America’s “Two”-Party System Is Like Bill Cosby’s Routine About Beating His Children
Today I just want to make the simple observation that America’s two-headed one-party political system is a lot like an old stand-up bit Bill Cosby once did about beating his children. The bit I’d like to highlight is from Cosby’s 1983 special “Himself”. Society’s attitude […]

Hate Donald Trump? That Feeling Won't Win the Election in November
*Daniel A. Cox* *Politics, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC20CF9CEMGX&share=true] Rage isn't the answer. Barring a seismic makeover, Donald Trump is poised to run for reelection disliked by most Americans. Even as his job approval ticks up in recent polls, the public’s view of Trump is largely settled. The RealClearPolitics average has Trump facing a double-digit deficit in personal popularity.

China's Censorship And Propaganda Have Made Coronavirus Into A Monster
*Paul Gardner* *Security, Asia* Early action could have made a difference. China’s political leaders will be hoping that when concerns about the coronavirus eventually start to recede, memories about the state’s failings early on in the outbreak will also fade. They will be particularly keen for people to forget the anger many felt after the death from Covid-19 of Dr Li Wenliang, the doctor censured for trying to warn colleagues about the outbreak. After Dr Li’s death, the phrase “We want freedom of speech” was even trending on Chinese social media for several hours before the po... more »
The Royal Navy Absolutely Annihilated Germany's Most Heavily-Armed Battleship
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Europe* The Scharnhorst proved far more than the Kriegsmarine’s other capital ships. *Key point:* German battleships never engaged their British peers again in battle. The Scharnhorst was far from the most heavily armed battleship deployed by the Kriegsmarine—but she arguably was its most successful. She and sistership Gneisenau were laid down in 1935 with nine 283-millimeter guns with a range of twenty-five miles—significantly smaller than those on British battleships so as not to spook London over German rearmament. Nonetheless, Scharnhorst measure... more »

That means building or buying all of the latest goodies from drones to stealth fighters. On January 12, 2019, the Defense Intelligence Agency released an annual report highlighting the radical reorganization of China’s People’s Liberation Army to become faster-responding, more flexible and more lethal than ever before. *This first appeared in January 2019... more »
See This Boring Looking Plane? It Beat Hitler and Won World War II
*Sam McGowan* *History, Americas* [image: Douglas C-47] And it kept going in Korea and Vietnam. Even though, technically at least, it was not a combat airplane, the performance of the Douglas C-47 transport led General of the Army Dwight Eisenhower to label it as one of the most important weapons of World War II. It carried no armament and was not designed to drop bombs, but the C-47 and other variations of the Douglas DC-3 twin-engine airliner quickly proved their worth both on and off the battlefield as they became a familiar sight all over the world. Eisenhower was not exagger... more »

Trump Isn't the Only American Who Thinks Climate Change Is a Hoax
*Jérôme Viala-Gaudefroy* *Environment, Americas* American polarization has deep roots in racial, religious and ideological divisions and can be traced back to the reaction of conservatives to the cultural, social and political transformations of the 1960s and 1970s. 2019 will not be remembered as the year when the world finally united to save the planet.

*Victor Davis Hanson* *Public Health, World* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2020%3Anewsml_RC2BEF9PJ55C&share=true] Keep calm and wash your hands. The recent spread of the coronavirus is causing a global panic. Our shared terror arises not so much from the death toll of the new flu-like disease—more than 3,000 people have died worldwide—but from what we don’t know about it. Experts at least agree that the virus originated in China. But Beijing’s authoritarian government hid information about its origins, spread, and severity for weeks. Such du... more »
Yes Grenade Launchers Are Still a Favored Weapon by Troops Around the World
*James Clark* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2019%3Anewsml_RC1B9FEB4F50&share=true] A very useful weapon. *Key point:* When you need a good explosion during a fire fight, grenade launchers will help in a pinch. This is why they are still kept in arsenals the world over. Infantry platoons bristle with direct-fire weapons, but everyone loves a grenade. Grenades give ground troops the ability to send a big boom of fire and shrapnel over a wall or hedgerow, inside a window, or wherever else you can wing one. The catch, of cour... more »
Why the Air Force Never Built Its YF-23 Mach 1.6 Stealth Fighter
*David Axe* *History, * Lost opportunity? *Key point:* The Air Force instead ordered what became the F-22. Although it could have been replaced by a faster plane, the F-22 has held its own. The U.S. Air Force came very close to buying a rocket ship. In 1991, the Air Force selected Lockheed’s YF-22 fighter over Northrop’s YF-23 as the basis for the service’s new air-superiority fighter. That wasn’t the only major decision the Air Force made at the time. The service also selected Pratt & Whitney’s YF-119 as the engine that would power that YF-22, in the process rejecting General E... more »

Primus's students on Ely: A short comment
For obvious reasons, I am fascinated by the "report from the field" filed by Richard Primus about his students' response to reading John Hart Ely's *Democracy and Distrust *in 2020. Their response strikes me as exactly right. To a remarkable degree, as Jack Balkin suggested in a classic article on "The Footnote" (i.e., Footnote 4 of Carolehe Products), the skepticism about the treatment of "discrete and insular minorities" was offset by a touching non-skepticism about how the American political system worked with regard to the "ordinary public."

Inside Clean Energy: An Energy Snapshot In 5 Charts
For people who devour energy data like Thin Mints, last week was a special one, with the release of a trove of numbers from the Energy Information Administration showing us how 2019 fits into the bigger picture of the transition to clean energy.

Fear Pervades Black Politics, And Makes Us Agents Of Our Own Oppression

The aircraft-carrier form has proven remarkably flexibly, serving in one way or another for nearly a hundred years.

Is there a Johnsonism?
Asked about matters of doctrine at the height of her powers, Theresa May declared there was "no such thing as May-ism, just good old fashioned Conservatism." That wasn't strictly speaking true.
