Kerry calls the Paris pact nonbinding with no enforcement or penalties, while NASA critic Hansen denounces the arrangement.

Krauthammer on Paris talks and Iran deal fallout
Charles Krauthammer argues the Paris climate talks produce little real progress and that the Iran nuclear accord lacks legal force. He criticizes U S actions on coal, emissions targets, and snapback sanctions while accusing the Obama administration of verging on a legacy built on nonbinding agreements. He notes Iran’s missile tests and undecided enforcement as proof of weakness.

WW II Compared to modern conflicts cited by George Taylor
George E Taylor argues in a letter from Lawrence that World War II relied on a formal declaration of war, a military draft, rationing, war bonds, and high tax rates to fund the effort, contrasting with current foreign adventures he deems debt driven and lacking decisive action. He recalls Roosevelt, Eisenhower and wartime fiscal measures to press for action.

Revival of rifle clubs gains national traction in 1915
The Lawrence Daily Journal World notes an unprecedented revival in rifle shooting sparked by a 1914 Congress act allowing civilians to form government rifle clubs. Ten locals can organize under War Department approval, affiliate with the National Rifle Association, and receive Krag rifles plus ammunition for ranges. The NRA coordinates club formation, decorations, and classifications, signaling strong government support for sport and preparedness.
