The protest comes in the wake of a controversy that erupted Tuesday after footage emerged of Pelosi visiting a San Francisco salon mask-less, in violation of COVID-19 lockdown orders forbidding salons from being open.
On Wednesday, Pelosi blamed the salon for booking her hair appointment.
The incident culminated Thursday when White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany looped footage of Pelosi walking through the salon during a press briefing, followed by critical tweets from President Trump.

Moon Rust Puzzles Scientists

Ahead of a slew of new missions to Earth ’ s natural satellite , researchers have detected a bizarre and unexpected anomaly on the lunar surface : the airless , liquid water-free Moon is rusting .

It wasn’t until recently that Shuai Li of the University of Hawaii and his fellow researchers discovered signatures in the data matching the iron oxide, hematite, a form of rust that normally requires the presence of both oxygen and water.
“It’s very puzzling,” Li said. “The Moon is a terrible environment for hematite to form in.”
For iron to rust, it needs an oxidizer, but thanks to solar wind from the sun, the lunar surface is bombarded with hydrogen, the exact opposite of an oxidiser, known as a reducer, which adds electrons rather than taking them away from materials it interacts with.

The magnetotail might also explain why the hydrogen from the solar winds doesn’t prevent rust from forming: as the Moon passes through the magnetotail during certain parts of its orbit, it is temporarily shielded, providing a brief window for rust formation.

newswars--2020-09-03--Breakthrough narrows intelligent life search in Milky Way

An analytical breakthrough that could significantly improve our chances of finding extra-terrestrial life in our galaxy has been discovered by a team at The University of Manchester .
In new research published today in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society , the researchers demonstrate a reanalysis of existing data that represents a new milestone in the Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence ( SETI ) .
The collaborative research team has dramatically expanded the search for extra-terrestrial life from 1,400 stars to 280,000—increasing the number of stars analysed by a factor of more than 200 .
The result suggests that less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the potential of hosting advanced civilisations with the equivalent or slightly more advanced radio technology than 21st century humans .
As well as improving the limits for nearby stars , the team for the first time actually placed limits on more distant stars with the caveat that any potential lifeforms inhabiting the outer limits of the galaxy would need even more powerful transmitters in order to be detectable .
The analysis , say researchers , can only locate intelligent and technically advanced civilisations that use radio waves as a form of communication—they could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simple ” life or non-technical civilisations .
The team is made up of Masters student Bart Wlodarczyk-Sroka and his advisor Professor Michael Garrett at the University of Manchester in the UK , and Dr. Andrew Siemion , director of the Breakthrough Listen Initiative , have placed the best limits ever on the prevalence of artificial radio transmitters , dubbed techno-signatures , in the Milky Way .
Combing through the catalogue produced by the European Space Agency ’ s ( ESA ) Gaia spacecraft , which measured the distances to over a billion stars @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prevalence of transmitters around additional stars within the radio telescope ’ s fields of view .
By selecting stars out to much larger distances ( up to about 33,000 light years ) than the original sample of nearby stars , they were able to expand the number of stars studied from 1,327 to 288,315 .
Team leader Mike Garrett had always been troubled that SETI searches didn ’ t usually take into account the many other cosmic objects that fall within the range of sky a telescope is sensitive to , in addition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Garrett , Gaia has changed all that : “ Knowing the locations and distances to these additional sources , ” he says , “ greatly improves our ability to constrain the prevalence of extra-terrestrial intelligence in our own galaxy and beyond .
We expect future SETI surveys to also make good use of this approach.
” “ Our results help to put meaningful limits on the prevalence of transmitters comparable to what we ourselves can build using twenty first century technology , ” remarked Wlodarczyk-Sroka .
“ We now know that fewer than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 330 light years host transmitters just a few times more powerful than the strongest radar we have here on Earth .
Inhabited worlds with much more powerful transmitters than we can currently produce must be rarer still.
” The sheer number of stars studied enabled Wlodarczyk-Sroka to place some of the most stringent limits to date on the prevalence of powerful radio transmitters in this region of our galaxy .
In addition , for the first time , the team have been able to do this as a function of stellar type—the extended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of main-sequence stars , but also numerous giant stars and white dwarfs .

