Climate Change Alarmism and the Politicization of Science are Corrupting our Government and Threatens our Democratic Constitutional Republic
“In January Mr. Whitehouse filed an amicus with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals supporting plaintiffs who want climate-change lawsuits filed by California localities to be heard in state (not federal) court. Mr. Whitehouse did not disclose that he has received donations from two parties in the litigation. The Senator’s office did not respond to … Continue reading "Climate Change Alarmism and the Politicization of Science are Corrupting our Government and Threatens our Democratic Constitutional Republic"

Sunday morning music
This past week, I was doing some research for a forthcoming book. I was intrigued to come across a reference to the fabled Irish highwayman Willy Brennan, about whom the famous ballad "Brennan on the Moor" was written. The origins of the song are disputed: versions exist from the early to mid 1800's stemming from Ireland, Britain, Canada and the USA. To set the scene, here's a recording from the 1960's featuring The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem. If you find the Irish accents a bit impenetrable, the lyrics are here. Like many highwaymen and other "popular" criminals, fo... more »

*Warfare History Network* *Security, * This is why. In 1917, when America entered the First World War, the United States Army tasked Brigadier General John T.

Sunday Sermonette
I approach today with sadness. Another empty chair at the table as a friend passed. The strange thing was that I passed the police officer, stopped, investigating his death, and I didn't know that it was him. Jack was doing a good deed by shoveling snow at a church on Thursday for another person's funeral on Friday when he had a fatal heart attack. I drove over Saturday, finished the job for him and spread salt. The (other) funeral had been delayed. There are not that many people who live up in the high country on Arizona's Mogollon Rim. Maybe fifty total. Now 49. He is survived by... more »

*Task and Purpose* *Security, * History you need to know.

With one cockpit devoted to radar and the other to flying, the F-82 Twin Mustang — nicknamed “double trouble” — was born.

*A Bold New Idea to Boost Wages* The challenges are well known: Working Americans are struggling to keep up with the increasing cost of living. Unemployment is low, but wages of most Americans have remained flat. More than three-quarters of Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck. Most can’t afford a $500 emergency.

Brexit: ODS, most Czechs oppose EU's efforts to humiliate U.K.
I want to say something about the Czech attitudes to Brexit. Well, for Czech political junkies, Brexit is quite a topic for discussions – for many reasons. First, Czechia is the EU's most Euroskeptic nation, beating even the U.K. itself, which is why it's very natural that the British stories are a template what could be faced by us. We could be solving the same challenges as the Britons soon. Brussels could try to blackmail us or hurt us in analogous ways. The messy Brexit experience could be a reason for us to vote "Stay", after all, and so on. Second, Czechs went through the Velv... more »

The gyrations of SNC-Lavalin to have a law passed (obscurely in a Liberal “ *Omnibus*” Bill in 2018) that permits it (and giant firms like it) to write “deferred prosecution agreements” (in what is called a “remediation regime”) may be seen as nothing more than ... more »

That's the video. There's also an official White House transcript. What's to misinterpret? A Trump supporter who's a relative of a friend, claims he speaks in code and only The True Believers understand the code. Maybe it was that. Or maybe that there is a subtle white mustache on some of the videos (like the one above, as a matter of fact; look closely), proof that he had chopped up and snorted some Adderall before he marched out to meet the press. That would also help account for some of his more bizarre and incoherent behavior all through the Hanoi press conference. But what... more »

The U.S. Military's Next Super Weapon: Tactical Tunnels
*Michael Peck* *Security, * What? The U.S. military hates tunnels. The Japanese used them on Iwo Jima to ambush American soldiers. So did the Viet Cong, forcing American “Tunnel Rats” to ferret them out. North Korea and Iran use them today to protect their nuclear weapons programs, while *ISIS tunnels* have been a deadly thorn in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Even Israel has discovered Hezbollah and Hamas tunnels penetrating beneath its borders. But in the spirit of “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em,” the U.S. military wants to build its own tunnels on the battlefield. The Defe... more »
Trump-Kim Summit: The Art of Walking Away
*Thomas Cynkin* *North Korea, East Asia* Trump correctly followed the maxim that a bad deal is worse than no deal. Defying the expectations of his political detractors, President Donald Trump walked away from a bad deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Vietnam. The temptation must have been great, given the opportunity to distract from the president’s domestic troubles, the sheer amount of political capital he has invested in achieving a breakthrough with North Korea, and his unabashed interest in receiving a Nobel Peace Prize and sealing his place in history. But he cor... more »
4 Ways Trump Can Fix America's Immigration Problem
*James Jay Carafano* *Immigration, United States* Amnesty is not the right answer for illegal immigration. Few issues vex Washington lawmakers more than border security and immigration, so don’t blame President Donald Trump. The debate over how to fix America’s broken borders and flawed immigration system raged for two decades before he got the key to the Oval Office. Trump just threw napalm on a forest fire. This all can be fixed. Despite the fact that he is the center of the storm, Trump may be the best one to fix it—but only if he adopts a comprehensive agenda that focuses on... more »

How the Appropriations Bill Can Strengthen ‘Remain in Mexico’
While Congress and cable news chatter emergency powers and President Trump’s wall, there’s a far more important immigration fight under way on the southwest border. At a time when judicial deference to the executive on immigration law has nearly vanished, the country is one court ruling away from a disastrous immigration outcome. It was summarized this way by one Honduran caravan member, who traveled to the border because: “she had heard … that bringing her daughter would guarantee them admission into the United States.” She got it right—with one caveat. To avoid this outcome, the... more »
Lamar Alexander (R-TN) Could Pass The Resolution Of Disapprove-- Unless Kyrsten Sinema Moves To Save Trump
Kyrsten Sinema (AZ), the furthest right Democrat in the Senate, has, according to ProgressivePunch, been voting far less progressively than any other Democrat in the Senate *and* less progressively than Kentucky and Louisiana Republicans Rand Paul and John Kennedy!
