Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* But not to worry Trump fans! You may miss the grifting, overt insanity, insecurity, and incessant whining if Money Mike takes the place of your man, but don't worry too much! Money Mike has plenty of scams, misogyny and racism to spread around! Plus, if he gets elected, his presidency will be a titanic failure just like Trump's! And then you can elect Don Jr., David Duke, Lou Dobbs, or even James Fields and take your dreamy Great American Fascism even further!

Forget Big Ships: These Cyclone Patrol Boats Would Fight The Navy's War On Iran
*David Axe* *Security, Middle East* The Cyclones are not widely known, but they are effective. *Key point:* The tiny but hard-hitting boats proved adept at shallow-water patrols. If the United States and Iran go to war in the Persian Gulf, the U.S. Navy’s smallest warships could be the first to see combat. The Navy’s 13 *Cyclone*-class patrol boats -- also known as “PCs” for “patrol, coastal” -- each displace just 330 tons of water.

The Russian air force deployed Su-57 stealth fighters to Syria a second time since first deploying them to the war-torn country in February 2018.

Two Political Scientists Told Us Why the 2020 Elections Are Going to Be Rough
*Douglas J. Ahler* *Politics, * And how to overcome them. With animosity between party supporters already at an all-time high, buckle up for what promises to be one of the most contentious elections in modern U.S. history. But even in this combative, polarized climate, some of the dislike and distrust that citizens feel toward the other side may be misplaced. One source of animus across party lines is stereotyping. People think that both parties – but especially the other side – are far more socially homogeneous than they actually are. *Assuming the extremes* In 2018, my colle... more »
