☆ The Supreme Court and a Wealth Tax
  + stars: | 2023-12-06 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The Supreme Court in Washington. Sensing a threat to their designs for a wealth tax, they turned the runup to the Supreme Court’s Tuesday oral arguments in Moore v. U.S. into tax Armageddon. “Supreme Court Will Hear Case That Could Upend The Current Tax System,” headlined Forbes. The Washington Post called it “the Supreme Court tax case that could blow a hole in the federal budget,” as if Congress hasn’t already done that. Even former House Speaker Paul Ryan pushed the panic button, but he’s been led astray.

A potential No. 1 draft pick just signaled he might be available. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin’s decision not to seek re-election to the Senate next year has intensified questions about whether he might seek the presidency, either as an independent candidate or through the No Labels’ effort.

☆ Republican Senators Confront Tommy Tuberville Over Blocked Military Promotions

Sen. Tommy Tuberville has vowed not to let the Senate fast-track confirmations of military promotions, as is traditionally done, until the Pentagon ends its abortion policy. Photo: will oliver/ShutterstockWASHINGTON—Republican senators ran out of patience Wednesday night with Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s monthslong hold on hundreds of military promotions. In a dramatic showdown, a group of Tuberville’s fellow Republicans, most of whom have military backgrounds, took to the Senate floor to try to confirm dozens of those promotions, one by one, by voice vote, as growing GOP anger with Tuberville’s hold spilled out into public view after months of private entreaties.

It is these lives that Wise and other Jewish American peace activists are mobilizing to save with their calls for an urgent ceasefire. Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow organized a rally on Capitol Hill calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Jewish peace activists carried the Palestinian flag and wore keffiyehs as they marched on Capitol Hill.

Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow believe that only by addressing these issues can peace ever be achieved between Israelis and Palestinians.

☆ Most of us have a bit of Neanderthal DNA, with some more than others. Scientists think they've figured out why.

AdvertisementAdvertisementMost of us have a little bit of Neanderthal DNA. An employee of the Natural History Museum in London looks at model of a Neanderthal male/ Will Oliver/PA Images/GettyBut that proportion varies, and some people have slightly more Neanderthal DNA than others. People in East Asia, notably, tend to have more Neanderthal DNA in their genomes, but why they have more has long baffled scientists. "So what's puzzling is that an area where we've never found any Neanderthal remains, there's more Neanderthal DNA," study author Mathias Currat, a geneticist at the University of Geneva, told CNN. Their study found that up to about 20,000 years ago, European genomes were indeed richer in Neanderthal DNA than the Asian genomes they have on record.

☆ A mysterious 40,000-year-old hip bone suggests human ancestors and Neanderthals shared a cave — and perhaps a culture
  + stars: | 2023-08-24 | by ( Marianne Guenot | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
The bone could mean modern humans shared the cave with Neanderthals. The early human bone was found in a cave at the center of a debate about Neanderthal culture. Maureille is an author of the study about the hip bone, and an archaeologist from the University of Bordeaux. This raises a controversial hypothesis: that modern humans and Neanderthals shared the mysterious Châtelperronien culture, which has long baffled scientists. Research there suggests modern humans shared a cave with Neanderthals and Denisovans about 45,000 years ago.

☆ An ancient skull unlike any human ever seen is baffling scientists and could rewrite the story of our evolution
  + stars: | 2023-08-07 | by ( ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
An ancient skull found in China is like nothing scientists have ever seen. If it is an undiscovered human ancestor, it could rewrite the story of human evolution. The skull has facial features that are similar to early modern humans, which scientists think began to branch away from Homo erectus between 750,000 to 550,000 years ago. Human history is messier than we thoughtThis isn't the first time human remains have shaken up the neat evolutionary path that is thought to have led to humans. Findings of archaic human remains in Israel and Greece over the past few years dating back about 200,000 years also suggested human ancestors may have left Africa a lot earlier than previously thought.

☆ The GOP Can Win on Work Requirements and Welfare
  + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Photo: will oliver/EPA/ShutterstockHouse Republicans are holding firm as they negotiate a deal with President Biden to raise the debt ceiling—a small miracle for the GOP—and one sticking point is work requirements in welfare. Democrats are digging in, calling the rules this week a “nonstarter,” but the attacks are false, and the GOP has the high ground on the merits and the politics.
☆ House Debt Ceiling Bill Cuts Deficits by $4.8 Trillion Over 10 Years, CBO Says
  + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( David Harrison | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Speaker Kevin McCarthy unveiled a debt-ceiling bill last week. Photo: will oliver/EPA/ShutterstockWASHINGTON—House Republicans’ debt-ceiling bill would cut government deficits by $4.8 trillion over 10 years, according to Congress’s nonpartisan scorekeeper, as party leaders moved to gather enough support for a vote this week. The bill is designed to unify Republicans around a position as they prepare for expected talks with the White House and congressional Democrats over spending cuts, ahead of a projected summer deadline to raise the country’s borrowing limit. Unless Congress raises the ceiling, the U.S. could default on payments to borrowers and other obligations.
☆ Some Neanderthals couldn't smell their own stink, suggests a new study recreating early humans' noses
  + stars: | 2023-02-03 | by ( Morgan Mcfall-Johnsen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
Meanwhile, one group of a related species — Neanderthals — developed a mutation that could have spared them the smell of their own body odors. It's a popular idea that humans have a bad sense of smell, as compared with dogs, for instance. Will Oliver/PA Images/Getty"We have to really understand ourselves within our own context," rather than comparing humans to dogs or monkeys, as previous research on smell receptors has done, Hoover said. To Hoover's surprise, the Neanderthals, Denisovan, and humans all appeared to have the same repertoire of smells. More research like it, with more samples of ancient genomes, could reveal a clearer picture of Neanderthal and Denisovan life.
