*El Paso: This Town Is Proof That Trump's Wall Can Work* by Paul Sperry "When charges of “racism” and “xenophobia” fail, Democrats’ fallback argument against President Trump’s proposed border wall is that it simply “won’t work,” so why waste billions building it? Tell that to the residents of El Paso, Texas.

Why Hasn't There Been A Nuclear War?
*Amos Zeeberg, Nautilus:* *Why Hasn’t the World Been Destroyed in a Nuclear War Yet?* When opposing nations gained access to nuclear weapons, it fundamentally changed the logic of war.

Here's Who Would Win Between Nazi Germany's Battleship Bismarck and Japan's Monster Yamato
*Robert Farley* *Security, * It would be a battle for the ages. *Before long, the Japanese begin to reply with their 18.1” guns. Both the Germans and the Japanese have excellent fire control, but the contest is unequal.

Leftist Toilet Mouths Condemn Trump as They Corrupt Nation

*MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 2018Chotiner and Sullivan on Trump and mental illness:* In our current state of evolution, are we humans capable of conducting a serious discussion? More and more, we'd have to say the answer seems to be no. Consider this discussion at Slate, in which Isaac Chotiner asks the Washington Post's Margaret Sullivan about the wisdom of discussing the possibility that Donald J. Trump may be in the grip of some form of "mental illness." In our view, Trump has behaved so strangely for such a long time that the question can't sensibly be avoided.

Norway Announces Total Ban on Fur Farming
Almost a million foxes and mink are intensively bred and killed for their fur on Norway's 340 fur farms every year. Norway is now set to become the 14th European country to ban all fur farming - a sign that fur is out of fashion even in a nation that was once the world's top producer of fox pelts. It will spare animals who would otherwise spend their lives in cramped barren cages and suffer agonising deaths by gassing or electrocution, the Humane Society International, which campaigns against the fur trade, said. The ban must now be voted on in Parliament, but the majority of the ... more »

Earmarks Are Not the Problem
[image: undefined] Last week President Trump urged Congress to reassert its constitutional authority to direct how federal agencies spend taxpayer dollars. Ironically, many constitutional conservatives and libertarians disagree with the president. The reason is, President Trump wants Congress to reassert its authority by bringing back earmarks.

Congress ended the practice of earmarks several years ago after a public out... more »
