It's Not Moscow Mitch Who Is Preventing A Debate And Vote On Medicare-For-All... It's Pelosi
Pelosi's designated heir, Hakeem Jeffries of New York, was the last person to co-sponsor Pramila Jayapal's Medicare for All legislation (H.R. 1384). He was number 118 on the list of co-sponsors. That's over half the Democrats in the House for a bill that was introduced on February 27, 2019. Pelosi quickly farmed it out to a bunch of committees, some of which are chaired by hostile and corrupt anti-healthcare conservatives, namely the first two on the list: *•* Energy and Commerce- Frank Pallone *•* Ways and Means- Richard Neal *•* Education and Labor- Bobby Scott *•* Rules- Jim Mc... more »

"The New Mystery Virus In China Is ‘Adapting And Mutating’ And No Known Drug Works Against It'
*"The New Mystery Virus In China Is ‘Adapting And Mutating’* * And No Known Drug Works Against It'* by Michael Snyder "Global health officials are racing to contain the outbreak of a mysterious new coronavirus before it starts spreading wildly out of control all over the planet. Unfortunately, they may already be too late. The virus has now spread to at least seven other countries outside of China, and a whole lot of people are starting to panic.

A Guide To Help You Achieve Happiness
People are under the impression that what happens in their lives is out of their control. You cannot sit around waiting to see what life dishes out. People that wait around usually have minimal goals and hope that life will be kind to them. “Being happy is something that each of us determines, it is not something that we find outside of ourself, it is within us and our choice.” – Catherine Pulsifer Life is full of opportunities. You should set goals and learn all that you can from your journey along the way. This way, you should achieve success. Not all lessons are easy. However, ... more »

*NC: Turning Against Scholarship at Wake Forest * Nan Miller I love Wake Forest. I was there before the ban on drinking and dancing was lifted but there during an era when supplying freshmen with free samples of Winston and Salem cigarettes was standard practice. When friends at other schools asked how I liked being deprived on the one hand and ensnared on the other, I confided that I’d become an artful dodger of certain rules — including what felt like the requirement to smoke. It was only later that I saw what an advantage I’d had as an undergraduate at Wake Forest. By the en... more »

*Green? 50,000 Tons Of Non-Recyclable Wind Turbine Blades Dumped In The Landfill* Funny, no one seemed to consider what to do with the massive amount of wind turbine blades once they reached the end of their lifespan. Thus, the irony of the present-day Green Energy Movement is the dumping of thousands of tons of “non-recyclable” supposedly renewable wind turbine blades in the country’s landfills. Who would have thought? What’s even worse, is that the amount of wind turbine blades slated for waste disposal is forecasted to quadruple over the next fifteen years as a great deal mor... more »

From Australia to California, wildfires are a Big Brother problem
An article about the current wildfire crisis in Australia brought back echoes of recent comments about the same issue in the USA. It is very obvious who the people are who should be held accountable for the current mess. At the top of the list are the premiers and ministers responsible for land management, such as it is, and bushfire policy, and the public servants in their departments with jurisdiction over forests and national parks. State governments in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria have palpably failed to do the most important job they were elected to do: protect the... more »
Has reproducibility improved? Introducing the Transparency and Rigor Index
Some Retraction Watch readers may recall that back in 2012, we called, in The Scientist, for the creation of a Transparency Index. Over the years, we’ve had occasional interest from others in that concept, and some good critiques, but we noted at the time that we did not have the bandwidth to create it ourselves. … Continue reading Has reproducibility improved?

Forget Huawei: The Real China Internet Threat Come from 'Netware'
*Salvatore Babones* *Security, Asia* Expert: "In addition to WeChat, apps like Alibaba's Tmall ("China's Amazon"), DiDi ("China's Uber"), TikTok (video sharing), and Alipay (electronic payments) are all forms of online netware, a loose category of social technologies that make money by leveraging the size of their networks. Netware is even stickier than hardware or software, because once all your contacts are on the same network, it's very difficult for you to hop off."