The collaborative research team has dramatically expanded the search for extra-terrestrial life from 1,400 stars to 280,000—increasing the number of stars analysed by a factor of more than 200.
The result suggests that less than 0.04% of stellar systems have the potential of hosting advanced civilisations with the equivalent or slightly more advanced radio technology than 21st century humans. As well as improving the limits for nearby stars, the team for the first time actually placed limits on more distant stars with the caveat that any potential lifeforms inhabiting the outer limits of the galaxy would need even more powerful transmitters in order to be detectable.

“Our results help to put meaningful limits on the prevalence of transmitters comparable to what we ourselves can build using twenty first century technology,” remarked Wlodarczyk-Sroka.

newswars--2020-09-03--The Failures of Federal Race-Based Paternalism

In an address to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in 1865 , Frederick Douglass noted that he had often been asked “ What should we do with the Negro ?
” Douglass remarked : I have had but one answer from the beginning .
Do nothing with us !
If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength , if they are worm eaten at the core , if they are early ripe and disposed to fall , let them fall….And if the Negro can not stand on his own legs , let him fall also .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a chance to stand on his own legs !
Let him alone !
Having been born into slavery , Douglass was a man who understood the failures of government policy quite well .
Moreover , the paternalism of the plantation was perhaps something he had no desire to recreate in the halls of government in postbellum America .
And Douglass has often been proven correct .
For example , we can note the strides African Americans made in creating self-sufficient communities before the Great Society .
Residing in an environment of rampant racism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American community attained phenomenal success in improving its social welfare .
From the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century , African Americans were pioneers in charting self-help societies .
“ The popularity of the fraternal society among African Americans rivaled , and often exceeded , that among immigrants , ” writes leading historian David T. Beito in his essay “ Mutual Aid for Social Welfare : The Case of American Fraternal Societies.
” “ Unlike their white counterparts , African American secret societies were more likely to offer formal life and sickness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In 1919 , the Illinois Health Insurance Commission estimated that 93.5 percent of the African American families in Chicago had at least one member with life insurance .
African Americans were the most highly insured ethnic group in the city.
” Some reformers automatically assume that more government programs can reduce poverty in African American communities .
Yet the evidence shows that such initiatives not only sap individual efforts but also crowd out nongovernmental actors necessary for fostering trust and social capital in communities .
Private welfare allows people to develop relationships @ @ @ @ @ @ @ networks that are often useful in other aspects of life such as business .
Furthermore , history informs us that even communities that are targets of racism can thrive provided that they have the freedom to act .
Professor Loren Schweninger has furnished a surplus of data chronicling the rise of African American entrepreneurs in the South during the late eighteenth century .
He sharply illustrates the success of African American entrepreneurs in an environment of hostile racism : Despite the anti-free black sentiment among some whites , free Negroes in the region @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In towns and cities , they became builders , mechanics , tradesmen , grocers , restaurateurs , tailors , merchants , and barbers .
Even during the American Revolution , a small group of skilled artisans and craftsmen had emerged in Charleston , South Carolina .
By the 1790s , several among them had built up thriving businesses , especially in the furniture and building trades .
Housebuilder and carpenter James Mitchell , who for many years lived above his shop , had become so prosperous by 1797 that he sought to rent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

