Former CIA Analyst to CBN News: ‘An American Insurrection is Now Underway’ . Barr’s choice words: — sabotage—strategy—insurgency—incendiary—war,to describe the ongoing Democrats’ attacks against President Trump and The Constitution of the USA.

*SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2019Why we can't have nice things:* Trigger warning! We start today with a statement so vile that it may rock your world. The statement in question goes like this: Even a tribalized player like Devin Nunes will make the occasional accurate statement. Rep. Nunes will, on occasion, make an accurate statement! He did so Thursday morning, near the start of that day's hearing, when he offered these remarks about something Fiona Hill had apparently said or suggested: NUNES (11/21/19): I’d also like to take a quick moment on an assertion Ms. Hill made in the sta... more »

Georgians Get To Vote For Two U.S. Senators Next Year

*Trump wants to collect on his quid pro quo in Georgia* Georgia is the only state where all 2020 voters will get to pick two U.S. senators. David Perdue's term is up and there is a special election to fill the other seat because Johnny Isakson is resigning from his seat two years early.

"The Hollowing Out Of America"

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 12 hours ago
*"The Hollowing Out Of America"* by Charles Hugh Smith "America is being hollowed out, but since we don't measure what actually matters, the decline has been deep-sixed by the government and media. As I explain in my new book "Will You Be Richer or Poorer?", there are a number of reasons why what's important - social capital, for example - doesn't get measured. The most obvious reason is that it's politically inconvenient for those in power for the hollowing out of America to be quantified. To conceal the decline, institutions only measure what can be massaged to appear positive. ... more »

Bolivia’s Coup Gov’t Targets Alternative Media as Crackdown Turns Increasingly Violent

Alan MacLeod at 12 hours ago
[image: undefined] Facing increased resistance to its rule, the new “transition” government of Jeanine Añez in Bolivia has begun to purge and censor potential threats to its authority, including in the media. TeleSUR, an international media network that began as a collaboration between left-wing Latin American nations, including deposed President Evo Morales’ Bolivia and Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, and which espouses an openly leftist and anti-imperialist outlook, received confirmation that it would be taken off the airwaves as part of what the government calls a “reorganization” of th... more »

The Pitfalls of a Pit Bull Russophobe

Ray McGovern at 12 hours ago
[image: undefined] Fiona Hill’s “Russian-expert” testimony Thursday and her deposition on Oct. 14 to the impeachment inquiry showed that her antennae are acutely tuned to what Russian intelligence services may be up to but, sadly, also displayed a striking naiveté about the machinations of US intelligence. Hill’s education on Russia came at the knee of the late Professor Richard Pipes, her Harvard mentor and archdeacon of Russophobia. I do not dispute her sincerity in attributing all manner of evil to what President Ronald Reagan called the “Evil Empire.” But, like so many other gl... more »

Fueling Iran's Protests

It's Charming

*I'm opening the Charms wrapper.* When I was in the military, the unofficial doctrine required that you needed to throw away the Charms from the K Ration or the Meal Ready to Eat (MRE). You couldn't eat them. It was bad luck to do that. You brought down the fickle finger of fate on everyone if you dared to suck on a Charm candy (12.5 calories each). Lifesavers were ok. You could chew all the tobacco that you could stuff into your cheek. You could chomp on Bazooka bubble gum. You could chew on the butt of an old, rancid cigar - but no Charms. Not one, not ever.

If a man exposes himself to a woman it's a crime unless he's in a women's bathroom.

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 13 hours ago
I'm stealing this idea from a meme I saw on PowerLineBlog. According to leftists if Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself at a drunken party when he was in college, which the alleged victim said he didn't, that's unimaginably evil. According to leftists biological men who say, without a doctor verifying their claims, they are really women can use women's bathrooms where there is a chance little girls, real girls not pretend ones, will see their sex organ. So on one hand a drunken act by adults is evil and on the other the exact same act when done while sober is fine. That's the left for... more »

By the time the attack on Pearl Harbor plunged the United States into World War II, Japan had been preparing for an all-out offensive in the Pacific for months.

