Survivorship bias is briefly defined as self reinforcing interpretation of present data. It's important to consider the absence of information just as thoroughly as the information immediately available. Sometimes, the absence of information in a closed system is just as useful as positive data.

I have to ask the ultimate question. If the administration fails to report completely to Congress, does that mean the President is personally financially liable to reimburse the government for Time, Labor, Fuel, and Ammunition costs of this strike?

The War Powers Act of 1973 requires 48 hour notification of Congress and a subsequent mandate for the action. Otherwise, it could be reasonably suggested that the President misappropriated federal resources. Under current policy, public servants are personally responsible for such costs incurred.

Over 15 hours ago, the US President committed military forces to eliminate defense industrial capability inside Iranian Sovereign Territory. He owes significant reports to Congress in the next 33 hours. This was an act of war taken without authorization of Congress.

Rest in peace Mr. Connolly.

I hope for the strength to continue doing what is just and not what is easy.

Hypothesis testing is not an optional part of disciplined thought. A #returntoreason starts with deft use of critical thinking to identify the root cause of any departure from healthy logic.

When William of Occam allegedly said, "pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate," commonly translated to “plurality should not be posited without necessity," a heuristic and a falacy were introduced into the world. Neither all simple things are correct, nor are correct things always simple.

Increasing ROI for the American Taxpayer is already covered under "...uphold the Constitution from all enemies, Foreign and Domestic." Is it not wasteful to have a duplicate program for work that's already being done? Duplicate Office of Government Efficiency?
