Fist Bumping at the DOJ?

Diogenes Sarcastica™ at Diogenes' Middle Finger - 12 hours ago
*Trump’s Internal Resistance Celebrates*. There were smiles—and fear that the anonymous New York Times op-ed could backfire on those inside the bureaucracy trying to blunt the president. Some officials interviewed by *The Daily Beast* cheered the underlying message of the anonymously written op-ed. But several worried about its lasting impact, beyond provoking a familiar Washington parlor game: outing a dissenter. Handling the fallout of politically motivated anonymous quotes or leaks is a rite of passage for every president. Early in Barack Obama’s administration, a 66-page repor... more »

Idlib: Al Qaeda's Last Stand

Land Destroyer at Land Destroyer - 12 hours ago
*September 7, 2018* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - The United States has raised tensions further amid Syria's ongoing conflict. It has issued a threat in the form of a "warning" against Damascus against retaking the northern region of Idlib. More specifically, the US has accused Damascus of preparing chemical weapon attacks as part of its alleged strategy to retake the territory. No evidence has been provided by the US to substantiate these accusations - and it is clear that the warning was actually a threat implicating a planned, staged provocation likely to be followed by US military ... more »

Unintended pregnancies in the military

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 12 hours ago
Active duty women in the U.S. military are more likely (one study says 50%) to have an unintended pregnancy than civilian women in the U.S. population (7% compared to 5%). There's no shortage of insurance or education or birth control, the 3 things liberals like to site as the reason we need legal abortion. So why is this? I don't know--but I'm sure there will now be demands for the Department of Defense to pay for abortions. https://www.medpagetoday.com/publichealthpolicy/militarymedicine/74959

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 12 hours ago
*Reuters:* *Brazil election plunged into chaos by attack on far-right frontrunner* JUIZ DE FORA, Brazil, Sept 7 (Reuters) - The run-up to a presidential election in Brazil plunged into chaos on Friday after a knife attack on far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro put the frontrunner in intensive care just a month before the vote. Congressman Bolsonaro, who has enraged many Brazilians for years with controversial comments but has a devout following among conservative voters, could take two months to fully recover and will spend at least a week in hospital, said Dr. Luiz Henrique Borsa... more »

How America Planned to Crush Russia in a War: Kill the Satellites

David Axe at Test Feed Using Fields - 13 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * What could possibly go wrong? *Wear and tear and funding cuts took their toll on the Thor missiles, and in 1975 the Pentagon shut down Program 437.* In 1962, U.S. president John F. Kennedy was in a bind. He was eager to negotiate a nuclear test ban with the Soviet Union. But the Soviets had recently shattered a three-year test moratorium and now Kennedy was under pressure to respond with a display of strength. One eventual result was America’s Cold War nuclear satellite-killer — a missile that could lob an atomic warhead into Earth’s orbit and fry enemy... more »

NATO Is Training for a Submarine War with Russia

Zachary Keck at Test Feed Using Fields - 13 hours ago
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Europe* Beyond drills, there are increasingly frequent real life opportunities to hone the alliance’s ASW skills by tracking Russian submarine patrols. *The episode does make clear that NATO has to devote extensive resources to tracking Russian submarines and that interoperability is crucial. Hence, the need for drills like Dynamic Mongoose and Dynamic Mantra.* While much attention was given to the recently concluded NATO Summit, the alliance has quietly been busying trying to hunt its own submarines. From June 25 to July 6, 2018, seven NATO members part... more »

Here is why. *The new Russian battalions “are characterized as highly integrated, extremely powerful, and exceptionally mobile,” the authors explained, noting they were composed of “of a tank company, three mechanized infantry companies, an anti-tank company, two to three batteries of artillery (self-propelled guns and multiple launch rocket), and two air defense batteries.” Chinese ground forces, likewise, have reformed their formations and upgraded their warfighting doctrine.* On Februa... more »

This Stealth Navy Submarine Is Truly 1 of a Kind (And China's Worst Nightmare)

Ben Ho Wan Beng at Test Feed Using Fields - 13 hours ago
*Ben Ho Wan Beng* *Security, * The Ohio-Class SSGN's are amazing. Here is what they can do. *Getting this immense firepower of the Ohio SSGN to bear on the enemy’s access-denial barrier is then greatly facilitated by the submarine’s stealth. For one, it goes without saying that the submarine is much harder to detect compared to the various U.S. Navy Tomahawk-armed surface combatants, and this eases considerably its penetration into an enemy’s inner sanctum.* How best could the United States metaphorically “kick down” the anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) “door” of a near-peer adv... more »

Should the Navy Fear China's New Missile Destroyer?

Robert Farley at Test Feed Using Fields - 13 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* So the short answer to the question “does the United States need to respond to the Type 055” is “no, not in the medium term.” The longer answer is that the U.S. Navy needs to figure out its procurement and shipbuilding policies soon in order to credibly approach design of the next big surface combatant. *As the Ticonderogas continue to age, they will leave a gap that a new large warship needs to fill, even if it is never likely to meet the Type 055 in direct combat.* Does the United States have an answer to China’s new Type 055 destroyers? Does i... more »

Musk's weed, crypto drop, Skripal assassins, Jones Twitter ban, Chemnitz

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 14 hours ago
First, in the early trading, the Tesla dropped over 9%, to $254, before recovering some losses to a 6% drop around $264 now (that's still a 30% drop from a post-tweet local minimum near $380 exactly one month ago). In the previous days, a Mercedes' Tesla killer SUV and Goldman Sachs restored "sell" rating were quoted as the reasons. Today, the most quoted reason for that drop was an Elon Musk who smoke weed.

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 14 hours ago
Miss D. and I finally have a new-to-us set of wheels, after a couple of months of searching. We both have partial physical disabilities; my lower back and left leg, and her right knee. That made it very important that whatever we bought had to be comfortable for both of us - and our comfort zones are not alike. It's tricky to find a vehicle that "fits" both of us. One that I like might not suit her, and vice versa. Added to that is a certain amount of cultural conditioning. For example, I find minivans very comfortable and practical, but she absolutely rejects the "soccer mom... more »

Demanding Satisfaction

LL at Virtual Mirage - 15 hours ago
I made a comment the other day that in a more civilized time, I could call out an offending party, challenge them to a duel of sabers and kill them. Apparently, I was wrong (depending on whose rules you were using). The French had a lot of rules for duels. They are outlined below, in what the French called, a 'trial by chance'. French rules called for an end of the duel at first blood. Therefore it's incumbent to make the first blood wound fatal... French rules made a lethal wound unlikely.

We’ve known that he was entirely unfit to hold any public office, much less wield the awesome powers of the presidency, regardless of what political views he might have. Trump demonstrates this fact every single day. All the reporting -- particularly Bob Woodward's new book -- confirms what thinking Americans have always known. The problem is that those who occupy the seats of constitutional power will do nothing about Trump: Trump’s enabl... more »

Many members of the postmodernist movement have emerged from the Marxist and post-Marxist groupings in France.

The risk of course is that we can change too much to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Finding our way back can be difficult. There's no compass, no map.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has no meaningful cards left to play, so we get embarrassing verbose grandstanding and melodramatic cosplay by junior Senators. This situation is of the making by the American left. They developed the doctrine, which magnified the political importance of the judiciary.
