Is John Bolton The New Dick Cheney?
Daniel McAdams at - 9 hours ago
President George W. Bush's vice president, Dick Cheney, is widely seen as
the "real" president when it came to implementing an aggressive,
neocon-approved foreign policy. Bush was seen as incurious putty in
Cheney's hands. Has Trump's National Security Advisor John Bolton taken on
that role in this Administration? Is Bolton the new Cheney? Tune in to
today's Liberty Report:
LAUSD District 5 Special Election morning after (March 6, 2019)
Looks like the two good candidates — Jackie Goldberg and Graciela Ortiz —
will be in the run-off, and the vile California Charter Schools Association
(CCSA) has no candidate to support in Los Angeles Unified School District
5. The CCSA shouldn’t be able to replace their convicted felon Refugio
“Ref” Rodriguez with another one of their own ever again.
Glad to see that right-wing privatizers Allison Greenwood Bajracharya,
Heather Repenning, and Ana Cubas are likely done. Cubas couldn’t even
manage 1,000 votes on Tuesday — I finished with 5,244 votes in 2013 #LAUSD

North Korea vs. a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier (Who Wins?)
*James Holmes*
*Security, *
You might be suprised.
*In short, how U.S. commanders arrange forces on the nautical chart and
sequence operations will help determine whether a carrier suffers assault
from North Korean warbirds, surface or subsurface craft, or antiship
missiles.*
Could North Korea’s armed forces sink an American aircraft carrier?
Yes—depending on what type of carrier they confront, how skillfully U.S.
Navy commanders employ the flattop and its consorts, how well North Korean
warriors know the tactical surroundings and, most crucially, whom fortune
favors in combat... more »
Stealth Strike: North Korea vs. America's F-22, F-35 and B-2 Bombers
*Dave Majumdar*
*Security, *
Who wins?
*If the Trump administration were to strike at North Korea, stealth
aircraft like the F-35 would have to eliminate North Korean air defenses
quickly. Pyongyang does not have the most modern of air defense systems—the
threat mostly comes from the sheer volume of older Soviet-built systems it
has available to it.*
In the event a war were to break out on the Korean peninsula, American
airpower would play a key role.
*(This first appeared in 2017.)*
Initially, the burden would likely fall to the Pentagon’s fleet of stealth
aircraft including... more »
This Fighter Jet Landed on a Navy Aircraft Carrier (But the Pilot Wasn't American)
*David Axe*
*Security, *
What is going on?
*The Finnish navy is small — some 3,500 sailors in total, 1,900 of them
conscripts. Neutral Finland’s primary threat comes from Russia, and
secondarily from Western countries that could occupy it to fight Russia,
making the army the primary means of territorial defense.*
On March 17, 2017 in the Atlantic, a fighter jet landed onto the
Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The only difference this
time was that the pilot was Finnish, not American.

In the race to be the Democrats' 2020 presidential nominee, Joe Biden is

The North Carolina Election Board has set May 14 as the day of the NC-09
congressional primary do-over. Election thief Mark Harris isn't running and
he's endorsed Boss Hogg (AKA- Stony Rushing). Candidate filing begins next
week and the whole process ends with a general election on September 10--
unless a primary runoff is needed, in which case the general election will
take place November 5. It isn't likely that any Democrat will challenge
Blue Dog Dan McCready in the primary, guaranteeing a lesser-of-two evils
general election, with McCready playing the role of lesser evil. So fa... more »

The legend of "El Familiar" is well known in the sugar mills of the

Maintenance On Turkish Pipeline Leads To Oil Export Decline For Iraq In February 2019
(Telegraph)
Iraq could have matched January’s export figure, but the Turkish pipeline
was down for a few days due to maintenance reducing February’s total. That
meant despite a slight price increase the country earned less revenue.
Iraq exported an average of 3.62 million barrels a day in February 2019.
That was down from January’s 3.649 million. The decline was mostly due to
the pipeline to Turkey being out of service for four days due to
maintenance. Otherwise the exports via Basra averaged 3.54 million barrels
in February and 3.55 million in January. Since December the flow of o... more »

*Washington Times: **Record arrests of Illegal-immigrant families on border
bolster Trump's emergency claim*
Illegal immigration continues to break records on the southwestern border —
and they’re not good ones.

percent in one month alone, setting an all-time record with more than
36,000 family members apprehended, Homeland Security officials announced

*Just last year, Captain James Fanell, a former director of intelligence
and information operations for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, warned Congress
about the need to track and deter Chinese nuclear-armed submarines.*

Could the F-15X Spell Doom for the F-35 Stealth Fighter?
*Sebastien Roblin*
*Security, *
Part of the F-15X’s appeal is that, unlike a brand-new airframe, it could
be inexpensively integrated into the air force’s pre-existing training and
logistical infrastructure for F-15s.
*Thus, F-15Xs could offer a cost-efficient means to sustain aircraft
inventory numbers and free stealth aircraft from routine missions so they
can concentrate on those which require their expensive capabilities.*

Someone's loss is always someone else's gain. As the US continues with its
de facto ban on import of crudes from Venezuela, the Latin American nation

Guaido challenged President Nicolas Maduro to proclaim himself as the

and simplify and shape. One way he shapes the past is to divide it into
