Who Will Run For President As A Republican If Trump Is Removed?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 2 minutes ago
The public phase of impeachment began yesterday. Meanwhile, the *Rolling Stone*'s Tim Dickinson ran an hilarious speculative piece about which GOPer might run in 2020 if Trump is removed by the Senate or cops a plea deal and resigns. He offers 16 hideous alternatives, although it could easily have been double or triple that. I mean when your scraping the toilet bowl for contenders like Gym Jordan and Liz Cheney, *anything* goes, right? These were Dickinson's 16: *1) Mike Pence* *Faction: Trump Loyalist* It’s hard to judge Pence’s own precariousness. The vice president has done ... more »

"I Am An Invisible Man..."

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 14 minutes ago
"I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination - indeed, everything and anything except... more »

If Japan Is A Naval Power, Why Does It Not Have Aircraft Carriers?

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 25 minutes ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Politics. *Key point: *Japan decided to build helicopter carriers instead. Japan has decided to refit its Izumo-class light carriers to operate the F-35B stealth fighter. So modified, the Izumos will carry about a dozen F-35Bs each, giving the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force a small but significant aviation combat capability. The question now is “what comes next?” *Japan and China* In 2006 Japan laid down the first of two fourteen-thousand-ton Hyuga-class helicopter destroyers at IHI Marine United Yokohama Shipyard. In 2012, Japan laid down th... more »

Impeachment Problems: Why Republicans Prefer to Portray Trump as a Victim

Kirsten Carlson, Chris Edelson at The National Interest - 32 minutes ago
*Kirsten Carlson, Chris Edelson* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] The impeachment clause is one of several powers given to Congress that allow it to oversee the executive and judicial branches. *Editor’s note: *Wednesday was the first day of public hearings in the House impeachment inquiry.

Ruger's LCR Revolvers Are Changing What Is Meant By "Small And Powerful"

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 32 minutes ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * How will they fare? *Key point: *There are 18 different variations. One of the most unexpected surprises of recent years is the resurgence in snub-nose, concealed-carry revolvers. Largely displaced in the 1980s by a frenzy of interest in low-cost, high capacity 9-millimeter pistols, new interest in these short, compact revolvers was led in the late-2000s by the Ruger LCR, an entirely new revolver design that skillfully blended steel, aluminum, and even polymer into a very lightweight weapon. The modern snub-nose revolver era began in the early 195... more »

Funding Cuts Create an Uncertain Future for Students

Derek W. Black at The National Interest - 32 minutes ago
*Derek W. Black* *Education, Americas* [image: Reuters] Research shows that school funding impacts student achievement. With few exceptions, the various Democratic plans for public education share a common theme: more funding, less privatizing. Candidates Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders have promised to dramatically increase or triple current federal funding for low-income students and curtail charter school growth. Elizabeth Warren recently went even further, promising to quadruple federal funding for low-income students and end federal funding for charter expansion.... more »

The Pentagon Should Freak Out: Russia and China Are Winning Wars in Simulations

David Axe at The National Interest - 32 minutes ago

The U.S. military keeps getting its butt kicked in war games, one analyst *told* Breaking Defense reporter Sydney Freedberg, Jr. It would cost $24 billion a year to fix the worst problems, the same analyst said.

one may not have sufficient spiritual reserve for constant bestowal?

Bob Dinn at balance10 - 1 hour ago
52. Those who enter the path of Great Service sometimes fear that they may not have sufficient spiritual reserve for constant bestowal. Truly they know that the giving hand does not become impoverished but it is difficult for them to apply this in its spiritual implication. But the same is also said of the birds of the heavens who have ample food for the morrow. Verily in cooperation with Hierarchy the spiritual store will not be exhausted. The heart that cherishes the Image of the Lord will not become silent. Thus one need not fear consuming the spiritual store--it is inexhaust... more »

"Peak Hubris"

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 hour ago
*"Peak Hubris"* by Paul Edwards “Hubris” is defined as rash and foolish pride, a dangerous overconfidence, manifested with arrogance. The Deep State vaunts our “exceptionalism”, and since Reagan’s “City on a HIll” trope Americans have been assured by all succeeding Presidents that ours is the “indispensible nation”. The word describes the way America sells itself to the world, and has for generations. The yawning cognitive gap between our nomenklatura’s relentless self-promotion and its pathetic history of botched, humiliating failures in every single act of Imperial overreach, d... more »

On The Problem of Evil

Unknown at The Verma Report - 2 hours ago
Diamonds are not forever, but evil is. Evil cannot be abolished. There can never be a society that is free of evil because all men (even the saintly ones) have the potential for being evil, just as they have the potential for being good. But this philosophical point is ignored by the modern leftists, liberals, and the neo-conservatives who are convinced that a society free of evil (a paradise) can be created through reason. They inflict utopian policies on their nation and launch wars for creating a paradise in other nations. Most of them are atheists, but they have a “blind faith” ... more »

The Global Economy of Pulses: Impressive Gains and the Way Forward

ROME, Nov 14 (IPS) - Pulses are highly nutritious and their consumption is associated with many health benefits. They are rich in proteins and minerals, high in fibre and have a low fat content. Pulses are produced by plants of the *Leguminosae* family. These plants have root nodules that absorb inert nitrogen from soil air and convert it into biologically useful ammonia, a process referred to as biological nitrogen fixation. Consequently, the pulse crops do not need any additional nitrogen as fertilizer and help reduce the requirement of fossil fuel-based chemical nitrogen fertil... more »

Monsanto Loses Millions as Indian Cotton Farmers are Switching Back to Indigenous Seeds

Admin at Health Impact News - 3 hours ago
Monsanto is making the news these days for losing. They have lost three court cases in which Roundup has been linked to cancer. In India, they are losing, too. After years of pushing a strain of Bt Cotton, Indian farmers have had enough and are switching back to native seeds for the cotton industry. It’s been a hard road for cotton farmers in India dealing with Monsanto. To begin with, Monsanto illegally began open field trials of its GMO Bt cotton in 1997 and announced it would begin selling seeds the following year. In turn, the Indian Supreme Court would not allow the biotech gi... more »

Dressed to Kill: Arming Ukraine Could Put It on a Path Towards War

Kyle Ropp at The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Kyle Ropp* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] Even after Russian military forces withdrawal, deep-seated resentments will linger in Donbas. The lethal aid policy’s greatest flaw is that it completely fails to address these resentments, and in doing so, artificially simplifies the conflict to a proxy war with Russia. In 2017, the United States began supplying Javelin missile launchers and sniper systems to Ukraine. This equipment, in addition to nonlethal aid (since 2014), is intended to help fight off Russian-backed separatists in the Donbas region. Yet the aid policy has a n... more »

The workarounds aren't much better: Removal via the 25th Amendment requires the support of a majority of Trump's Cabinet plus, ultimately, a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress (impeachment can at least be done in the House by majority vote, although conviction requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate).
