Does Trump Have Any Credibility Left? How About Paul Ryan?
Someone needs to explain to Señor Trumpanzee what "exonerated" and " vindicated" mean. No matter where you woke up Friday-- red state, blue state, purple state, there were no newspaper headlines talking about vindication. They were all talking about how we're saddled with a compulsive, manipulative liar in the White House. Even Karl Rove, in an OpEd for the *Wall Street Journal* took the opportunity to slam Trump this week-- as did widely-followed right-wing activist Erick Erickson. Trump, wrote Rove, "may have mastered the modes of communication, but not the substance, thereby sab... more »

The DUP should join a formal coalition with May
Corbyn's Labour Party has increased its power over the Parliament while the Conservatives have lost their majority in the U.K. elections. Some "overly enthusiastic" members of the Czech social democratic party have claimed that the Labour Party has basically won the elections. Well, not so fast. The resulting government may very well be more conservative than the "not so conservative" government of the Conservative Party's Theresa May has been so far. Why? Because the Democratic Unionist Party (the DUP) seems to be the only plausible ally that could allow May to form either a minor... more »

How Much Leverage Does China Have Over North Korea?
*Gordon G.

Whether China addresses those concerns or not, its leverage over Pyongyang is, in a word, overwhelming. The trend of thinking these days, both inside and outside China, is that Chinese influence over the Kim regime is limited.

Will this really happen? A defiant President Donald Trump said Friday he was willing to testify under oath about his conversations with James Comey....

If he does, and if anyone working for him has a sense of history, he could demand ... more »

His Balao-class submarine, the Segundo, had just picked up a large radar contact on the surface about 100 miles off Honshu, one of Japan’s home islands, heading south toward Tokyo. World War II in the Pacific had just ended, and the ensuing cease fire was in its 14th day.

American battleships, once expected to fight a decisive battle in the Pacific that would halt the Japanese Empire, were instead relegated to providing artillery support for island-hopping campaigns. Yet after the war America’s battleships would return, again and again, to do the one thing only battleships could do: bring the biggest guns around to bear on the enemy. The U.S.... more »
The Bat: The Father of America's Ship-Killer Missiles

Off the coast of Borneo, Japanese ships were attacked by U.S. Navy PB4Y Privateers (the naval version of the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber). But instead of regular bombs, the Privateers carried under each wing bulbous-nosed bombs with wings, as well as a double tail that gave it the look of a miniature B-24. Japanese sailors could only watch as these bombs—named the Bat—homed in on their ships. By 1945, antiship smart bombs w... more »
The Settled Science of Catastrophic Man-Made Global Warming Violates the Laws of Physics

He No Longer Knows When He's Lying
In a bizarre twist at the end of a very bizarre week, the Liar-in-Chief accused James Comey of lying. And he offered to testify under oath -- as if raising his hand would make a difference. Ezra Klein's conclusion is inescapable: The United States government cannot be trusted so long as Donald Trump runs it. That is the simple, chilling takeaway of James Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Kansas Republicans abandon Brownback; raise taxes over his veto
Remember Kansas's great tax-cutting experiment under Governor Sam Brownback? (Me, sarcastic?) As always in Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore La-La Land, cutting taxes leads to economic nirvana. Except when it doesn't, and it didn't in Kansas. I recently wrote about the idiocy of *Investor Business Daily*'s criticisms of California, and Paul Krugman carried the ball further, citing me and bringing in a comparison with Kansas (Brownback and Jerry Brown both took office in 2011). As Kansas cut taxes and California raised them, Kansas managed to raise employment by 5% from 2011 to 2017, w... more »

The U.S. Navy Has Big Plans to Replace the Tomahawk Cruise Missile
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * The United States Navy will keep the Tomahawk cruise missile in its inventory through 2040, but the service will start to develop a next-generation replacement weapon that will be able to strike targets both at sea and on land. In the meantime, the venerable cruise missile will receive an anti-ship capability—an ability that was lost when a ship-killing version of the Tomahawk was retired in the 1990s. “The first tenet of our plan is to sustain the Tomahawk cruise missile inventory through its anticipated service-life via a mid-life recertification p... more »

Election results 2017: Who are the Democratic Unionist Party? Per BBC News
I didn't think that the BBC would miss the opportunity to cast aspersions on the DUP and I wasn't disappointed. This BBC report http://www.bbc.com/news/election-2017-40217141 accuses them of being anti homosexuals, anti abortion and of having links to paramilitary groups. Oddly the BBC are not at all interested in reporting the links past and present between senior Labour Party figures and terrorists of both the IRA and the Islamist persuasion. Likewise being not 100% in favour of homosexuals puts the DUP beyond the pale but Islamists wanting to throw homosexuals off of buildings... more »

A 1000-Year-Old Nordic Spearhead Raises the Question - Were The Vikings in New York?
The provenance of this lonely viking spearhead is golden. It certainly supports the Kensington artifact as well. From this it becomes clear that viking traders penetrated the Great lakes region by way of the Hudson and surely the St Lawrence. There is zero indication of permanent settlement but that seems unlikely anyway when they had the entire Atlantic Coast to work with along with the Arctic and even the Pacific Northwest. What everyone fails to recall is that a viking long boat could be readily manhandled overland if it became useful. Hard work of course, but scouting a... more »

The home page of the BBC News website features a 'primer' on the Democratic Unionist Party for those outside Northern Ireland who don't know much about it. It's all very informative but it isn't very impartial.

Ready-To-Go Missile Containers: The Slick Idea That Could Give the U.S. Navy More Firepower
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * The U.S. Navy is unmatched, but not invulnerable. The fleet has been shrinking, stressing the force as sparkling new Chinese warships sail from the shipyards at a brisk pace. A more worrying problem is that American warships are outranged—often by large margins—by anti-ship missiles, such as those also in service with the Chinese navy. Growing the fleet is not so easy, either. A naval expansion takes years of planning, construction, trials and a great deal of resources. Though the Navy is now getting a boost in numbers, it’s a modest increase compa... more »

For their part, the Soviets fielded regiments of fifty-six-ton JS-2 heavy tanks. Against those, the America’s thirty-ton M-4 Sherman seemed downright puny.
