We have nothing whatsoever in common
I've been thinking about the explosion of anger, vitriol, profanity - and, yes, grief - from the far-left, progressive wing of US politics over the confirmation of Justice Kavanaugh's appountment to the Supreme Court, and his swearing in over the weekend. This tweet from Caitie McCaffrey, whom I understand is a senior employee at Microsoft's Azure, may as well speak for all of them.

Killing Terrorists to Avoid Another 9-11?
Following the terrorist plots in 2001 that brought down the World Trade Center, left the Pentagon smoldering, and killed thousands of people, the U. S. government acted swiftly to put in place measures to target and take out the terrorists who masterminded and enabled the mass destruction.

In his *Inaugural Dissertation* of 1770, Immanuel Kant denies the realty of time and space and of temporal and spatial form.

It is the subjective condition necessary by the nature of the human mind for coordinating any sensible objects among themselves by a certain law; time is a *pure intuition*. *Space is not something objective and real*, neither substance, nor accident, nor relation; but subjective and ideal, arising by fixed law from the nature of the mind like an out... more »
Disaster: What Happens When a Russian Nuclear Submarine Slams into a U.S. Sub
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * At 8:16, something massive struck the 110-meter long Baton Rouge from below, scratching the nuclear-powered submarine’s hull and causing tears in its port ballast tank. *The Baton Rouge surely did not use active sonar so as to remain undetected. Nor did it detect active sonar from the Kostroma. Thus, neither vessel was using active sonar, and their passive sonars were likely not strong enough to detect the other in the noisy shallows.* It’s tempting to think of sonar as a sort of radar that works underwater.

Russia’s S-300 vs. Israel’s new F-35 in Syria: Who wins in a shootout?
Even without the full Block 3F capability immediately available, Tel Aviv’s F-35 fleet would offer the Israel Defense Force a potent capability to strike against Syria’s newly acquired S-300s, certainly a better capability than offered by any conventional fighter. However, there is little prospect that Israel would attack those batteries while the Russians still more or less have those weapons under their direct control.

Susan Collins (R-Maine), claiming the lawmaker has “betrayed women across this country.” Rice first teased her interest with a one-word response — “Me” — to a question on Twitter last week about who wants to run for Senate in Maine when Collins’s seat is on the ballot in 2020.

NAFTA 2.0: Free Trade or Central Planning?

For example, under the USMCA’s “rules of origin,” at least 75 percent of a car’s parts must be from the US, Canada, or Mexico in order to avoid tariffs. This is protectionism designed to raise prices of cars using materials from outside North America. The USMCA also ... more »

The Final Truth of Russia-gate
[image: undefined] The conspiracy to overthrow a sitting US President extends far beyond our own “Deep State.” As I’ve been saying in this space for quite some time, it’s been an international team effort from the beginning.

While US intelligence officials were expected to oppose the move, “Trump was also swayed ... more »

Contrasting in color and orientation, NGC 5965 is nearly edge-on to our line of sight and dominated by yellow hues, while bluish NGC 5963 is closer to face-on. Of course, even in this well-framed cosmic snapshot the scene is invaded by other galaxies, including small elliptical NGC 5969 at the lower left. * Click image for larger size.* Brighter, spiky stars in our own Milky Way are scattered through the foreground. Though they seem to be close and of similar size, gala... more »
