Boris’ speech promising 40GW of offshore wind power by 2030 has predictably been widely misreported in the media.

Vik Amar on Congress's role in electoral college reform

I have been enjoying the Balkinization symposium on the books by Alexander Keyssar and Jesse Wegman on electoral college reform. I have one small comment in response to Professor Rakove's very interesting essay on the need for constitutional amendment. Readers might be interested to know that my colleague Vik Amar published an essay back in 2011 in the *Georgetown Law Journal* on the powers of Congress to remedy problems with the design or operation of the National Popular Vote Compact Plan and to put in place federal mechanisms to identify and tally popular sentiment within each ...
Why World War II Veterans Loved the P-38

*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2007%3Anewsml_GM1DVNTQHIAA&share=true] It was one heck of an aircraft. *Key point: *The P-38 was a great plane to fly and it could do many kinds of missions. Here is how one veteran did his bit by flying the vaunted aircraft. Jim Kunkle lived his dream. “Every boy in the late 1930s wanted to be a P-38 Lightning pilot,” says Kunkle. The sleek, silvery image of Lockheed’s twin-engine, twin-boom fighter grabbed the hearts of a generation of prewar youngsters, few as ear...
U.S. Air Force to Use Virtual Reality to Simulate F-22, F-35 and F-15 Training

The President tamps down fear
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 11 hours ago
Joel Ross of Citadel Realty Advisors opines on 10/8: "Trump did a good thing for everyone by getting sick. He showed the virus is not a death penalty, and now there are drugs to deal with it if caught early. The reality, despite the press pushing FEAR, is that most people do NOT get sick at all, or not very sick, and if you do get it, the chance of dying is 1% or less, and if you are healthy, it is tiny so long as it is caught very early. That is not much different than with most illness. If you act early, there is often a protocol to cure, or at least mitigate it. The media, of c...
Evangelicals increasingly follow the mainline churches and the world
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 11 hours ago
“The irony of the reshaping of the spiritual landscape in America is that it represents a post-Christian reformation driven by people seeking to retain a Christian identity,” noted Dr. George Barna, Director of Research at the Cultural Research Center. “Unfortunately, the theology of this reformation is being driven by American culture rather than biblical truth." Among those associated with evangelical churches.: --44% claim the Bible is ambiguous in its teaching about abortion --34% argue that abortion is morally acceptable if it spares the mother from financial or emotional dis...

Michigan Whitmer Kidnap ‘Plot’ Smells Like FBI Entrapment

[image: These are 10 of the 13 people who were charged after the FBI uncovered a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. (WDIV)] The post 9/11 history of FBI anti-terrorism arrests against Muslims they deemed radical in this country often stunk to high heaven of entrapment. As accurately described by CAIR, the Counsel on American Islamic Relations, "In the trial of the Newburgh Four, a group of Muslim men were lured by an informant bearing expensive gifts into plotting to blow up synagogues in the Bronx, NY and shoot down a military jet. One of the defendants, Laguerre Payen,...

One Step Closer to Despotism—Why Declassification Must Happen Now

Writing at American Greatness, Lee Smith, who is extremely close to House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, lays out what must happen now to neutralize a significant chunk of the coup against the President if the Barr/Durham investigation produces nothing ahead of Nov. 3rd.

The Second Act Will Be Worse Than the First: Lockdowns Are Not the Answer
William L. Anderson, null - 11 hours ago
[image: undefined] In the first presidential “debate” (I use that word creatively), Joe Biden hinted that he would order a national lockdown in order to “defeat” the covid-19 virus, and there certainly seems to be a consensus in the media and among political elites that if there is another “outbreak” of covid, then the “shelter in place” order will be the law of the land. Many businesses certainly are making plans for such an order, this time not wanting to be caught unprepared as they were last March: Grocery stores and food companies are preparing for a possible surge in sales a...
Two Types of Terror in Michigan

[image: undefined] #StopTrumpsTerror is one of the hottest trending topics on Twitter, with more than 90,000 tweets. Yesterday, the FBI announced the arrest of six people yesterday in a plot (perhaps government-hatched) to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and put her on trial for treason for destroying the state’s economy with the lockdowns she imposed. Seven other individuals were arrested and charged with violating Michigan’s anti-terrorism law. Trump had no connection to the plot, and at least one of the alleged plotters denounced Trump as a “tyrant” and “the enemy.” Bu...
Could the 2020 Election Be Decided in Congress?
Donald Brand, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Donald Brand* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] The Electoral College must cast its ballots on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December – this year, Dec. 14. If disputed state vote totals are not resolved by six days prior to that date, Congress can step in, under the 1887 Electoral Account Act. This could have happened in 2000, and it is an imaginable outcome in 2020. If the the 2020 U.S. presidential election is contested, both campaigns are preparing to take the matter to court. But the Founding Fathers meant for Congress to be the backup plan if the Electo...
Is Joe Biden’s Polling Lead Full Of Hot Air?
Karlyn Bowman, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Karlyn Bowman* *Politics, Americas* The simple answer is that we don’t know. This week, we’ve seen a handful of new polls on the presidential contest. Zogby gave Biden a two-point lead, and Investor’s Business Daily put him ahead by three. The NBC News/*Wall Street Journal* poll has Biden up by 14 points, and the CNN/SSRS poll has it at +16 for Biden. The *Economist*/YouGov poll has Biden up by eight. Who is right? The simple answer is that we don’t know. Let’s look at some of the factors that might produce these different results. President Trump announced that he has tested p...

