The Electoral College Is Brilliant
The progressives are determined to get rid of the Electoral College. Of course they are. Abolishing the Electoral College would complete their project of overthrowing America's unique federal system, begun about one hundred years ago.

The bail for an Arizona man who is accused of threatening to shoot up schools in Coulee City has been decreased by over $100,000. Benjamin VanTassell, 39, of Flagstaff, Ariz., is currently charged in Grant County Superior Court with threats to bomb or injure property and attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle. In March Grant County Superior Court Judge John Antosz set VanTassell’s bail at $125,000. Following an agreed recommendation between Deputy Prosecutor Mark Laiminger and defense attorney Rafael Gonzales, Grant County Superior Court Judge John Knodell decreased VanTassell’s bail last week from $125,000 to $20,000 cash or bond.

The Accidental Genius of the Electoral College
In response to Donald Trump's presidential victory, many people have called to abolish the electoral college and have the presidency decided by a popular vote, including several hundred thousand MoveOn.org petitioners. In contrast, I support the electoral college. Though I would find unobjectionable changes in the way the electoral college is calculated, I generally approve of the electoral college because it is one of the Constitution’s accidentally great procedural features for deterring the concentration of political power and the resulting abuses of such concentration.

DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO SUPREME COURT DECISIONS?
At the Liberty Law site, I have a post on the absence of any Protestant Christians on the current Supreme Court. In historical terms, this is a striking anomaly: Most of the 112 men and women who have sat on the Court have been Protestant Christians. What explains this, and does it make a difference for American law?

Bernie Sanders Could Replace President Trump With Little-Known Loophole
Actually, no we can’t. There is no loophole that allows a random person to assume the office of president. That’s pretty basic common sense but yet you clicked or even shared this article anyway. Now that right there is the real point of this post. Our social media sites have been flooded with misinformation in the past few months. While this has always been a problem, it now appears to have exploded over this election season. We are seeing post after post stating just plain illogical things and this is not a problem unique to any one side.

Over the course of the past decade, Brown Midrib, or BMR forages have become widely familiar as the elite of summer annual forages. The “cream of the crop,” these corn hybrids, sorghums, and pearl millets are distinguished by a genetic makeup that reduces their lignin content and can be visually evident as a light to dark brown tint in the stalk and leaf midrib. The BMR characteristic is actually caused by a natural genetic mutation that was discovered in the 1920s, which has the effect of increasing whole-plant fiber digestibility.
Producers often overlook replacement heifer development plans with the implementation of these plans happening soon after weaning. Producers that have not evaluated the cow costs or heifer development costs may not be using the best replacement method for their operation. Just because heifers have been kept in the past, it does not mean they need to be kept every year.

Odds and Ends: Three Election Outcomes You Probably Haven't Heard Much About
Remember the Oregon Democrat Who Fined a Christian Bakery $144,000? He Lost. In Colorado, voters absolutely demolished a ballot initiative to create a government-run, single-payer healthcare system for the state. And in Louisiana, white supremacist David Duke's US Senate run ended in abject, deserved embarrassment. The state's conservative electorate relegated Duke to a seventh-place finish, delivering him a rounding-error pittance of votes.

Pentagon Officials Told Russians ‘No Evidence’ U.S. Korean War POWs Taken to Soviet Union
Pentagon officials leading efforts to recover missing American service members told their Russian counterparts in May there is no evidence that U.S. prisoners of the Korean War were brought into the Soviet Union, dismissing intelligence reports and eyewitness testimony compiled over the last two decades. American officials made the claim during a May meeting of the U.S.-Russia Joint Commission on POW/MIAs, and experts say it could undermine the Defense Department’s efforts to recover further information about the more than 7,800 military personnel still unaccounted for from the Korean War of the 1950s.
