The Republican Wing Of The Democratic Party-- Plus Some Republicans-- Make Their Move: STOP BERNIE!
Everyone knew Bernie would win yesterday, but no one predicted his win would be as decisive and sweeping as it turned out to me. You almost feel sorry for all the right-of-center, anti-working class pundits on MSNBC. I thought Chris Matthews was on the verge on moving on to the next world while the caucus votes were coming in, not to mention former Bush staffer Nicolle Wallace, and the man who has never been right about anything for two decades, James Carville. I don't know what Joy Reid or Claire McCaskill had to say since I press mute as soon as either one of them starts talkin... more »

UN draws up list to delegitimize Israel
UN Human Rights Council Delegitimizes Israel . . Washington Times Clifford D. May February 18, 2020 ANALYSIS/OPINION: A question: What do Eritrea, Mauritania, Somalia, Qatar, Pakistan, Libya and Venezuela have in common? An answer: All are lands ruled by chronic violators of basic human rights. And, oh yes, all are members of the U.N. Human Rights Council. This is no mere coincidence. Members of the UNHRC needn’t worry about being criticized by the UNHRC. Membership has an additional privilege: A license to slander Israel, the only state in the Middle East that actually guarantees ri... more »

*The Philosophical Force Driving the Fight to Rewrite History* Two recent stories that dominated academic Twitter were the cancellation of the Western Art History course at Yale and the incorporation of the 1619 Project in the school curricula in Buffalo, New York and Washington DC.

Libertarianism: The Impossible Ideal
Libertarianism is possible only for god; if not god, then for an angelic intelligence. It’s impossible for non-divine intelligence (normal human beings). For normal human beings, time moves from the past to the future by way of the present, but the libertarians believe in the primacy of the future. Disinterested in the past and dissatisfied with the present, they pole-vault directly into the future when their ideal free society is destined to be realized. The libertarian future is perpetually in the future; it has no potential for becoming the present or the past.

Size Isn't Everything: How Japan's Largest Aircraft Carrier Ended Up Below The Waves
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* America sent it down. *Key point: *A postwar U.S. Navy analysis suggested the Yamato-class ships, including *Shinano*, suffered from design flaws. If weight alone could determine victory, then the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier *Shinano* might still be afloat. At 69,000 tons when launched in 1944, the *Shinano* would have remained the world's largest aircraft until the 1960s. But that was not to be. Instead the *Shinano* earned a distinction of a different kind: the title of largest warship ever sunk by a submarine. And the submarine tha... more »
