TRUMP IS JUST ASKING FOR AN ELECTORAL BEATDOWN
This is why most of America despises Donald Trump: President Donald Trump blasted "dishonest and corrupt" people Thursday morning at the National Prayer Breakfast, bashing his impeachment at the nonpartisan event with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just steps away.... In an apparent shot at both Pelosi, D-Calif., and [Senator Mitt] Romney, Trump said: "I don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say, 'I pray for you,' when they know that that's not so." ... Trump did not raise his hand when Harvard University profe... more »

Tales of Socialism
I’m guessing that a lot of young people in America have not heard some of the true tales of socialism that people around my age heard as adults. So it’s worth telling them. Here are four stories, not chronological but in order of my certainty. The first two I am pretty much certain of. The […] The post Tales of Socialism appeared first on Econlib.
War Powers: The Broken Balance Between the Branches
*Editor's Note: This post contains the text of a speech that former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson delivered on Feb. 6 at the American Constitution Society (ACS) Symposium at the Georgetown University Law Center.* ***** I am happy to be part of this symposium. I am a big fan of ACS; I have attended many ACS conferences in the past. And the subject matter—“unilateralist presidencies and submissive legislatures”—is of great interest to me. When I was invited here two months ago, by email received at 4pm on Dec. 16, I accepted at 4:11 that same day, and began an outline... more »
The House Impeachment: A Postmortem
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi speaks with attendees at the 2019 California Democratic Party State Convention. (Gage Skidmore, https://tinyurl.com/wsr9ydx; CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/) After two weeks of impeachment trial hearings, the Senate has acquitted President Trump. This outcome was never really in doubt: It was always apparent that there would likely not be a sufficient majority in the Senate to convict and remove the president. The question for Congress, rather, was whether it was worth pursuing an impeachment given that likely outcome. I... more »

Trump's State Of The Union - 'America First' or Neocon Foreign Policy?
While Trump's State of the Union speech did not overly focus on foreign policy, what he did say would have been music to neocon and pro-empire ears. Trillions for the US military machine and plenty of new enemies to gear up to fight. Plenty of elections to interfere with. Is this "America first"? Watch today's Liberty Report:
Labour leadership: Nandy pledges ‘truth and justice’ fight for DWP victims

Tasteless, clueless, classless, and just plain trashy
(And when I say "tasteless", I don't mean using tastebuds!) I refer, of course, to the seemingly growing fad among some women of marketing the scent of their nether regions. Gwyneth Paltrow started it, at a not-so-cool $75 per whiff. (Hilariously, a Canadian taxi company promptly copied her using the masculine equivalent at $25 *more* per pop, to highlight the "pay gap".) Now R&B singer Erykah Badu is doing her bit for the cause with a perfume claiming to embody (you should pardon the expression) the scent of her more intimate bits and pieces. She says it was derived from burnin... more »

Russia Is Building Radar To Detect Hypersonic Weapons (And Is Testing Them Too)
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Moscow is looking to make money by selling this technology. *Key Point:* Could this be a game-changer? Or is Russia exaggerating the truth? Proving yet again that one nation’s misfortune is another’s business opportunity, Russia says it will sell radars in the Middle East that are designed to detect cruise missiles and hypersonic weapons. The announcement follows a devastating attack – reportedly by drones and cruise missiles – on Saudi oil facilities last month. The U.S. and Saudi Arabia accuse Iran of being behind the attack, which ostensibly was ... more »
What If China Brings Back The Battleship?

S’pose China built a battleship. What would such a sea creature look like, and how would it fare in the bare-knuckles world of naval diplomacy and warfare? This is no mere flight of fancy. No, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is not about to embrace a retrograde approach to fleet design, sinking finite resources into majestic but obsolescent ship types. B... more »
FACT: The F-35 Stealth Fighter And F-4 Phantom Have A Lot In Common
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * In how the critics talk about them. *Key point: *A small history lesson sheds light on America's $1 Trillion-dollar stealth fighter. Conventional wisdom can offer contradictory insights. Are we doomed to forget the past, and thus condemned to repeat it? Or are we always preparing to fight the last war while failing to think ahead about how the next one will be fought? From the standpoint of military strategy, it is at once important to learn from operational experience, without blindly assuming that future conflicts will playout in the same fash... more »
Meet the JH-XX: China's Newest and Fastest Stealth Bomber?

But, here's why Beijing might not actually have a JH-XX ready yet. In January 2018, two sentences in an annual report by the DIA on Chinese military power sent a minor shockwave rippling across the defense-related internet: “The PLAAF is developing new medium- and long-range stealth bombers to strike regional an... more »

It appears that China's "new" QN-506 armored vehicle shows Beijing is still at it. Take the weapons on Russia's "Terminator" tank, stick them on a Chinese tank that first clanked out of the factory when Khrushchev was in the Kremlin and Castro captured Havana, and you have China’s newest armored vehicle.

Stormy Open Thread
Never mind Storm Ciara, is the BBC facing 'a perfect storm' at the moment? Anyhow, batten down the hatches, and here's a new Open Thread. Thanks for your comments.
NO REPORT TO REPORT ON
*A guest post by Arthur T...* William Mitchell, sculptor, 1925-2020 From the Open Thread the other day: On 22nd January 2020, the BBC News website ran the following story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-51214434 'Bracknell's William Mitchell Mural to move to car park' And yet, so far as I can see, the BBC have failed to report the death of Bill Mitchell, an innovative English sculptor on 30th January 2020. Why might that be? - probably just sloppy journalism. Clue: He was a deeply religious Roman Catholic whose work includes the magnificent Stations of the Cros... more »

The Error Bar: The Misunderstood
The error bar is probably one of the entities around, considering the whole corpus of scientific disciplines, with the highest value of the test statistic called "Duh ratio", defined as Duh ratio = (People who believe they understand its meaning but don't) / (People who actually understand it and know they do) It is easy to see why. The error bar is a visually simple device, meant to convey an immediate meaning. The main problem is that that immediate meaning is foundationally deceiving; and it is not the only one. In this brief article I wish to try and show you why that is so, ... more »
Brian Terry Kept a Journal..
Wes Walker posted a story on ClashDaily.com about the U.S. Border Patrol’s Brian Terry, who was murdered defending the southern border of the United States. The weapon used was put into the hands of the murderer in Operation Fast and Furious, Barack Obama’s attempt to start a revolt against gun ownership in this country. It seems that Mr. Terry recognized that there were bad things happening along the border in respect to the DOJ, and kept a private journal. He was fearful for his life, and as it turns out, rightfully so. One has to wonder if a bounty was … Continue reading →