AK-47 on Steroids? Russia Is Ready To Sell Its AK-308 Assault Rifle

Mark Episkopos at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Europe* The details are here. *Key point:* Russia is eager for arms sales. Russian weapons manufacturer Kalashnikov Concern has unveiled their new AK-308 assault rifle at the “Army 2018” expo in Moscow. At first glance, the AK-308 appears to be a rebrand of Kalashnikov’s AK-12 with some design elements from the AK-103. But its tame appearance belies what makes the AK-308 one of Kalashnikov’s most ambitious products in decades: it houses 7.62x51mm NATO rounds. Since the Second World War, Kalashnikov has produced over twenty assault rifles. Of these, a... more »

The Next Korean War Will Be Far Worse Than The First (Think World War III)

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* Here are five reasons why. *Key point: *Times have changed since the 1950s. If a Second Korean War were to erupt tomorrow, there is one thing we can be sure of. It won’t be like the First Korean War of 1950-53. It's always reassuring—and usually fatal—to assume a conflict will be like its predecessor. France lost in 1940 because they assumed World War II would be fought in the trenches like World War I. Israel almost lost in 1973 because they assumed the Arab armies would collapse as they did in 1967. So what are the chances that Korean War II w... more »

Is China Developing Ultra-Maneuverable J-20 Stealth Fighters With Thrust Vectoring Engines?

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Or just another rumor? In a 2018 Zhuhai airshow in China, a specially modified Chengdu J-10B single-engine multi-role jet wowed audiences with a series of jaw-dropping maneuvers including the famous Pugachev’s Cobra and the Falling Leaf, in which the diving aircraft spun laterally on its horizontal aircraft as it seemingly floated lazily towards the ground.

China has been showcasing its Chengdu J-10 Vigorous Dragon single-engine fighters prominently since 2018. The latest J-10C model is comparable with modernized variants of the classic American F-16 Fighting Falcon tactical fighter with capabilities including beyond-visual-range engagement, precision air-to-ground strike, digital glass cockpit instruments, in-flight refueling and electronic warfare.

A new book by a Washington Post editor is doing it's best to demonize the idea that evil Republicans are being monsters for wanting the Supreme Court to interpret laws not make them. Democrats desperately need the Supreme Court to be our unelected rulers because none of the Democrats social agenda, from abortion for any reason at any time including shortly after birth to gay marriage, was passed by the democratic process. Every aspect of the Democrat's hedonistic morality were imposed by edicts from the Supreme Court. That's why they will do and say anything in order to keep the Sup... more »

On The Viability of Political Virtues

Unknown at The Verma Report - 14 hours ago
Machiavelli, in *The Prince* (Chapter 15), accepts that liberalism, compassion, honor, bravery, justness, humanity, affability, straightforwardness, prudence, religiousness, and so forth are some of the virtues that a prince (or political leader) can display. But he notes that virtuous politics can be successful only when men in the country are good. In case men are not good, it will be futile to hope that they should become good. When the national character is corrupt, virtuous politics will have a negative impact—the nation’s enemies may see virtuous politics as a sign of the gove... more »

Will There Be A Russian - U.S. Skirmish In Northeastern Syria?

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 14 hours ago
*Washington Post:* *Russia Encroaches on U.S. Stronghold in Syria, Threatening Conflict* Following the shakeup from the sudden U.S. retreat, major powers in northeast Syria have bolstered their forces and converged on a strategically critical area.

Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 14 hours ago
Jason Kenney has been railing against the federal government's equalization program. He claims that Alberta has been short changed and that Quebec is a provincial welfare bum. But he neglects a few facts. Alan Freeman writes: As Trevor Tombe, a University of Calgary economist points out, even with the fall in oil revenues, Alberta remains the richest province in the country by far. “Quebec gets equalization because they’re poorer across a number of metrics.” And that’s what equalization is there for, to try and equalize the ability of provinces to provide services to their populati... more »
