(Flickr/Phil Roeder, https://flic.kr/p/2aTdQCN; CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) On Feb. 28, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit decided *Committee on the Judiciary v. McGahn*. The panel held that the House of Representatives could not go to federal court to enforce a subpoena compelling testimony from Trump administration officials. Notably, the House will likely file a petition for rehearing *en banc*, so the decision below could soon be reconsidered by the full D.C. ... more »
Idlib's Internally Displaced Persons Crisis
Azraq camp for Syrian refugees in Jordan, 2017 (David Stanley/https://flic.kr/p/XMCB6A/CC BY 2.0/https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) The largest displacement of the nine-year Syrian civil war is currently unfolding in the northwestern part of the country. As the Syrian government bombards the city of Idlib—Syria’s last rebel-held area—nearly 1 million have fled toward Turkey since December 2019 in hopes of safety. Yet, Turkey has not let them in; it has kept its border effectively closed to asylum seekers since 2015. Turkey already hosts 3.6 million Syrians and has argue... more »

Silencing a Revolver
The Nagant M1895 revolver with Bramit device was engineered by Emile Nagant circa 1895 and manufactured in the 1930′s in the USSR. For those of you who were of the opinion that a revolver couldn't operate successfully with a silencer, you're wrong. At least in this case. 7.62x38mm seven-shot cylinder, double action silenced the shot by means of a gas seal where the cylinder, moving in contact with the barrel’s rear end, with the cartridge’s neck bridging the final gap. The Soviet Bramit-type suppressor, side loading gate and extended spring-loaded ejector rod. Engineering fo... more »

Angst on Wall Street, Another Bank Failure in India, as ‘Floating- Rate’ Monetary System Sinks
[image: For the third time recently, a significant Indian lending institution has failed and had to be nationalized, the $50 billion Yes Bank Limited in Mumbai.] Now is the time for the leading spacefaring, technologically powerful nations—particularly the United States, China, Russia and India—to create a new international system of credit for scientific and industrial development. The Bretton Woods system launched by Franklin Roosevelt’s Administration in 1944 was such a system, and gave many nations rapid growth and rising living standards until the City of London banks succeeded... more »

Coronavirus And Pandemic Pantries
Fears of imminent apocalypse tend to be midwives to absurdity. The stockpiling fever that has gripped various populaces in response to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has taken various forms. “Pandemic pantries” are becoming the norm, suggesting that hoarding in the crisis tends to be a precursor to petty crime.

