Iran Wants Its Submarines To Sink America's Navy In A War
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* But how effective could they be? *Key point: *Though the new Iranian boats may remain far from the cutting edge of submarine design, they could still prove dangerous adversaries in the confined and shallow waters of the Persian Gulf. The Iranian military has long planned for a defensive naval war in the Persian Gulf, in which it would leverage its large fleet of fast attack boats toting antiship missiles to launch swarming hit-and-run attacks on adversaries in along Persian Gulf, with the ultimate goal of shutting down passage through t... more »

Raising kids without religion...
*why?* Every year I wonder about the large number of children being raised without any acquaintance with God. I witness parents who spend untold amount of time, effort, and money to ensure their children have the best education and wonderful experiences, but deny them any knowledge of God. So when something like Christmas rolls around it's all about a family party and gifts and nothing to do with the birth of Jesus - our Lord and Savior. Some of these parents could even be considered conservative, but most are not. Parents who were raised in a faith tradition and abandon it raise ... more »

Forget Atomic Bombs and Tanks: How America's PT Boats Helped Win World War II
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* PT boats were active in several areas of the European and Mediterranean Theaters. *Key point: *These next-generation patrol boats, which improve on the design of the World War II-era PT boat and continue that tradition, are an important way to protect coastal waters. Late in the day on October 24, 1944, all of the available 39 patrol torpedo (PT) boats of the U.S. Seventh Fleet were traveling at high speed into the Mindanao Sea just south of Leyte Gulf. By dusk they had taken up position in a patrol line. The journey of the boats from Ne... more »
Why Japan Chose The F-3 Over America's F-35 Stealth Fighter
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* The F-3 is going to be an important plane for the JSDF in the decades to come. *Key Point:* The F-3 is also a way for Japan to maintain its domestic aerospace design capability. In February 2019, Japan turned heads with its decision to proceed with the development of an indigenous stealth fighter jet. This came in the wake of the decision to purchase more than one hundred American F-35 jets, and the supposed cancellation of the Japanese X-2 stealth fighter prototype in 2018. The Japanese Ministry of Defense announced the move to develop the new fi... more »

Universal Healthcare Is Nothing To Fear— A Guest Post By Julie Oliver
After her first run against corrupt Republican Roger Williams-- in a gerrymandered central Texas district where she did far better than anyone expected-- Julie Oliver was unsure if she would run again. But at that time-- back in February-- she wrote a post about universal healthcare. “Those who use ‘socialism’ as a pejorative term to fear-monger,” she wrote, “want you to think that America can’t afford to provide universal healthcare. But the fact is, we can’t afford *not* to.” [image: Goal Thermometer]On her campaign website, Julie is clear: she is “running a bold campaign for Me... more »

Russia Collusion: Kremlin Funds Anti-American Activism at UN

You are being manipulated about gender dysphoria and transitions
Don't believe the misinterpretation of the data. Compared with the general population, the researchers explain that gender dysphoric individuals after "treatment" have extremely high levels of mental health problems: six times the rate of visits for mood or anxiety disorders; more than three times the rate of prescriptions for depression or anxiety; and more than six times the rate of hospitalization after a suicide attempt. This is not how normal medical research is done--so what is the agenda? Yet when normal, rational people object to men on women's athletic teams or being force... more »

