Senate Endorsement: Betsy Sweet To Replace Susan Collins In Maine
Imagine electing Bernie or Elizabeth in November-- and a stronger Democratic major in the House with more outstanding progressives like Mike Siegel, Dana Balter, J.D. Scholten, Marie Newman, Morgan Harper, Kara Eastman and Kim Williams. And then waking up on Wednesday and realizing congressional terrorist Mitch McConnell is still running the U.S. Senate, eager and able to block every single piece of legislation proposed by the president and passed by the House. The road to dislodging McConnell next year runs through Maine. And that means nominating a candidate who will give a mass... more »

Social services and prisons: is there a cause-and-effect relationship?
I was struck by two articles, written on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, that I came across within the past few days. I think that in isolation, each is self-explanatory; but when read together, the synergy between them is clear. The first article is from the New York Post, and is titled "Social services used to build character — now they blame society". “Those who have much to do with plans of human improvement,” [Charles Loring Brace] wrote, “see how superficial and comparatively useless all assistance or organization is which does not touch . . . the inner forces which ... more »

Houthis Have an Arsenal of Ballistic and Cruise Missiles (Some from North Korea)
*David Axe* *Security, * Know this: The Houthis inherited from the defunct Yemeni military a large number of Soviet-exported Scuds as well as North Korean-made Scuds called “Hwasong-6s. It’s possible the missile strikes that badly damaged a key Saudi oil facility on Sept. 14, 2019 involved far-flying drones firing small, guided munitions. Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have been at war with a Saudi-Emirati coalition since 2015, claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks on the Aramco sites, which lie around 800 miles from the Saudi Arabia-Yemen border.

Did U.S. Missile Defenses Fail During Saudi Oil Attack?
*David Axe* *Security, * One thing is clear: The attack revealed the limits of Saudi Arabia’s seemingly sophisticated air-defense system. Riyadh in recent years has spent billions of dollars building up six battalions of U.S.-made Patriot surface-to-air missiles and associated radars. The Patriots didn’t stop the recent attack. The missile strikes that badly damaged a key Saudi oil facility on Sept. 14, 2019 largely remain a mystery to the public. Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have been at war with a Saudi-Emirati coalition since 2015, claimed responsibility for the coordinated att... more »

Thirty years ago, if you looked at a picture of a multinational field exercise involving the United States and the UK, it would be fairly straightforward to tell apart the soldiers from America and the UK.

The jury is still out on how effective Russian and Syrian air defenses were in the April 18, 2018, missile strikes against Syria.

How the Legendary F-14 Tomcat Transformed into the F-14 "Bombcat"

The F-14 Tomcat was designed to defend the U.S. Navy’s fleets from practically every airborne threat. While it packed long range AIM-54 Phoenix missiles for defense against bombers carrying standoff missiles, it was no slouch in a dogfight either, although early versions were held back by its TF30 engines in that arena.

Obama Ordered FBI and CIA to Spy on Trump with Kevin Shipp
The sheer scale of this operation informs us of something else. We know that Obama was at best an asset of the DEEP STATE. All the people he involved were equally assets of the DEEP STATE.

Chinese Currency on Edge.
Fundamentally, Chinese capital reserves have been contracting steadily for the past three years. The knock on is that this forces a contraction of Chinese trade.
