Junking-up science!-----Why duplicate publications matter: A retraction notice goes above and beyond
Why duplicate publications matter: A retraction notice goes above and beyond
"Here’s a retraction notice after our own hearts.
Brain Research Bulletin, an Elsevier journal, has retracted a 2017 article which duplicated a substantial amount of previously published papers by some of the same authors.
But unlike many journals, which merely point out the overlap, BRB explains to readers why the copying matters...
That wording was arrived at after confirming that the authors had misled our Journal, and working with Elsevier (the Publisher) to stress the impact of scientific misconduct when submitting the same work to more than one Journal for publication.
"Redundant publications jeopardize the integrity of the scientific literature.
They overweigh the relative importance of published findings and distort the academic record of the authors. All authors agree with this retraction."..Read all.

How Our Next President's Energy Policies Will Shape America's Future | Climate Dispatch
"...Our next president’s energy policies will shape America’s future.
Biden’s vision of expensive, scarce, and government-controlled energy – energy dependent on the whims of weather, and about as reliable as Obamacare is affordable – would spell disaster for the United States.
...Biden touts the progressive dream of 100% renewable energy, but he’s all but admitted that it’s not achievable – and he’s right.
- First, wind and solar remain too unreliable to serve as anything other than a supplementary power source.
- Even if it were feasible, a nationwide transition to all-renewable power would have a minuscule effect on global temperatures.
- If every clause of the Green New Deal became law today – from banning fossil fuels to retrofitting or tearing down every building in America – global temperatures would drop by less than two-tenths of a degree by 2100.
- And it’s an open question as to whether wind and solar power could ever live up to their “net-zero” hype, anyway – not only because of the massive amounts of fossil-fuel energy required to manufacture and ship their components but
- also because of the carbon dioxide that wind and solar farms generate by warming the soil beneath them...Read all.

CDC: People with Covid-19 Should Quarantine Unless You Want to Vote in Person
"So forget everything you have been told thus far as the CDC has changed their stance again when it comes to Covid-19.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, you are now allowed to be around a large gathering of people, who you may be in line with for up to 2 hours in order to vote, while you are infected with Covid-19.
“Voters have the right to vote, regardless of whether they are sick or in quarantine,” the CDC wrote on its website...Read all.

State Health Department Invites Snitching On Local Business Non-Compliance With Epidemic Rules
The Michigan Department of Health & Human Services is asking residents to report the names of businesses that violate the more restrictive epidemic response policies ordered Oct. 29.

Violations are subject to $1,000 fine...Read all.
From the web-- "Scary times".
"My thoughts this morning.
Republicans have gone along to get along but I am not sure if they will do it this time if the Democrats manage to take the election in overtime voting and manufacturing of votes.
- Six states Trump ahead
- Six states slowed/stopped counting
- All six states run by Democrats.
- One’s highly partisan AG (PA) declared yesterday morning that Trump would NOT win PA.
- Troubling.
They have done it before.
Ballots are found in closets and car trunks all the time and oddly they are always heavily democrat. Coincidence I am sure...
- Bottom line, is that if Trump wins we are in for the Democrats declaring the election illegitimate.
The truth is though that that is what they have done to republican administrations for years going back to Bush.
Losing graciously is not what Democrats do.
Witness the last four years of hell they have put the country through trying to overturn 2016 however possible.
The Democrat leadership is already out there in force calling the president a totalitarian and fascist.
Let the incitement to violence begin.
- If Biden wins, in overtime counting then the republicans may declare the election illegitimate.
It is illegal in other countries because it is ripe for fraud and cheating.
It is a terrible practice only legal where Democrats have cemented their ability to cheat.
- If the president doesn’t stand for this and fights there will be more incitement to violence by the left.
It was ok when Gore did it but it will not be ok when Trump does it.
I think republicans held the senate and that is a good thing.
I think republicans held the senate and that is a good thing.
They can act as a bulwark against socialism to the extent possible and protect the judicial branch from court packing.
I think the democrat policies will harm Garrett and I pray they never come to pass.

Friedman on CNN: GOP Just Un-American Whores Putting a Bullet in the Country | Newsbusters
"CNN’s hatred for President Trump and Republicans was boiling over on the eve of Election Day.
Their animus was perfectly summed up during a Monday segment of Cuomo PrimeTime which featured New York Times columnist, the insufferably pompous Tom Friedman.
According to the duo, the Republicans were just a bunch of “manure” eating racists and whores trying to stir up a Lebanese-style civil war while trying to suppress votes, while President Trump was trying to “put a bullet into the country.”...Read all.
