The Far Left in the 2020s
Taking a break from weightier matters, it's time we turned to one of this blog's more niche interests: how will Britain's band of self-described revolutionaries and assorted extra-Labour left projects fare in the decade ahead? Before we look to the future, it's necessary to reflect on the past. And, well, what can you say. Perhaps nothing better demonstrates what has happened by comparing the spread of the far left's collective general election challenge from 2015 with the meagre numbers mustered in December.

Social Media Pearl Clutching and CNN's Iranian Retaliation Pregame Show
I am still trying to wrap my head around all the crazy reactions from dropping one on Iranian General Soleimani this past weekend. Whether it’s the hilarity of comparing Ilhan Omar’s comments about 9/11 as “some people did something” against her calling a drone strike on an Iranian who trained troops to carry out terrorist operations in foreign countries an “outrage” or seeing the reactions on the other side clutching their pearls because any military action obviously means we are going in to a full scale war, there is literally no in-between.

Did sexism, idiocy drive nominations?
*TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 2020Gerwig on the cross:* According to future experts, this was always likely to be the year which kicked off the global conflagration known as Mister Trump's War. We didn't know that the commander-in-chief would start on January 2! But as we've been telling you, we'll guess there may be many more such deeds before this year is through. Our tribe has already lost this competition, through decades of hapless behavior. As a group, we've persistently shown that we're too dumb to notice *anything* happening around us. Once Donald J. Trump was elected, it was alre... more »
The deliberate murder of the Star Wars mythos
I've been as disgusted as anyone by the deliberate trashing of the *Star Wars* mythos by Disney's final three movies in the franchise. Their social-justice-warrior, liberal-progressive focus has been blindingly obvious, and box office results have confirmed that many fans have seen through the smokescreen to the reality beyond. Others have seen it as well. Bill Whittle gave a concise breakdown of the scale of the problem in a recent video discussion that he called "The Unmaking of Star Wars: Why Progressives Killed It and How". I highly recommend it. John Nolte discusses "1... more »

Germany, UK, Canada, And Others Begin Moving Troops Out Of Iraq After The Iraqi Parliament Approved A Non-Binding Resolution Calling For The Withdrawal Of All Foreign Forces
*FOX News:* *Germany, UK, others begin moving troops out of Baghdad, Iraq amid tensions following death of Soleimani* Germany and several other European nations on Tuesday began moving troops out of Baghdad, with some leaving Iraq entirely, amid soaring tensions in the region after an American drone attack that killed Iranian Gen.

Is There Such a Thing As a "Light" Aircraft Carrier?
*David Axe* *Security, * [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth-class_aircraft_carrier#/media/File:HMS_QueenElizabeth_RO8-2.jpg] The U.S. Navy thinks they might be the future. *Key Point:* U.S. models would be based off the British Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers. The U.S. Navy is beginning to deploy its nine amphibious assault ships with large numbers of fixed-wing F-35B Lightning II stealth fighters, in essence transforming the 40,000-ton-displacement vessels into light aircraft carriers.

What Are Glock Owner's #1 Complaint?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/USA-GUNS-NRA-RC1927B99060.html] A light trigger. *Key Point:* At the end of the day, it's the gun owners responsability to fire the weapon. Handgun maker Glock advertises its pistols as the embodiment of perfection, and the Austrian-designed handguns have indeed attracted a fanatical following. One complaint about Glocks, however, is that their trigger pull is too light to be safe, causing accidental discharges. Is there any basis to this rumor? The Glock 17 handgun was released in the United States in th... more »
North Korea Owes Its Very Existence (And More) To China
*Daniel L. Davis* *History, Asia* This history continues to shape Asia today. *Key Point:* Mao believed that if he could push one of America’s most famous generals out of North Korea, he could cause great fear and doubt in Washington, which he could use to strategic advantage. On June 25, 1950, the North Korean People’s Army (NKPA) under Marshal Kim Il-sung launched a no-notice invasion of South Korea. Many are familiar with the failings of “Task Force Smith” in the first week of the war and MacArthur’s brilliant landings at Inchon that September. Few, however, realize the decis... more »

AAP Image/David Mariuz/via REUTERS] Uh-oh. New South Wales police charged more than 20 people for deliberately starting fires across Australia as the country beats back wildfires.

