Democrat impeachment "witness" Laurence Tribe is a lying partisan
The Democrats coup, otherwise known as impeachment, proceeds on Wednesday with "testimony" by four legal experts on impeachment. The lead off witness is insanely radical Laurence Tribe. All you need to know about Tribe is that he's a Harvard law professor and that 2 weeks after Trump assumed the office of President Tribe wrote: “[Trump]must be impeached for abusing his power and shredding the Constitution more monstrously than any other president in American history” Given that Trump effectively did nothing in that first two weeks it's clear that Tribe thinks that impeachment shoul... more »
NO, THE MEDIA DID NOT LAUGH OFF BLOOMBERG'S CANDIDACY IN 2001
Politico's David Freedlander argues that Mike Bloomberg was underestimated in his 2001 run for mayor just the way he's being underestimated now. In 2001, Bloomberg was a political unknown with a lot of money and no real ties to the party whose nomination he was seeking. He had a history of inappropriate comments. The media treated him as a joke, polls gave him almost no shot at winning, the public tired of his will-he-or-won’t-he dance about actually running, and when he did finally jump into the race, he proved to be an indifferent and wooden campaigner. Yet less than a year after ... more »
Dishonest Lisa Page is trying to play the victim
Lisa Page was an FBI lawyer who colluded to ensure that Trump wasn't elected and if he was elected she worked to ensure that his election was nullified. She's been rightly vilified for her actions by honest Americans. But now the #FakeNews media are going to try and cast her as the victim because the man who she conspired against, President Trump, has been fighting back and calling her names. They need to do so because they have to do everything they can to keep the real story of how Democrats and the Swamp conspired to deny the right of we the people to elect a president. Her dis... more »
Yes, Britain Is Convoying to Protect Its Ships from Iran
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Will it work? *Key point:* Since the summer, London has been working to protect any of its cargo ships from capture or harassment by Tehran. The Royal Navy destroyer HMS *Duncan *has arrived in the Persian Gulf, temporarily doubling the number of British warships in the Persian Gulf following repeated Iranian attacks on British ships. The brief increase in British warships in the region, from one to two, underscores just how few ships the Royal Navy can deploy even in an emergency. More help likely won’t be coming. *Duncan*,... more »
Meet the Titan: The Army's New Anti-Tank Robot?
*David Axe* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5703248/1-8-infantry-conducts-live-fire-exercise-eager-lion-2019] It is in the works. *Key point:* It will take a while to develop, but the Pentagon wants optionally-manned platforms that can fire Javelin anti-tank missiles. On Sept. 10, 2019, a Titan unmanned ground vehicle fired multiple Javelin anti-tank missiles at targets on the Army’s Redstone range in Alabama. The test represented a big step for the U.S. military as it moves to acquire armed robots for high-end warfare. Of course, the QinetiQ-made ... more »
Don’t Fuel China's Paranoia in Hong Kong
*Doug Bandow* *Security, * Members of Congress deride Trump’s foreign policy approach. Yet they consistently have been more destructive, turning lectures into an art form, imposing sanctions without effect, and insisting on, without authorizing, endless wars. Alas, in cases such as Hong Kong good intentions are not enough. The denizens of Zhongnanhai have never understood democracy. In the People’s Republic of China, people are expected to do and believe what they are told. Few disobey, especially under Xi Jinping, who has moved Chinese society back toward Maoist totalitarianism... more »

Lebanon Protests : Lebanese moms against Civil War, Lebanese moms with Revolution
The Lebanese protests against their government are still going strong against all odds.

Trudeau's Future
Chantal Hebert writes that the future of the Trudeau government may well rest on what it decides to do about climate change: The makeup of this Parliament should translate into impetus for more decisive environmental action. But on that score, the message from the realignment of the cabinet was muddled — presumably as a result of Trudeau’s determination to not ruffle more feathers in the Prairies. Thursday’s throne speech will provide more insights as to whether the Liberals will embrace the opportunity to raise their climate change game or resist it. It is a sign of the times t... more »
Hegel On The Condemnation of Socrates
When Socrates took up the mantle of free enquiry, which is unencumbered by prevalent beliefs and prejudices, he was following the command that the Greeks attributed to their god Apollo: “Man, know thyself.” Socrates had dedicated his life to inculcating in his followers the virtue of critically reflecting on matters concerning morality and politics. But this kind of critical reflection makes reason, and not social custom, the ultimate judge. In his the *Philosophy of History*, Hegel says that by teaching his followers to reflect on moral and political issues, Socrates was destabiliz... more »

Impeachment testimony gives credence to real reason Trump held up aid to Ukraine
Over and over, President Trump has stated that there was a reason to hold up aid to Ukraine — but it wasn’t one that the idiotic left chose to hear.. Testimony from different witnesses has skirted around the issue of WHY the money was held up — the reason has always been the same. Finally, one witness spoke up who had knowledge of the real reason why the money was held up for a month. And guess what, MSM and the Democrats deliberately glossed over and tried to bury it. But their own transcripts show the reason for the American … Continue reading →

The Poet: Dana Gioia, "Entrance"
*"Entrance"* "Whoever you are: step out of doors tonight, Out of the room that lets you feel secure. Infinity is open to your sight. Whoever you are. With eyes that have forgotten how to see From viewing things already too well-known, Lift up into the dark a huge, black tree And put it in the heavens: tall, alone. And you have made the world and all you see. It ripens like the words still in your mouth. And when at last you comprehend its truth, Then close your eyes and gently set it free." - Dana Gioia

AIPAC - How Israel Gets Washington to See Things Its Way
We all know that Israel has a great deal of influence on Washington but most people are not aware of the organization that lies behind Israel's power brokering. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee or AIPAC is the primary vehicle for promoting the pro-Israel agenda on Capitol Hill through its lobbying of Congress. In this posting, I want to provide my readers with some background information on AIPAC that helps explain why this group has such stroke over the American agenda in the Middle East.

Sunset over the Northern plains
Courtesy of Daily Timewaster, here's a beautiful time-lapse video of sunset over Bowdon, North Dakota, in 2017. The videographer, Mike Olbinski, writes: We were chasing northeast of Bismarck, North Dakota and as storms were dying out, we decided to go for a lone cell on the backside of a line of storms. We knew it had a hail core on it and we were hoping that we might get some nice sunset color at least on the storm as it moved past us, and hopefully some lightning bolts. But we had no idea what we were about to encounter. The clouds were taking on a very different, curvy, wave-li... more »

One NATO Ally Might Regret Buying Expensive F-35 Stealth Fighters
*David Axe* *Security, * Denmark had a small air force. And then they bought the F-35. The U.S. ambassador to Denmark wants the Nordic country to buy more American-designed F-35 stealth fighters. Ambassador Carla Sands’s advocacy for a “made-in-America” warplane should come as no surprise. But leaving aside the benefit to U.S. industry, Sands has a point. Denmark has too few fighters. Of course, it’s in part the fault of the country’s determination to buy the F-35 that it stands little chance of growing its fighter fleet. The radar-evading warplane probably wasn’t the best choi... more »