Putin saves Erdogan from himself
At the start of their discussion marathon in Moscow on Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan with arguably the most extraordinary diplomatic gambit of the young 21st century.
Could Donald Trump Get Tricked Into Staying in Afghanistan?
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, Middle East* Shaming and/or unnerving Trump into slowing down or blocking troop withdrawals has been a highly effective tactic. Will Trump cave or end one of the longest 'forever wars' for good? The agreement between the United States and the Taliban is hardly a week-old, and President Donald Trump is already facing strong resistance from the usual suspects deathly allergic to U.S. troop withdrawals wherever they may be. *Politico* reported on March 3 that Sen. Lindsey Graham and former Gen. Jack Keane are on yet another personal crusade to per... more »
You Can Get on An Airplane for $8.60 in China (Thanks to Coronavirus)
*Mitchell Blatt* *Economics, Asia* It’s a cheap time to travel by air in China, if you are willing to deal with the risk of coronavirus. It’s a cheap time to travel by air in China, if you are willing to deal with the risk of coronavirus. Flight tickets from Beijing to Guiyang, 1,076 miles away, where you can take a bus to see the 255-foot-tall, 331-foot-wide Huangguoshu Waterfall, are listed at 80 yuan on Ctrip. That’s $11.53 US dollars, and it’s less than one-tenth the price of a high-speed rail ticket from Beijing to Guiyang. Across the country, airline ticket prices are des... more »
Russia Hopes This One Thing Will Cripple America's F-35 Stealth Fighter
*Michael Peck* *Technology, Europe* Sorry to disappoint you, Moscow. *Key point:* While simplicity is a virtue, it has its drawbacks, such as Russian jet engines that wear out too quickly. Surprise! America's F-35 stealth fighter is too complicated and expensive, claims a Russian military expert interviewed by Russian media. Hard to believe, isn't it? Yet while the Sputnik News interview might be dismissed as tendentious at best and propaganda at worst, it perfectly illustrates how Russia and the West view weapons technology. "The F-35 is a very complex system and, as such, it h... more »
What America (And Donald Trump) Could Learn from South Korea's Coronavirus Struggles
*Robert E. Kelly* *Health, * What can Trump and the U.S. learn from what South Korea has gone through so far? A professor in South Korea explains. As the coronavirus spreads to the United States, it is worth considering mitigation measures from the democracy which has so far dealt with the worst outbreak – South Korea. China, of course, has had a worse experience, but its authoritarian government can entertain countermeasures no democracy can, at least at this early stage. Democracies like the U.S. and South Korea face constitutional limits on the restriction of civil liberties... more »
Why Russia's First Nuclear-Powered Super Aircraft Carrier Never Sailed
*Paul Richard Huard* *Security, * It would have been enormous. *Key point:* It was intended to give the Soviet Navy a blue water aviation capability. Had she ever sailed, the Soviet supercarrier *Ulyanovsk* would have been a naval behemoth more than 1,000 feet long, with an 85,000-ton displacement and enough storage to carry an air group of up to 70 fixed and rotary wing aircraft. With a nuclear-powered engine—and working in conjunction with other Soviet surface warfare vessels and submarines—the supercarrier would have steamed through the oceans with a purpose. Namely, to kee... more »
Donald Trump Could Use These 5 Weapons in a War Against Iran
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Middle East* Iran’s day of reckoning may be near. *Key point: *Iran has sought to develop asymmetric military capabilities to offset America’s insurmountable conventional superiority. The Islamic State of Iran was born in enmity toward the United States. Led by the fiery cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, revolutionary leaders animated crows in Iran by lambasting “Great Satan” for any number of crimes, both real and imagined. It didn’t take long for this animosity to turn kinetic. As the Iran-Iraq War intensified throughout 1984, the two combata... more »
Russia's S-500 May Be Able To Target Stealth Jets
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Europe* The F-35 and F-22 could be at risk. *Key point:* The S-500 is formidable and could give the Air Force a run for its money. A few years back, Russian state media began leaking some information about the country’s next-generation air and missile defense system, the S-500. While maintaining that “most of the new system’s technical characteristics remain under wraps,” Sputnik began shedding some light on what those technical characteristics will be (although many of them have been previously reported elsewhere). According to the report, the S-500 “i... more »
Trump's Big Mistake: Cutting Money to Fight Diseases Like Coronavirus
*Linda J. Bilmes* *Security, * The Trump administration has put American lives in danger. As coronavirus continues to spread, the Trump administration has declared a public health emergency and imposed quarantines and travel restrictions. However, over the past three years the administration has weakened the offices in charge of preparing for and preventing this kind of outbreak. Two years ago, Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates warned that the world should be “preparing for a pandemic in the same serious way it prepares for war”. Gates, whose foundation has invested... more »
Meet The Nazi Pilot Who Shot Down 352 Aircraft And Survived World War II
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* A true ace. *Key point:* With far fewer military aircraft being deployed by modern air forces, it is highly unlikely that any pilot will even threaten Erich Hartmann’s status as warfare’s supreme aerial ace. By May 8, 1945, Adolf Hitler had been dead for more than a week. Germany was in the act of formally surrendering to the Soviets and the Western Allies, so occupying Red Army troops in the eastern German town of Brunn were not expecting to witness what may have been World War II’s last dogfight over Europe. They were watching entra... more »
Does Pakistan Or India Have The Better Army? Thanks To Nuclear Weapons, It Doesn't Matter
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Any serious confrontation could go nuclear. *Key Point:* The adversarial relationship between India and Pakistan makes the Indian subcontinent one of the most dangerous places on Earth. The Indian subcontinent is home to two of the largest armies on Earth. Not only are the armies of India and Pakistan both larger in personnel than the U.S. Army, but they have stood at alert facing one another since the dissolution of the British Indian Army in 1947. The two armies have clashed four times in the past seventy years, and may yet do so again in the fu... more »

