Collusion? Deep State CFR Takes HUGE “Donation” From Putin Crony

Alex Newman at rss - 16 hours ago
[image: collusion-deep-state-cfr-takes-huge-donation-from-putin-crony] Perhaps there really has been some Russia collusion, but it doesn't look like Democrats think it does. The globalist Deep State organization known as the Council on Foreign Relations is under fire after it was exposed taking a massive “donation” from Soviet-born oligarch Len Blavatnik, a close crony of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin and his corrupt minions. The shady billionaire has also been showering money on U.S. politicians on both sides of the aisle.

Every Time Another Trump Lie Is Exposed, Another Republican-Held Seat In Congress Is Put In Jeopardy

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
*Rhapsody In Blonde by Nancy Ohanian* Republicans favor Trump and Democrats don't. That's not news. The new poll from YouGov for *The Economist* breaks down Trump's favorable/unfavorable ratings among independent voters. And the news is bad for Trump. Among self-identified Independents 22% view him very favorably and 19% view him somewhat favorably for a total of 41%. Meanwhile 36% view him very unfavorably and 13% view him somewhat unfavorably (49%). Worse is that his momentum is all downward. Every single day the news grows worse and worse for him. And voters are now aware that h... more »

See This Picture? Russia Hoped This Fighter Jet Would Be a Game-Changer. It Failed.

Mark Episkopos at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * Meet the Su-47. *Key Point:* The Su-47 serves as a powerful reminder of the many twists and turns on Russia’s long road to a serially-produced fifth-generation fighter. At the Zhukovsky International Airport outside Moscow, Russia, MAKS 2019 air show attendees were treated to a rare piece of Russian military aviation history: the Su-47, a fascinating but flawed testbed for cutting-edge 1990’s fighter technology. Not seen since MAKS 2007, the Su-47 Berkut (“Golden Eagle”) was put on static display as part of a coterie of experimental Russian airc... more »

TNI Staff at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*TNI Staff* *Security, * These jets could do some serious damage in a war over Taiwan--and they come from Russia. *Key Point:* The Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E has entered service with the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) according to the Chinese Ministry of Defense last year. The advanced Russian-built fourth generation fighter is a significant boost to the PLAAF and could be used to good effect by Beijing in over the South China Sea. “The Su-35 is a multi-purpose fighter jet capable of air combat and precision strike against land and surface targets,” Senior Colonel Wu Qi... more »

The U.S. Air Force Isn't Ready for a War Against Russia or China

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Bad news: In a long regional conflict, the Air Force could only meet 62 of attack and 65 percent of strike requirements, but it could supply 92 percent of aerial tanker demand. *Key Point: *Examining availability of 13 Air Force and Navy aircraft models, including the B-52, F-22, F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet and AV-8B Harrier, GAO found severe issues such as delayed depot maintenance, needed parts that were no longer manufactured, lack of mechanics, and aircraft flying beyond their service life.

The Legal Connection Between Washington and Kiev

A Political Junkie at Viable Opposition - 16 hours ago
With the Trump impeachment procedures ongoing and the connection to his conversation about the Biden family with Ukraine President Zelenskyy, there has been very little coverage of an important aspect of the relationship between Washington and Kiev.

In case you haven't read the pertinent section of the transcript of the conversation, here it is: "... more »

Junior Bacon Cheeseburger. A blast from the past

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 16 hours ago
We bought our Lakeside cottage in September, 1988, and thus began a weekly (usually Saturday since we both worked) trip to clean, paint and remodel (I watched, Bob worked). On the way through Bucyrus we'd stop at Wendy's and became very fond of the Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger with a small fries. Our children were shocked because "fast food" certainly hadn't been on the menu when they lived at home! I was such a mean mom. I probably haven't had one in over 20 years. Yesterday after we returned to Canal Winchester from Phil's doctor appointment in Westerville, he treated us to lunch--Jr.... more »

Turkish Incursion into Syria: US Abandons Kurds

Land Destroyer at Land Destroyer - 16 hours ago
Turkey is at a pivotal moment where it can chose to help end the war or take on the torch of Washington's failure. *October 15, 2019 * (Tony Cartalucci - LD) - US troops are in the middle of an apparent withdrawal from Syria's northeast. This leaves the door open to a variety of possibilities - the most dangerous being Turkey having cut a backroom deal with Washington to occupy eastern Syria. The most ideal being Turkey having reached an agreement with Moscow and Damascus to create a temporary buffer zone - handing control incrementally over to the Syrian government until Ankara's... more »

*[image: The divisive conclusion of a new study that there is little health benefit to reducing red meat consumption has been called "irresponsible and unethical" by some scientists]* The big take home for all of us is that it is not the meat.

Political prisoners in Germany and Spain

While the post-communist part of Europe behaves sanely these days, Western Europe is split and a big part of it has been devoured by novel political movements that want to totally destroy all the opposition, everyone who disagrees with them, and they are ready to use the worst possible tools.
