"It will scarcely be necessary to demonstrate the beneficial tendency of free trade in general, or to prove that it is for the interest of a nation to purchase its commodities where they are cheap, and not where they are dear. Self-evident as this proposition may appear, it has had to make its way against all the resistance which strong interests and still stronger prejudices could oppose to it." #QotD
*"It will scarcely, we imagine, be any longer deemed necessary to demonstrate the beneficial tendency of free trade in general, or to prove that it is for the interest of a nation to purchase its commodities where they are cheap, and not where they are dear. Self-evident as this proposition may appear, it is one of the most modern of all modern discoveries, and has had to make its way against all the resistance which strong interests and still stronger prejudices could oppose to it."* ~ John Stuart Mill, from his 1825 essay “The Corn Laws" (reprinted in Essays on Economics and So... more »
Paper Does NOT Mean 88% Of All Large Freshwater Creatures Are Gone - Figure Emphasizes Impacts On Tiny Populations
These "Living Planet Index" population figures are potentially confusing if you don't know how to read them and they have lead to many mistaken media stories.It does not mean that there are 88% less total numbers of large animals in our rivers and streams. We do not risk a world without salmon, hippos, beavers or crocodiles. Many outlets also ran it as a story about a greatly increased extinction risk for these animals. They did not even assess extinction risks and nothing in this report overrides the work of the IUCN red list. read more

Don't Have Billions for F-35s? Check Out the Deadly Eurofighter
*Robert Farley* *Security, * It can do some serious damage. *The Typhoon is subject to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) restrictions, because it contains certain elements of US technology. However, the aircraft has seen success mainly in the Middle East, where it currently serves in the Royal Saudi Air Force. Oman and Kuwait have also arranged for purchase of the Typhoon, and Eurofighter continues to pursue bids with other Middle Eastern countries.* The Eurofighter Typhoon has joined the Dassault Rafale, the Saab Gripen, and the Sukhoi “Flanker” in pursuit of a ... more »
Thanks, Russia: How China Got the Technology to Build Aircraft Carriers
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * And that's not all. *The Liaoning is hardly equal to a U.S. supercarrier—in addition to its smaller air wing and lack of a nuclear power plant, its steam turbines are prone to breaking down and the ski-jump deck limits the fuel and weapons load its fighters can carry. However, it afforded China a leap forward in its naval construction program—which now includes five more carriers in the coming decade of increasing planned capability. According to Xu Zengping, a naval officer told him that the Varyag saved China fifteen years of research and devel... more »

My Experience at the Border-- Guest Post by Kara Eastman
For the past couple of years, my half-brother, an interpreter for the federal criminal court system in Las Cruces, New Mexico, has been telling me about devastating policy and procedural changes around immigration. Prior to the election of our current president, he had not seen children separated from their parents and guardians at the border. He had not seen so many people seeking asylum in the U.S. denied. And he had not seen so many people jailed for 30, 40, 50 days to then be returned to their countries of origin. [image: Goal Thermometer]I decided to go to three cities that... more »

Racism – Trendy and Trite
Hat tip to ToNY! This is a word/term that “sticks in my craw” as we southerners say. It is way over-used and definitely not well understood. I thought about the topic the other day as we noted the Leftist Democrats once again attacking Trump and anyone they choose to disagree with — which is everyone not in their paranoid, coprolalic, mentally-deranged, possibly schizophrenic-related cliques. –##– RACISM defined: (1) prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior. (2) the belief that all membe... more »
FACT: Russia Wanted to Build the Ultimate Battleship Fleet
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * It was never meant to be. *The plan was doomed to failure. The Soviet Union never had much large-shipbuilding capacity, and developing such capability had been delayed by the Great Patriotic War. Furthermore, the war had done great damage to the country’s industrial capacity, which needed replacing. There were only so many resources to go around, and gradually the Soviet Union scaled back plans for a grand surface fleet. The 75,000 battleships were never constructed, and only two of the seven battlecruisers began construction—none were ever actually... more »
See This Submarine Photo? It's How America Would Crush China in a War
*Ben Ho Wan Beng* *Security, * The Ohio SSGN is arguably the ideal counter–A2/AD naval platform in the U.S. arsenal. *Hypothetically, if Capitol Hill made the notional decision to begin such a conversion tomorrow, the two Ohio boomers next in line to be reconfigured—USS Henry M. Jackson (SSBN-730) and USS Alabama (SSBN-731)—will begin their lives as SSGNs only in the period 2018–19. as the conversion process takes two to three years. Given that these two submarines are slated to retire in 2026 and 2027, they will thus serve as SSGNs for less than a decade. Such a decision simply... more »