The U.S. Military Is Dead Wrong: Hypersonic Weapons Can Be Defeated
*David Axe* *Security, * Hypersonic weapons steadily are getting better and more numerous and, in the future, could pose a serious threat to U.S. forces. But it’s not impossible to defend against them. The chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff seems a little confused about hypersonic weapons and what the United States can do to defend against them. U.S. Army general Mark Milley’s confusion was apparent in his March 4, 2020 testimony before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee. Milley overhyped the capabilities of China and Russia’s Mach-five missiles, potentially stirr... more »
The Battle For Okinawa Was So Bloody That It Helped Convince Truman To Nuke Japan
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* For the Japanese, defeat on Okinawa had been costly. *Key point*: The experiences of the Okinawa campaign weighed heavily on both the military and civilian leadership in the United States. To the Americans, Okinawa represented a major stepping-stone toward the final defeat of the Japanese Empire. The successful occupation of the island by American forces would provide air bases and naval facilities that would allow for attacks on the Home Islands themselves. To the Japanese, the surrender of a base so close to the heart of the empire woul... more »
Sorry, Bernie: Socialism Should Stay In the Trash Bin Of History
*Jarrett Stepman* *Politics, Americas* Look at what it's done around the world. It seems that Sen. Bernie Sanders can always find a way to look at the bright side of a communist dictatorship. Right after praising Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro’s literacy programs on CBS’ “60 Minutes” on Feb. 23, Sanders, I-Vt., decided to share a little praise of communist China as well. In a CNN town hall last week, Sanders doubled down on his praise of the Castro regime in Cuba, then said: “China is an authoritarian country, becoming more and more authoritarian. But can anyone deny—the... more »
See These Missiles? This Is How North Korea Could Attack with Nearly 'No Warning'
*David Axe* *Security, * Not nuclear weapons. *Key point: *The new super-large MLR extends the range and explosive force of Pyongyang’s existing non-nuclear arsenal. North Korea on Oct. 31, 2019 fired two rockets from its new “super-large” multiple rocket launch system, potentially escalating tension between Washington and Pyongyang as talks over North Korea’s nuclear-weapons program stall out. The projectiles launched from Pyongannam-do, a province around Pyongyang, *The New York Times* reported. The munitions flew up to 230 miles before landing in waters between North Korea a... more »

"Time To Debunk The Skeptics: COVID-19 Has A Death Rate That Is About 34 Times Higher Than The Flu"
*"Time To Debunk The Skeptics: **COVID-19 Has A * *Death Rate That Is About 34 Times Higher Than The Flu"* by Michael Snyder *March 3, 2020:* "COVID-19 is an extremely deadly virus, and nobody should be trying to downplay the severity of this outbreak. By now, you have probably heard a lot of people try to convince you that COVID-19 is not that dangerous because the flu has killed far more people this winter. And that is true. But what they aren’t telling you is that the death rate from the flu is extremely low. Tens of thousands of Americans die from the flu each year, but if this ... more »
MIKE PENCE IS DONALD TRUMP'S WIFE
Politico reports that Donald Trump and Mike Pence seem to have divided up the chores. Donald Trump is finally securing the presidency he’s always wanted: He rallies the people.

More on Biden....history of lies
Let the light shine on the Dems new 'leader'..... I am still convinced that he is just in this to knock out Sanders. When they hold the Dem convention this summer, if no candidate has the majority in the first round of voting, they will go to the 2nd round where the 'Super delegates' kick in. Look for a surprise pick at that point - maybe Hillary or Obama makes a comeback. Unless of course those who fund and control the Dems are actually quite happy with Trump and will enjoy seeing the 'good cop-bad cop' show in Washington continue during the next administration of 'The Donald' a... more »

On Slave Mentality
Aristotle says, there are some men who are by nature slaves. He is right. The world is full of knaves and savages whose is a slave mentality—they can be from any strata of society; in fact, many of them are the progeny of high culture. They are the reason why a nation with total freedom can never survive. The model of freedom that may work is the one that is founded on rule of law, and rule of law is founded on a system of authority which cannot be subverted and beyond which there is no appeal. My point is that without a system of authority freedom is impossible.
