The Second Article of impeachment is an unconstitutional fascist power grab by Democrats
The Second Article of impeachment the Democrats created says that the President can be thrown out of office if he doesn't do whatever the House wants him to do. The specific claim is that by exercising executive privilege, something pretty much every modern President has done, Trump is "obstructing" Congress. Of course the first problem is that according to the Constitution a President can only be impeached for a crime: *The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, o... more »

See This Drone? It Could Make the F-35 and F/A-18 Even Deadlier
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* This will revolutionize warfare *Key point:* More and more military techniques can be completed by robots. The Navy will launch formal flight testing in 2021 for a new, first-of-its kind carrier-launched drone engineered to double the attack range of F-18 fighters, F-35Cs and other carrier aircraft. The emerging Navy MQ-25 Stingray program, to enter service in the mid-2020s, will bring a new generation of technology by engineering a new unmanned re-fueler for the carrier air wing.

Trump Doesn't Care About Facts, But Neither Do His Critics
*Michael F. Cannon* *Politics, * They should all live up to a higher standard.

AR-500: This Might Be the Most Powerful Rifle You Can Buy
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* A monster and we mean it. *Key point:* The AR-500 rifle isn’t for everyone. The endless adaptive nature of the AR-15 rifle platform has made it one of the most modifiable weapons in history. From buttstocks to barrels, the rifle can be customized in a variety of ways to improve power, functionality and appearance. One major innovation in the field of power is the AR-500. The AR-500 fires a modified .500 Smith & Wesson bullet, the .500 Auto Max, resulting in a rifle that manufacturer Big Horn Armory claims can down “any dangerous game animal... more »
This Picture Shows Hitler's Very Own 'Stealth' Fighter (The First Stealth Fighter?)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Reality or just a myth. One expert gives us his take. *Key Point:* Could this have helped Hitler win the war? Northrop Grumman revealed this year it is developing a second flying wing stealth bomber, the B-21 Raider, to succeed its B-2 Spirit. However, it was a pair of German brothers in the service of Nazi Germany that developed the first jet-powered flying wing—which has been dubbed, debatably, “Hitler’s stealth fighter.” But maximizing speed and range, not stealth, was the primary motivation behind the bat-shaped jet plane. Walter Horten was... more »
The Crazy Story of How Nazi Soldiers Fought With China Against Imperial Japan
*Kevin Knodell* *History, Asia* Wild. *Key point:* Until Berlin allied with Tokyo, German officers had been training and assisting Chiang Kai-Shek. These soldiers didn't want to leave China to its fate, but they had their orders. Most people who stayed awake for at least half of their high school history class knows that the Axis Powers in World War II consisted of Germany, Italy and Japan. But few know that German tactics and weapons—not to mention some actual Germans—helped the Chinese Nationalists stall Imperial Japan’s conquest of China. For about a decade, German soldiers ... more »
The Navy SEALs Have Plans For Small, Deadly Submarines
*Joseph Trevithick* *Security, * Take a look. *Key Point:* Would this work or is this a bad idea? The U.S. Navy is hard at work developing new underwater transports for its elite commandos. The SEALs expect the new craft—and improvements to large submarine “motherships” that will carry them—to be ready by the end of the decade. SEALs have ridden in small submersibles to sneak into hostile territory for decades. For instance, the special operators reportedly used the vehicles to slip into Somalia and spy on terrorists in 2003. Now the sailing branch is looking to buy *two* new ... more »
There's One Good Reason for Why Onions Make You Cry
*Minda Daughtry* *Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] Need a handkerchief? Onions are grown and used all over the world, and anyone who has cut into one knows that it can make you cry. This happens because onions release an irritating chemical that makes your eyes sting. Onions are mostly water, plus some vitamins and sugar compounds. They also contain compounds that include sulfur, a natural chemical found in many smelly substances, such as skunk spray and garlic. This is one way that plants defend themselves – producing substances that repel creatures who might eat them. Other... more »

Bernie Sanders support Iran's seizing 52 American diplomats in 1979
At the time Sanders was a presidential elector for the Trotskyite Socialist Workers' Party. Their Presidential candidate, Andrew Pulley, spoke at a meeting at the University of Vermont chaired by Sanders. Pulley said: *In his standard stump speech, Pulley condemned “Carter’s war drive against the Iranian people,” and said that the U.S. “was on the brink of war with Iran,” which would be fought “to protect the oil and banking interests of the Rockefellers and other billionaires.” Americans, he predicted, would soon “pay on the battlefields with our very own lives.” Their criticism o... more »
The Age of Open Assassination
Photo Credit: USAF Photo by Senior Airman Haley Stevens via DVIDS *Editor’s Note: The killing of Qassem Soleimani is only the latest U.S. killing of enemies with terrorism links—a process that began with President George W. Bush, accelerated under President Barack Obama, and now has expanded to include state actors like Soleimani under President Donald Trump. Audrey Kurth Cronin of American University argues that these killings are a strategic mistake. The norms and laws against assassination protect strong powers like America more than weak actors like terrorist groups, and U.S. ... more »

*Peter Hasson* *Politics, * “This should never be the case,” she wrote. “The cruelty of our immigration system becomes clearer every day. We must stop detaining immigrants and start giving them pathways to citizenship.” Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Thursday called for the U.S. government to cease detaining illegal immigrants. Omar tweeted an ABC News story about a tiny Georgia town having more detained illegal immigrants than residents. Her takeaway: America shouldn’t be detaining those who cross the border illegally. “This should never be the case,” she wrote. “The c... more »

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: A U.S. Air Force Boeing B-52F-70-BW Stratofortress (s/n 57-0162, nicknamed] Warfare History Network spoke to the decorated war hero. *Key point: *Rather than a massive influx of U.S. troops into South Vietnam all at one time, a gradual buildup or escalation began, a seemingly never-ending process that grated on the American public back home and was ineffective in the end.