Climate Tricks 84, 97% climate consensus in Sicily
The UN, Al Gore, WWF, etc. repeatedly use the "97% consensus" by scientists of man-made warming. They should refer to themselves, 97-100% of folks like Al Gore, Obama, di Caprio, Prince Harry, Katy Perry, have a consensus, and ALL of them are “scientists.” These news reports were published mostly on July 31, 2019.

And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep!

“5 Things You Should Realize About Fear”
*“5 Things You Should Realize About Fear”* by Declan O Flaherty *“1.* Thoughts motivated by fear are based around an imaginary reality. We don’t know for sure that an outcome is going to happen the way our doubtful mind tells us it will, so it’s fair to assume these thoughts can’t possibly be true until we actually push through and see for ourselves. Accepting our fearful thoughts as true creates a limited consciousness, letting them pass by leads us to experience the ACTUAL truth. *2. *The cure for fear is to experience the thoughts and physical sensations in that moment.

"We Shall Endure..."
“We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure.” - Cesar Chavez “Despair means hopelessness. When you don't see any ray of hope, all doors seem closed to you, you experience despair. Despair kills all hope inside a human being. To kill the feeling of despair, one needs to move on and accept the reality. Action is the antidote or remedy to kill the feeling of despair and nip it in the bud. In the words of William Cowper, “Absence from whom we love is worse than death; and frustrates hope severer than despair.” Failure, heartbreak,... more »

*Michael Peck* *Security, * An amazing weapon--on paper. *The Long Lance was a devastating weapon, but only at a given time and under a unique set of conditions: Primitive U.S. radar versus sharp-eyed Japanese lookouts, inexperienced American crews pitted against well-trained Japanese sailors, poor U.S. tactics contrasted with Japanese night fighting expertise, and close-quarters surface combat in confined island waters.* When U.S. Navy warships began exploding in the middle of the night, America realized it had a problem.

In 1988, Military Experts 'Fought' a Simulated World War III in Asia. Millions Died.
*Robert Farley* *Security, * Thank god it was a simulation. *The United States took a more aggressive stance in the 1988 wargame. Instead of waiting for a Soviet attack, Washington immediately began air and unconventional offensives against installations in the Soviet Far East, designed to decimate Soviet air defenses and threaten the survival of military-industrial installations. For their part, the Soviets hoped that a reticent military stance and a diplomatic offensive could keep Japan out of the war. This gambit succeeded to a point, as the Japanese suspended active militar... more »

See This Photo? Meet the Deadliest Fighter Plane of World War II
*Warfare History Network* *History, * Any guesses? *By the end of 1942, the FW-190 was fighting in North Africa, on the Eastern Front, and in Western Europe. In the Soviet Union, the FW-190 was effective in low-flying ground attacks on vehicle convoys and tanks. In this theater, the FW-190 carried 250- and 500-pound bombs, either of which could knock out a tank. One major issue on the Eastern Front was keeping the FW-190s and other aircraft supplied. This was at a time when many of the planes were flying up to eight sorties a day. On the Eastern Front, the FW-190’s reliable air... more »
BANG: 5 Super Weapons That Won World War II for America
