Why are Democrats so inconsistent—power. Michael Smith, guest blogger
How can one justify a city-wide ban on E-cigarettes and fund "safe injection sites" for drugs? How is it even remotely logical to ban cigarettes and promote legalization of marijuana? What sense does it make to ban private assistance to feed the homeless and then complain that there isn't enough funding for food programs for them? How can you argue for free healthcare for illegal non-citizens when American veterans can't get help? How can you argue that it is discriminatory to refuse to bake a cake for a same sex wedding but forcing a baker to do so against their will is not? ... more »

Washington’s Infatuation with the MEK
[image: undefined] Inarguably, Washington has a long history of supporting terrorists. As General William Odom, President Reagan’s former National Security Agency (NSA) Director wrote in his 2007 article “American Hegemony, How to Use It, How to Lose It”: “[T]errorism is not an enemy. It is a tactic. Because the United States itself has a long record of supporting terrorists and using terrorist tactics…”. Despite this long-standing use of tactic, there is no record of terrorists operating but a stone’s throw away from the White House. Nor has there been such brazen embrace of a t... more »

How America's F-22s (Now Near Iran) Could Strike If War Breaks Out
*Dario Leone* *Security, Middle East* The likely mission of the F-22 Raptors in the event of full-scale hostilities with Iran would be targeting Tehran’s surface-to-air missile batteries, especially the S-300 system, its best air defense.

Will A Court Allow Duncan Hunter To Avoid Prison Time In Return For Resigning From Congress? Darrell Issa Is Waiting
*Drunkin' Hunter & DJ Trumpanzee* Duncan Hunter and his wife misappropriated at least a quarter million dollars from campaign funds to use for their lavish lifestyle. Hunter has decided his best defense was to blame his wife for stealing the money without his knowledge. The problem with that strategy is that he was using some of the money to pay hookers/lobbyists and carry on affairs with various women. But his lawyers have come up with a way around that damning evidence of malfeasance. They’re asking the court to exclude the evidence that he was using the stolen funds during extram... more »

And before it started to descend from the height of noon, it leaned over and struck my shoulder as if with the flat of a sword, granting me honor and a task. The day's blow rang out, metallic- or it was I, a bell awakened, and what I heard was my whole self saying and singing what it knew: I can." ~ Denise Levertov

*“How Little Boys Learn To Be Little Men” * by David Cain “Even in the information age I still occasionally encounter an otherwise reasonable person who insists that men really do think about sex every seven seconds.

You can listen to the show here: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/18392071 I used the opportunity to reflect on the past shows and what was going on in the LTC Robert Friendworld of the UFO today. And I used the opportunity to mention the passing of retired Lieutenant Colonel Robert Friend. From ever... more »
The cheek of it!
A BBC 'public information announcement' on Radio 4 within the last hour ran as follows: In June 2020, the Government's funding for free TV licences for the over-75s comes to an end. From then anyone over 75 who receives pension credit will still be entitled to a free TV licence which the BBC will pay for. We're introducing this new scheme to help the poorest older pensioners while making sure we can continue to provide the best programmes and services for everyone. If you currently get a free TV licence you don't need to do anything yet. We'll be in touch before June 2020 to tell ... more »

Why the DMZ Meeting Between Trump and Kim Matters
*Devin Stewart* *Security, Asia* "The impromptu, unconventional meeting, which was partly initiated via Twitter, was significant because it can foster trust between the two leaders." President Trump met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Sunday and became the first sitting U.S. president to step foot into North Korea by stepping over the demarcation line at the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas. It was the third time Trump met Kim, and he took the opportunity to announce that U.S.-DPRK nuclear talks would resume. Kim and Trump also met privately for 50 minutes a... more »
This Picture Is History: Trump 'Visits' North Korea and Reboots Diplomacy
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, Asia* "The agreement to resume working-level talks breathes a little more life into a diplomatic process that was losing oxygen in the four months since the Hanoi summit. Where those talks go and whether the North Koreans will treat Stephen Biegun with even a smidgeon of seriousness is still to be determined. But at least a process is now resurrected." President Donald Trump’s visit to South Korea after the G-20 meeting in Osaka, Japan was supposed to be a quick check-in between friends. Trump would meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in to ... more »
Does Status Quo Joe Want Jamie Dimon As His Treasury Secretary? Bernie Doesn't
Jamie Dimon is the CEO and chairman of JPMorgan Chase, America’s biggest bank. His net worth is over a billion dollars. Th U.S. Treasury gave JPMorgan $25 billion in taxpayer money to keep the bak afloat in 2008 after Dimon had gambled in speculative mortgages. Many in the Obama administration urged him to appoint Dimon Treasury Secretary but he picked Timothy Geithner instead. Dimon had instant access to the Obama adminstration and he was their favorite bankster. But by 2012 he was describing himself as “barely a Democrat,” and certainly not a Bernie Sanders kind of Democrat. “I’... more »

There but for the Grace of the BBC...
Talking of news about the BBC, the* Mail on Sunday* had a rum story today headlined *Left-wing 're-education camp' is accused of training journalists to flood the BBC's airwaves with pro-Corbyn commentators*. The* MoS* reports that a far-left organisation called the New Economy Organisers Network (Neon) - seemingly a pro-Corbyn equivalent of Common Purpose - is training Corbynista pundits to appear on the media. "When they appear," the* MoS *says, "they rail against the ‘mainstream media’ and traditional capitalism, and are taught how to ‘swerve’ difficult questions". So far, ... more »
THE TIMES HATES THE DEMOCRATS WHO'VE CHALLENGED BIDEN BUT SEEMS FASCINATED BY A REPUBLICAN WHO TROLLED HIM
At *The New York Times*, it isn't just opinion writers -- Bret Stephens, David Brooks, Ross Douthat -- who despise the non-centrist Democrats in the 2020 presidential field. It's also -- unsurprisingly -- reporters such as Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin on the politics desk. The Democratic debates this past week provided the clearest evidence yet that many of the leading presidential candidates are breaking with the incremental politics of the Clinton and Obama eras, and are embracing sweeping liberal policy changes on some of the most charged public issues in American life, ev... more »

The Current Insanity and the Next World Paradigm
I have submitted the following comment to the American Thinker site, to an article on "America's detour from sanity": *The insanity has many roots, with origins at different times. I have understood, and been trying to inform others, that the Democrats have fully become "The Insane Left" (my term), prosecuting "The War of the Insane Left", only (!) since the election of Obama/Soetoro -- the "First Fake President" (more than, for example, the more widely proclaimed "First Black President") -- in 2008. The roots go back long before Obama, but the insanity flowered, full bloom or acros... more »
How Content Removal Might Help Terrorists
Photo Credit: Picture-Alliance/DPA/O. Berg via DW In recent years, counterterrorism policy has focused on making social media platforms hostile environments for terrorists and their sympathizers. From the German NetzDG law to the U.K.’s Online Harms White Paper, governments are making it clear that such content will not be tolerated. Platforms—and maybe even specific individuals—will be held accountable using a variety of carrot-and-stick approaches. Most social media platforms are complying, even if they are sometimes criticized for not being proactive enough. On its face, remova... more »
