The Only Invasion Of The US From Latin America Is Part Of The Plot Of Season 5 Of "The Last Ship"
If you think there is *any* normative boundary Trump wouldn't smash through to get what he wants-- no matter how banal-- you haven't been paying attention or you haven't known Trump archetypes. I once worked for someone-- a multimillionaire many times over-- who got out of a taxi we were riding in and a dime dropped out of his pocket. A homeless person was laying on the sidewalk and thought my boss had thrown him the coin and grabbed-- at which point my boss started fighting with him. They wound up rolling around on the ground-- for a dime. Having known that guy for many decades, ... more »

Fighting Back Against The GOP's Big Pre-existing Conditions Lie
*Bryce will be a congressman for ALL people-- even if they wear suits* There's barely a red district in the country where the Republican incumbent isn't lying about healthcare. Regardless of their multiple votes to nullify protections for people with pre-existing conditions, they all claim the opposite. The *Texas Observer* noted this week that "a Texas lawsuit has put the ACA’s popular pre-existing conditions provision front and center ahead of midterms, to the chagrin of Republicans who have vehemently opposed the law for years." “Everyone agrees we’re going to protect pre-existi... more »

October 2018: Islamic State Expanding Operations In Iraq
(Iraqi News) The Islamic State appeared to enter into a new phase of its rebuilding in October 2018. First, during the winter of 2017 the group’s leadership told its followers to revert to an insurgency because it could no longer take the losses from conventional confrontations with the Iraqi forces and Coalition air strikes. There was then a period of residual violence during this transition until violence finally dipped. In the spring of 2018 incidents levelled off. Since then IS has reconstituted itself in central Iraq, controlling rural areas of Diyala, Kirkuk and Salahaddin. No... more »

The Navy Let Me Tour Its Most Deadly Aircraft Carrier Ever. Here's What I Experienced.
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) will represent the future of naval aviation and will be the most advanced and capable aircraft carrier ever built. *Entering the massive vessel via one of her three aircraft elevators—Nimitz-class ships have four—into her cavernous hangar bay, Ford’s interior looks similar to that of other carriers. However, whereas the Nimitz-class has three partitions in their hangar bays, the new CVN-78-class has only two in order to simplify maintenance.* The United States Navy will commission the first of a new generation of air... more »

Will Trump Invade Mexico?
Trump’s policy towards illegal immigration is intended to serve as a powerful deterrent.

The Power Of Lies
As the midterm elections come to an end, Paul Krugman writes that the Republicans are spouting what has become a cascade of lies: What are Republicans lying about? As I said, almost everything. But there are two big themes. They lie about their agenda, pretending that their policies would help the middle and working classes when they would, in fact, do the opposite. And they lie about the problems America faces, hyping an imaginary threat from scary dark-skinned people and, increasingly, attributing that threat to Jewish conspirators Both classes of lie are rooted in the real G.O.... more »

Trial Preview: Third Attempt to Convict Blackwater Guard for 2007 Massacre of Iraqi Civilians
On Monday, Nov. 5, the third criminal trial of Blackwater guard Nicholas Slatten for his role in the 2007 Nisour Square massacre begins in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before Judge Royce Lamberth.