In an address to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in 1865, Frederick Douglass noted that he had often been asked “What should we do with the Negro?” Douglass remarked:
I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall….And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!
Having been born into slavery, Douglass was a man who understood the failures of government policy quite well. Moreover, the paternalism of the plantation was perhaps something he had no desire to recreate in the halls of government in postbellum America.
And Douglass has often been proven correct. For example, we can note the strides African Americans made in creating self-sufficient communities before the Great Society. Residing in an environment of rampant racism and actual structural barriers, the African American community attained phenomenal success in improving its social welfare. From the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century, African Americans were pioneers in charting self-help societies. “The popularity of the fraternal society among African Americans rivaled, and often exceeded, that among immigrants,” writes leading historian David T. Beito in his essay “Mutual Aid for Social Welfare: The Case of American Fraternal Societies.” “Unlike their white counterparts, African American secret societies were more likely to offer formal life and sickness insurance as well as informal mutual aid. In 1919, the Illinois Health Insurance Commission estimated that 93.5 percent of the African American families in Chicago had at least one member with life insurance. African Americans were the most highly insured ethnic group in the city.”
Some reformers automatically assume that more government programs can reduce poverty in African American communities. Yet the evidence shows that such initiatives not only sap individual efforts but also crowd out nongovernmental actors necessary for fostering trust and social capital in communities. Private welfare allows people to develop relationships in their communities, thereby creating long-lasting networks that are often useful in other aspects of life such as business.
Furthermore, history informs us that even communities that are targets of racism can thrive provided that they have the freedom to act. Professor Loren Schweninger has furnished a surplus of data chronicling the rise of African American entrepreneurs in the South during the late eighteenth century. He sharply illustrates the success of African American entrepreneurs in an environment of hostile racism:
Despite the anti-free black sentiment among some whites, free Negroes in the region entered a variety of business pursuits. In towns and cities, they became builders, mechanics, tradesmen, grocers, restaurateurs, tailors, merchants, and barbers. Even during the American Revolution, a small group of skilled artisans and craftsmen had emerged in Charleston, South Carolina. By the 1790s, several among them had built up thriving businesses, especially in the furniture and building trades. Housebuilder and carpenter James Mitchell, who for many years lived above his shop, had become so prosperous by 1797 that he sought to rent a six-room house with stables and outbuildings.
Even in the presence of deep-seated racism, African Americans have historically been quite capable of functioning on their own, as noted by economist Thomas Sowell in his book Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality? Sowell argues that economic advancement for blacks was impressive during the 1940s, and the number of blacks in high-level professions more than doubled during 1954–64, well before the peak years of the civil rights movement.
Today, however, a major impediment to economic empowerment in the black community remains occupational licensing. Matthew D. Mitchell of the Mercatus Center reports that “the licensing of barbers reduces the probability of a black individual working as a barber by 17.3 percent.” States like Florida and Pennsylvania have successfully embarked on major reforms to reduce the impact of occupational licensing requirements on employment prospects. Similarly, supporting educational freedom by promoting school choice in the form of charter schools, for example, is a proven strategy to boost the performance of African American students. Studies show that African American charter school students outperform their peers in the public school system, but these schools are consistently berated by leftists as agencies of racism.
While the Left consistently believes itself to be the friend of the downtrodden, the fact is that the Left more often than not supports policies that hinder countless Americans of all backgrounds in attaining economic success for themselves and their families.

newswars--2020-09-03--It’s Not “Just Property”: How Looting Destroys Lives and Low-Income Neighborhoods

It ’ s now become fashionable on the Left to defend looting as a means of redistributing wealth from allegedly unworthy business owners to the more-deserving looters themselves .
“ It ’ s just property !
” is the refrain , with the implication being that property owners should not defend their property with coercive means—such as calling in the police or using privately-owned weapons against looters .
This is the philosophy behind a recent declaration from a Black Lives Matter organizer .
As the New York Post reported on August 11 : “ I don ’ t care if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s or a Macy ’ s or a Nike because that makes sure that that person eats .
That makes sure that that person has clothes , ” [ BLM organizer ] Ariel Atkins said at a rally outside the South Loop police station Monday , local outlets reported .

A more full apologia for looting now comes in the form of a new book titled In Defense of Looting by Vicky Osterweil , who identifies herself as “ a writer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Philadelphia.

