAD MISSED THIS EARLIER: Groundbreaking Knoxville researcher wins A.M. Turing award, ‘Nobel Prize’ of computer science.

A local computer scientist and professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville has been named an A.M. Turing Award winner by the Association for Computing Machinery.

The Turing Award is often referred to as the “Nobel Prize of computer science.” It carries a million dollar prize.

“Oh, it was a complete shock. I’m still recovering from it,” Jack Dongarra told Knox News with a warm laugh. “It’s nice to see the work being recognized in this way but it couldn’t have happened without the support and contribution of many people over time.”

Chances are Dongarra’s work has touched your life, even if you don’t know it. If you’ve ever used a speech recognition program or looked at a weather forecast, you’re using technology that relies on Dongarra’s software libraries.

Dongarra has held a joint appointment at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory since 1989. While he doesn’t have a household name, his foundational work in computer science has undergirded the development of high-performance computers over the course of his 40-year career. . . .

Dongarra developed software to allow computers to use multiple processors simultaneously, and this is basically how all computer systems work today. Your laptop has multiple processing cores and might have an additional graphics processing core. Many phones have multiple processing cores.

“He’s continually rethought how to exploit today’s computer architectures and done so very effectively,” said Nicholas Higham a Royal Society research professor of applied mathematics at the University of Manchester. “He’s come up with ideas so that we can get the very best out of these machines.”

Dongarra also developed software that allowed computers with different hardware and operating systems to run in parallel, networking distant machines as a single computation device. This lets people make more powerful computers out of many smaller devices which helped develop cloud computing, running high-end applications over the internet.

Most of Dongarra’s work was published open-source through a project called Netlib.

Congratulations!

THIS GUY IS A HERO: Navy Lt. Bill Mosely refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine, as ordered by his superiors, according to Just the News. He could have filed  a religious exemption request, or, having served 22 years, taken his retirement and left the military. Instead, he retained a lawyer and appealed through the chain of command to a Navy Separation Board.

The board, composed of three Navy officers, found unanimously that Mosely should be retained as a Naval officer. His attorney argued before the board that the order to take the vaccine was illegal and should not be enforced. Let us pray that Mosely is strong evidence the spirit of American independence remains alive and strong in the ranks of the U.S. military.