Sailing These Russian Nuclear Submarines Was Basically A Suicide Mission
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Eurasia* Safety was sacrificed for the sake of performance. *Key Point:* The November-class submarined expanded Soviet influence, but at a cost. The United States launched the first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS* Nautilus*, in 1954, revolutionizing undersea warfare. The *Nautilus*’s reactor allowed it operate underwater for months at a time, compared to the hours or days afforded conventional submarines. The following year, the Soviet Union began building its own nuclear submarine, the Project 627—known as the *November *class by NATO. The resu... more »

*Andrew S. Erickson* *Politics, Americas* [image: People's Liberation Army Navy soldiers perform in front of destroyer Yinchuan at a naval base in Hong Kong, China July 8, 2017. REUTERS/Bobby Yip] It's a shadowy tool of Beijing's reach. *Key Point:* This conclusive exposure of PAFMM activities in the East China Sea should be an important reminder to policy-makers in Tokyo and Washington alike that Beijing is certain to continue to wield its third sea force as a tool of choice to probe and apply pressure vis-à-vis the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands.

In the aftermath of the 2016 elections, an intense and widening divide resurfaced among Americans. While initial fissures in U.S. society revealed themselves over twenty years ago, the split increased into culturally distinct and regionally localized areas during that time.

It’s a universal truth handed down since antiquity: a country with a coastline has a navy. Big or small, navies worldwide have the same basic mission—to project military might into neighboring waters and beyond.

Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) have traditionally been focused on mobility ... more »
Sweden's Plan To Build This Nuclear Submarine Would Have Been A Costly Disaster
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Europe* Good thing it didn't happen. *Key point:* There are many places along the Swedish coast for stealthy submarines to hide... In terms of modern diesel-electric submarines, it’s hard to beat Sweden. In 2005, one of them — the 200-foot-long HMS Gotland — sneaked up and virtually destroyed the American Nimitz-class carrier USS Ronald Reagan in a simulated war game. That was due in part to the ultra-quiet Stirling engines that power the Gotland. The Swedish navy, while small, has long reserved funds for submarines given its location and the likel... more »

The Real Cause of World War II Was the Allies Deception of Germany with the 1918 Armistice and the Subsequent Versailles Treaty
From the very signing most competent observers understood that the treaty guaranteed a second war. The tragedy is that it was undone by Hitler. History has plenty of bad deals undone in good order. so that was never an impossible option. In fact it was largely accomplished with the ejection of the French from the Rhineland in the mid thirties. An assertive competent government would have done as much then as all the flaws of the treaty were then obvious and that it crippled everyone including the so called winners. Churchill was one of the key promoters of British intervent... more »

Paratroopers: Russia's Secret Weapon In A Baltic Invasion
*Karol Ulc* *Security, Europe* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/UKRAINE-CRISIS-RUSSIA-MILITARY-RC1E19576510.html] Is this what the west should prepare for? *Key Point:* Russia could absorb the Baltic states in a matter of days. In February 2016, the influential RAND Corporation — a think tank closely aligned with the U.S. Air Force — published a paper in which it warned that a Russian invasion of the Baltic States could reach the capitals of Latvia and Estonia in *less than three days* even with a week of warning.

This Was America's Big Cold War Mistake Against the Soviet Navy

Back in the 1980s, a war with the Soviet Union seemed like a naval nightmare. Fiction writers like Tom Clancy and John Hackett painted a future where Western navies faced hordes of Red bombers, cruise missiles, submarines and surface warships.

Russia's Navy Is Having A Submarine Problem (And There Is No Easy Solution)
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Europe* While the Yasens probably have the ability to launch cruise missiles as well, that would still leave Russia with around 10 modern nuclear-powered SSNs and dedicated SSGNs alongside two-dozen boats in their thirties and forties facing looming retirement. *Key point:* Russia’s ballistic missile submarines will be in somewhat better shape in 2030.

In a *recent article for The Strategist*, I showed how Russia’s economic woes are negatively affecting plans to modernize the country’s military.

1917 (movie review)
During World War I, two British soldiers -- Lance Cpl. Schofield and Lance Cpl. Blake -- receive seemingly impossible orders.
