Democrat Dreams
*Hubris of the Obamanation* The Obama Administration sent spies into the Trump campaign. They thought Hillary Clinton would be president and none of these abuses would be discovered. The FBI's 'insurance policy' to unseat President Trump didn't work. Vice President Joe Biden was aware of this and that awareness could land him in custody before he can be a challenger in 2020 (in addition to the other scandals he had a hand in.) It's coming out. CNN and MSNBC will deny it, but if the ratings matter, not much of anybody watches those discredited news outlets anymore. *Who Will Save th... more »

Crossing a Cyber Rubicon? Overreactions to the IDF’s Strike on the Hamas Cyber Facility
Amid a massive exchange of rocket fire and airstrikes between Israel and both Hamas and Islamic Jihad this weekend, Hamas attempted a cyber operation against an unspecified civilian target in Israel. The operation failed, and in its aftermath the Israel Defense Forces carried out an airstrike that destroyed the building housing Hamas’s cyber capability. Some observers are citing the incident as an important—and perhaps dangerous—precedent. Others are questioning the legality of the strike itself. Both these views are misplaced. *Context* Details remain sketchy, but we know this m... more »

Exit Polling, Vote Fraud & the 2020 Election
*Discrepancy between the reported Trump vote (red vertical line) and the unadjusted exit polls (green vertical line) in the 2016 North Carolina general election. If the actual Trump vote fell anywhere within the 95% confidence interval, Trump would have lost NC.* *by Thomas Neuburger* This is the beginning of an occasional series on vote fraud in the U.S., especially with respect to the treatment of Bernie Sanders in 2016 by the Democratic Party.

Crude Prices Continue To Rise In April Helping Iraq’s Revenues
(AFP) Iraq witnessed the fourth straight month that prices for its crude continued to rise. Fears of a global recession have apparently subsided and the Trump administration’s threats to no longer give waivers to countries buying Iranian oil helped prices creep up in April. A barrel of Iraqi petroleum sold for $67.41 up from a low of $52.80 in December 2018. That earned Iraq $7.011 billion in April, the highest amount since October’s $7.9 billion. Iraq’s exports also increased in April. It exported an average of 3.466 million barrels a day up from 3.377 million in March. However th... more »

The Problem With Tax Credit Scholarships
The classic talking point for tax credit scholarships (yet another type of voucher) is that they don't actually take money away from public education. This is technically correct because the money never actually gets into the government's hands; instead of paying taxes, the contributor hands the money to their favorite charter or private school and gets credit for paying taxes. So does that take money away from education? Of course. Let's imagine a neighborhood in North Egg with ten households. Out of those households, there are five children who spend every Saturday cleaning up th... more »

Fracking is back on the agenda in Nova Scotia
To frack, or not to frack Nova Scotia? That seems to be the question. Again.

"$29 Trillion..."; A Comment
*"Good Riddance to a 'Nothing-Burger' Trade Deal"* by Charles Hugh Smith "China has expanded its domestic debt to fund its growth, much of which qualifies as malinvestment, creating financial vulnerabilities its government is anxious to mask." "As for the much-touted leverage of China's ownership of U.S. Treasuries, that's also a Nothing-Burger. China's stash of Treasuries has been around $1 trillion for many years. The Federal Reserve created $4 trillion out of thin air, and issued loans and guarantees of around *$29 trillion* in the Global Financial Meltdown. The Federal Reserve ... more »

Take Notice, America: Iran's Missiles Keep Getting Better and Better
*David Axe* *Security, * Here is what Tehran can do. *So the United States likely will continue threatening Iran, while Iran continues developing more and more powerful missiles.* Iran is continuing to develop increasingly long-range ballistic missiles -- and is firing some shorter-range missiles in combat -- despite demands from the U.S. government that the Islamic republic totally give up any weapons that could, in theory, carry a nuclear warhead. *(This first appeared late last year.)* On Sept. 8 and Oct. 1, 2018, Iran launched Zulfiqar, Quim-1 and Fateh-110 rockets at enem... more »
How Iran Could Strike the U.S. Military In a War (And It Won't Be Pretty)
*Harry J. Kazianis* *Security, * We explain it all. *America is sending bombers and an aircraft carrier battle group to the region.

Over the long term, the U.S.-Iranian struggle throughout the Middle East could very well be a mini-Thucydides trap, to steal the phrase from my beloved Har... more »

Turkey’s plans to purchase the Russian S-400 missile system marked a major shift in Ankara’s defense orientation, eliciting a sharp response from *Washington*. Nonetheless, the S-400 deal barely scratches the surface of the blooming Turkey-Russia defense relationship and the threat that it poses to NATO’s military coherence.

*Student Loan Forgiveness Is Not the Solution* The latest benefit scheme making the rounds in time for the elections is student loan forgiveness. Given the great debt burden on graduates, candidates are piling on the bandwagon to find a platform from which to show how benevolent they can be with taxpayers’ money.

Enlightenment Endangers Philosophy
Alcibiades Being Taught by Socrates by François-André Vincent (1776) Allan Bloom in his “Interpretative Essay,” (*The Republic of Plato*; Page 392) writes: “Socrates teaches that wisdom and political power are distinct. Their coming together can only be due to the coincidence that a man who is wise happens also to be a ruler, thus uniting the two things; nothing in their two natures leads the one to the other. Political power serves the passions or desires of the members of a city, and a multitude cannot philosophize. It may use the results of science or philosophy, but it will use ... more »
