Why Liberals Lost Canadian Election...And Why Conservatives Failed to Get Majority

greencrow at Greencrow As The Crow Flies - 11 hours ago
*Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland* *cost the Liberals the Election* Most of the dust has settled since last October's Canadian (s)election. The minority government of Justin Trudeau is settling in for the long haul, meeting with opposition leaders and arranging a start date for the next Parliament. Time to consider the major reason why Canadians are stuck with a government that nobody really wanted. The voters only expressed 30+ approval of the governing Liberals. Why? Well, the biggest reason is the individual in the photograph above, Foreign Affairs minister Chrysti... more »

Why China Loves Russia's Su-35 Fighter (And Might Buy Even More of Them)

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * But a larger question looms. *Key Point*: When Will China go on its own when it comes to developing fighter aircraft? For a nation that boasts of developing an advanced stealth fighter, it seems strange that China would need to buy warplanes from its former rival Russia. Yet Moscow is offering to sell more Su-35 fighters to Beijing – and Chinese media reports that Beijing may accept. China has already bought 24 Su-35s – an upgraded version of the Cold War Su-27 Flanker – in a 2015 sale worth $2.5 billion, according to Russian news agency TASS. “We... more »

F-35s Belong in a Museum: Europe Has Some Wild 6th-Generation Fighter Dreams

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * But will they ever leave the drawing board? *Key Question:* Can Europe Even Afford It? Ever since the guns fell silent in 1945, Europe has always been in third place in the global arms race. Nations such as Britain, France and Sweden could devise weapons of clever and innovative design. But when it came to weapons technology, the innovation came from the United States and the Soviet Union/Russia, who were willing to spend vast amounts of treasure on military research and development. But is a new generation of weapons coming that will put Europe on... more »

USS Utah: The Forgotten (Drone) Battleship Sunk at Pearl Harbor

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Back in July, the United States almost went to war over the downing of a drone along the Iranian border. This is not, strangely enough, the first time that an attack against the United States began with violence against a drone. *Key Point: *Utah was the oldest battleship to serve in World War II, but not the oldest to serve as a battleship, an honor which goes to USS Arkansas. Her presence at Pearl Harbor is often forgotten because she had ceased to serve as a battleship at the time of the attack. However, her contribution to the preparedness of the... more »

This is How America's National Debt Could Grow by $7 Trillion

Rachel Greszler at The National Interest - 11 hours ago
*Rachel Greszler* *Economics, * Tacking as much as $6.7 trillion onto our national debt to cover broken pension promises would raise the average household’s debt burden by $52,000, to $230,000. On Oct. 31, the national debt hit $23 trillion. That’s equivalent to a credit card bill of $178,000 for every household in America. This marks an enormous increase. Even after adjusting for inflation, it’s a jump of $60,000 over just 10 years for the average household. In other words, even after accounting for inflation, the U.S. added more debt per household over the past 10 years than i... more »

Adam Schiff Orders Republicans To Conduct Themselves With Dignity, Propriety, Courtesy, And Decorum While Trump Is Being Impeached

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 12 hours ago
*Adam Schiff by Nancy Ohanian* This morning, Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) released a "dear colleague" letter explaining the next phase of Trump's impeachment, a letter that will help people better understand why Trump has seemingly gone insane on Twitter today-- over half a dozen crackpot tweets, with the chief executive no doubt running around the room, crying, showing things, screeching, shaking like a mad dog: Dear Colleague: As we return from recess, I want to provide a brief update on the next phase of the impeachment inquiry as the Intelligence Committee prepa... more »

Cuba Was Never a Threat to 'National Security'

Jacob G. Hornberger at 12 hours ago
[image: undefined] Of all the ludicrous aspects of the Cold War, among the most ridiculous was the notion that Cuba posed a threat to US “national security.” For some 30 years, the US deep state (i.e., the Pentagon, CIA, and NSA) maintained that Cuba was a communist “dagger” pointed at America’s neck and, therefore, was a grave threat to “national security.” Through it all, hardly anyone ever asked a very simple but important question: What did they mean when they said that Cuba was a threat to “national security”? Did they mean that the Cuban army was about to invade Florida, conq... more »

