In other words, it's a collection of right-wing propaganda, because "elite" is not the sole provenance of the Democratic Party. If "They" means Democrats, you're generalizing wildly about a varied group of people. The ones I know do not take their morality from ideology, but tend to take their ideology from their ethical and religious beliefs. There are ideologues in the Democratic party, but there's plenty in the Republican party. Republicans actively discriminate against other classes of people.
Muslims tend to be religious conservatives, and would be a natural fit for the Republican party, except that the Republicans are against them. They get pushed into being Democrats, which is not their natural leaning, because Democrats accept them.
The immediate goal of terrorism is terror, which means that it fails as a strategy if it doesn't scare anyone. It's an attempt to leverage a little power into a lot of influence. If the target population isn't scared, terrorism fails, and is less likely to be used.

How does climate change research conform to the scientific method?
You have got to be kidding. It's a branch of science. It gets examined by people in other branches. If they were performing voodoo, there wouldn't be such a high level of agreement of other scientists. As far as the rest, the IPCC report is a good place to start, since evidently you want to look over the literature.
Clearly, though, the conclusions of global warming are not affected by a desire to maintain funding.
I don't think every scientist goes before Congress and the press, personally, so you're saying that the ones who are trying to drum up publicity for something they see as a major threat are trying to drum up publicity. Existential threats are not political, although they may be misjudged. Science should play a part in politics, and there's no reason why a scientist has any less standing than you or me to discuss what should be done about what a scientist has studied.
Fascinating, Thanks for the cite, and for answering my request for statistics.
What that means is that, in an arrest, police in the studied cities were less likely to shoot blacks they stopped, and more likely to use less lethal violence. The paper also points out that police are more likely to stop blacks than whites.
So, which of my media sources would be fake news? There are two fairly recent highly publicized cases of a police officer coming up to a black child and killing said child and not being prosecuted. You should be able to find sources yourself if you doubt mine. They make much better cases for BLM than people like Michael Brown. Aside from that, I didn't say anything that needs a source.
Alternately, the developers are working very competently on a decent codebase and are adding lots of new hard-to-test functionality. Lots of what we do can't be properly tested except by generating gcode and running it, so when we've got a lot of work in that area the bug list grows for a while.
The hard problem is transforming from informal specifications to adequately formal specifications, such as programs. That transform exists in all software development, somewhere, and for the foreseeable future only humans will be able to do it. Managers have been trying to eliminate programmers, who tend to be expensive and not fluent in manager-speak, since the business started. COBOL was praised as a way to eliminate programmers, since non-programmers could just write what they wanted in this English-looking language.
There have been other attempts. Canned software and simple report generators let non-programmers do things that programmers didn't really want to do in the first place. Formal specification languages are formal languages, and become computer languages whenever someone writes a compiler for them. The task of writing an informal spec in the specification language is programming.
With modern techniques, it's become a lot easier to start with something informal and wind up with a formal solution, so it would be possible for this to make the demand for programmers lower. However, we seem to have an insatiable demand for software development, and the ease of use has primarily made it possible to employ less skilled developers and still get some good out of them. Presumably there's some level where the demand would abate, but we haven't seen anything suggesting that yet.
Isn't that the Japanese? After Fukushima, they had to go back to coal. Since approximately nobody goes to Hokkaido (the northern island), they don't have to use many concealment measures. Besides, when they throw very large tarps over the robots they look like small hills.
Back in the early years of the century, Baen Books tried offering good electronic copies of a selection of their books free, with no restrictions on copying and redistribution. They found that was a great way to boost sales, both of the books distributed freely and the other books the author wrote.
Apparently she gave appropriate orders and didn't follow up to see that they were carried about well. I have drawn one conclusion from this mess: I will NEVER give any IT person anything based on Clinton's recommendation.
It was clear that the submarine guy was taking the pictures knowing this was against the rules, meaning an intent to steal. What the perp intended to do with the classified material, or actually did, doesn't seem to affect the prosecution much.
Looking over past cases, the intent to mishandle is the dividing point between prosecution and no prosecution. (I can't find any distinction based on what the mishandler intended to do with the data.)
C'mon, give us credit for having many more ways to insult you than that. However, "Nazi" is much more appropriate with our current President evidently believing in the Fuehrerprinzip, basically that he's the leader and it's everyone else's job to do what he says, and the resemblances of Trump's rise to Hitler's rise.
They recognize that Islam is the biggest threat to the West,
Which makes them idiots. There are unfortunately many Muslims who want Islam to be a threat, but they don't have what it takes. Lots and lots of people (including Westerners) greatly underestimate the power and resilience of Western civilization. Lots of radical Muslims take the fact that we haven't ground them into the dirt as evidence that we can't. I suspect this means they'd use such power a lot more freely than the generally forbearing West. Lots of them have no real overall strategy other than relying on God and miracles. The annoying thing about that is that they can't be convinced they're beaten just because they are, something like the Japanese Empire in WWII (relying on miracles and the idea that the US would at some point decide continuing the war wasn't worth it).
As a leftist and amateur historian, if Trump doesn't want to be called a Nazi he should act less like Hitler. If Trump supporters don't want to be called Nazis they can act less like they people that got Hitler into power.
Most people on the right live by identity politics. They perceive the world from a point of privilege, and attempt to shoot down any way of reducing the privilege gap. People like them deserve consideration, and people not like them don't. The status quo is that they're more privileged, and they see no reason to stop that. It's not identity politics as much on racial grounds as on social grounds, so the racism is to some extent incidental.
White privilege exists. I consider it decent treatment that should be normal for everyone, but it isn't. It includes being taken seriously, getting some automatic respect, being punished less for the same crimes, that sort of thing. It doesn't mean getting anything you want just because you're a white man.
If you can't find anything on the right wing that is some form of white supremacy, you've drunk gallons of the Kool-aid. Some of it is old-fashioned "whites are better". Much of it is assuming that people have equal opportunity, and that lower performance by disadvantaged groups is their own fault. A lot of it is assuming that the world as they see it is normal and
Not my observation. My observation is that there's a lot of racism and bigotry in the country that people don't want to admit to, and that some Republicans are working on the sort of state-corporation alliance that characterizes fascism. Trump, in particular, seems to want to be Fuehrer rather than President.
I don't have statistics, but I've observed that a police officer can shoot an unarmed black child with no warning and no time taken to evaluate the situation and get away with nothing more than paid administrative leave. Last I heard, those police haven't had their cities burned down, their character committed suicide before it could be assassinated, and they're doing just fine.
As a liberal, I can see reasons to stay far away from Trump, and reasons to stay close to know what's going on and increase the ratio of intelligent suggestions so that if he follows one randomly it's more likely to be intelligent.
Last month, in a Minneapolis suburb, I was going to a restaurant that had its lights off, so I saw it when I was driving by, and tried circling the block, knowing where to pull off this time. After half an hour, my wife called, and asked what I saw. Fortunately, we both saw the same Wendy's, so I was able to navigate by that. This was in a bloody commercial district, not a residential neighborhood.
It doesn't necessarily take more time. If you're sitting at a stop sign, waiting to turn left on a busy street, that left turn can take a long time, and it may be faster to do additional driving.
