"The Coronavirus Is Now An Actual Pandemic"
*"The Coronavirus Is Now An Actual Pandemic"* by Adam Taggart "While you wouldn’t know it by listening to the major media outlets, the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus continues to get worse. As does our understanding of its potential threat to the public health. At this point, we have to be honest with ourselves: *We are dealing with a true pandemic at this point.* Chris’ message is direct: we’re passed the point when this could have been contained and ‘blown over’ in a short period of time. This is going to get worse. Quite possibly a *lot* worse. It’s time to prepare folks. Be su... more »

The Anybody But Bernie Movement Starts Revving Up The Machine
The transpartisan establishment-- classically *conservative* by it's very nature-- is freaking the hell out. Despite their best efforts, the damn working folks look like they're going to give Bernie the damn nomination to take on the sitting duck criminal of an illegitimate "president" in November. The Emerson poll of Iowa likely caucus-goers that came out late Sunday must have been a very bitter pill for them all. Over the last month, Bernie picked up the most support, up 8 points.

Exposing an anti-gun hoax?

On Twitter he provided a picture of the printed threat, and another of it placed beneath a windshield wiper on his car. (He's since deleted the Twitter images.) Astute Twitterati observers analyzed the images. They very quickly realized that the reflections in the windshield, and the surrounding environment, showed that the vehicle was parked in a domestic garage (presumably his); and the photograph of the paper, taken in what looked like a normal... more »

The Democratic Obsession With Russia, Explained
*Ted Galen Carpenter* *Politics, North America* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2TLE9KM7RI&share=true] The Democrats have overestimated Russia's strength and threat to the United States. *Key Point:* Overblown rhetoric does not make good policy.

Okamura: integration of V4 needed to defend the European civilization
Tomio Okamura was born in Japan, is genetically half-Asian (quarter-Japanese, quarter-Korean), half-Czech, and is the leader of SPD, the main nationalist party in Czechia. His colorful ancestry should make you sure that the "Czech nationalist scene" is actually very meritocratic and fair. Far left loons are using the term "far right" for almost everybody these days but I find it likely that Okamura would be considered a classic "far right" even in the 1980s when the contemporary type of the extreme left was rather weak. Just a decade ago, I found it clear that I wouldn't ever vote f... more »

Taiwan Should Follow China's Lead And Buy More Anti-Aircraft Batteries
*David Axe* *Technology, Asia* Specifically SAMs. *Key point:* Taiwan faces one of the most difficult air-defense problems in the world. The Chinese military's new S-400 surface-to-air missile system can hit targets more than 150 miles away, if the reported result of the type's first-ever test in Chinese service is accurate. The Taiwan strait is just 140 miles across at its widest point, meaning that, in theory, Chinese S-400s could target Taiwanese warplanes shortly after they take off. But the short distance separating China and Taiwan works both ways. At the same time that ... more »

How Trump Rebelled Against The Generals
He actually shut them down. That was surely a good thing. All that is working now through the system and yes he will get us out of all these clearly optional wars that serve nothing except to train young officers. The core problem with generals is that they believe a bunch of stuff that is simply not true and whose purpose is to motivate them to follow orders to enter the thick of battle. That is one reason that i want to see the Chinese General staff slapped down as often as possible. And why the death of Solumani of Iran was decisive. The Mullahs suddenly lost their core... more »

Are Private Programs for ‘Troubled Teens’ Working?
