On asymmetrical warfare
Unknown, Accidental Deliberations - 11 hours ago
In the wake of this week's U.S. elections - featuring a closer-than-expected contest for the presidency, and down-ballot results which look to disappointingly leave substantial power in Republican hands - there's been an outpouring of commentary criticizing the money that was put into campaigns which ultimately lost. If there's a lesson we can draw from a broader set of political results, though, it's about the need for all-of-the-above politics - rather than an assumption that a single form of winning support can be counted on to make up for a lack of others. In the U.S., the di...
Activists Hope The Biden Administration Will Eliminate A Science Requirement For Endangered Species Act Rulings
Hank Campbell, Science 2.0 blogs - 11 hours ago
In its 47 year history, the Endangered Species Act went from an essential law to protect actual endangered species to a hammer with which to pummel companies and landowners. What started with an American bald eagle became holding housing development projects hostage by getting an obscure endangered designation for some creature and then demanding huge settlements and fees to 'protect' it. read more
SCOTUS Goes Full Nanny State
Ron Clutz, Science Matters - 13 hours ago
Seeking some comic relief from the US election fiasco, I turned to Babylon Bee and found this satirical piece skewering leftist fears about the US Supreme Court with ACB confirmed. (Just this week Pelosi declared that ACB is an “illegitimate” justice”.) Give the BB writers credit for flipping leftist control-freak behavior into rulings constraining personal […]

The U.S. is now officially out of the Paris Climate Agreement, and even if Joe Biden is ultimately declared the President, it will be difficult for him to rejoin and get his agenda through a divided Congress.

North Korea: 1,000,000 Man Army, Starving Nation
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *military, Asia* Though North Korea only has a population of twenty-five million, the Korean People’s Army is amongst the largest in the world, counting around a million personnel. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *While the North Korea once nearly conquered the South in just a few weeks, today it’s that its military has no hope of defeating its much wealthier and more populous southern neighbor—let alone do so while fighting off U.S. forces. Instead, Pyongyang has built up its capabilities to make a renewed conflict as unacceptably costly to the citizens of...
Coronavirus, Staffing Nightmares and Fatigue: Why Trump (Likely) Lost
Christian Whiton, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Christian Whiton* *Donald Trump, * Trump’s ultimate legacy is that he taught Republicans how to fight. Despite losing, he was more successful than any Republican since Reagan. The lesson is never to apologize for conservatism and patriotism, and never to be on the defense when you can go on offense. Barring a miraculous turnaround in which he flips Georgia and Pennsylvania back into his column and adds Arizona or Nevada, Donald Trump has lost the presidential election to Joe Biden. Trump can at least console himself that he ran a masterful campaign that, against all odds, came w...
The U.S. Military's Sixth-Generation Stealth Fighter Has Arrived
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC1A446D6B40&share=true] Should we be shocked? Not exactly, if you understand the tech trends. America’s mysterious sixth-generation stealth fighter has taken to the skies, as much as five to ten years before it may have been anticipated. The early conceptual thinking for the Air Force Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, now in development for several years, had been that an actual platform would not likely emerge until 2030. How could this have happened...
Why Did German Defenses Fail on D-Day? Thank Hitler.
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The Nazi dictator was a bad leader -- and also a micromanager. *Here's What You Need to Know*: German defenses were doomed in Normandy by their own shortcomings. *A Convoluted Command Structure* Although he was responsible for the defense of Normandy, Rommel, head of Army Group B, was not the “Supreme Commander” on the German side, as Eisenhower was on the Allied side. Over Rommel was Commander-in-Chief, West (OB West) Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt and, of course, Adolf Hitler. And the German navy, air force, and SS were also beyond...
Ethiopia's Prime Minister Says Airstrikes Have Been Launched Against Targets In The Rebellious Tigray Region

*AFP*: *Abiy defends Ethiopia military operation as alarm grows over conflict * Ethiopia's prime minister sought Friday to defend a military operation in the northern region of Tigray, saying his hand had been "forced", as calls rise for the country to step back from what could devolve into a devastating war.

America's Disastrous Drug War Is Finally Unravelling

Yes, we are now on the down hill path on this issue. Criminalization has been an utter failure. It made a small problem into a global criminal juggernaut that has simply proved unstoppable. I personally am no fan of any drug use whatsoever and only with excellent scientific credentials when they are used. We are starting that process with marijuana finmally. I love the working idea of microdoses. The silent majority have zero desire to get high and it is only alcohol that accelerates your apitite.

Severability in California v. Texas: Significance of What Congress Did in 2017?
Jason Mazzone, Balkinization - 11 hours ago
In her recent interesting post on severability in *California v. Texas*, Professor Gluck writes that "the fact that the 2017 Congress left the rest of the ACA standing gives us the strongest evidence possible that Congress intended the statute to survive" if the insurance mandate (now without a potential tax penalty) were found unconstitutional. The ACA defenders make a similar point in their briefs. It can't be right. We certainly know that in 2017 when Congress eliminated the potential tax penalty it must have wanted to preserve the other provisions of the ACA because that is w...

We all know Joe Biden won the popular vote November 3, 2020, and there are axioms (self-evident truths) we can learn from this. 1. Trump will end up with over 70,000,000 votes. Seventy million. These are American citizens who have been insulted, demeaned, called every name in the book, had their homes vandalized, their careers ruined, losing friends and family, and yet remained loyal and convinced he was the best president in their life times.

Joe Biden loves China: Paris Accords edition
trinko, Conversations about the obvious - 14 hours ago
The Paris Accords are proof positive that there is no environmental catastrophe in the works; that climate change isn't a big deal. All the people, like Joe, who tell us we've got to drastically change our country--by eliminating the oil and gas industries for example-- also support the Paris Accords. But the Paris Accords allow China to drastically increase its CO2 production. Given that China already produces more CO2 each year than the US and the EU combined that means that under the Paris Accords any cuts by the US won't do anything. But Joe doesn't care. Hence either Joe ...

I told my wife earlier this week that, when the votes were all counted, Donald Trump's head would blow up. The votes have not all been counted. But, last night, Trump's head exploded. David Smith writes: The US president on Thursday returned to the White House briefing room, scene of past triumphs such as that time he proposed bleach as a cure for coronavirus and that other time he condemned QAnon with the words “They like me”. Trump offered a downright dangerous and dishonest take on this week’s election that current vote counting trends suggest he will lose. It was possibly an ...
