NO ENEMIES ON THE RIGHT, ESPECIALLY NOW
Megan McArdle thinks Senate Republicans might abandon President Trump, under certain circumstances: ... if public opinion turns in favor of impeachment, the Republican senators currently muttering “Nothing to see here, move along” may easily find their “questions” about his “troubling” behavior ripening into a firm belief that the president needs to go. Trump will have no party loyalty or longstanding relationships to fall back on; if voters are on board, Republicans will defenestrate Trump with great speed and greater joy. For that to happen, though, a clear majority of the public ... more »

Dems Count on Media to Muddy The Waters Leading into Their Impeachment Gamble
Journalists use the tool of "anonymous sources" to push out stories of dubious repute, to push agendas, and do the bidding of their chosen political party. They hide behind the first amendment and defend the practice by saying it’s the only way you can get people to talk. But there are two major problems with this: The first is that, by definition, a person who needs anonymity to be able to talk is probably not supposed to be talking, which means he or she is betraying someone else’s trust or privacy by doing so. The second is that, if we don’t know who the journalist’s source is ... more »

Death by F-35: Is China's Prized J-10 Fighter Now Hopelessly Out-Of-Date?
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Asia* [image: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1e/e5/56/1ee556549f0d29abaa791fed18157793.jpg] It doesn't look good for Beijing. *Key point:* The J-10 has fallen a bit behind its American counterparts, but still packs a punch. In the 1990s, China introduced its answer to the MiG-29 and F-16. The J-10 was a light single-seat multirole aircraft meant to replace older J-7 and J-8 aircraft as the bulk of forces a possible adversary would meet. When China started to reopen itself to the world in the 1980s, the PLAAF realized how obsolete its fleet of J-7 and ... more »

Wikipedia Editor Scrubs Citations to The New American from Hunter Biden Page
[image: wikipedia-editor-scrubs-citations-to-the-new-american-from-hunter-biden-page] In an age of seemingly limitless access to information, there is a strange paradox: The “gatekeepers” at major tech companies and platforms routinely censor almost any point of view that is out of sync with their own.

*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Europe* [image: By Zachi Evenor - Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/zachievenor/14110860471/, CC BY 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=32599395] Oh noes. *Key point:* Snipers are always trying to find ways to defeat body armor. The Russian involvement in Syria and Ukraine has provided a wealth of experience to the Russian military. One of the hallmarks of these engagements is the continued use of sniper tactics. As a result, the modern Russian sniper has evolved far beyond the relatively primitive technology used during the Cold W... more »
This Is Why Everyone Loves the Kel-Tec PMR-30
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://files.osgnetworks.tv/2/files/2018/07/KelTecPMR30.jpg] One of the best? *Key point:* The PMR-30 is very well designed for a high-capacity handgun, which is a feat unto itself. The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a rarity among handguns on the market today: a pistol with a magazine holding more than seventeen rounds. The PMR-30 actually holds thirty rounds and does so with some clever engineering that reduces it to a lightweight package attractive to casual shooters, backcountry shooters, or people interested in a firearm for home defense. ... more »

This year at Shot Show a new .22 LR target pistol was introduced: the Volquartsen Black Mamba. First and foremost, this pistol has an MSRP of nearly fifteen hundred dollars. Yes, you read that right. So why on earth would you want to spend that much money on a .22 pistol when there are numerous other .22 caliber pistols on the market available for only a fraction of that... more »
They Will Kill You: The Secrets of the Delta Force Revealed
*Joseph Trevithick* *Security, * One of America's top forces. *Key point: *Highly exclusive, highly trained. After more than three decades and dozens of Hollywood movies, the U.S. Army’s Delta Force—one of Washington’s premier specialized units—is still largely hidden from public view. The Pentagon offers few details about the group, its organization or even how many Delta “operators” there are in total. But the unit—technically the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment D—is a part of the Army, and has all the formal trappings that come along with being part of that bureauc... more »
How Russia Would Have Conquered France—One Week, More Than One Hundred Nukes
*Michael Peck* *History, Europe* An insane idea. *Key point: *Conquering a hole in the ground? The Nazis conquered France in six weeks, in one of the most spectacular military victories in history. Had the Soviet Union gone to war with the West in the early 1960s, it also planned to blitz France. But unlike the Germans, the Soviets planned to do it in a week, according to the Warsaw Pact's 1964 war plan, discovered in the military archives of the former Czechoslovakia. Was this an example of military might or military megalomania? For a system that professed not to believe in ... more »
Israel's Air Force Is Armed with F-35s and F-15s (And Now Supersonic Missiles)
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* How good are they? *Key Point:* Two Israeli companies together have tested a new, supersonic air-launched ballistic missile with a conventional warhead that could allow fighters to strike heavily-defended targets at long range. But the new Rampage ALBM isn’t without its drawbacks. The weapon is bulky. Its warhead is probably small compared to other missile types. Israel Aerospace Industries and Israel Military Industry Systems announced in June 2018 they had tested, from an F-16, the 15-feet-long, 1,200-pound, GPS-guided Rampage — and had alr... more »

Stanford: Opportunity And Testing Baloney
Look, it's not that I want everyone to stop any discussion of Big Standardized Test scores at all forever (okay, I might, but I recognize that I'm a radical in this issue and I also recognize that reasonable people may disagree with me). But what I really want everyone to stop pretending that the BS Test scores are an acceptable proxy for other factors. But here comes a new "data tool" from Stanford, and watch how EdWeek opens its piece about the new tool: *An interactive data tool from the Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford University creates the first database that att... more »

"The Average Man Is Worse off Today Than He Was in 1970"
*"The Average Man Is Worse off Today Than He Was in 1970"* By Bill Bonner DUBLIN, IRELAND – "Today we turn back to our grim work… connecting the dots… trying to figure out what is really going on. And we begin with George Gilder. We’ve been a Gilder fan for at least 40 years. His book, for example, "The Scandal of Money," is brilliant. It describes how the government has abused its power to provide money, using it instead to rip off the common laboring man in order to reward speculators and insiders.
