barovsky, The New Dark Age - 16 hours ago
Revered as the Father of Socialism, in popular conception Karl Marx (1818–1883) is the originator of socialist theory, the creator of a plan implemented thereafter by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and other socialist nations. He remains one of the most cited authors of all time, and his writings are endlessly scrutinized and analyzed. Was he standing on the shoulders of giants?
President Trump vs. his enemies

Mostly I ignore ad hominem attacks on me and other conservatives. They are intended to deflect the really destructive forces the Democrats have put in play as they prepare for their own downfall from the extreme leftists in their party. But I do have some questions for them. 1) When has President Trump ever led an enthusiastic crowd of Republicans at a rally or convention in a chant to boo God? Why is "Build that wall," or "lock her up," so much more offensive to you Democrats than rejecting and insulting your own Creator? When has President Trump ever led a blood thirsty segment...

Philosophy has benefitted from the rise of nominalism in the Middle Ages—the nominalist ideas of Roscellinus, Abelard, and Ockham played an important role in pushing philosophy towards scholasticism, ...

Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 18 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* Chambered in .45 ACP, a normally American caliber, the P12 entered service at the turn of the millenium, far after most .45 caliber handguns were phased out of European service. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The more special units get the P12 as it is used primarily as a suppressed handgun, hence the chambering in .45 caliber. As .45 ACP is a subsonic round in most standard loadings, it can be used in the P12 without procuring special ammunition that might decrease the terminal ballistics.

*Tamara Pearson* *Race, Americas* [image: Reuters] Sccessful participation in computer science requires much more than just making computer science classes available. When it comes to the digital divide, often the focus is on how lack of internet service and basic technology will hurt students’ academic performance.
