"Impeachment: What You Need to Know"
*"Impeachment: What You Need to Know"* by Jim Rickards "As we all know, impeachment talk is dominating the news. That's too bad, because there's no shortage of other critical news from Syria to Iran and Hong Kong. I don’t consider Friday’s “trade deal” critical news because it didn’t really accomplish much of anything and no progress was made on the key issues. But that aside, this is the bitterly partisan world we live in so we'll just have to get used to it. The Democrats seem to have gone through what physicists call a "phase transition." This is what happens when water turns to... more »

On the Fake Queen's Speech
It's just as well the Queen wasn't wearing the proper crown. After all, it wasn't a proper Queen's speech. Instead, thanks to Boris Johnson's disposal of his majority, what we were treated to was Queen-fronted party political broadcast on behalf of the Tory party. Which, despite its being a silly stunt in the grand scheme of things did furnish one service: it showed us what the next Conservative manifesto is going to be. Useful. The big ticket item of course, is Brexit. But with talks ongoing based on the current plan, we'll no doubt return to that soon enough. The second eye-catch... more »

Psych Tests Where You ‘Answer Without Thinking’ Promote Politically Correct Answers, Not Honest Ones
A new paper finds that instead of leading to more honest replies, presumably because people don't think about the response, time pressure questions actually increase the likelihood of socially desirable answers over honest ones. There’s a longstanding belief in the field of psychology that limiting the time subjects have to respond to questions will result in more honest answers. Certainly, many of us who have participated in personality tests have heard the directive to “say the first thing that comes to mind.” However, a recent study demonstrates that the quickest answer — especi... more »

Your History Book Failed: Why This World War II Battle Is NOT The Biggest Tank Battle
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Wrong. So wrong. *Key Point:* The hype about The Battle of Kursk is off the charts. The title of Martin Caidin's 1974 history of *the Battle of Kursk* is still evocative, with its imagery of Nazi Germany's vaunted Tiger tanks in flames. Tigers burning brightly are just one legend of the epic July 1943 battle between Germany and Russia. There are many more: The Greatest Tank Battle in History, the Turning Point of World War II, The Death Ride of the Panzers, Russian tanks ramming German tanks in a mechanized orgy of destruction....

Presidential 'debates' aren't debates at all – they're joint press conferences
John P. Koch, Senior Lecturer and Director of Debate, Vanderbilt University at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 10 hours ago
Debates may help voters identify which candidate shares their views but they do not help them think critically about those views. That's because presidential debates don't live up to their name.

Hong Kong
I realize that it's a 45 minute video, and that it was a Bloomberg production, but all that notwithstanding, THIS is an excellent briefing on the situation in Hong Kong. Senator Ted Cruz has come and gone from Hong Kong as part of his Asian fact finding tour, having been rebuffed by the wooden headed Hong Kong governor (handicapped, being born without a personality, as she surely was). The question remains whether Hong Kong will survive. The Old Hong Kong vanished when the British handed it over to the People's Republic of China, but there were whispers of that Old Hong Kong rema... more »

China's Missiles Could be a New 21st Century Kamikaze Weapon
*Michael Peck* *Security, * When most people think of a twenty-first-century successor to the kamikaze, they probably think of a suicide bomber. They might have it all wrong. *Key Point:* Should conflict erupt between America and China, or should U.S. vessels face advanced antiship missiles in a flashpoint like the Persian Gulf, I suspect the most profound impact of these weapons will be psychological. Whether these missiles sink ships, or whether U.S. defenses shoot them down, I think what will dominate the headlines and public opinion will be stories of missiles streaking towa... more »

Gov’t grants used to pay for lawsuits against Trump admin.
It is bad enough that the Trump administration and taxpayers are forced to endure day after day of being told some activist group has filed some lawsuit in court in support of the Anti government socialists and hate anti-Trump syndrome. But, to have those lawsuits paid for by government grants at the expense of taxpayers who may not have wanted to opt into such lawsuits falls under the heading of idiocy and misappropriation of funds. –##– Biting the Hand That Feeds: Environmental Grantee-Plaintiffs Capital Research Center Robert Stilson September 30, 2019 Litigation in federal court... more »
