Krugman savages Mister Trump's team!
*TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2019Discussing California's schools, the Times is just as bad:* In this morning's New York Times, Paul Krugman savages the economic team assembled by President Trump. He uses one word we ourselves would have skipped. That said, here's his basic assessment: KRUGMAN (1/15/19): [N]o man is an island, although Trump comes closer than most. You can’t fully make sense of his policy pratfalls without acknowledging the extraordinary quality of the people with whom he has surrounded himself. And by “extraordinary,” of course, I mean extraordinarily low quality. *Li... more »

Top 10 Reasons Not to Love NATO
[image: undefined] The New York Times loves NATO, but should you? Judging by comments in social media and the real world, millions of people in the United States have gone from having little or no opinion on NATO, or from opposing NATO as the world’s biggest military force responsible for disastrous wars in places like Afghanistan (for Democrats) or Libya (for Republicans), to believing NATO to be a tremendous force for good in the world. I believe this notion to be propped up by a series of misconceptions that stand in dire need of correction. *1. NATO is not a war-legalizing bod... more »
The Obama/New York Times Plot To Overthrow Trump
Another "blockbuster" report on Trump's "ties" to Russia has fizzled into nothingness, as the New York Times' piece over the weekend on an FBI counterintelligence investigation opened against the president was riddled with holes and absurdities. What came through loud and clear, however, was that Obama appointees and loyalists in the FBI and elsewhere in the deep state were determined to do everything in their power to overthrow a legally elected US president. Our take in today's Liberty Report...
Please, TSA Workers, Don’t Come Back
[image: undefined] Understandably, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees are no more enthusiastic about working when their paychecks are delayed than is anybody else on the planet.

But, isn't this an opportunity for us all? Given that the world is a better place when TSA employees and other government minions *don't* do their jobs, and some are already seeking alternative emplo... more »

F-22 vs. F-35: Which Stealth Fighter Wins in a Shootout?
*TNI Staff* *Security, * The U.S. Air Force’s original plan was for the F-22 to be its high-end air superiority fighter while the F-35 was designed to be primarily an air-to-ground strike aircraft, but one which could defend itself. *Key point: The answer is that the F-35 cannot match the F-22 as an air superiority fighter—it was never designed as such.* Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter—which is built in three versions—recently completed its developmental test phase and is operational with the U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps.

Helping Lebanon Succeed Is More Than About Countering Iran

As tensions increase on the Israeli-Lebanese border following the discovery of Hezbollah-built tunnels last month and with President Donald Trump announcing a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria, the possibility is growing that a confrontation with Iran may move from Syria to Lebanon. Lebanon is increasingly viewed within the prism of containing Iranian influence... more »
So why all the lies [about the wall] ?

*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The naïve assumption of interventionists that U.S.-orchestrated forcible regime change would usher in new, democratic political systems was evident in Iraq, Libya and Syria.

One is simply a knee-jerk (largely partisan) rejection of any policy Trump proposes on any issue, foreign or domestic. Another is policy inertia that makes it difficult... more »

Doesn't anyone find it odd that King got a high-profile, Republican-establishment primary challenger nearly two years before his next election, and just before the *Times* interview and his subsequent removal from his House committees by the party? Primary challengers in House races don't usually announce two years in advance -- hell, it... more »
Is American Resurgence Reshaping The World?
Youtube *Conrad Black, National Post: **America's resurgence is reshaping the world* *The U.S. is demonstrating almost effortlessly how illusory is the idea that any other country or group of countries can challenge its pre-eminence* Almost indiscernible in the endless tumult about President Donald Trump is the objective return of American might, right on our doorstep. A casual sampler of the Canadian, and even the American, media, might think that the United States was so far along in its decline that the entire process of government and normal public discourse had broken down in ... more »

Labour Slapped With Record Fine Over Inaccurate Donations per Guido Fawkes
'The Labour Party has been slapped with a record fine of £12,000 by the Electoral Commission for failing to declare its donations accurately. The Electoral Commission said it was the "highest fine we have issued for an offence of this kind" and added that "as a well-funded political party [Labour] should be able to meet its legal requirements". If this was the Tories or a pro-Brexit campaign it would be all over the media…' More here at Guido Fawkes https://order-order.com/2019/01/15/labour-slapped-record-fine-inaccurate-donations/ but obviously not a word about this news on the Lab... more »

RED ALERT! IF TSIPRAS WINS CONFIDENCE VOTE TOMORROW, LIKELY TO GET MACEDONIA NAME DEAL THROUGH
*From Sputniknews* *So you have to consider these two votes as a unit. Actually, for the second vote, for the ratification of the name of North Macedonia, the government there probably has more votes than the 151 votes that it needs for the confidence vote. It would not be a surprise if this number goes up to 155, let’s say, out of the 300 seats in the parliament.* https://sputniknews.com/analysis/201901151071479387-greece-macedonia-name-change-confidence-vote/

Russian Navy Will Soon Deploy 32 "Poseidon" Nuclear Drones Across 4 Submarines
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, Europe* How worried should the U.S. Navy be? The Russian Navy is on track to deploy up to 32 of its “Poseidon” thermonuclear drones across four submarines, according to Russian state media. Citing a military insider source, TASS reported earlier this week that "Two Poseidon-carrying submarines are expected to enter service with the Northern Fleet and the other two will join the Pacific Fleet. Each of the submarines will carry a maximum of eight drones and, therefore, the total number of Poseidons on combat duty may reach 32 vehicles." Poseidon is an... more »

A Disturbed Liar-- A Clinical Sociopath... And He'd Rather Destroy Us All Than Leave Us "Unprotected" By His Wall
Wikipedia has a simple explanation for projection-- one of the most obvious and clearest cornerstones of Trump's psychological makeup: "a defence mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting." Yesterday, Trump had been up and tweeting his nonsense about his vanity wall and his government shutdown for a couple ... more »

Almost half of California’s community college student population has taken advantage of the state’s California College Promise Grant since 1985, which covers all application fees.

Aristotle was Not a System-Builder
Plato (left) and Aristotle in Raphael's fresco, *The School of Athens*Aristotle is often seen as a system-builder. But he never attempted to create a system. He was a great thinker, he addresses a wide range of problems, but he philosophizes piecemeal and his philosophy is not free from internal contradictions. In fact, Aristotle does not boast of having said the final word on any branch of knowledge. Aristotelian scholar Johnathan Barnes points out that Aristotle’s philosophy is essentially *aporetic*, and that he was not a system-builder. Here’s an excerpt from Barnes's book *Ar... more »

Another great restaurant find
Miss D. and I have found several very good restaurants by sheer happenstance during our travels, and enjoyed them immensely. We ran into another one yesterday, on our way to Shreveport for a quick business trip. Scrumbscious Burgers & Pieshakes is in a shopping center in Forney, TX, a little to the east of Dallas, just off US Highway 80. Feeling hungry, we'd gotten off the highway and were idly glancing at restaurants as we drove through the parking area. The place caught our eye, and on a whim we decided to try it. We're glad we did! Scrumbscious is a family business, run by a... more »
