College football delayed by Climate Catastrophe protest
ESPN reports: The start of the second half of Saturday's Harvard-Yale game was delayed by nearly an hour after a number of spectators rushed the field to stage a climate change protest. The field was ultimately cleared, and the game resumed at 2:48 p.m. ET. Some protesters held banners asking their colleges to act on climate change and Puerto Rican debt relief, including one sign that read, "Nobody wins. Yale & Harvard are complicit in climate injustice." "Hey hey, ho ho, fossil fuels have got to go," some protesters chanted. Caleb Schwartz, a Harvard student and spokesman for t... more »

Russia's Military Is Powerful, But These 5 Weapons Totally Bombed
*Michael Peck* *Security, Europe* Success comes from failure. *Key point: *Communist or capitalist, Russian or American, there is an iron rule: there can be no innovation without experimentation, and experimentation inevitably results in failures. It's not usual for Russia to admit that its weapons have failed. Especially Russian media, purveyor of glorious stories of space MiGs and interplanetary tanks.

California Democrats are too radical for radical California Supreme Court: Trump tax returns edition
The Democrats apparently want a one party fascist state because they passed a law that said that Trump couldn't be on the ballot if the didn't make his tax returns public. Clearly that was nothing less than a massive attempt to suppress Republican voting in California far worse than Republicans wanting to make every voter produce ID. Of course if California could do that then Texas could say that any candidate whose son did business in Ukraine couldn't be on the ballot or that any candidate who had lied about being a native American when they weren't couldn't be on the ballot.

Brexit: Lexit or Rexit?
*Brexit is an irredeemably right wing project. Guest post from Scott Newton* .

The Poet: J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Road"
*"The Road" * "The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. The Road goes ever on and on Out from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, Let others follow it who can! Let them a journey new begin, But I at last with weary feet Will turn towards the lighted inn, My evening-rest and sleep to meet." - J.R.R. Tolkien

Writing for the *New York Times* yesterday, Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch noted that "the Ukraine scandal now unfolding in congressional impeachment hearings has at its core a Shakespearean twist: President Trump, abetted by his paladins of spin, has trapped himself in an alternate universe. To undermine the well-established fact that Russia corrupted the 2016 vote to help him win, Mr. Trump and his allies have tried to build a fiction that pins those crimes on Ukraine. In so doing, he has confirmed our darkest fears. The president’s bid to solicit foreign help to impugn a domest... more »

President Grant and the Reconstruction That Wasn't
I've finished the biography Grant by Ron Chernow, the author who famously wrote that bio of Alexander Hamilton (and a really good one of Rockefeller, too). In the end, Ulysses S. Grant remains a little more opaque than some of Chernow's other subjects, but the history that Grant himself lived through is a striking reflection of our nation in a troubled time. He failed at business. His in-laws were a slave-owning Southern family. He won the Civil War, and then he presided over Reconstruction, a period that is both hugely important and hugely ignored by US citizens. We are still paying... more »

Ukraine officials had an uneasy relationship with our embassy in Kiev because State Department officials exerted pressure on Ukraine prosecutors to drop certain cases against activists, including one group partly funded by George Soros. ... more »
Vindman, the bombshell
A GQ story from Oct. 29 said that Lt. Col. Alexander VIndman, a key witness in the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, originally ran with a line saying that Vindman was awarded the Purple Heart after being injured by an IUD. Well, in these days of gender confusion I suppose that possible, but generally, it's extremely difficult to fit a man with an IUD. They do injure women, but not men since a uterus is not one of the usual pieces of equipment they are issued. Shaped like a "T" and a bit bigger than a quarter, an IUD fits inside a woman's uterus. It prevents pregnancy by s... more »
Stunner: The U.S. Marines Want A Taser That Can Shoot Over 300 Feet

A bullet that zaps you with an electric jolt like a Taser. That’s what the U.S. Marine Corps wants as a non-lethal munition that can be fired from a regular small arm. The U.S. military has been trying to develop a Taser-like bullet for twelve years but has yet to succeed. This time, the Marines hope to get it right.

China Threatens America's Inventive Genius (Just Not How You Think)
*James Pethokoukis* *Technology, Asia* [image: Reuters] Innovation is more important than fearing what China is doing. *Key point:* America should be concerned about China’s intellectual property theft and more about how to keep beating Beijing in inventing new technology.

He contended, “But the tax the way we’re putting it forward right now, the wealth tax, I’m sorry, it’s cumbersome. It’s been tried by other nations. It’s hard to evaluate.

Tulsi Gabbard—what do Democrats have against her?
Tulsi Gabbard is just as far left as the rest of the Democrat party candidates running for 2020, but she's younger, prettier, more talented, more articulate, a veteran, a minority and a female.
