Is Trump Re-Sparking Anti-Semitism Among American Evangelicals?

In a conflict between a free nation and a totalitarian nation, the first wins the military victory and the second wins the ideological victory. People in totalitarian nations have an immense devotion to their culture—instead of learning anything from the free nation, they will succ... more »

A Gun Expert Built for Us the Army's New Killer Rifle (Or What It Should Be)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Here is what he came up with. *One of the best things about our weapon design is that it’s actually the M4 carbine! The U.S. Army could have this new carbine by replacing the upper receiver on existing M4s with a HK 416 upper receiver chambered in 6.5-millimeter Grendel. This recycles at least half of the carbine, saving acquisition costs over buying an entirely new weapon. The M5 externally would look almost identical to the M4.* The U.S. Army is looking for a new weapon for infantry troops. After a half century of using the M16/M4 carbine serie... more »

"The vast gulf that separates activist politics from real life seems to be growing. Leading politicians portray a population cowering in fear, seething with resentment, obsessed with inequity, longing for a time gone by… and begging politicians for the strength and vision to change things. Yet in the US of 2016, once we turn off the media and shut down their voices, we discover a different reality all around us..." #QotD

There are left and right wing versions of this story, but each portray a population cowering in fear, seething with resentment, obsessed with inequity, longing for a time gone by… and begging politicians for the strength and vision to change things. ... more »
"This was how mortals found fame, I thought. Through practise and diligence... But gods are born of ichor and nectar, their excellences already bursting from their fingertips. So they find their fame by proving what they can mar"
*"This was how mortals found fame, I thought. Through practise and diligence, tending their skills like gardens until they glowed beneath the sun. But gods are born of ichor and nectar, their excellences already bursting from their fingertips. So they find their fame by proving what they can mar: destroying cities, starting wars, breeding plagues and monsters. All that smoke and savour rising so delicately from our altars. It leaves only ash behind."* ~ Madeline Miller, from her novel *Circe* . Content is copyright PC.BlogSpot.Com © Permission to republish is granted, w... more »
