Impeachment Witness Questions
[image: undefined] In addition to the whistleblower himself, when Republicans get their chance to fully question the people whose testimony is now being stage managed by the Democrats, here are the points they must make to illustrate all this.

Scream all the mob movie references you wish, but point to what law the smoking gun phrase Trump used, “Do us a favor,” violates. DOJ ruled the whistleblower revealed no criminal act.

Social Media Censorship Reaches New Heights as Twitter Permanently Bans Dissent
It’s an open secret. The deep state is working hand in hand with Silicon Valley social media giants like Twitter, Facebook and Google to control the flow of information.

There's Something About Deval Patrick... and Liz Warren

First a little background. As Michael Hudson lays out in "The Monster," an excellent investigation into the subprime mortgage crime spree that contributed to the complete collapse of the financial system in 2008, Deval Patrick w... more »

The March Continues
The United States and Britain have been involved in wars for twenty years. Simon Jenkins asks a simple question: Why? After all, the results have not been not encouraging: The US has spent a staggering $6.4tn on almost two decades of interventions, with more than 7,000 military dead. Britain has lost 634. In addition, unknowable thousands of civilians have died, and billions of pounds’ worth of property been destroyed. Christianity has been all but wiped out in the region, and some of the finest cities in the ancient world have been bombed flat. No audit has been made of this. The... more »

The Democrats are running more female veterans for office than ever before – but can they win?
Rebecca Best, Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Missouri-Kansas City at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 14 hours ago
Voters tend to view female candidates as strong on issues like education and health care, but weak on national security. Female veterans might be able to overcome the stereotype.

Heads Up Patriots – Democrats — challenging election laws in battleground states
Democrats challenge election laws in battleground states The Hill Reid Wilson November 13, 2019 A year before the 2020 presidential election, Democratic groups are filing lawsuits in new and emerging battleground states, challenging election laws and procedures they say disproportionately affect young and minority voters. Those groups have filed seven lawsuits in recent weeks, challenging election laws in five states. And more suits are coming, said Marc Elias, the Democratic election law expert whose firm is overseeing the litigation. In Georgia, Texas and Arizona, coalitions of D... more »

Russia's Su-57: A Terrifying Stealth Fighter or Junk? China Has Thoughts.
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* China plans to learn from it. *Key point: *A Chinese purchase of the Su-57 could help Russia's struggling arms industry. China should learn from Russia’s Su-57 stealth fighter, according to Chinese media. The article in Chinamil.com, the Chinese military’s English-language news site, was peculiar in that it both criticized and praised the Su-57, of which Russia has only built ten so far, with thirteen more slated for 2020. “The Su-57, Russia's fifth-generation fighter jet comparable to China's J-20 and the US’ F-22, is usually considered not a tr... more »

Climate Change as religion
Senator Mazie Hirano of Hawaii (Democrat of course) believes Climate Change needs to be treated like a religion. Most conservatives thought it already was being promoted that way with more protections than real religions. Of course, if it were treated like a religious cult, maybe we could get it out of the classroom and every media source. I'm sure my public library has more books on climate change than Christianity, especially for children. https://pjmedia.com/trending/democrat-sen-mazie-hirono-believe-in-climate-change-as-though-its-a-religion/ https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/... more »
As Lula Emerges From Prison, US Media Ignore How Washington Helped Put Him There
The Brazilian Supreme Court reversed a 2018 ruling on November 7, upholding the principle of innocent until proven guilty in the 1988 Constitution and declaring it illegal to jail defendants before their appeals processes have been exhausted. Within 24 hours, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was released to an adoring crowd of hundreds of union members and social movement activists who had maintained a camp outside the police station where he was held, shouting “good morning,” “good afternoon” and “good night” to him for 580 consecutive days.

Ruger's Mini-14 Rifle Has Been Overlooked For Too Long (A Huge Mistake)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * It's story started in World War II and Korea. *Key point: *Neither as accurate or popular as the AR-15, but it has a storied history. One of the most enduring and popular semi-automatic rifles in America traces its lineage to the battlefields of World War II and Korea. The Mini-14 rifle, designed and developed by Sturm Ruger, is in widespread use as a ranch rifle, defensive weapon, and even a hunting arm. Now in its fifth decade, the Mini-14 shows no sign of going out of production anytime soon. In the late 1960s, firearms designer Bill Ruger and Ja... more »

Who Wins a Battle of Stealth: the American F-22 Raptor or the Russian Su-57
*TNI Staff* *Security, * [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/MAKS-AIRSHOW--RC118145C9E0.html] We've got your answers. *Key Point:* New Russian sensor technology may negate the Raptor's stealth. The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is the king of skies—it combines stealth and eye-watering kinematic performance with a power array of sensors weapons. For over a decade since the Raptor was declared operational in December 2005, the F-22 has been unquestionably the best air superiority fighter ever built. But challengers are starting to appear. After emerging from its post-Sovie... more »
DACA Dreamers Will Change America—For the Better
*Aviva Rutkin* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] What do Americans make of the debate over DACA? The future remains uncertain for a group of young people who were brought from other countries to the U.S. as children without legal authorization. Currently, these young people are protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. This Obama-era program shields around 700,000 to 800,000 people from deportation. On Nov. 12, the Supreme Court heard arguments on the Trump administration’s decision to end the program. The hearing involves three separate cases ... more »
