Boeing's F-15X vs. Lockheed Martin's Stealth F-35: Let the Showdown Begin

I felt More Comfortable In Palestine Than In Israel. The People Were Friendlier. Does That Make Me An Antisemite?
Interesting that none of the presidential candidates have come to the
defense of Ilhan Omar except the one Jew in the race, the guy who
understands what antisemitism actually is (and isn't) and whose family was
nearly wiped out by it. Watch the video. That's Ilhan at the 11 minute
mark. If you think you hear any antisemitism, you are incorrect. These were
the answers to the question about antisemitism:
Rashida: This conversation about human rights for everyone, this convo
around what this looks like is not centered around hate, it’s actually
centered around love.

What’s the Real American Story? Donald Trump has perfected...
Robert Reich - 1 day ago
*What’s the Real American Story? *
Donald Trump has perfected the art of telling a fake story about America.
The only way to counter that is to tell the real story of America.
Trump’s story is by now familiar: he alone will rescue average Americans
from powerful alien forces – immigrants, foreign traders, foreign
politicians and their international agreements – that have undermined the
wellbeing of Americans.
These forces have been successful largely because Democrats, liberals,
“socialists,” cultural elites, the Washington establishment, the media and
“deep state” bureaucrats ha... more »

China's Defense Spending To Rise 7.5% In 2019 To $177.61 Billion
CNBC: *China's defense spending is growing more slowly. But that doesn't
mean military tensions are easing*
* China on Tuesday set its 2019 defense spending at 7.5 percent higher than
a year ago — or 1.19 trillion yuan ($177.61 billion).
* That's lower than the 8.1 percent growth in 2018 and far below
double-digit increases of previous years — though analysts have long
questioned how accurately the budget reflects actual spending.
* But slower growth in defense spending doesn't mean ongoing military
tensions with the U.S. have ceased, warned Timothy Heath, senior

*Stephen Bryen, Asia Times:* *It’s MiG-21 versus the F-16 over Kashmir*