It points to the way in which that ’ s unjust .
And the reason that the world is organized that way , obviously , is for the profit of the people who own the stores and the factories .

Big words like “ commodify ” and “ oppression ” might strike beginner-level dissidents as impressive .
But once we start to look at the real-world details of how looting works , we quickly find that looting your local auto parts store or Nike outlet isn ’ t going to bring down Wall Street hedge funders any time soon .

Moreover, once the smoke has cleared, we’ll find that low-income neighborhoods will suffer the most.
Specifically, there are three reasons why looting will only serve to hurt exactly the ordinary people for whom pro-looting advocates pretend to be champions.
One: Regular People Work at Looted Businesses
Retail stores provide jobs to ordinary working people, including those who lack formal education. What’s more, these jobs are often desirable jobs, offering a workplace that’s air conditioned, clean, and far safer that more dangerous jobs like driving a bus or working construction. This is especially true of high-end retail shops. But selling handbags and gadgets to rich clients doesn’t make the salesperson wealthy, even if it can provide a decent living.
When looters destroy these stores and remove their merchandise, among those most impacted are the ordinary staff members. Without any merchandise there’s nothing to sell. And with nothing to sell there’s no revenue that can be used to support a wage for the sales staff.
Looters may pat themselves on the back for “liberating” these workers from their “wage slavery,” but it’s unlikely the newly unemployed workers see things this way when they show up in the morning and find their place of employment torched and ransacked.
Two: Looting Victimizes Immigrant Families and Others Who Aren’t Exactly Members of the Ruling Class
Although many news stories about looting in recent weeks have focused on looting of high-end retail outlets in places like Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, the fact is looting more often occurs in neighborhoods where residents are working class or low-income.
And in these neighborhoods, the owners of the local shops and small businesses tend to be immigrant families and other ordinary small-time entrepreneurs who are hardly members of the Wall Street elite. According to a report on entrepreneurship in low-income areas by the Small Business Administration, self-employed workers in low-income areas are “less likely to be U.S. citizens and English speakers” relative to other areas, and have less formal education. Higher proportions of the self-employed are black and Hispanic relative to other areas, as well. Moreover, “The vast majority of self-employed workers in low-income areas operate a business in their area of residence.” These business owners tend to face hardship themselves. Part of the reason they live and work in a low-income neighborhood is because they have relatively less access to working capital and business loans than people in higher-income neighborhoods.
Lower-income neighborhoods are not entirely without advantages. Competition is often less robust in lower-income neighborhoods, as many larger firms prefer to not take on the added risk of placing their offices and stores in these areas. This leaves more room for smaller independent firms where owners are more willing to take on the risk in exchange for lower rents, and lower up-front operating costs. The downside comes from the higher potential for crime, including robberies, looting, and vandalism. But because they have few other choices, many entrepreneurs in these areas choose to take their chances. When they are successful, they bring to their neighborhoods more employment, and greater access to goods and services for residents.
But it is precisely these immigrant-owned, minority-owned and family businesses that tend to be most victimized by looters.
Three: Looting Hurts Low-Income Neighborhoods the Most
Naturally, at the level of the independent business, looting can be disastrous for a business owners. The notion that looting is “no big deal” because businesses often have insurance is tone deaf to the point of being laughable. Most businesses in lower-income areas can barely afford the premiums necessary to cover the replacement value of their businesses — if they can afford it at all. Many businesses are under-insured. Nor is the recovery process effortless. Months after businesses were torched in Minneapolis’ riots, “Just 20% of all riot-related insurance claims have been paid so far.” Moreover, insurance premiums are higher in areas where there is high risk of crime and looting. Now, premiums will be even higher following the latest round of riots and looting.
This, is why businesses often tend to shut down and leave riot-affected neighborhoods after being looted. Insurance doesn’t just make a business owner’s problems go away. Looting and rioting also signals to other businesses to stay away.
Over time, this means fewer businesses, fewer employers, and more urban blight. It’s why after the 1977 blackout and looting in New York City countless businesses packed up shop and never returned. These areas remained economically depressed for decades afterward.
Put another way, looting and riots lead to “divestment” in lower-income neighborhoods.
Needless to say, looting doesn’t help the situation. And it only makes poverty worse for those who think they’re liberating themselves and others by ripping off iPhones and athletic shoes.
This goes beyond just the neighborhood level as well. The recent looting in Chicago—even the looting in posh business districts—only serves to cut city-wide tax revenues:
“This downtown base of residents and business generates almost $2 billion for the City of Chicago,” [Magnificent Mile Association spokesman Adam] Skaf said. “If those types of retailers leave in the future, that leaves a huge hole in our tax base downtown and that affects the whole city.”
Those business don’t need to have locations in Chicago. There are plenty of other markets in America where looting is much more rare or even non-existent. So, many business may simply leave, and this means less tax revenue for spending on infrastructure, public transportation, and social services. In other words, it means less spending on just the sorts of programs and amenities that defenders of looting tend to want.
No, looting stores is not something about which we just shrug our shoulders and say “golly gee, it’s just property. No one got hurt. Lighten up!” Looting hurts lots of people: especially the poor, and especially those who do the most to bring capital, employment, and prosperity to lower-income neighborhoods.

