Endorsements-- Do They All Help?
*Is there any nice way to turn down an endorsement?* Obama's endorsement is going to be meaningful for the 2020 primary. If, as I think is likely, he decides *not* to endorse, it looks like a slap in the face to Status Quo Joe. If he endorses Biden, it will be something but... not *that* much because... didn't he have to? But if he endorses someone else-- whoa! Game-changer/ Imagine if he were to say, "It's time for some *real* change; I endorse Bernie (or Elizabeth Warren or Mayor Pete)... now that would be an endorsement that won an election. But, truthfully, if endorsements meant... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
A broad expanse of glowing gas and dust presents a bird-like visage to astronomers from planet Earth, suggesting its popular moniker - The Seagull Nebula. This portrait of the cosmic bird covers a 1.6 degree wide swath across the plane of the Milky Way, near the direction of Sirius, alpha star of the constellation Canis Major. * Click image for larger size.* Of course, the region includes objects with other catalog designations: notably NGC 2327, a compact, dusty emission region with an embedded massive star that forms the bird's head (aka the Parrot Nebula, above center). IC 2177 f... more »
"Have You Not Your Soul?"
"What matter if this base, unjust life Cast you naked and disarmed? If the ground breaks beneath your step, Have you not your soul? Your soul! You fly away, Escape to realms refined, Beyond all sadness and whimpering. Be like the bird which on frail branches balanced A moment sits and sings; He feels them tremble, but he sings unshaken, Knowing he has wings." - Victor Hugo
"The Majority Of Us..."
"The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act... more »
"Living In The Moment"
* "Living In The Moment"* By Frederic Premji "I was going through the excellent book by Eckhart Tolle, "The Power of Now" (which is one of my all time favorite books) and I came across an interesting passage about the amount of time and energy people spend on past and future events, instead of focusing on the present moment. Everyone agrees, that the older you get, the quicker life seems to be. I remember a summer in between school years when I was 10 years old felt like forever, while now, I don’t even see the summers go by. Think back about your time between grades 2-7 for exampl... more »
The Real 'Star Wars': How the U.S. Military Is Preparing for a Space War
*Kris Osborn, Warrior Maven* *Security, * [image: (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Areca T. Bell)] It would be epic. Staying ahead of space trends – from satellite manufacture to new launch options – is daunting. Six trends – at least – are at work. To what exact end they vector is unclear, but watching is important. These trends will affect American investment in space, national security, our modern standards of living, and our wider economy. First, heavy satellites are getting heavier, as more capability is attached to each satellite. Capabilities are commercial to national... more »
Armored Battle Royal: Russia Has Lots of Tanks But Which Is the Best?
*Michael Peck* *Security, * A tank commander gives us his call. Which tank does Russia love most? Russia operates a variety of tanks, including the T-72, T-80 and T-90. In an interview with the military newspaper *Red Star* [English translation here], Major General Sergey Kisel, commander of the First Guards Tank Army, offered his assessment of the various tanks operated by his unit. Kisel should know. The First Guard Tanks Army is arguably the most famous Russian armored formation, spearheading the Red Army’s drive to Berlin in 1945. Disbanded in 1998, it was reactivated in 201... more »
America Needs to Give Europe Some Tough Love
*James Jay Carafano* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] And here's a five-point plan to get there. There is nothing wrong with the transatlantic community that a little tough love cannot solve. The biggest threat to that community’s future won’t come from the Russians, the Middle East, or even Brussels. It’s places like Berlin and Paris that are the real problem. Unless these capitals start exercising sensible leadership, they only enable Vladimir Putin’s scheme to dismantle the transatlantic community, undermining the cohesion and future prosperity of the continent. Here is a ...more »
Why Iran Is So Afraid of a Free Iraq
*Michael Rubin* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The octogenarian Iraqi Grand Ayatollah remains an outsized political force that Iran must reckon with. On March 15, 2019, Hassan Rouhani became the first sitting president of the Islamic Republic of Iran to be received by Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, the most prominent source of emulation in the Shiite world. Iranian authorities sought to spin the meeting as “historic,” a sign of their reach, Shiite unity, and perhaps even Najaf’s endorsement for Iran’s clerical regime. *Iran*, for example, a state-owned newspaper, wrote: ... more »

The Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke, "A Walk"
*"A Walk"* "My eyes already touch the sunny hill. going far ahead of the road I have begun. So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp; it has inner light, even from a distance- and changes us, even if we do not reach it, into something else, which, hardly sensing it, we already are; a gesture waves us on answering our own wave... but what we feel is the wind in our faces." - Rainer Maria Rilke

"The Chief" -- What It Actually Tells Us About John Roberts's Vote in the Initial ACA Case
Almost everything I've read about Joan Biskupic's presentation of NFIB v. Sibelius asserts that it confirms the already established story that Chief Justice Roberts "switched" his vote in the case. Concluding her chapter, Biskupic does refer to Roberts's "change of heart." The account she actually offers, though, does not show a switch or a change of heart. (I take some satisfaction that her account mostly confirms the inferences I drew in *In the Balance* -- and that the divergences are mostly on matters that I speculated about but that she doesn't discuss.) Here's what Biskupic sa... more »

"Our Expectation..."
“It goes against the American storytelling grain to have someone in a situation he can't get out of, but I think this is very usual in life. There are people, particularly dumb people, who are in terrible trouble and never get out of it, because they're not intelligent enough. It strikes me as gruesome and comical that in our culture we have an expectation that man can always solve his problems. This is so untrue that it makes me want to cry — or laugh.” - Kurt Vonnegut
