How Much do the Chinese Fail to Comply with WTO?

David Henderson at Econlib - 11 hours ago
My biggest surprise in my economics reading last week. There are two aspects to the issue of China’s compliance with WTO obligations. First, when governments file WTO complaints against China, how does it respond in general and, more specifically, does it comply with WTO rulings against it? And second, does China comply with its WTO […] The post How Much do the Chinese Fail to Comply with WTO? appeared first on Econlib.

Deludedly Deeming Deregulation a Disaster

Bryan Caplan at Econlib - 11 hours ago
I posted this on Twitter two weeks ago. Suppose housing deregulation drastically increased housing supply. Housing prices fall 50%. Living space per capita doubles. What share of the U.S. population would nevertheless call housing deregulation a “disaster”? — Bryan Caplan (@bryan_caplan) November 13, 2019 The results were much as expected.

TRUMP TO VISIT BUCKINGHAM PALACE ON TUESDAY AMID GROWING SCANDALS, QUEEN SHOULD NOT WAIT ANY LONGER IN MY CASE

Meanwhile, over at ITV...

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 11 hours ago
ITV's political editor Robert Peston speaks (on Twitter): The Chief Rabbi’s intervention in the general election is without precedent. I find it heartbreaking, as a Jew, that the rabbi who by convention is seen as the figurehead of the Jewish community, feels compelled to write this about Labour and its leader. I am not making any kind of political statement here. What I am saying is our democracy has traditionally been a beacon of tolerance and understanding. The Chief Rabbi says our democracy has been poisoned. I hope his intervention is a catharsis that heals but I fear the wors... more »

SCOTUS rules against Alaska big money-in-politics controversy

Uriel at 'Nox & Friends - 11 hours ago
Thompson, et al, v Hebdon Alaska Public Office et al. remanded back to 9th Circuit by SCOTUS Why in the world is the Supreme Court deciding against the state’s right to limit outside campaign donations to its state-level elections? This appears at least on the surface to be something that should be regulated by the state for state purposes. The little-known court battle in Alaska is a challenge to big money-in-politics argument. Thompson v. Hebdon concerns the state’s campaign finance laws, which are some of the most stringent and progressive in the country. Although the decision on ... more »

As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - We cannot call ourselves virtuous if we're killing babies and sterilizing children with hormones and chemicals in the quest of a fantasy about sex. - We cannot call ourselves virtuous if we destroy dreams of our citizens because they won't submit to socialist big-think and jabberwocky. - We cannot call ourselves virtuous if we allow political reeducation camps to reside inside our colleges and universities. - We cann... more »

US Report Finds Continued Shortcomings In Iraqi Forces While Islamic State Disjointed

Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 11 hours ago
(Reuters) The U.S. inspector generals released the latest quarterly report on Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq and Syria. It noted continued short comings in the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) that have existed for years. On the other hand, the Islamic State is currently disjointed and unable to carry out large operations. It has plenty of opportunity to make a comeback however due to the problems with the government’s forces. The Iraqi forces cannot hold areas. The report said that the ISF is not large enough to maintain security in the country’s deserts and cleared areas such as ... more »

Democrat racism: Blacks can't be supporting Trump edition

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 11 hours ago
Two major legitimate polls, Rasmussen and Emerson, show Black support for Trump at an unbelievably high level of 34%. At least one #FakeNews person is saying that can't be true: Zero chance this is accurate. Zero.

An appeal

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 11 hours ago
Here's a curious thing that neither I nor Sue can work out. Can you, dear reader? As per Newssniffer, the BBC's Chief rabbi attacks Labour anti-Semitism record article underwent a startling sea-change around 10.30 this morning. Someone at the BBC went through the report and changed all eleven mentions of 'Chief Rabbi' to 'chief rabbi'. Neither Sue nor I can account for this abrupt but very thoroughgoing change from upper case to lower case. Can you?

Medicare for all failing bigly in Finland

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 11 hours ago
Bernie Sanders cites Finland as a great example of how Medicare for All would work; only problem is that it's failing horribly. Not only are patients forced to wait forever but there are shortages of doctors and the poor quality program is financially unsustainable. For example if a child gets sick Finns can't call up and make an appointment with their doctor; they have to go into the office and wait. The wait isn't to see the doctor but to see a nurse who decides if they are eligible to see the doctor. Read the whole Legal Insurrection article linked to above to get all the details.

Syria military presence risks US credibility with world community

David Banks, Professorial Lecturer of International Politics, American University School of International Service at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 11 hours ago
In northern Syria, Trump has caused U.S. allies and rivals to view American commitments in a new, uncertain light. Other countries may now shift to depend less on the U.S., weakening national power.

As Sue mentioned in the previous post, I sent her a rushed email this morning before heading off to work after reading both the BBC and Sky website's takes on the news that Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis had strongly denounced Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party for spreading the poison of antisemitism. I wrote: Comparing the BBC website report to Sky's, the BBC gives over more space to Labour than the Chief Rabbi while Sky's report is largely the views of the Chief Rabbi plus lots and lots of damning context - which the BBC avoids.

Is there a Pattern of Corruption?

