*by Noah* Flushing twice might be normal, sometimes, with water efficiency toilets, but 10-15 times? Tomorrow, he'll be saying 20-30 and he'll still have paper stuck to his shoe. Of course his toilet probably really does get clogged. You're not supposed to wipe your ass with copies of the Constitution and flush it down the toilet. Who told him to? Putin. Moscow Mitch? Some Saudi royal? If they told him our Constitution was made of Adderall, he'd grind it up and snort it. There's no saving Donald Jar Jar Trump. He's gone from his Covfefe dialect of English and even blown right pas... more »

How Men Used Religion to Shame Women Into Submission

Julie Ingersoll at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Julie Ingersoll* *Religion, Americas* [image: Reuters] The ‘extreme abstinence’ of the purity movement was used as leverage over evangelical women. Millennial evangelicals are speaking out about the heightened emphasis on sexual purity that characterized their upbringing in that subculture. Joshua Harris, a former pastor who became one of the most public faces of the purity culture movement in the United States with his 1997 book “I Kissed Dating Goodbye,” recently renounced his views and very publicly left evangelicalism. When his book came out, it was widely read and led many ... more »

Meet The Deadly Tavor Assault Rifle: Israeli's Upgrade For The U.S. M-4 And M-16

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Middle East* We have all the details. *Key point:* The Tavor is used by various units -- especially special forces and police SWAT teams -- in almost 30 nations. Israel builds its own high-tech military equipment, such as tanks, missiles and drones. Not bad for a nation of just 8.5 million people living in a state the size of New Jersey. But Israel has also proven adept at designing rifles. Perhaps its most famous firearm is the legendary Uzi submachine gun, an almost iconic 1950s design made famous by the photo of a U.S. Secret Service agent waving an... more »

Forget the Atomic Bombs: Japan Couldn't Stop America's B-29 Superfortress

Warfare History Network at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *Security, * It bombed Tokyo into submission. *Key point:* When President Truman promised a rain of destruction from the skies on Japan, he was addressing a country that had already been bombed into near oblivion. As the Japanese delegation stood on the deck of the battleship USS Missouri on September 2, 1945, preparing to sign the documents that ended World War II, a large formation of Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bombers swooped low over Tokyo Bay as a reminder of the terrible destruction that had befallen their nation and turned Japan’s cities int... more »

The Very Real Health Ramifications of Fat-Shaming Pregnant Women

Angela Rodriguez at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Angela Rodriguez* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Criticizing pregnant women about their weight can be bad for them and their babies. December is considered the most fertile month, a time when there’s the greatest likelihood that children will be conceived. Some experts even pinpoint Dec. 11 as the most fertile day. But in the lead up to giving birth and in the time after bringing home their new additions, many women may experience an unwelcome surprise. Family, friends and even bystanders are all too quick to comment on – and often criticize – an expectant or new mother’... more »

Why Can't Russia Replace Its Old Submarines Fast Enough?

Robert Beckhusen at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] The Yasen class is in trouble. *Key point:* Moscow doesn't have the means and capacity to build its subs quick enough. In March 2017, Russia’s new *Yasen*-class nuclear attack submarine *Kazan *launched at the northern port city of Severodvinsk. Perhaps the quietest Russian submarine ever, the event was further evidence the Kremlin can still build capable and lethal subs capable of a variety of missions, including cruise-missile attack. But it won’t be enough. The Russian navy — already badly depleted since the collapse of ... more »

Meet Sig Sauer's P226: The Gun Used For Decades By The Elite Navy SEALs

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Now being replaced by Glock. *Key point: *The SEALs put in an initial request for eight hundred P226s and the first pistols, officially named Mk. 25, were fielded in 1989. For three decades, the U.S. Navy’s Sea Air Land (SEAL) special-forces teams relied on a pistol apart from the rest of the American military. While the Army, the Marine Corps and even the rest of the Navy toted the Beretta M9 pistol, Navy SEALs carried an entirely different handgun altogether: the Sig Sauer P226. In the mid-1980s, the U.S. military finally moved away from the M1911... more »

Some intellectual debates in Prague

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 22 hours ago
Your humble correspondent has skipped the December 2018 and June 2019 events of the Klaus Institute – for a combination of reasons which I didn't want to emphasize. But after a delay, most of it may be declassified. The most important reason was that I felt that the folks were significantly more supportive of PM Babiš than I was (and in particular, I didn't want to be surprised and e.g. meet Babiš and be expected to be his fan LOL). Now this difference seems very small to me again (especially because I enthusiastically expect Babiš to veto the EU carbon neutrality by 2050 on Thursda... more »

One Of The Stupidest Litigations In The Country Dies With A Whimper

Francis Menton at Manhattan Contrarian - 23 hours ago
* One of my recurring missions is the effort to assist the readership in identifying the stupidest litigation that has been brought anywhere in this big country. Mostly this effort has resulted in nominating for the title cases that in some way involve issues of “climate change” or, in other words, the idea that if we only sue the right bad guy for enough money we can improve the weather. * A problem with these types of cases is that, as stupid as they are, they tend to kick around the courts for years without much happening.
