What Donald Trump's Tax Returns Tell Us About the IRS

Hayes Holderness, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago

*Hayes Holderness* *Politics, The Americas* One possible reason Trump’s audit is taking so long is related to the IRS’s practice of targeting the working poor at rates comparable to the wealthy. It’s hard to reel in the rich and often easier to focus on the poor. The New York Times’ exclusive on President Donald Trump’s taxes contains a lot of startling new findings. A few noteworthy examples: He paid only US$750 in federal income tax in 2016 and 2017 – and nothing at all in 10 of the previous 15 years; he took massive income tax deductions for property tax payments on a New York...

How the Soviet Red Army Crushed Hitler's Forces at Vienna

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* In spite of a tenacious defense, the Soviet Red Army overwhelmed the Germans in the Austrian capital of Vienna. *Key Point*: The might of the Red Army prevailed in the battle for Vienna in the spring of 1945. In mid-March 1945, the Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Red Army launched a major offensive with the aim of clearing Axis forces out of Hungary and forcing them back to the very borders of Hitler’s Greater German Reich. It was successful, and at 1925 hours on the 29th a “Führer Decision” finally arrived at the headquarters of Army Group Sou...

Pork Chop Hill: How U.S. and U.N. Forces Halted Communist Aggression in Korea

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* During the Korean War the climactic struggle for control of Hill 255 in July 1953 pitted hordes of determined Chinese against gritty U.S. soldiers. *Key Point*: The U.S. and U.N. troops had thwarted the naked thrust of communist aggression in Korea; in the end, South Korea remained free. The tennis-shoed soldiers emerged from the darkness on July 6, 1953, like a “moving carpet of yelling, howling men [with] whistles and bugles blowing, their officers screaming, driving their men” against the Americans as they swept up Hill 255, recalled P...

How the U.S. Military First Adopted the Helicopter

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago

*Warfare History Network* *History, * Igor Sikorsky demonstrated the practicality of the helicopter to the U.S. Army in 1940. *Key Point*: The first rotary wing combat rescue in history took place in 1944. On September 14, 1939, Igor Sikorsky attained stability and control with the initial flight of an open cockpit test bed known as the VS-300. Thus, Sikorsky introduced to the world the first working single rotor helicopter and fostered the basic design for rotary wing aircraft that has endured to the present day. On May 26, 1940, Sikorsky arrived at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohi...

World War II: The Soviet Union's Anti-Tank Rifles Weren't Exactly Tank Killers

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 minutes ago

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The Soviet Union’s two primary antitank rifles saw wide use in World War II despite the limitations of their small calibers. *Key Point*: The antitank rifle led a relatively short life in combat because it just was not powerful enough to keep up with the rapidly advancing size of the tank itself. The German panzers approached the Russian artillery column as it moved to a new position. As the troops trudged toward their new firing point, six panzers appeared, rampaging into the Russian rear area, no doubt searching for vulnerable targe...

The Fundamentals of Sanatana Dharma

Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 58 minutes ago

Classical Hinduism is known as Sanatana Dharma which means Eternal and Ancient Law, or the Law that was given to mankind by the devas (the incarnated gods) in the primordial times. The foundation of Sanatana Dharma is forged from *Śruti *(that which is heard), and its structure is forged from *Smṛti *(that which is remembered). The *Śruti *consists of the four *Vedas *(the *Rigveda*, the *Yajurveda*, the *Samaveda* and the *Atharvaveda*) which the ancient sages received directly from the devas. The Vedic teachings were not written down for several millennia and were preserved thro...

The 'Pathological' Behavior of US Pension Funds?

Leo Kolivakis, Pension Pulse - 1 hour ago

Brett Arendt of MarketWatch reports that 'pathological’ behavior by pension fund trustees leads to billions blown on real estate: Ouch. Finance professor Timothy Riddiough says some of the people running America’s 6,000 state and local public pension plans are exhibiting “pathological investment behaviors.” No, really. *Pathological*.

Instead of Defunding the Police, Stop Regulating the Public

Jane Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 2 hours ago

* On September 23, we learned that a grand jury had declined to indict the officers involved in the Breonna Taylor case for causing her death. * Further protests erupted that denounced the result as thwarted justice. Most of the anger has been directed at the police, but that fixation overlooks the larger problem. * There are far too many encounters between civilians and the police that have the potential to turn violent. Punishing the officers will not limit the number of encounters between police and civilians that have that potential. * The only way to do that would be to roll ba...

Basic Statistics Expose Lies Targeting Thailand's National Budget

*October 8, 2020 *(Tony Cartalucci - ATN) - Almost anything can be made to look bad if dishonest people throw numbers around with no context. This is precisely what corrupt billionaire Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit did when complaining about Thailand's national budget for 2021 - decrying an "increase" in spending for the Royal Office and the Thai military. However, a quick look at just how much is being spent on either versus the overall national budget shows just how small of a percentage is being spent on either and how - particularly for military spending - Thailand's budget ...
