"Only One Question..."
"There's only one question that matters, and it's the one you never get around to asking. People are capable of varying degrees of truth. The majority spend their entire lives fabricating an elaborate skein of lies, immersing themselves in the faith of bad faith, doing whatever it takes to feel safe. The person who truly lives has precious few moments of safety, learns to thrive in any kind of storm. It's the truth you can stare down stone-cold that makes you what you are. Weak or strong. Live or die. Prove yourself. How much truth can you take?" - Karen Marie Moning

Even JFK Doubted The Future Of Divided America
The White Supremacy in America is a classic case, which is older than rivalry between Americanism and Communism. Not the Democratic Party, but rather the embryo of the Republican Party and the Republican Party itself which was originally an organization that fights to raise the dignity of blacks. The most […]
LONGING FOR BETTER DISCOURSE: We're being muzzled, Nicolle Wallace says!
*THURSDAY, JULY 16, 2020Longs for uncensored discourse:* For our money, within our experience, it was the day's most significant statement. By far. The statement came from Nicolle Wallace, right at the start of yesterday's Deadline: White House program. The background goes like this: As she started yesterday's program, Wallace cited Donald Trump's "bizarre and startling performance" in the Rose Garden the day before. She also cited Trump's recent statement about having "undergone cognitive testing." At some length, she quoted from Peter Baker's report in the New York Times—a repo... more »
Do you love?
As much as I know, only Erich Fromm wrote a popular scientific book about love.

Doctors starve a Black man to death because his quality of life wasn't good enough: BLM silent
Michael Hickson, 46, was left to starve and his COVID19 wasn't adequately treated because doctors declared that his quality of life wasn't good enough. He was conscious, alert, and while unable to speak he was able to communicate via expressions. His wife didn't have authority over his health care because some other relative was suing her over that so the state took over Michael Hickson's life and decided that he didn't have a life worth living. He was a quadriplegic which apparently meant his life wasn't worth saving to the state. Even as his wife tried to get him treated the doc... more »

Apple skates on Irish taxes -- for now
On Wednesday, July 15, the European Union's General Court overturned a European Commission decision from 2016 that found Apple's tax arrangements with Ireland to constitute an illegal award of state aid (subsidies) that was incompatible with the common market, ordering the company to pay back €13 billion plus interest to the Irish government. As it has been almost four years since the Commission decision, let me refresh your memory on what brought about that outcome. The Commission found that, as a result of negotiated advance pricing arrangements (APAs), Apple paid an effective tax... more »

Andy mainly wants to persuade people on the Left that religious conservatives, though tragically misguided in our beliefs (especially on matters of sexual morality), are not necessarily evil, and that society can make some space for us in the public square instead of shunting us into ... more »
What Kind of Philosopher is Wittgenstein?
Wittgenstein—what kind of a philosopher is he? He creates the impression of being a self-consciously philosophical character, but not an expert philosopher. His ideas are interesting, but not particularly useful. A few of his perspectives are unique, but he is didactic and dry; we do not find him particularly touching and wise. He is disgusted by the ossified absurdities of philosophy and aims to discover the ultimate answers, but he is unable to avoid the philosopher’s plight of being mired in questions that are fundamentally unanswerable. He dwells on deep philosophical issues, bu... more »
Can China's Military Bases In the South China Sea Be Defended From Attack?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Just how useful are these islands in defense of China’s strategic goals? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *In any military confrontation with the United States, China’s at-sea outposts would almost certainly be quickly rolled back by waves of airstrikes and cruise missile attacks, devastating People’s Liberation Army facilities and stranding the personnel manning them.

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Beijing has 'created' more than 3,200 acres of new land. *Key Point*: A permanent presence on the ground would solidify China’s hold on the South China Sea. In recent years the People’s Republic of China has laid claim to ninety percent of the South China Sea, buttressing this claim by creating artificial islands with dredging equipment.

Meet America's Flying Aircraft Carrier (Yes, This Is Real)
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Americas* Meet the Akron-class airship. *Key Point*: Early disasters spelled the end for the flying aircraft carrier concept. Nearly a hundred years ago the U.S. Navy asked a question: if airplanes can fly through the air, why couldn’t a vessel carrying them fly through the air as well? The result was the Akron-class airships, the only flying aircraft carriers put into service in any country. Although promising, a pair of accidents—prompted by the airship’s limitations—destroyed the flying carrier fleet and ended development of the entire concept. The ... more »
China's QBZ-95-1 Assault Rifle Is A Powerful Product Of Beijing's Arms Revolution
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The QBZ-95-1 is a powerful and reliable, although slightly dated, weapon that was emblematic of the military revolution that began in China in the early 1990s and continues to this day. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The QBZ-95-1 is issued with a bayonet and, along with six WY-91 hand grenades, forms the firepower of the average PLA soldier.

The same February 2020 broadcast includes what apparently is new or at least rarely-seen footage of trials involving the Sejjil.

Hi, I'm back. Thank you, Yas! While I was away, I read this Greg Sargent post and had some thoughts: The Trump presidency is often described as whipsawed by competing impulses. In this telling, Trump’s reactionary, illiberal, anti-democratic tendencies periodically flare up and do targeted damage, but they often run aground against competing forces — his incompetence and the distraction of narcissism. The shorthand version of this: Imagine the damage a *competent and effective* Trump could do! But a new paper that develops a theory of leadership amid pandemics ... point[s] toward ... more »

*Even given Warmist assumptions, Warmist policies are not going to stop the warming any time soon* Much of the international effort thus far to combat climate change has focused on cutting emissions of greenhouse gases, chief among them carbon dioxide.

It and other greenhouse gases are produced when fossil fuels are burned to generate energy or power engines, in steel and cement-making, by farming and deforestation. In the lo... more »

College educated, hysterical, mostly white women
"If Biden is elected, the Marxists behind Black Lives Matter, Defund the Police, the de-incarceration of prisons, the end of bail, and every other entropy causing initiative will be in the driver’s seat in America. People will be amazed, in a terrible way, about how fast the road is to becoming the Mogadishu of the northern hemisphere. The end will come only when true totalitarianism appears on the scene because the strength of totalitarianism is the only thing that will stop the violence — and so the American people, ultimately, will embrace the tyrant that comes to claim them." ... more »
