Topics this time include... 00:30 Transgender people born male must register for the Selective Service, and those born female do not. Is this a hypocritical double-standard? 03:32 Sen. Ralph Warnock's church pays for his home ($7,400/month housing allowance) and also owns a low-income apartment building from which it tried to evict several renters during the pandemic, according to a report in the Washington Free Beacon based on public records. 05:40 New York University (NYU) fires an organic chemistry professor because students said his class was too difficult. The students are preparing to be medical doctors. 08:17 Data show that Americans don't want to move to New Jersey, California, Illinois, New York and Connecticut. What do these states have in common? 10:36 U.S. Space Force's Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) will hunt foreign spacecraft, debris, and astronomical objects of interest. When you combine DART with SST, you have the baby steps toward a real planetary defense.
