Reality Starts Penetrating The Trump Information Bubble
The latest ABC News/*Washington Post* poll has no cheery spots for Señor Trumpanzee. Nationally, his approval remains steady at a dreadful 38%, but it also shows "a career low in approval among Republicans, 74%, down steeply from a career-high 87% in July." (18% of Republicans want to see him impeached.) Only 30% of Americans consider his behavior "fitting and proper." 50% agree that he's using the presidency for personal profit. The red wall around him is beginning to crack as his popularity continues to sag. Republican thought leaders have been abandoning him as well-- and some ... more »
Climate change will cost much less than we think
By Paul Homewood From CFACT: A pair of notorious and discredited climate alarmists published an editorial last week in the New York Times titled, “Climate Change Will Cost Us Much More Than We Think.” (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/23/opinion/climate-change-costs.html) The article by Naomi Oreskes and Nicholas Stern presents no economic data or analysis, but merely asserts that … … Continue reading →

Saturday snippet: urinary frigidity
A few weeks ago, I published an excerpt from the late Brigadier Dick Lord's history of the South African Air Force, "From Fledgling to Eagle". It was well received, particularly because it was very funny, and I had several requests for more of his tales of flight and fighting in the service of three different countries. I'm happy to oblige, and I'll post more snippets from his books at odd intervals in future. This tale comes at the end of his advanced training as a pilot in Britain's Fleet Air Arm, during the very early 1960's. It's taken from his autobiography, "From Tailhooke... more »

Rod Liddle has caused a whirlwind by taking facetiousness a step too far. We generally enjoy his outrageousness, but I have to say that when he occasionally opines on stuff he is evidently quite ill-informed about, it spoils the effect. Examples? Anorexia was one. I forget the others, but I promise you there are some. On the other hand, has the entire world had a sense of humour - ectomy? Or do I mean ‘otomy’? As in when something offensive is surgically is removed. It’s so obvious (or it should be) that the controversial article in question was Rod Liddle's way of taking everythin... more »
Do Iran's Speedboats Have Any Chance Against The U.S. Navy?
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* Iran has been honing its asymmetric warfare capabilities for just this scenario. *Key point: *Iran plans to shut down the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping.

The Springfield M1A Rifle Is A True Classic Weapon Of War
*Gun News Daily* *Technology, * Here's our review. If there’s any one thing that the Springfield M1A rifle will be known for, it’s that it’s the semi-automatic civilian version of the military’s selective fire M14 rifle that has been in continuous service since the late 1950s. There’s no question that the M1A is a beautiful rifle, not to mention that it’s also very accurate, durable, and practical. It has plenty of modern applications not only for law enforcement and the military but for civilians as well, and it and the M14 also have a very rich history. It’s probably not fai... more »
Britain’s Top Commander: We Are At “War Every Day” with Russia

Why "Medicare For All" Is Not What It Seems (Think Medicaid Instead)
*Kevin Pham* *Politics, * Structurally, Sanders’ Medicare for All bill bears little resemblance to Medicare, but instead is very similar to Medicaid.

Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was recently on comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show to discuss, among other items on his agenda, his vision for health care in America. In one interesting statement, Sanders described the rollout of his plan: “I want to expand Medicare to include dental care, hearing aids, and eyeglasses, and then what I want to do is lower the... more »

Nazi-Normalizing Barf Journalism: A Brief History
In the beginning was the profile of the Nazi next door, an inexplicable decision by the New York Times (11/25/17) to profile a right-wing extremist in the most sympathetic light possible. It was the most outrageous example of an outrageous genre of MSM—and particularly NYT—reporting: the never-ending effort to profile, study, explain, excuse and rationalize Trump voters. Without, of course, referring to them as racists. White men are always news that’s fit to print.

Why The M14 Deserves The Title Of The U.S. Military's "Worst Service Rifle"

It served as the standard-issue rifle for just six years—by the most generous estimates, half that of the U.S. Army’s second shortest serving rifle, the Krag-Jørgensen.

Why the Fed Has No Choice but to Keep Cutting Interest Rates
*Andreas Kern* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] This is what a financial crisis looks like on Wall Street. The U.S. Federal Reserve is stuck between an apparently booming economy and a financial crisis that might be right around the corner. That’s why its decision to cut interest rates by another quarter point on Oct. 30 – its third reduction in as many months – seems so odd. Lowering rates when the economy is as strong as the numbers make it out to be is practically unheard of. And, according to textbook economics, lowering interest rates during a boom is a sure recipe for... more »