Romania's Aegis Ashore Is Now Online and Can Shoot Down Enemy Missiles
*David Axe* *Security, Europe* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/ROMANIA--GM1E9AS1OVF01.html] Aimed at Iran or Russia? *Key point:* NATO's missile shield will help defend it against any surprise attacks. A key NATO missile-defense site in Romania on Aug. 9, 2019 completed a three-month upgrade process that had forced operators to take the system offline. To fill the resulting gap in coverage, the U.S. Army in May 2019 deployed to Romania one of its seven Terminal High-Altitude Area-Defense missile-interceptor batteries. The THAAD deployment was controversial. The T... more »
Defensive Medicine And Kids: Millions Of Children Get Unnecessary Treatment
With health insurance costs having gone up for many Americans by 300 percent since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, there is concern about ways to contain costs. No one is willing to contain costs when it comes to children, a new study shows. In America's sue-and-settle culture, the big cost for medicine was not drugs or malpractice insurance, it was "defensive" medicine; running tests doctors know patients don't need, or providing a treatment that won't help, because they have to check off every box to prevent lawyers waiting to sue for malpractice. read more
Food As Medicine? The Evidence For Diet Impacting Mental Health Is Too Weak To Take Seriously
Though there is some evidence that a ketogenic diet can help people with epilepsy, the 'food as medicine' industry has instead made huge leaps into a lot of claims based on suspect evidence. While biologists will often note that there are a lot of food myths - turkey will make you sleepy, a child will run around like a maniac if they eat sugar - new ones are promoted just as fast, like that various diets significantly influence mental health and wellbeing. That is the issue; science may find one thing but surveys pretend to be just as valid, using claims of statistical significance ... more »

Moon Jae-in Wants Peace with North Korea. There's Just One Problem.
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, Asia* The sad reality is that unless the Trump administration changes its position considerably this year, Moon Jae-in’s peace overture to the North is as dead as disco. The Year 2019 was a long and lonely road for South President Moon Jae-in. His poll numbers were dropping. Relations with the United States were rocky, due in part to a time-consuming negotiation about defense cost-sharing on the peninsula (those talks remain ongoing). And his peace initiative with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, once thought to be so promising the year before, ra... more »

World War III is Coming—And So is the Draft
*Brandon J. Weichert* *Security, * Already, the forces of Russia, China, and Iran are conducting joint naval drills, Russian and American forces have already brawled with each other in Syria, and Russia has announced a key breakthrough in hypersonic weapons technology. It is only a matter of time before the situation becomes too tense, and the fighting begins.

$13 Billion Spent and the Ford Class Carrier Still Isn't Ready
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Disgraceful. *Key point: *It looks like the ship will be delayed until 2024. The U.S. Navy’s new aircraft carrier USS *Gerald R.

*Robert Farley* *Security, Middle East* It could bankrupt America and further destabilize the Middle East. *Key Point:* This is not what President Trump ran on. The JCPOA is dead--at least as the Trump Administration is concerned. For critics of the JCPOA, this represents a move in the right direction; the goal of U.S. policy should be the end of the Islamic Republic and the overthrow of the existing regime in Tehran. As long as this regime exists, no matter how constrained it is by bilateral and multilateral agreements, it will seek to undermine the stability of the established... more »
How the Glock 26 Inherited DNA From so Many Guns
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, Americas* [image: Reuters] Impressive. *Key point:* Glock learned from the best and took those features and combined them into one awesome gun. One of the most competitive markets in the world of handguns is the subcompact market. Guns with short barrels and small magazines, subcompacts are meant for those who favor carry-ability over firepower and range. The Glock 26, referred to by the company itself as the “Baby Glock,” is a compact weapon that can carry as much ammunition as full-sized nine millimeter handguns. The Glock 26 was released in 1994 ... more »
