Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* In summary: Extortion, bribery, and abuse of presidential power aimed at helping Trump's re-election while also being aimed at helping Trump's ally Vladimir Putin rebuild the old Soviet Union by taking over Ukraine, a country that instead wants to be a democracy and wants to be an ally of the United States.

Decades Before 9/11, New York Suffered Another Massive Terrorist Attack
*Warfare History Network* *History, * What happened? In the summer of 1916, America was an island of peace in an ocean of war. The guns of August 1914 had been blazing away in Europe for nearly two years now, primed by a booming American munitions industry that found itself growing rich on the long-distance suffering of others. In the blood-soaked trenches of the Western Front, men blew each other up by the tens of thousands with bombs made in large part from materials supplied by American factories, shipped overseas from American ports. By far the most important of these ports ... more »

Are they being repelled by the socialism behind wind and solar power? Or is it s... more »

Russia's Stealth Su-57 Is Powerful, But Has One Major Flaw

Individualism is Not a Political Concept
Individualism is not a political concept; it is an attribute of human psychology that enables a man to be independent and use his own mind for making his choices. A man, depending on his mindset, can be an individualist in a communist country—capitalism is not a necessary condition for individualism. An individualist, like any collectivist, can be moral or immoral—individualism has nothing to do with morality.