LL at Virtual Mirage - 11 hours ago
There seems to be a lot of hash and trash flying around in the corrupt, lying mainstream media. CNN claims that Hunter Biden, far from being part of a corruption scheme is a victim. I didn't know that you could be white AND a victim, but maybe if you're in the political class it can happen. We could go back further, but we're talking about a corruption scheme with Vice President Joe Biden at its heart. During the summer of 2006, Hunter Biden and his borther, James Biden, purchased the Paradigm Global Advisors a hedge fund of sorts. According to an unnamed executive quoted in Politic... more »

The GOP Doesn't Have Enough Congresswomen. Lara Trump To The Rescue?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 12 hours ago
How smart could Lara Trump be? After all, she married the dumbest member of the Trump clan, their Fredo. Lara Yunaska was born in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1982, and has only ever lived in Manhattan and North Carolina... but she's been to the Hampton's frequently enough to have a general idea where Long Island is. Lucky, because there's a week-old rumor circulating that wife of Eric may run for Peter King's seat, now that he's retiring.

Iran Social Unrest: Protests and Carefully Planned Provocations

However, I did not expect unrest in Iran to take place while I was visiting the country. In retrospect, I am glad that I was here to be witness to these latest events.

Bernie Sanders is coming for your money with higher taxes

To pay for his big give away to people who don't work Medicare for All program Bernie Sanders is going to impose a 4% tax on everyone who makes more than $29,000 a year.

Keep in mind that Medicare for All is just one of the many huge give away programs Bernie is running on.

*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_aircraft_carrier_Admiral_Kuznetsov#/media/File:Admiral_Kuznetsov_aircraft_carrier.jpg] The Admiral Kuznetsov has seen better days. *Key Point:* Despite not sinking, the Russian ship continues to barely function. In December 2011, the Russian navy’s aging, poorly-maintained aircraft carrier *Admiral Kuznetsov* departed from its northern base on the troubled vessel’s fourth deployment to the Mediterranean Sea. True, the full-size carrier—which displaces 55,000 tons fully loaded—has a history of mechanic... more »

Dead: The U.S. Army's Newest Sniper Rifle Will Pick You Off at 1968 Feet

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Squad_Designated_Marksman_Rifle#/media/File:SquadDesignatedMarksmen.jpg] It's that good. *Key point:* These weapons of war will see active combat soon. The U.S. Army is preparing to issue thousands of new rifles to infantry squads across the service. The M110A1 Squad Designated Marksman Rifle (SDMR) is designed to extend the reach of infantry units largely equipped with short-barreled carbines. The SDMR will give one in nine infantrymen the ability to not only penetrate existing body ar... more »

Guns Not Fired: The Best Rifles That the U.S. Military Didn't Pick

Charlie Gao at The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmaLite_AR-10#/media/File:AR10_Armalite_vue_d%C3%A9mont%C3%A9e.jpg] Just because they didn't make the cut, doesn't mean they aren't great guns. *Key point:* Just because they weren't chosen to be used in the world's greatest military, doesn't mean they aren't great in their own way. The history of the U.S. military’s small arms adoption process is filled with “what ifs.” Plenty of great firearms have been turned down, from the FN FAL to the Savage Model 1907. Here are some of the best rifles that were trialed by t... more »

Is the Mighty NATO Alliance Dying? Three Ways It Can Be Saved

Daniel R. DePetris at The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, * The alliance will come together in London next month to commemorate its 70th birthday. Rather than delivering the same speeches that traditionally define these types of gatherings, the ministers in attendance should use the time as an opportunity to begin a discussion about dramatic reforms. Rarely has a single moment of honesty caused such trepidation in the halls of power in Europe. Sitting down with the *Economist* on November 7 for an exclusive interview, French President Emmanuel Macron talked about NATO as if it was a zombie slowly and min... more »

Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport II: The AR-15 Rifle You Need to Know About

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * This rifle is an ideal beginner’s gun, capable of being steadily upgraded as the user invariably explores the world of AR-15 aftermarket parts and accessories. The AR-15 type rifle is probably the most popular series of American rifles in a half-century. The proven, mature design, standardized feature set, and military-style cachet during a period of two simultaneous land wars combined to make the AR-15 the sporting rifle of the age. A vast and diverse market of AR-15s arose, aimed at high and low-end budgets. One rifle on the lower end of the budg... more »

VAT: This One Kind of Tax Could Help America's Massive Debt Problem

James Pethokoukis at The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*James Pethokoukis* *Economics, Americas* [image: Reuters] But is it a good idea? I don’t know what the US federal debt-to-GDP ratio will be in the year 2050. Probably much higher, I would guess. The Congressional Budget Office’s extended baseline forecast — basically current law extended forward — sees debt held by the public rising from 78 percent of GDP in 2019 to 144 percent by 2049. But there are budget scenarios would take it to over 200 percent of GDP. A higher tax burden seems inevitable. So the trick will be to raise more revenue, but do it in as economically efficient... more »

Conservatives and Innovation

Unknown at The Verma Report - 15 hours ago
A conservative will not surrender lightly a known good for an unknown better. His disposition is to enjoy what he has, instead of sacrificing the present joys for some kind of future happiness. He is not eager for change, but if change becomes imperative, he will prefer a slow change to a rapid one—preserving the appearance of continuity, while things are changing, is of critical importance to a conservative. In his essay, “On Being Conservative,” Michael Oakeshott notes that the conservatives prefer small and limited innovations to large and indefinite ones. Oakeshott's skepticism ... more »

Are the Claims in the New Film ‘The Irishman’ True?

jgoldsmith at Lawfare - 15 hours ago
Cover of Charles Brandt's book "I Heard You Paint Houses." Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” has received superb reviews during its limited theater run in advance of its streaming release on Netflix on Nov. 27. The film centers on Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran’s supposed “confession” to murdering former Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa. Several people, including myself, have argued that Sheeran’s confession to killing Hoffa—and many of the other things Sheeran supposedly confessed to as well—are bunk. Now many analyses of the movie are starting to question the veracity of the confess... more »
