Paying the college loans for those who signed for them
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 12 hours ago
I worked at the local public library and the drug store when I was in high school. In summers and during the school year in college I worked various part time jobs--usually the college library. My parents provided most of the cost going without since 3 of us were in college at the same time. Dad would have considered it an embarrassment to take money from the government. Then when I got married during my senior year, my parents provided me with a loan which we paid back in a year or two. College education costs became a huge bubble since those days (1960s), worse than the real es...

As per usual, news on Haiti in the United States remains limited, except for during periods of “crisis.” As if on cue, U.S. media began reporting on Haiti’s “constitutional crisis” this week. Sunday, February 7 is the end of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse’s term, according to the constitution. He refuses to step down. This week, the opposition called for a two-day general strike, uniting around a transition with the head of Haiti’s Supreme Court stepping in.

Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 11 hours ago
Aesop describes how he dealt with an illicit marijuana outlet that established itself in his neighborhood, causing him and his neighbors no little inconvenience.

Even after they'd gone, his revenge wasn't over, as you'll see. Click over there and read it for yourself. It's a masterpiece of thinking outside the box. Peter

Anti-Trump Conservatives: Form a Faction, not a Third Party

Several news organizations have reported that officials of former Republican Administrations opposed to Donald Trump's continuing influence in the Republican Party are considering forming a breakaway third party.

Generally speaking, third parties tend not to win many elections in the United States because of our first-past-the-post electoral system.

From the nation’s earliest days, unruly pardon has been harnessed to the rule-of-law virtues of the justice system, secured since the 19th century by its relationship to the Justice Department and by presidents respecting t...

Section Three Applies to Former Officials

A leading argument by Republican Senators is that they cannot convict the ex-President because he is an ex-President.

Section Three was widely applied to former federal officials. Any federal official who joined the Confederacy was rendered ineligible to serve again (without relief from Congress) under Section Three.

War News Updates Editor, War News Updates - 14 hours ago
*BBC:* *Coronavirus vaccines: How’s my country and the rest of the world doing?* When it comes to the coronavirus vaccine there is one question most people are asking - when will I get it? A handful of countries have set very specific vaccination targets, but for the rest of the world the picture is less clear. Getting the world vaccinated against Covid-19 is a matter of life and death, involving complicated scientific processes, multinational corporations, government promises and backroom deals. So figuring out when and how everyone in the world will get the vaccine is not eas...

Could War With China Destroy the U.S.-Japan Alliance?
James Holmes, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* Military triumphs often underperform their political goals. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Sino-Japanese war could break out over matters Westerners deem inconsequential. It would be a coalition war, and it could be big, bad, and long. The US-Japan alliance might appear solid in the early going, obscuring subterranean fractures within the alliance.

Putting their money where their mouth is - ammo version
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 14 hours ago
I can only approve of the honest, forthright approach shown by Fenix Ammunition of Michigan. At a time when many companies and conglomerates are trying to be as "woke" as possible, appealing to liberal buyers, Fenix is unashamedly catering to the opposite side of the political spectrum. In a series of tweets yesterday, the company made its position clear. Clearly, its attitude isn't hurting its sales.

However, just how capable is it? It would seem unlikely if not impossible to posit that China’s upgraded Z-20, in...
Consumption Presumption: Are Human Beings Destroying the World?
Rainer Zitelmann, The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Rainer Zitelmann* *Global Governance, Americas* On the surface, the argument put forward by anticapitalist, antigrowth critics sounds plausible: The planet has limited resources, so the human population cannot keep growing. Some people claim that we need to cut our consumption or there will be no hope for the planet. Such claims are based on the thesis that continued growth increases the rate at which the earth’s finite resources are consumed and, moreover, leads to irreversible climate change. And such warnings are by no means new. In 1970, for instance, the Club of Rome attra...

The Mechanics Behind The Egyptian Revolution

The Egyptian revolution, which flared from early 2011 to mid-2013, is usually presented in the media (and some academic circles) as a “Facebook Revolution” or at least as one gigantic event that was ignited and organized online. The truth is slightly different. The 2011 uprising was the product of a decade-long complicated political process, in which dissent was accumulating, organizing skills were honed, small victories were achieved and fear of the regime’s repressive apparatus was gradually eroding. One central element in this process that would in 2011 culminate in a full-blo...

Why Russia's Su-47 Fighter Never Took To the Skies
