Trump And The Military-- A Very Bad Match
Mark Hertling is a retired Lt. General, who wrote, yesterday at CNN.com, that "If you ask people who *haven't* served in uniform what it takes to be a great military leader, many would say "strength," "toughness" or "courage." People who *have* served-- and particularly those who have had the honor of commanding-- will tell you there's a lot more to it. Leaders-- military or otherwise-- need character, intellect, vision, humility and will. Leaders also need empathy. In fact, this particular trait is discussed in detail in the publication *Army Leadership*... The doctrinal defini... more »

In 1935, the United States Military Bombed a Volcano
*Michael Peck* *History, Americas* [image: Reuters] Why? *Here's What You Need To Remember: *This would not the be last time that Mauna Loa would feel the wrath of American airpower. The U.S. Air Force returned to bomb Mauna Loa in 1975 and 1976, in an experiment using 2,000-pound bombs to divert lava flows. On December 27, 1935, the U.S. Air Force attacked a most fiery enemy ever: a Hawaiian volcano. Technically, it wasn't the air force in 1935, but the U.S. Army Air Corps. Nor had Congress declared war on the volcano, or passed an Authorization of Military Force Against Volca... more »
Could Hitler Have Won World War II If He Never Fought Soviet Russia?

The Fate of a Closed Philosophy
A closed system of philosophy does not change willingly, and if it’s ruled by a confederacy of dunces (unwise and bureaucratic people), then it becomes all the more incapable of noticing its errors, examining new knowledge, reacting to new philosophical developments, and answering the questions posed by their detractors. Thus they become destined to fester within the walls of their closed fortress—they decline in isolation until all trace of them is extinguished.

Forget Russia and China, The Biggest Threat To U.S. Elections Comes From Within America
*Richard Hanania* *Security, Americas* If American leaders were really interested in protecting our democracy, they would forgo regime change overseas and remove incentives for election interference at home. This month, U.S. intelligence reported that Russia wants Donald Trump to win reelection, while China and Iran seek to help Joe Biden. Both sides of the political aisle have cited the report, claiming that one adversary or another would be happy if the other party takes power in January.

Let's start with a change of pace. We humans are murderous bastards. We have have been from the start. Yes, other animals kill each other - usually to eat. We kill on a far greater scale - not just for food but for theft, for power, for control. Animals, for the most part kill just to eat.We kill for the sense of power and wealth. And for that purpose we enslave and/or propagandize our own kind. There's a pattern here. Let's get real. We don't usually kill for defence. We kill for power and for wealth.

Tennessee Woman Who Was Never Tested and Died Sixth Months Ago Gets Letter Informing Her That She is COVID-19 Positive
The coronavirus situation has prompted wholesale societal changes at every level, leading many to proclaim that wearing masks, social distancing and avoiding face-to-face human contact should be the “new normal.” But recently, stats directly from the CDC’s own website have contradicted the prevailing media-given numbers that make it seem as if all coronavirus-related deaths are caused directly by the virus, placing the number of deaths attributed only to the virus at a paltry 6%. The other 94% had at least one, or multiple co-morbidities, casting doubt on whether COVID-19 shou... more »

In The Worst Of Times, The Billionaire Elite Plunder The Working Class

The CDC Expands its Overreach and is Now America’s New Landlord Threatening Rental Markets

It is unclear, to put it mildly, exactly how this jurisdiction over private contracts and state/local courts flows even to Congress, much less an administrative agency acting on its own.