This Picture Shows an 'AR-15' Pistol (And Its Legal)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* How could it be? *Key Point:* Should this even be legal? The AR-15 series of rifles is one of the most versatile long gun platform ever invented. Developed in the late 1950s, the AR-15 is available in broad array of calibers, from .50 Beowulf to .22 Long Rifle. One of the most novel adaptations of the platform is to accommodate semi-automatic handgun calibers. The result is a weapon that appears similar to the basic AR-type weapon but which has significant differences “under the hood.” The original AR-15 weapon was adopted by the U.S. milita... more »
Why Universities Need to Come to Grips With Their Past Racist Teachings
*Evadne Kelly, Carla Rice* *Politics, Americas* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/USA-GM1E85P07RT01.html] Here's an example. For the first time, a Canadian university — the University of Guelph — is reconciling with its history of teaching eugenics. Few universities in Canada have looked closely at their historical involvement in oppressive research, teaching and practice. Fewer still have made their archives accessible. Through the first half of the 1900s, the eugenics movement had close ties to post-secondary institutions. For example, leaders at the University of ... more »
Taiwan Is Not Worth A War With China (For 1 Key U.S. Ally, That Is)
*Hugh White* *Security, Asia* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/AUSTRALIA-BUSHFIRES--RC2YCE91JAD9.html] Especially for Australia. *Key Point:* Taiwan puts Ameirca in between a rock and a hard place. Paul Dibb, in his recent Strategist post, writes that America’s strategic position in Asia would be fatally undermined if it didn’t go to war with China if China attacked Taiwan, and that Australia’s alliance with America would be fatally undermined if we didn’t then go to war with China too. The conclusion he draws is that, in the event of an unprovoked Chinese attack on... more »

*Harry J. Kazianis* *Security, Asia* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/NORTHKOREA-USA--RC2XCE915EMN.html] The strategy worked against the Soviet Union, and it can work here too. *Key Point:* With war too catastrophic to consider, and the status quo untenable, containment and diplomacy is the only solution to the Korean Crisis. WHEN WE consider the possibility of a military operation against North Korea, it is helpful to take a step back and consider from Pyongyang’s perspective how it might respond. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may not wish to counter such a strik... more »
Real Empire State: New York's Government Is Twice The Size of Florida's
*Chris Edwards* *Politics, * When each state has a comparable population to the other. New Census data show that Americans are continuing to move from high-tax to low-tax states. One of the largest migration flows is from New York to Florida, as discussed in this Cato study. The exodus from New York is sad, but the blame falls on the politicians who impose high-cost government on the state. New York’s high taxes are a side effect of excessive state and local spending. The excess is clear when comparing New York to Florida. The table below shows Census data for state and local sp... more »
Japan Planned to Attack Pearl Harbor (Yes, Again)
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Why didn't it? *Key point: *Japan should not have antagonized America. At 7:45 AM on the morning of December 7, 1941 Commander Mitsuo Fuchida gazed exultantly from the rear seat of his B5N bomber at the serene vision of Pearl Harbor below him, it’s defenses unprepared for the onslaught about to befall them. He then rolled back his bomber’s canopy and fired off a dark blue “black dragon” flare, signaling for the 182 combat aircraft behind him to press the attack. Minutes later he exuberantly radioed the message “Tora! Tora! Tora!” Over the next t... more »
It Wasn't Luck That No U.S. Soldiers Were Killed In Iran's Strikes On Iraq
*Mackenzie Eaglen* *Security, * It was intended. Know This: The fact that no Americans perished in Iran’s strike on US bases inside Iraq last week was no accident. It would be false comfort to assume that the lack of casualties means that Iran is unsophisticated or incapable militarily. Quite the contrary. An Iranian military commander said it was intentional that there were no deaths, and policymakers should believe him. To understand some of the military implications of Iran’s first retaliatory attack against the United States for the killing of General Qassem Soleimani, poli... more »

Why The Liberals Are On Top In Ontario
All of Ontario's teacher's unions are now prepared to strike. The teachers claim there are several issues in the mix -- class sizes, e-learning, all day kindergarten. The government claims there's only really one issue -- compensation. It has declared that all public servants will receive a 1% raise. The teachers want 2%. And, in the midst of this confrontation, comes news of the Ford government's plans for higher education in the province. They want to tie funding for colleges and universities to what the graduates of these institutions earn. Martin Regg Cohn writes: Over the ne... more »

Nonsense Can Establish Sense
Nonsense is not always wasteful and destructive—the history of past 3000 years is replete with instances of sense being established through nonsense. The cosmology of Homer and Hesiod was nonsense, but their legends played a seminal role in the evolution of Ancient Greek culture and philosophy. In their search for a method of turning base metals into gold, the alchemists of the Middle Ages discovered several important facts of chemistry. In 13th century, Thomas Aquinas wanted to prove the existence of god but his efforts led to the rise of Aristotelian philosophy in Europe. In the 17... more »
