Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*Click to enlarge* *by Noah* As readers know, we at *DWT* love Tom Tomorrow and his accurate presentations of the world we live in. The Tom Tomorrow cartoon that I'm using as tonight's meme may be my all-time favorite of his. But, that could change in a flash. After all, the material that is being provided by Trump, his party, and the usual assortment of media goons and spineless democrats on an hourly basis is providing a nonstop tsunami of material for more and more top-level cartooning. The above version of *This Modern World* depicts Trump's "reasoning" and current chosen defe... more »

*BBC:* *Erdogan shows anti-Kurdish video to senators at White House* Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sparked tensions during his US visit when he showed Republican senators an anti-Kurdish video, US media say.

Karma: British "White Helmets" Co-Founder Dead in Turkey
*November 15, 2019 *(Tony Cartalucci - LD) - Former British military officer James Le Mesurier suspected of ties to MI6 and the co-founder of the so-called "White Helmets" front was found dead this month in Turkey from an apparent fall from his residence. The Western media wasted no time linking it to claims Russia had recently made that he was an intelligence asset involved in sowing instability worldwide - attempting to portray Russia as somehow likely responsible for Le Mesurier's death. *Not a Rescue Org * In actuality, the "White Helmets" were an extension of Western armed an... more »

The Green New Deal Isn’t Just Expensive. It’s Also Bad Environmental Policy.
By Nicolas Loris ~ We’re not hearing much about the Green New Deal these days, but it’s still a priority for some candidates, as anyone who’s attended a recent Bernie Sanders rally can attest. Criticism of the Green New Deal tends to center on cost and rightly so. It would be extremely expensive. Researchers estimate […]
Russia Establishes New Airbase In Former U.S. Syria Stronghold
syria.mil.ru *Moscow Times*: *Russia Launches New Air Base in Former U.S. Syria Stronghold* The Russian military has announced a new combat helicopter and air defense base in a formerly U.S.-controlled northern Syrian stronghold, the state-run TASS news agency reported Thursday. U.S. troops left the city of Qamishli, the administrative center of the self-proclaimed Kurdish autonomy in northern Syria, last month as Turkey launched an assault against Kurdish forces. Russia and Turkey later clinched a deal pushing the Kurdish YPG fighters south of the frontline and launched joint pa... more »
Greg Hunter, "Weekly News Wrap-up 11/15/19"
*"Weekly News Wrap-up 11/15/19"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "The first public hearing for President Trump’s impeachment was billed as a blockbuster, but in reality, it was a huge dud. As a matter of fact, it was a disaster for Adam Schiff and the Democrats. The so-called star witnesses called by the Democrats looked stupid when they admitted they had no firsthand knowledge, depended on hearsay and could not articulate an impeachable offence committed by the President. This is not a real impeachment but rather a Deep State operation to get rid of a President calling attention ... more »
If The F-35 Stealth Jet Is So Good, Why Is Japan Buying More F-3 Fighters?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Japan has a plan. In February 2019, Japan turned heads with its decision to proceed with the development of an indigenous stealth fighter jet. This came in the wake of the decision to purchase more than one hundred American F-35 jets, and the supposed cancellation of the Japanese X-2 stealth fighter prototype in 2018. The Japanese Ministry of Defense announced the move to develop the new fighter, currently named Future Fighter or F-3 as part of their Mid-Term Defense Program (MTDP) that lays out modernization and procurement decisions for the Japan Sel... more »
More Than Stealth: The F-35 Might Have A Better Trick Up Its Sleeve
*Mark Episkopos* *Security, * This is what the F-35 can really do. *Key point:* The F-35 is talked about in terms of stealth and firepower, but that's not all it ha*s.* Recent commentary on the F-35 fifth-generation fighter has centered around its firepower and stealth capabilities, but a recently released demonstration video depicts the fighter jet in a pleasantly different light. A clip from Capt. Capt. Andrew "Dojo" Olson’s instagram page showcases the F-35A Lightning II in a series of dramatic aerial maneuvers, performed at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.

*David W. Wise* *Security, * The carrier won't dominate forever. Here's why. *Key point: *Better to adjust to the new reality before a surprise innovation proves you wrong. “History,” it has been written, “does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.” Today it’s rhyming with Gen. Billy Mitchell. In the 1920s, Mitchell challenged conventional thinking by advocating air power at sea in the face of a naval establishment dominated by battleship proponents.

Why Shipping More Weapons To Ukraine Will
Reuters *National Interest:* *Dressed to Kill: Arming Ukraine Could Put It on a Path Towards War* Even after Russian military forces withdrawal, deep-seated resentments will linger in Donbas. The lethal aid policy’s greatest flaw is that it completely fails to address these resentments, and in doing so, artificially simplifies the conflict to a proxy war with Russia. In 2017, the United States began supplying Javelin missile launchers and sniper systems to Ukraine. This equipment, in addition to nonlethal aid (since 2014), is intended to help fight off Russian-backed separatists i... more »

If Japan Is A Naval Power, Why Does It Not Have Aircraft Carriers?

Ruger's LCR Revolvers Are Changing What Is Meant By "Small And Powerful"
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * How will they fare? *Key point: *There are 18 different variations. One of the most unexpected surprises of recent years is the resurgence in snub-nose, concealed-carry revolvers. Largely displaced in the 1980s by a frenzy of interest in low-cost, high capacity 9-millimeter pistols, new interest in these short, compact revolvers was led in the late-2000s by the Ruger LCR, an entirely new revolver design that skillfully blended steel, aluminum, and even polymer into a very lightweight weapon.

one may not have sufficient spiritual reserve for constant bestowal?
52. Those who enter the path of Great Service sometimes fear that they may not have sufficient spiritual reserve for constant bestowal.

But the same is also said of the birds of the heavens who have ample food for the morrow. Verily in cooperation with Hierarchy the spiritual store will not be exhausted. The heart that cherishes the Image of the Lord will not become silent. Thus one need not fear consuming the spiritual store--it is inexhaust... more »

On The Problem of Evil
Diamonds are not forever, but evil is. Evil cannot be abolished. There can never be a society that is free of evil because all men (even the saintly ones) have the potential for being evil, just as they have the potential for being good. But this philosophical point is ignored by the modern leftists, liberals, and the neo-conservatives who are convinced that a society free of evil (a paradise) can be created through reason. They inflict utopian policies on their nation and launch wars for creating a paradise in other nations. Most of them are atheists, but they have a “blind faith” ... more »
