WTH – Was the mayor of Portland hiding in his closet yesterday?
BPR just sent out an article entitled “Antifa thugs knock man unconscious, attack young girl. Portland mayor declares ‘largely peaceful event’.” After several weeks of threats online by Antifa agitators concerning their disruption of yesterday’s peaceful assembly against the rise of violence, they followed through. Granted had the police not been out in full force and been prepared to confront, this would have been much, much worse. Still this SHOULD have been halted before it began and those on both sides with weapons (especially those hiding their faces) should have been arrested a... more »

The Washington Post Again Falsely Trumpets Global Warming Alarm
The August 14, 2019 Washington Post had a front page, above the fold article which continues to fill the entirety of pages A10 and A11: This article is also posted on-line here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/national/climate-environment/climate-change-america/?noredirect=on There is a salient bias exhibited here. The temperature change is measured from 1895 to 2018. Why is 1895 the starting time for that measurement? Because 1895 was a very cold year. Let us examine the average US temperature plot below by Statistica: The average temperature in 1895 was 50.34⁰F a... more »

U.S. Navy Wants To Build The World's Largest Robot Warship
*Popular Mechanics: **The U.S. Navy Wants To Build the World's Largest Robot Warship* The Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle will augment manned warships, providing extra sensors or firepower. The U.S. Navy is calling on industry to present ideas for its Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle (LUSV) ship. The Navy wants ten LUSV ships in five years. The ships would function as scouts for the main battle fleet, carrying sophisticated radar and sonars or floating magazines packing extra anti-air and cruise missiles. Above all, the ships will do what proponents call the “3D work”: dull, dirty,... more »
Obama Really, Really Wants To See Trump Defeated Next Year
When Glenn Thrush reported that Obama tried talking an increasingly less alert Biden out of jumping into the race for the Democratic nomination fearing his former VP could "damage his legacy," I wondered whose legacy that "his" referred to, Biden's or Obama's. "You don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t," Obama told him. Thrush reported that Obama has asked Biden staffers to make sure the gaffe-prone Biden-- who also has trouble sticking to the truth when cornered-- does not "damage his legacy" or "embarrass himself" during the campaign. The staffers have failed miserably an... more »

Oregon Mother Jailed for Recommending Non-Chemo Cancer Therapies for Daughter
Christina Dixon of Oregon is the mother of a now 13-year-old daughter with liver cancer. When Christina’s daughter was 11, she was rushed to Oregon Health and Science University due to excruciating pain, which was diagnosed as Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma, a rare kind of liver cancer that happens mainly in children.

In this episode of Reel Politik, Jack and Geraint pop along to the cemetery and dig up an old adversary: Harry's Place. Long time hangers-ons of the British left will remember the role this blog, now a shadow of what once was, had in drawing together the pro-war "left" before, during and after the Iraq War. They were self-appointed arbiters of political decency (hence the term, 'decents') who fulminated against anyone concerned with stopping the UK government's penchant for wars as well as critics of ... more »

Anti-Sex Trafficking Leader Speaks Out: ‘No Question’ Trump’s Done More Than Other Presidents Western Journal Joe Saunders August 11, 2019 Here’s a perspective you’ll never hear from the mainstream media in its relentless attacks on President Donald Trump.

Keynes’ Understated Criticism of FDR’s New Deal
One main component of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal was the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), which cartelized hundreds of American industries.

There Is Only 1 Way to Save the Aircraft Carrier from the 'Scraper': Study Battleships
*James Holmes* *Security, * History could help. *The reciprocal is that navies tend to see new, experimental ships as fleet auxiliaries—as assets that help the existing fleet execute what it already does, only better. Early on, for instance, naval officers considered the submarine an adjunct to the battle fleet. Aircraft carriers and their air wings were "the eyes of the fleet," scouting and screening for battleships, rather than offensive weapons in their own right. The dreadnought thus lingered on long after its successor, the flattop, hove into view. (Today the U.S. Navy may... more »
FAIL: Why the Biggest Battleship Battle of All-Time Decided Nothing
*Robert Farley* *Security, * What if Germany had won the Battle of Jutland? *It helps to win battles, and the Germans would undoubtedly have derived some benefit from defeating the Royal Navy at Jutland. However, the Reich had much bigger maritime problems than the Grand Fleet alone; its disadvantageous geographic position made it difficult for Germany to take access international markets even under the best wartime conditions. Moreover, while Great Britain’s international position meant that it had responsibilities around the world, it could also draw on more global resources,... more »
Battleship Battle of Surigao Strait: How the U.S. Navy Avenged Pearl Harbor

Arunta launched four torpedoes at a range of 6,500 yards. All four missed. Beale fired five torpedoes at 6,800 yards. These missed as well. Killen had better luck, firing five torpedoes at Yamashiro and hitting her once. Killen’s captain, Commander H.G. Corey, had been at Pearl Harbor and must have taken pleasure in torpedoing one of the enemy’s battleships. The second torpedo hit on Yamashiro slowed ... more »

Colorado Senator Cory Gardner is widely considered the most vulnerable Republican up for reelection. And there are currently 13 Democrats-- of all stripes-- running for the nomination to take him on.

There is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible.

BWorld 359, Why is Philippines’ GDP growth decelerating?
* My column in BusinessWorld on August 13, 2019. The Philippines’ GDP growth over the past 18 years has a beautiful and not-so beautiful story. Accelerating from 2001 to 2015, then decelerating lately: 6.9% in 2016, 6.7% in 2017, 6.2% in 2018, 5.6% in 2019’s 1st quarter (Q1), then 5.5% in Q2. Why? For brevity’s sake, we limit the possible factors to only two — external and internal factors. For external, we compare the Philippines’ growth with Asia’s big economies plus the US. For internal factors, we check the growth rates of GDP’s three components on the demand side: household c... more »
