Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* All week long, I've been wondering what to do with all of the memes that depict this week's 2020 Cavalcade Of Republican Goonery. I mean, there's so much, where do I start? So I've decided that the best thing to do is just present a selection of the week's better Republican Con-Vention memes as a kind of rap-up, more or less let the pictures do the talking. and leave it at that. Besides, a week of prime time exposure to the Republican Party's selection of "best people" and "very fine people" has left me almost speechless like many of you. First I'll start with the First... more »

Chapter 3: Profiles In Judo - Invoking The Greatest Generation, Jonas Salk, Adam Smith, MLK, Lincoln… and AOC.
Here's another chapter of my book, in which I which futilely offered 100+ original or plausible *tactics* that might have helped win this phase of Civil War. (Last time we had Chapter 2: "Underlying beliefs that most of us share" - And why that may help... even during a 'civil war.') Now we'll get more confrontational, eviscerating "MAGA" with pure historical and present day facts. Naturally, I could add a lot more ammo to these paragraphs, like in the section answering charges of "socialism!" But I am starting to get the hint. None of our Union generals is at all interested in ... more »

*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] China’s navy and indeed its whole enormous maritime trade is vulnerable to mine warfare. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *It needs to be stated one more time that the U.S. Navy’s recent record in coping with the mine warfare challenge is not particularly encouraging.

Donald Trump's Payroll-Tax Deferral Plan Has Flopped
*Alan D. Viard* *economy, * [image: Reuters] “Every employer I’ve talked to has said we are not going to do this. It is not good for administrative complexity, and worse, it’s an employee relations disaster.” In a recent blog post, I predicted that many businesses will decline to participate in the payroll tax deferral that President Trump announced on August 8. In the short time since that announcement, numerous business organizations have confirmed their wariness about participation.

Can Lasers And Long-Range Missiles Be Stopped? These Pentagon Countermeasures Could Work
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Asia* The JSTARS planes were highly effective at reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering in areas such as Afghanistan, where the U.S. operates in what’s called “uncontested airspace.” It's unclear whether that would work against more capable enemies. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *This means countermeasures, electronic warfare (EW), interceptor missiles and straight forward offensive attacks upon enemy weapons systems once discovered, may be employed.

The Age Of Trump: Lawlessness And Disorder
*American Fascism's Betsy Ross* Has there ever been a president less about either law or order than Trump? I though Nixon was so bad that I went to live overseas for nearly 7 years after he won the first time. And on Nixon's worst day, he was never as bad as Trump on his best day... not that I recall any Trump best days. You? Ben Mathis-Lilley, writing for *Slate* yesterday, probably doesn't. He noted just before Trump went on that "One major theme of the Republican National Convention has been 'rioting' and alleged lawlessness in 'Democrat-run' cities across the Untied States.

Kant’s View of Reason and Morality
Immanuel Kant is the founder of the modern conception of reason and morality. He can be seen as the supreme representative of the Enlightenment since he believed that through the use of reason, and reform of the political and cultural institutions, a society can be perfected, and he sympathized with the French Revolution. He believed, as did most Enlightenment thinkers, that the French Revolution would lead to the rise of a liberal, peaceful, and just society not just in France but across Europe. He preached that universal moral principles, which do not depend on the social order,... more »
