Defend U.S. Sovereignty Against the Blair Doctrine of Permanent War

Alicia at LaRouchePAC Feed - 16 hours ago
Defend U.S. Sovereignty Against the Blair Doctrine of Permanent War Video of Defend U.S. Sovereignty Against the Blair Doctrine of Permanent War What is the goal of the ongoing destabilization of the United States? Our nation's enemies are supporters of an imperial "globalist" doctrine, which gives supranational institutions control over nation states. The end of sovereignty was a project of Britain's Tony Blair, whose "intelligence" findings were used to justify regime change wars. Trump has pledged to end these wars, but his efforts have been blunted by Russiagate, which was con... more »

Good News: California Gets A New Senator

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
Yeah, Biden picked Kamala Harris as his running mate. It was probably the smart political move-- certainly better than Susan Rice, who he really wanted. Everyone seems to like the idea. Obama, who probably had a lot of influence on this choice, said "Joe Biden nailed this decision." David Axelrod coined a new word: "Kamalat." I can't imagine there is one Democratic Party careerist who isn't saying something positive, effusive, supportive. I'm not a Democratic Party careerist so let me just say I never voted for her when she ran for anything here in California and I'll be happy to ... more »

Welcome to America - out on the street!

Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to new numbers revealing an estimated 27% of adults in the U.S. missed their rent or mortgage payment for July and the eviction of an elderly woman with Coronavirus who was recently released from the hospital. There will be much more of this in the months ahead. This is what dog-eat-dog capitalist culture gives us. No humanity left in this country. No sharing hearts. No concern for the sick and the elderly. No concern for the poor. This makes me furious and heart sick. Thanks to Krystal and Saagar for speaking out. Bruce

Falling crime rates? Not so fast . . .

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 16 hours ago
We've spoken before in these pages about how bureaucrats "fudge" statistics to present the most favorable image to the public. It's long been the practice in many cities to either not record, or mis-classify, violent crimes, in order to allow local politicians to boast that they're being "tough on crime" and point to the statistics as evidence that they're doing a good job. Of course, the reality is the diametric opposite. City crime, particularly inner-city crime, is way up across the country, and getting worse. Therefore - inevitably - the efforts to mask that are getting more... more »

This Iranian Tank Is Waging War Across the Middle East

Caleb Larson at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Middle East* Iran’s defense industry relies heavily on foreign weapon systems. Its Type 72Z tank is no exception. *Key Point*: Iran excels at updating old weapon systems. Although Iran struggles to design and build more modern weapon systems, it excels in upgrading older Soviet and American designs, especially tanks. The Type 72Z is no exception—and has been exported to Iranian allies and client groups in the Middle East and Africa. *Type 72Z* Iran’s defense industry relies heavily on foreign weapon systems, especially for big-ticket items like tanks a... more »

Positive self-talk from the 1600s

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 16 hours ago
Sometimes I think positive self-talk is a fad from the pop psych of the 20th century, but today I read some advice from Saint Jane Frances de Chantel who died in 1641. She founded the Order of the Visitation for women who did not have the stamina for the life of the traditional orders. These women had been rejected for poor health or old age by other orders. I haven't yet looked up her writings, but found this one as "Meditation of the Day," August 12, 2019, Magnificat, vol 21, no. 6. "No matter what happens, be gentle and patient with yourself. Once in a while, if you feel par... more »

*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* The Lexington was the fifth U.S. Navy ship to be named after the opening battle of the American Revolution. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Lexington’s air wing was not its best at the beginning of the World War, including outdated types such as the clumsy F2A Buffalo fighter, nicknamed the “Flying Coffin” by Marine pilots, and the ill-fated three-seat TBD Devastator torpedo bomber, which was easy pickings for fighters and antiaircraft guns alike due to its slow maximum speed (206 miles per hour), poor armor and general ungainliness.

African Americans' Public Celebration of Their Culture

Shannon M. Smith at The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Shannon M. Smith* *Society, * [image: Reuters] Activists are telling a new story of African American history out of the relics of a white supremacist past. From Richmond to New York City to Seattle, anti-racist activists are getting results as Confederate monuments are coming down by the dozens. In Richmond, Virginia, protesters have changed the story of Lee Circle, home to a 130-year-old monument to Confederate General Robert E. Lee.

America's Amphibious Assault Warships Are Far More Than Mere Aircraft Carriers

What is driving this is the rise of juvenile greens as a choice consumer product. It is premium priced and it also lasts a long time in the fridge. It is also expanding into many other plants as well. The big take home is that one person can operate something like this as a full time enterprise and make some sort of a viable living.
