The Republicans Haven't Had Anything To Do With Lincoln For Longer Than Anyone Alive Today Remembers
I don't remember much from elementary school-- being a crossing guard,
discovering why big guys could bully smaller guys, a few friends, a few
teachers, my Spanish teacher outing me in Spanish many years before I had
figured out I was gay... And one thing I'll never forget was an elderly
woman coming to address the assembly. Back then, PS 197-- Bernie was a
student there too but a couple of years before me-- was all white, just
Jews and Italians and a few Irish as I remember. But the elderly woman
wasn't memorable because she was black. She was memorable because of what
she had to... more »
Wolves, cattle, wilderness and control
I'm reminded, yet again, that in so many cases, government edicts or
actions don't necessarily have anything to do with the problem they claim
to address. Instead, they're an attempt to impose greater control over
part or all of the populace, so that bureaucrats and special interest
groups can force their will upon them. Gun control? It's about control,
not guns. Obamacare? It's about centralized control of health care and
those who need it, not about medicine as such. Draconian traffic rules and
regulations? It's all too often about "revenue generation by cop", rather

Is China's Second Aircraft Carrier A Floating Paper Tiger?
*David Axe*
*Security, *
Her layout limits her military potential and also puts a cap on the
power-projection capabilities of the Chinese fleet. That’s because Shandong
merely is a slightly more capacious copy of China’s first carrier Liaoning,
a refurbished Ukrainian hull from the 1980s.
The Chinese navy on Dec. 17, 2019 commissioned into service its second
aircraft carrier, *Shandong*. China’s leader Xi Jinping presided over the
commissioning ceremony at a naval base in Sanya, on the southern island of
Hainan, the ship’s home port.
With *Shandong *in service, the Chinese fleet... more »
Head-To-Head: Could Iran Take On The British Navy And Survive?
*Michael Peck*
*Security, *
The British military is a shadow of its former might.
*Key point:* If Iran were to invade Britain, there would be no question of
which party is stronger. But Iran has the upper hand in the Persian Gulf.
“A comparison of the UK and Iran’s military strength shows Britain falling
behind when it comes to manpower, land and naval strength and petroleum
resources,” the newspaper proclaimed after Iran seized a British tanker in
the Persian Gulf, in retaliation for Britain seizing an Iranian tanker at
Gibraltar.

I Use Crossbows and Drones to Collect Bacteria from Whales—And to Keep Them Healthy
*Amy Apprill*
*Environment, Americas*
[image: Reuters] As the largest organisms in the sea, it is possible that
whales may owe much of their success to these smallest forms of life.
As we drew closer to the massive humpback whale, I became painfully aware
how small our inflatable motorboat actually was. I also realized I’d been
unconsciously holding my breath and that conversation in the boat, aside
from commands from our spotter, had long since faded. The whale scientist
next to me raised a crossbow and I heard a soft click as the dart released

Turkey Threatens to Close Key U.S. Air Base That Houses Nuclear Bombs
*Mark Episkopos*
*Security, *
Why? We explain.
In what may become the latest wedge in Turkey-NATO relations since Ankara’s purchase
of the Russian S-400 missile system earlier this year, Turkish President
Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to shut down the Incirlik air base.
“If it is necessary for us to take such a step, of course we have the
authority ... If this is necessary, together with our delegations, we will
close down Incirlik if necessary,” Erdogan told Turkish state television
earlier this week.

Why Russia Felt Threatened By Estonia's Largest Ever Military Exercise With NATO
*Nicholas J. Myers*
*Security, Europe*
Estonia’s large-scale Siil 2018 exercise is not trivial.
*Key point:* The former Soviet states in the Baltic are standing up to
Russian aggression. And NATO has their back.
On May 2, 2018, Estonia began the largest exercise in its history since
regaining independence in 1991. The exercise is called Siil 2018 (“hedgehog”
in Estonian), will last until May 14, and features 15,000 servicemen
including 2,000 foreigners from ten NATO countries (Belgium, Canada,
Denmark, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the United Kingdom and

Britain's Push For Hypersonic Jets Could Be A Game-Changer For The F-35
*Michael Peck*
*Security, Middle East*
It won't be easy though.
*Key Point:* There is more to developing a hypersonic aircraft than
sticking a new engine in an old airframe.
Can an F-35 be turned into a hypersonic aircraft?
News last month that Britain is boosting its hypersonic weapons program
didn’t come as a surprise. Many other nations are doing it.
What caught everyone’s attention was that there are plans to rework the jet
engines on the 1990s Eurofighter Typhoon—which propel the aircraft to Mach
2—into hypersonic engines that could achieve Mach 5 or faster.

Lies continue daily about the pro-life movement
On Facebook, a friend of mine from childhood, who doesn’t vote, listens to

that pro-life people don’t care about children after birth. What an
outrageous lie. Basic pro-choice talking points written by Planned
Parenthood. My response:

agencies that help children who escape the siren call of Planned
Parenthood? Pro-Life people, primarily Christians.

*Restoring the Greatness of Higher Education in America*
Graham Walker
As a college professor for many years, I saw firsthand the array of
problems undermining higher education.
Perhaps the biggest relates to the lifeblood of most colleges and
universities both public and private: federal funding.
Financial dependence on Washington, D.C. has caused even excellent private
institutions to step away from open inquiry and moral principle. Their

These Weird Russian Rifles Are Straight Out Of A Sci-Fi Movie

*Key point: *Despite their promise as compact, precise firearms, these

The 1960s and 1970s were an interesting time in experimental Soviet rifle

You're Dead: 5 Deadliest Bullets In The World
*Kyle Mizokami*

They're just as important as the gun that fires them.
*Key Point:* These are the bullets that will do the most damage to the
human body.
Since their invention in the tenth century, engineers, soldiers and
tinkerers have constantly tried to make firearms more deadly. Typically
that involves moving to heavier bullets driven by more powerful gunpowders,
and while that is effective it is also louder, generates more recoil and
necessitates new firearms. One solution is the creation of newer, deadlier
ammunition for existing guns.