Review: ARAK-21 XRS Complete Rifle.
Richard Douglas, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Richard Douglas* *Technology, * The idea of the ARAK-21 XRS sounds gimmicky. Combining two very different gun design philosophies into a single system seems like a surefire way of making a bad gun. Nevertheless, the result is impressive. The AR-15 and the AK-47 are the two most iconic rifles of the last fifty years. Both represent two systems of thought with gun design philosophy. The ARAK-21 XRS seeks to combine the benefits of both weapon systems into one gun. The original ARAK was an upper receiver, bolt system, and barrel that allowed a shooter to fire the AK-47’s iconic 7.6...
A Trump Reelection Would Mean America First on Trade Is Here to Stay
Christian Whiton, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Christian Whiton* *Politics, * [image: Reuters] It may well turn out that Trump will be on hand to continue a trade-reform process that looks chaotic on the surface, but which amounts to significant, measured evolution in practice. A conventional analysis of the U.S. presidential race would predict challenger Joe Biden will defeat incumbent Donald Trump. Most polls have Joe Biden far ahead, and a much-cited recent survey showed him fourteen points ahead of Trump. However, the same poll in 2016 showed Hillary Clinton with the same lead. Furthermore, Trump is once again connec...

The Los Angeles police department (LAPD) gave 63% of its citations for “loitering while standing” to Black residents in recent years, despite African Americans making up just 7% of the city’s population, a new analysis of public records has revealed.

When Confronted By Hungry Bellies, Us Imperialists Reach For Their Guns
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
In 1965, Ghana’s Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah published a bold book, Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism. In this book, Nkrumah documented in great detail the way in which European and North American multinational firms – in close collaboration with their governments – continued to smother the aspirations of the new nations of Africa. As an example, Nkrumah took up his own country, Ghana, which had been known by the colonial name ‘the Gold Coast’ until 1957. One of the old colonial companies, Ashanti Goldfields (a British company) continued to make fabulous profits from...
The MEC Saga Shows That Canada Needs More Co-operation
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 13 hours ago
The campaign to “Save MEC” — Mountain Equipment Co-op — has rallied more than 140,000 Canadians together to save a business that is being sold to an American private equity firm. But this grassroots and groundswell campaign wasn’t about saving a retailer; it was about saving a co-op. In fighting for a member-owned, democratic business, the campaign tapped into a passion in Canadians for co-operation. That passion, which drove thousands of people to engage on social media, sign petitions, demand support from banks and donate more than $100,000 to a legal fund to challenge the sale ...
For Democrats Catholic is the new Black
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 13 hours ago
From their founding by a racist slave owner till the 1970s Democrat politicians viciously attacked Blacks. Today Democrat politicians only attack "uppity" Blacks who don't follow the Democrat party line. Thats different though since Blacks who don't do what White Democrats tell them to do aren't really Black according to Joe Biden. But even as they've toned down their attacks on Blacks, while continuing racist policies like ignoring the thousands of Blacks shot each year in Democrat run cities, they've upped their anti-Catholic rhetoric. When Amy Coney Barrett was up for a job on...

Democrats blame Trump for actions of man who says Trump is a tyrant

One of the more recent Democrat lies is that the people who were planning on kidnapping and putting on trial would be dictator Gretchen Witmer whose tyrannical edicts have been found to be unlawful by the Michigan Supreme Court were egged on by Trump's rhetoric. The only problem is the group's ring leader is on video condemning Trump as a tyrant. Of course what's really odd, if we assume that the #FakeNewsMedia and Democrat politicians are ever honest, is that they were clear that Democrats calling Republicans Nazi's, racists, and bigots had no influence on that guy who almost murd...

The Only Way the U.S. Navy Can Get to 500 'Ships'
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * Washington will have to go unmanned. The U.S. Navy’s Battle Force 2045 plan calls for a 500-ship fleet, and this ambitious expansion is meant to out-match fast-growing rival forces—notably those from China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy, which recently earned the distinction of being the largest naval force in the world. The U.S. Navy has already begun to ramp up efforts to introduce and deploy large numbers of interwoven, armed surface drones. This could boost the global maritime unmanned vehicle market. “The U.S. government is hoping that implementi...

How to Reform the Supreme Court
JB, Balkinization - 13 hours ago
Yesterday I was on Ben Wittes' and Kate Klonick's show, *In Lieu of Fun*, to discuss my proposal for reforming the Supreme Court. Despite the title of this episode, I am actually opposed to Court packing. Instead, I am in favor of a different system for regularizing Supreme Court appointments. Read the blog post for details! As I explain during the show, my proposal creates the practical equivalent of 18 year term limits. But it can be done through ordinary statute, it maintains life tenure, and it is fully constitutional, building, as it does, on two early precedents of the Supre...

The other day I wrote a piece criticising Guardian columnist George Monbiot for his failure to speak out loudly in support of Julian Assange during last month’s hearings in which the United States has been seeking to extradite the Wikileaks founder so that he can be locked away for the rest of his life on bogus “espionage charges”.

It still didn’t specify that his immediate household is two people, not 10. Perhaps he's getting bad advice: So who is giving him advice?

Weak: Why Did Imperial Japan's Nakajima Ki-43 Fighter Fair So Poorly?

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: By Unknown author - http://www.ijaafphotos.com/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=6730851] The plane looked impressive, but it had too many flaws. *Key point:* The Ki-43 scared many Allied pilots. However, it eventually became outclassed and suffered from low armor around its vulnerable oxygen tanks. At the start of World War II, Japanese airpower ruled the skies over China and the Pacific. Japan’s modern, highly maneuverable fighters, flown by well-trained and combat-tested pilots, outperformed anyt...

Philosophy is Subjective
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 15 hours ago
To strive for a philosophical position that is wholly objective is futile—philosophical positions are not meant to transcend the sphere of philosophy in which imagination and rationalization (the subjective elements) play a far more critical role than observation and experimentation (the objective elements). All great works of philosophy are founded on the subjective thinking of the philosophers whose subjectivity is fuelled by their objective experiences of the world.