This Is the Gun That Changed History
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Americas* Meet the awkward-to-load long rifle. *Key Point:* Not a Glock or a Sig Sauer, that's for sure. The battle at Kings Mountain in October 1780 was the only clash of the American Revolution in which the entire colonial force was armed with American long rifles. Thus this decisive engagement provided a distinct and undisputed test of 18th-century European close-order, volley-fire tactics against the precision-fire, open-order techniques favored by colonial frontier riflemen. Terrain and tactics were factors in the battle’s outcome, of c... more »
The Navy SEAL's MK-23 Pistol Is A Truly Bizarre Weapon
*Matthew Moss* *Technology, Americas* And only the SEALs have it. *Key point: *SOCOM asked private companies to come up with what it called an “Offensive Handgun Weapon System.” The weapon would shoot ammo that was “hotter”—loaded with extra or more powerful gunpowder—than traditional military rounds. The MK-3 “becomes less effective after firing 24 rounds,” an official naval manual notes. “The suppressor insert refurbishes the suppressor.” The Navy’s SEALs are well-known for their exotic guns—everything from machines gun to grenade launchers … and several iconic, quiet handguns... more »
Trump's Partisan Problems Will Save His Presidency
*W. James Antle III* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] The more impeachment looks like an exercise in partisan futility, the less likely it is to command the public’s attention and garner the support of independents. There is a certain dark humor in impeaching President Donald Trump over delaying the transmission of aid to Ukraine pending an investigation that could influence the 2020 presidential election and then delaying the transmission of the articles of impeachment pending a trial better suited to influence the 2020 presidential election. At least the Ukranian governme... more »
Japan Had a Crazy Idea for a 'Second Pearl Harbor'
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * An idea for another kamikaze weapon--but this one never panned out. Why? Imperial Japan faced a vexing dilemma in World War II: it had military bases sprawling across far-flung Pacific islands from Rabaul in Papua New Guinea to the Attu and Kiska islands near Alaska. But the merchant ships necessary to supply, reinforce and especially *feed* those garrisons were being sunk left and right by the U.S. Navy’s highly effective submarines and bombers. The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) increasingly had to rely on its own submarines to deliver supplies t... more »

Christians are being purged in the Middle East except in Israel
The story of how Muslims treat Christians better than Israel does is not supported by the facts. The only country in the Middle East where the Christian population is growing is Israel. Since the Palestinians assumed control of Bethlehem in 1995 the Christian population has decreased by 64%. Meanwhile in Israel in 2018 the Christian population grew by 1.5%. A study done by the UK showed the pervasive persecution of Christians: "Pervasive persecution of Christians, sometimes amounting to genocide, is ongoing in parts of the Middle East, and has prompted an exodus in the past two de... more »
If Pelosi really believes that Trump is a security risk why is she stalling impeachment?
Jerry Nadler said that Trump "will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution" if the 2016 election isn't nullified and we the people retain the right to decide who we have as President. Pelosi hasn't said that she thinks Nadler is wrong but she's suddenly slow rolling the whole impeachment effort. Clearly none of the Democrats who told us why they had to rush the impeachment process believed what they were saying. But that's nothing new. The entire impeachment process has been Democrats switching from one baseless claim to another hoping to find something, anything,... more »
Will China Eventually Invade Taiwan?
Reuters *Ian Easton, National Interest: **Is It Only A Matter Of Time Before China Invades Taiwan?* *What can America do?* *Key Point:* Making sure Taiwan has the strong self-defense capabilities it needs will help keep the globe's greatest powder keg from ever igniting. Various sources from within the People's Republic of China have allegedly suggested that time is running out for Taiwan's democracy. In their narrative, China's iron-fisted leader, Xi Jinping, is "losing patience" and could order the invasion of Taiwan in the early 2020s. The world's most dangerous flashpoint mig... more »

“Too Much Rain Will Kill Ya”
*“Too Much Rain Will Kill Ya”* by Bruce Krasting "My first week on Wall Street was in August of 1973. I was newbie to NYC. My office was on the south side of 100 Wall, on the second floor, looking out over Front Street. There was a tremendous thunderstorm one afternoon.

Worse Than Scrooge
Over the holidays, Paul Krugman wrote that some people are comparing Donald Trump to Scrooge. But they're wrong. By Trump era standards, Scrooge was a nice guy: While Dickens portrays Scrooge as a miser, he’s notably lacking in malice. True, he’s heartless until he’s visited by various ghosts. But his heartlessness consists merely of unwillingness to help those in need. He’s never shown taking pleasure in others’ suffering, or spending money to make the lives of the poor worse. These are things you can’t say about the modern American right. In fact, many conservative politicians... more »
