How important will blockchain be to the world's economy?
First off, it applies to all potential economic transactions globally. It eliminates the whole back room cost structure we are all familiar with and does so globally. That means it will become possible to buy a property in any country and have it all settle without fuss. With those costs evaporating, the demand for blockchain will make it all inevitable.

That capacity to transport tons of produce makes all forms of food novelty a worthwhile premium product in the global market. This is a great story. *Decades ago, he stole a tree branch.

How in hell is it possible to be political and also anti American? Yet the masters of the Democrats appear to be pushing such a narrative. So who are those masters?

North Carolina-- Mucho Importante
*Thom Tillis is WAY too scared to ever criticize Trump again* There will be a huge focus on North Carolina next year. First of all it's a swing state that Obama won in 2008 and where Trump is underwater in polling now (-3 according to the June Morning Consult update). There's virtually no path to victory for Trump without North Carolina's 15 electoral votes. He's flying there for one of his hate rallies tomorrow. And then there's a Senate election, with Republican incumbent Thom Tillis widely considered vulnerable. The last statewide election (2017) was won by Democrat, now-Governor... more »

Can Russia and America Avoid a New Nuclear Arms Race?
*David Axe* *Security, * Then New Start must get an extension. Delegations from the United States and Russia plan to meet in Geneva in mid-July 2019 to begin discussing a possible extension of the New START treaty, one of the major arms-control accords limiting the size and power and the U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals.

*"What Was It All For: * *Veterans Have Finally Turned On America's Endless Wars"* by Danny Sjursen It is undoubtedly my favorite part of every wedding.

The setting was Baghdad, Iraq, at the start of the "surge" and the climax... more »

Reuters *National Interest:* *Navy Nightmare: America's Carriers Are in Trouble in the Next Great War* Here's why.

Still, Hammes stands by his analysis of the carriers’ vulnerability, noting their inability to effectively counter swarm tactics, their diminishing value as a military deterrent, and the difficulty o... more »
Further reflections on Super
It is difficult not to agree with most of what David Super says in his typically thoughtful post. We *are *a fundamentally divided, highly polarized country. Most, even if not all, of the dreadful people in public office were elected in fair elections. The most shocking single statistic is that even now, when there is shockingly little new to learn about Donald Trump (save the extent of his indebtedness to Russian financiers), at least 40% of our fellow Americans support this ignorant and malevolent lout. I think that a fairer electoral system, including one that dispensed with t... more »