Washington has slapped Tehran with multiple rounds of crippling energy , financial and banking sanctions over the past two years after unilaterally withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal , and has also targeted other countries doing business with the Islamic Republic with secondary restrictions .
The US Treasury ’ s Office of Foreign Assets Control has announced sanctions against six entities doing business with Triliance Petrochemical Co. , a Hong Kong-based broker with branches in Iran , the United Arab Emirates , China and Germany .

” Iran has repeatedly blasted the United States for its sanctions and efforts to bring the oil-rich country ’ s energy exports down “ to zero , ” accusing Washington of harming ordinary Iranians and stressing that its secondary sanctions are a form of pressure that ’ s illegal under international law .
Last month , a US effort to introduce snapback sanctions against Tehran using the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nuclear deal backfired on Washington , with 13 of the Security Council ’ s 15 members , as well as its president , indicating that the US could not reimpose the sanctions , since it withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018 .
The US has also failed to drum up support at the UN for its desire to extend the international arms embargo against Iran indefinitely , with the restrictions , introduced in 2010 , to be lifted in October , in accordance with the nuclear deal resolution , which promised their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s signature .
Iran has repeatedly criticized the nuclear deal ’ s European signatories for failing to come up with an effective trade mechanism to evade US restrictions , with EU-Iranian trade , which began to flourish after 2015 , declining significantly after 2018 amid fears among European nations and companies of being targeted by secondary US sanctions .
The Islamic Republic ’ s move earlier this year to increase bilateral trade in oil , food , medical supplies and other goods with Venezuela has raised Washington ’ s ire , with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro even suggesting last week that Caracas may consider the purchase of Iranian missile systems , which proved their capabilities with the shootdown of a $ 220 million US stealth drone over the Strait of Hormuz in June 2019 .

Wrestler Hulk Hogan claims that his friend received a mail-in ballot addressed to his pet dog .
“ Crazy stuff , a friend of mine just got a mail in ballot for his dog Nugget ?
Now even dogs can vote !
” tweeted Hogan .
President Trump has repeatedly stressed the danger that the mail-in ballot system could be abused for vote fraud , but the media has characterized his concerns as a baseless conspiracy theory .
“ Many were sent to dead people…I guess 2,3,4 were sent to dogs .
One was sent to a cat .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Trump said last month .
Boing Boing reacted to the statement by asserting Trump was “ lying again ” .
Far-left news site Salon also claimed that Trump had made the claim “ without evidence.
” The New York Times also characterized Trump ’ s assertions about mail-in ballot fraud as “ baseless.
” However , if Hogan is accurate in what he tweeted , it really does appear that some people are abusing the system .
