() The Air Force, under fire for throwing down $1,280 apiece to replace in-flight reheating cups after their handles break, is pledging to use 3-D printing to get that replacement cost down to 50 cents.

But Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is still wondering why these pricey water heaters are necessary in the first place, and plans to keep pushing the Air Force to find cheaper waysto warm up their coffee.

My Commentary: When tax time arrives, consider making a modest donation to the IRS. Every petro-dollar counts! The “Great Work” of our wise and noble elect never ends, and it ain’t cheap!

(Maddie Savage) Technology continues to get closer and closer to our bodies, from the phones in our pockets to the smartwatches on our wrists. Now, for some people, it’s getting under their skin.

In Sweden, a country rich with technological advancement, thousands have had microchips inserted into their hands.

(Andrew Buncombe) Veteran activist Noam Chomsky has accused Israel of “brazenly” interfering in US electoral politics in a way that vastly outweighs any efforts that may have been carried out by Russia.

In comments in which he accused much of the media of concentrating on stories he considered marginal and ignoring issues such as the “existential threat” of climate change, the 89-year-old linguist said in much of the world, the US media’s focus with Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 was “a joke”.

My Commentary: Shhh… They’re our colonial “allies,” receiving massive US foreign aid, and holding major lobbying power, so they meddle only at the behest of American interests.

‘If We Didn’t Trade,’ Trump Argues, ‘We’d Save a Hell of a Lot of Money’:
https://reason.com/blog/2018/07/27/if-we-didnt-trade-trump-argues-wed-save?fbclid=IwAR2lGouSXBUNEN_tdI7FZqFU23GfcnAq5s9gN71pdu_uY9GofrrlH_9K60A

() “Our trade deficit ballooned to $817 billion,” Donald Trump said during a speech to steelworkers in Granite City, Illinois, yesterday. “Think of that. We lost $817 billion a year over the last number of years in trade. In other words, if we didn’t trade, we’d save a hell of a lot of money.”

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the president exaggerated the size of the 2017 trade deficit by 48 percent. But that’s a mere quibble compared to his fundamental misunderstanding of what that number means, which in turn reflects a zero-sum view of economic exchange that does not bode well for the outcome of a tariff war supposedly aimed at promoting free trade.
