Why Impeachment Means Trump Cannot Resurrect Himself
Jacob Heilbrunn, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Jacob Heilbrunn* *Donald Trump, Americas* The Trump presidency opened with a vow to end American carnage. Now Trump himself is being engulfed by it. To be impeached once, to paraphrase Oscar Wilde, can be regarded as a misfortune. To be impeached twice looks like carelessness. Now that the House has voted to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time, his future has never appeared more precarious. Trump has assembled no legal team to defend himself and it not clear that he even could. The White House has become an empty house. At least ten House Republicans voted to impea...

*Peter Suciu* *Security, Europe* The Su-30 crashed in a forest area, and a commission from the Western Military District had been deployed to the crash site and will make their findings known at a later date. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Other nations including Algeria, Belarus, Indonesia, Malaysia, Uganda, Venezuela and Vietnam operate the Su-30. However, not all of the customers have been happy either—and some critics in Belarus have suggested that the nation would have been better off buying U.S. F-16s instead of the Russian-made aircraft to replace its aging MiG-29 fi...

Elusive Wolverine Makes Rare Appearance On A Remote Trail Camera
White Wolf, White Wolf - 9 hours ago
A rare sight of a wolverine has been captured on the west slope of the Tetons by BrushBuck guides Daniel Bradford, Clint Parkhill, and Adam Lackner. Although some relate wolverines to dogs or small bears, they are the largest, most vicious, members of the weasel family. Less than 300 are said to exist in the United States; mainly in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. The dwindling wolverine population is said to be attributed to large numbers hunted from fur trappers in the early 20th century, and more recently, less snowpack caused by climate change.

These Are The 10 House Republicans Who Voted To Impeach President Trump
War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 4 hours ago
*WNU Editor*: Rep. Adam Kinzinger admits that this vote is going to cost him politically. He does have a point. Most of these GOP lawmakers are from safe Republican districts, and I am willing to bet that they are going to be facing some tough primary challenges before 2022. And it gets worse. Even if they are not defeated in a the next round of primaries, they will be shun by their fellow lawmakers. But that is the least of their worries. Voters in their districts voted overwhelmingly for President Trump. And now these lawmakers must face these voters to explain their vote. ...

Impeaching Donald Trump: Pointless Revenge?
Michael Blake, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Michael Blake* *Politics, The Americas* Impeachment isn't a criminal procedure, but it could send a powerful signal. House Democrats have introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump, charging him with “incitement of insurrection” for the siege at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. One immediate difficulty facing those seeking to impeach the president is that impeachment is a lengthy process. Trump has only a few days left in office before his term ends on Jan. 20. While the article of impeachment might be quickly approved by the House, in a vote scheduled for Jan. 13, ...

AZ: Teachers Slapped Yet Again

Arizona is one of a handful of states that owe a debt to Florida; were it not for the Sunshine State, Arizona would be a strong contender for State Most Hostile To Public Education. And now their governor is sticking it to teachers yet again. Arizona has a long-standing problem with convincing teachers to work there; they are one of the states that was recruiting folks from the Philipines to fill teacher positions. Their teacher pay stinks, and their actual money spent on students stinks as well (in 2015, per pupil spending was at $3400). Governor Ducey turned to public education ...

If you watch a lot of network TV or cable news shows, chances are you’ve also seen an awful lot of drug commercials.

Believe it or not there are only two major countries that allow direct-to-consumer advertisements for prescription drugs — America and New Zealand. It’s been estimated that drug companies spent a whopping $4.5 billion on such ads in the last two years, at an increase of 30 percent. It’s gotten so ...

Government Spending in the UK Helps Certain Voters More Than Others
Jeevun Sandher, The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*Jeevun Sandher* *Government, Europe* As a result of spending decisions based on voter demographics, child poverty has risen over the past decade while pensioner poverty remained stable. Governments face pressure in the years ahead to ramp up social security payments to help people affected by the coronavirus pandemic. However, in the UK, it has historically been voters who support the parties of government who get the money. My research, outlined in a paper awaiting full review, shows how this redistribution has contributed to inequality and poverty over the years. Images post...
