Nathan Paxton’s recent interview with APSA crystallized that; the bigger question is not how to support alt-ac PhDs but how to counsel people […]

One paradoxical aspect of the climate hysteria is that it is directed against the wrong people – and those who fight against the climate hysteria seem to be an illogical subset of mankind like us, too. In particular, the Western nations – where the pollution is low and even much of the energy production has been replaced by "renewable" sources, according to one definition or another – are those that are being pushed towards an ever greater fear while the mainly Asian giants such as China and India don't seem to care much. Clearly, the explanation is that the carbon dioxide isn't the... more »

Fact Witnesses in the Impeachment Trial
Some of the witnesses that House investigators want to hear from are not testifying because the President is telling them to stay quiet. Before the House votes on articles of impeachment, the courts may rule on whether the President can do this, but who knows. When the Senate trial begins, though, the calculus shifts in favor of testimony. The President's main explanation for not cooperating now is that the House inquiry is a kangaroo court. In the Senate, though, he cannot make that claim. Republicans control the chamber. The Chief Justice presides. The President gets lawyers and m... more »

*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * Stealth is king. *Key point:* Iran has more than Israeli jets to worry about. Back in 2013, Pentagon press secretary George Little said that an Iranian air force F-4 Phantom combat plane attempted to intercept a U.S. MQ-1 Predator drone flying through international airspace near Iran. As we reported back then, one of the two F-4 Phantom jets — in service in Iran since the Shah — came to about 16 miles from the Predator, but broke off pursuit after two American planes escorting the drone broadcast a warning message. It was a close call. The March... more »
Kel Tec's PMR-30 Handgun: Reliability With (Almost) Never Needing To Reload
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, Americas* It holds 30 rounds. *Key point:* The PMR-30 can't be beat in terms of ammo capacity. The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a rarity among handguns on the market today: a pistol with a magazine holding more than seventeen rounds. The PMR-30 actually holds thirty rounds and does so with some clever engineering that reduces it to a lightweight package attractive to casual shooters, backcountry shooters, or people interested in a firearm for home defense. High-capacity handguns have traditionally been a difficult engineering proposition. The first, if not one ... more »
Could America's F-52 Stealth Fighter Have Been Better Than The F-35?
*TNI Staff* *Technology, Americas* We'll never know--as the F-52 doesn't exist. *Key Point:* Tomorrow's aircraft will look far different than today's planes. President Donald Trump last year told reporters that the United States had delivered the F-52 to Norway. The statement was obviously a mistake; there is no such thing as an F-52 yet. The aircraft only exists in the context of a video game called “Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare”—however, there was once a real-world concept that looks similar to the fiction jet. “In November we started delivering the first F-52s and F-35 fig... more »
"Saying Good-bye To A Legend – Riding Off Into The Sunset"
*"Saying Good-bye To A Legend – * *Riding Off Into The Sunset"* by Leroy Thissell “The visits have continued. In fact I am heading over there tomorrow on my bike, for a late summer run to see my Brother. It will be a one-dayer; a long ride but so worth it. Just the ride itself is priceless, a biker’s dream. And the visit will be good.” I wrote the above at the end of my previous article, The Golden Good-bye. By my error, it was titled LEGEND. This is the one that could rightly been called that.

A Better Way to Use Sanctions in Africa
Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa (Source: Kremlin.ru) Few things are as constitutive of the Western foreign policy orthodoxy toward Africa as sanctions. Sanctions programs abound in the continent, yet they frequently fall short of their goals. We propose some ways to recapture the foreign policy value of sanctions. In recent weeks, both Sudan and Zimbabwe have experienced dramatic political changes—Sudan has a new transitional government, and Zimbabwe navigates the death of its longtime and controversial president, Robert Mugabe. The twin political shifts offer an occasion to... more »

Political Ideology Versus Political Activity
In his essay, “Political Education,” Michael Oakeshott rejects the supposition that political ideology inspires political activity. He points out that the exact opposite is true, it is political activity that is the father of political ideology. Here’s an excerpt: “So far from a political ideology being the quasi-divine parent of political activity, it turns out to be its earthly stepchild. Instead of an independently premeditated scheme of ends to be pursued, it is a system of ideas abstracted from the manner in which people have been accustomed to go about the business of attendin... more »

A phenomenon so diffuse that it seems manifest throughout politics, economics, and culture is hardly a chimera, and the apparent reticence of many commentators to recogn... more »

In the novella *The Death of Ivan Ilyich* (1886), Leo Tolstoy presents a man who is shocked by suddenly realising that his death is inevitable.
