Trump Is Blowing Up The Republican Party-- Who Will Blow Up The Democratic Party?
In a mea culpa yesterday, longtime Mississippi Republican operative Stuart Stevens wrote in the *Washington Post* that Republicans who supported-- and continue to enable-- Trump are responsible for the tanking of their party and the inevitable mess he made of America. What about *our* party? Luke Savage on Wednesday: Dealing With Coronavirus Requires Bold Action. The Democratic Leadership Won’t Take It. "The Democrats," he wrote, "have an opportunity to push for desperately needed, sweeping economic change in response to coronavirus. Instead, they’re letting themselves be outflanke... more »

An exercise in futility and political stupidity
Many of our large inner-city metropolitan areas are effectively out of control when it comes to crime and violence. Some are more visibly so than others; in this case, Baltimore, where the mayor has made a public appeal that's infuriating in its futility and blatantly obvious lack of truth. Baltimore Mayor Jack Young urged residents to put down their guns and heed orders to stay home after multiple people were shot Tuesday night amidst the coronavirus pandemic. Young said hospital beds are needed to treat positive COVID-19 patients and not for senseless violence. Seven people wer... more »

Congress Should Instantly Pay Americans $1,000 to Fight the Coronavirus Recession
*Steven Pressman* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] People need cash in hand. Much of the U.S. economy has effectively shut down as America increasingly takes the coronavirus pandemic seriously. Retail stores and restaurants across the country are vacant. The entertainment and hospitality industries are on hiatus. While necessary to slow the spread of COVID-19, this will have grave consequences for the economy as well as for the tens of millions of workers who depend on hourly wages to buy food, medicine and put a roof over their heads.

Russia's T-80 Tank: One Giant Mistake Or a Real Killer?
*David Axe* *Security, * The mighty T-80 fared poorly in Chechnya — because of a crucial design flaw. Sure, the T-14 Armata is cool, but have you heard of the T-80 series? On paper at lease, it packs a mean punch. The crowning achievement of the T-80 was its multifuel gas turbine engine. In a way, it was a success. Rather than the as-per-usual Soviet mistake of decidedly underpowered tanks driving off the assembly line, the T-80 came standard with a very powerful 1,250 horsepower under the hood. Extremely agile, the T-80 series was perhaps the most nimble Soviet tank ever produc... more »

COVID-19: THE TRUTH – Gov’t docs emerge to show how they’ve failed us all
In October 2016 the UK government ran a national pandemic flu exercise. It was codenamed Exercise Cygnus. The report of its findings was not made publicly available, as part of the general antipathy towards the NHS in general by the Conservative party. But the then chief medical officer Sally Davies commented on what she had learnt from it in December 2016. The public will now pay with their lives for deliberate government inaction and total disregard towards their primary function – to protect us all.

The Socialist Specter In Present-Day US Politics
The US political scene is haunted by talk of socialism. The basis for this has been developing now for some years, especially since the financial meltdown of 2008, which many came to see as decisive proof that a capitalist economy does not serve the majority. But how does this new mass perception express itself? On the one hand, there is wide recognition of the grotesque level of inequality, as expressed in the slogan... more »
Coronavirus And The ‘Shock Doctrine’
In times of crisis like the current coronavirus pandemic, these sorts of calls for cooperation become the drumbeat of our daily lives. Unfortunately, no drumbeat ever gets everybody marching in sync.

Back in 2007, Naomi Klein explored this phenomenon brilliantly in her landmark book The Shock Doctrine.

5 Companies That Could Grow Massively During a Coronavirus Recession
*Hunter DeRensis* *economy, * No, not just Netflix. The United States economy is massively slowing down, with the prospect of a depression not far away.

But as the stock market freefalls and tens of thousands are left suddenly unemployed, some companies are seeing the direct benefit of having just the right products for a crisis.

Why Building a Supersonic Bomber Isn't so Simple
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Americas* [image: Reuters] Not so fast. *Key point:* These kind of planes might still be the future. But they are very costly and might not be economical enough during a war. The highest-stake geopolitical clash taking place today is for control of the waters of the Asia-Pacific. Will China assert de facto dominion over large expanses of those waters thanks to its growing military power, and thus be positioned to dictate terms to states like Japan, Vietnam, and Australia? Or will the United States and its regional allies maintain a credible counte... more »

The question is if London can pull that off? The Tempest was unveiled alongside a new “Combat Air Strategy” document marking the UK’s reorientation to preparing for high-intensity conflicts and the danger posed by modern anti-aircraft weapons. However, the document largely focuses on industrial and financial matters, particularly on keeping British military aerospace sector sustainable despit... more »
Singapore Succeeded in Containing Coronavirus. How Did They Do It?
*Dale Fisher* *Public Health, Asia* [image: Reuters] Preparation and execution are key. Singapore’s response to the coronavirus has been held up by many around the world as a model. As of this week, the country has had 266 total cases (with zero deaths), and its infection rate is much slower than the rest of the world. The first thing that helped with its response was it was ready before the outbreak even occurred because of the SARS outbreak of 2002-03. It was aware then that its infrastructure wasn’t ready for an outbreak of this kind. So, in the years since, isolation hospit... more »
The U.S. Is Trillions in Debt. Can We Afford Massive Stimulus to Fight the Coronavirus?

Here's all the different assistance that Beijing has rendered over the years.

Unfortunately, like so many other things in life, it’s complicated.

It would be the fastest plane ever in service if made. Like a bolt out of the blue, Lockheed Martin’s renown Skunk Works publicly teased one of aviation’s great snark hunts—revealing plans for a successor to the SR-71, the legendary Mach-3 reconnaissance plane designed with slide rules and retired when the millennials were born.
