YES. AS I’VE NOTED, “DRILL, BABY, DRILL” IS THE UNDERLYING FACTOR IN TRUMP’S MIDEAST PEACE PLANS WORKING: Fracking Is America’s (Not So) Secret Weapon. “America’s shale revolution and ascension to the world’s largest oil and natural gas producer has made one fact abundantly clear: energy security is national security. No longer are geopolitical and national security decisions held hostage to the threat of energy price spikes. Because of oil from Texas and natural gas from Appalachia, Americans aren’t facing the energy supply shocks that were once guaranteed to follow rising Middle East tensions.”

WYLIE AND BALMER THOUGHT OF THIS NEARLY A CENTURY AGO: This Is Not the Way We Usually Imagine the World Will End: Stars passing close to the sun could cause planets to collide, including with Earth, or even be ejected as rogue planets, new simulations show. “The researchers found that 0.5 percent of their simulations resulted in planets colliding or a planet being ejected from the solar system. And the world most likely to be affected in such a cataclysm? “Mercury is the most vulnerable planet by far,” Dr. Raymond said.”

DIDDY FOUND GUILTY ON TWO PROSTITUTION CHARGES, NOT GUILTY ON EVERYTHING ELSE. I haven’t been following the case, but the press made it sound like a slam dunk. Maybe the evidence wasn’t really there? I dunno.
