IF YOU'RE GONNA LIE, LIE WITH GUSTO, I GUESS
After all these years of lying, Donald Trump has it down to a conditioned reflex: Whenever he's caught having to respond to an embarrassing news story, he not only insists that the opposite of the truth is the truth, he frames his version of reality as a precedent-shattering superlative: The Atlantic specifically reported that Trump didn't want to attend a ceremony at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France in 2018 because he was concerned that the rain would dishevel his hair....

Blue America Endorses Atlanta "Good Trouble" Activist Nikema Williams
Georgia's 5th congressional district-- most of Atlanta from the airport to Buckhead as well as Decatur plus Forest Park, Lake City and Morrow in Clayton County-- hasn't been in play since 1986, the legendary John Lewis' first term. In fact, Republicans have never run a serious campaign in the D+34 district and Lewis usually ran unopposed. This cycle, Trump pardoned a crackpot right-wing sociopath and felon, Angela Stanton-King, who had served almost 3 years of her prison sentence for running a car theft ring, a kind of female, later-day Darrell Issa.

"Truth Is Always Stranger..."
"Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth* is,* and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees, reminding us that the universe does not exist to fulfill our expectations. Because we are imperfect beings who are self-blinded to the truth of the world's stunning complexity, we shave reality to paper thin theories and ideologies that we can easily grasp – and we call them truths. But the truth of a sea in all its immensity cannot be embodied in one tidewashed pebble." - Dean Koontz

What Happens When You Merge a Battleship and an Aircraft Carrier?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * In the early 1980s, the Reagan Administration considered adding flight decks to U.S. Navy battleships. *Key Point*: The naval gunfire argument rages on to this day. In the early 1980s, four Iowa-class fast battleships originally built during World War II—Iowa, Missouri, New Jersey and Wisconsin—were taken out of mothballs and returned to active duty.

What Does "Socialism" Actually Mean? Think "Control"
*James Pethokoukis* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] As Wells once wrote: “Socialism for me is a common step we are all taking in the great synthesis of human purpose.” And the execution of that collectivist “synthesis of human purpose” would be performed by the technocratic planners of that global government. When someone calls themself a “socialist” or says they think “socialism” has a lot of good ideas, what do they mean? After all, most of us are not political scientists or philosophers.

World War II: Why Japan's Biggest Battleship Committed Epic Suicide
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The story of the Yamato is a warning to all armed forces that the march of war technology is merciless and unsentimental. *Key Point*: The insistence of battleship-minded officers to cling to obsolete military technology undermined Japan’s war effort and sent thousands of Japanese sailors needlessly to their deaths. In early 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy made a difficult decision: it would sacrifice the largest, most powerful battleships ever built to protect Okinawa, the gateway to Japan’s Home Islands. The decision sealed the fate of the battles... more »

Power and Protection
Power and protection are the two powerful desires that people have. The two desires cannot be entirely separated even in an individual, but by and large the people who covet power and those who covet protection exist in different groups in a society. The desire for power is generally found in the people who are confident, intelligent, and strong, while the desire for protection is found in those who are demoralized, ignorant, and weak.
