It's Perfect That Trump Infects His Inner Circle With Deadly Contagion-- But Tragic That He Brought It To Minnesotans
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 6 minutes ago
*Lawless Zone by Nancy Ohanian* *We will not see diseases like the coronavirus come here… Isn’t that refreshing when contrasting it with the awful presidency of President Obama?* -Kayleigh McEnany, not dead yet but the most ignorant and dishonest White House spokesperson in history, February 25, 2020 on Trump TV Minnesota has had a relatively easy pandemic until recently. It's going very badly now, over a thousand new cases a day, along with other states-- like Wisconsin, Indiana and Utah-- that fared relatively well during the first spike.

Why Donald Trump’s Words Work, and What To Do About It
Robert Danisch, The National Interest - 21 minutes ago
*Robert Danisch* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Resistance to Trump requires changes in the way we react to his words. Like a parent who does not react to their children’s tantrums (which are designed to generate attention), we must react with neutrality and objectivity, not more insults or hyperbole. As America chaotically careens toward election day with President Donald Trump fighting a COVID-19 infection, we should stop and ask: Just why and how do Trump’s words work? And how does the recent confusion sown by his doctors at Walter Reed Medical Center amplify that work?...

Melanie Green, The National Interest - 21 minutes ago
*Melanie Green* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] When one person believes the policies and politicians supported by another person are inherently evil or immoral, it’s difficult to maintain a friendship. Melanie Green, *University at Buffalo, The State University of New York* Former Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia were on opposite sides of the political spectrum. Yet despite their obvious legal disagreements, the liberal Ginsburg once described herself and the conservative Scalia as “best buddies.” This connection across ideological lines may s...
The U.S. Navy’s "Seabees" Bulldozed a Road To Victory in World War II
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 21 minutes ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* The Allied victory during World War II would not have been possible without the hard work and ingenuity of the Seabees, the U.S. Navy’s Construction Battalions. *Key Point*: The Seabees’ record is truly remarkable. As war clouds gathered over the vast Pacific Ocean in the late 1930s, the United States belatedly began to think of protecting the nation’s possessions of far-flung islands and atolls. Civilian contractors were hired to build runways, port facilities, barracks, fuel dumps, water towers, and fortifications in the Philippine...
Could India's T-72 and T-90 Tanks Beat China in a War?

*Peter Suciu* *Security, Asia* New Delhi thinks so. But is that really accurate? Despite the high altitudes and extreme temperatures, the Depsang plains are flat and quite suitable for tanks. It is the critical point where Indian tanks could threaten Aksai Chain at the eastern portion of the larger Kashmir region. It has also been the subject of the dispute between India and China since the 1962 border war was fought between the two nuclear powers.

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Allied airmen braved horrific German flak over the Polish capital in an effort to drop supplies to resistance fighters during the Warsaw Uprising. Warsaw was burning. Captain Jack Van Eyssen first saw it as a dull glow on the night horizon, 35 miles distant.

The Center for American Progress (CAP) is nominally a left-tilted thinky tank, but they have always been solidly on the side of reeformsterism, backing charter schools and relentlessly stumping for the Common Core.