John Brennan's CIA Trump Task Force

Philip Giraldi at 12 hours ago
[image: undefined] There is considerable evidence that the American system of government may have been victimized by an illegal covert operation organized and executed by the US intelligence and national security community. Former Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director Jim Comey appear to have played critical leadership roles in carrying out this conspiracy and they may not have operated on their own. Almost certainly what they may have done would have been explicitly authorized by the former President of the United St... more »

TN's Latest Grades on School Funding

Jim Horn at Schools Matter - 12 hours ago
Tennessee has been at or near the forefront of education reformers' thirty-year crusade to come up with a cheap and easily-measured scheme to gauge education productivity. In 1992, Tennessee formalized its chosen "accountability" strategy by writing into state statute Bill Sanders' value-added algorithms, which the wizened tobacco-chewing agricultural statistician had sold to the State as a "good and cheap" way to convince taxpayers that schools, teachers, and students were being held accountable for the millions of pennies that state politicians were demanding for K-12 education. ... more »

Democrat claims that Trump is guilty of bribery is legally wrong: Matt Gaetz edtion

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 12 hours ago
Representative Gaetz said the following about Trump being guilty of bribery: “I would disagree that bribery would be applicable for this reason: For bribery to have been committed, you have to be asking someone to do something that they would not otherwise do with President Zelinsky, who ran an entire campaign on rooting out corruption,” Gaetz said. “He even said to the president he didn’t believe enough had been done yet, and he needed to make changes with prosecutors to ensure justice was done in the Ukraine.

Democrats are working to abrogate the 2nd Amendment and leave you defensless

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 12 hours ago
The Supreme Court has allowed lawsuits by the families of Sandy Hook victims against the company that made the guns used in the mass shooting. This is the same as allowing people to sue Ford if a terrorist used a Ford truck to run over pedestrians. That is clearly insane and Federal law prohibits it. What makes it even more insane is that they're not suing the state for allowing the shooter's mother to own a gun. Remember that the shooter killed his mother and stole her gun. So what Democrats are saying is that if an Islamic terrorist killed you and stole your car to use to kill c... more »

Glock's Insanely Powerful Pocket Cannon: Meet the Glock 30 .45 ACP

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * This is one really powerful gun--and very small. *Key Point:* But is it too small? Too powerful? Glock’s most powerful—and compact—handgun is a mix of old and new technology. The Glock 30 subcompact handgun merges the .45 ACP round, a product of the Industrial Revolution, with modern handgun technology. The result is a highly concealable firearm that, once drawn, has few equals. The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) round was developed by prolific arms inventor John Moses Browning. The U.S. Army’s experience with the .38 Long Colt round during the Ph... more »

Concealed carry guns have been growing in popularity in the last few years, and more people now than ever before have their concealed carry licenses. That means that gunmakers are having to keep up with the demand and in the area of compact .9mm pistols.

*“Note”* “My soul shattered like an empty vase. It fell irretrievably down the stairs. If fell from the hands of the careless maid. It fell, breaking into more pieces than there was china in the vase. Nonsense? Impossible? I’m not so sure! I have more sensations than when I felt like myself. I’m a scattering of shards on a doormat that needs shaking. My fall made a noise like a shattering vase. All the gods there are lean over the stair rail And look at the shards their maid changed me into. They don’t get mad at her. They’re forgiving. What was I but an empty vase?

"The Need For Mystery..."

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 13 hours ago
"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer. They think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." - Ken Kesey

While he was a student in Berlin, Søren Kierkegaard had studied with Friedrich Schelling who has denounced G. W. F. Hegel as a negative thinker.
