Pelosi's Jihad Against Progressive Ideas And Progressive Leaders
I've been talking to an increasing number of progressive candidates for Congress who have told me that they have no intention of voting for Pelosi as speaker in 2021. Flagstaff progressive and AZ-01 congressional candidate *Eva Putzova* head it right on the head: "If we are going to address climate and healthcare crises and inequality, we need leaders who understand that yesterday's politics won't work. When elected I will support a leader who is not out of touch with working class people's struggles and who can see how visionary the Green New Deal and Medicare for All are. Speaker... more »

*The delusional Andrew Cuomo: 'We Didn't Have Hurricanes' Before Climate Change* On Friday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) said that hurricanes, superstorms, and tornadoes did not occur before climate change. In the same breath, he said that anyone who questions the left's climate-alarmist hysteria is "just delusional." He may want to check in a mirror. After he finished berating President Donald Trump in an interview with MSNBC, Cuomo turned to his latest attempt to enforce climate change orthodoxy.

The Importance of Culture
Michael Oakeshott’s central insight in his essay, “Rationalism in Politics,” is that liberty is not an ideal that can be exported from one culture to another, rather it is a practice that germinates in a certain type of culture under historical circumstances that are extremely rare. Therefore, an attempt by the free nations to use their military or economic power to export the ideal of liberty to the unfree nations will mostly end in a disaster. The interesting thing is that Oakeshott, a conservative scholar, presented this insight in 1947, more than four decades before the neo-cons... more »
How Hollywood Sees China Thanks to These 8 Movies

Here are eight key cinematic checkpoints along the winding road of U.S. impressions of the Middle Kingdom.

ZEV OZ-9 “Glock-alike” Pistol Fires More Than One Bullet At a Time
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * No wonder it was recalled (and no wonder real Glocks are so popular). On October 15, 2019 ZEV Technologies issued a recall of their ZEV OZ-9 “Glock-alike” pistols. The recall was issued as the OZ-9 could fire more than one round per trigger pull. The issue with the OZ-9 points out an important issue in aftermarket Glock parts and in pistols that use actions very similar to the Glock: when dimensions are altered from the original, reliability and safety issues can arise. The majority of Glock modifications that can cause these issues are a result of cha... more »

The JF-17 Fighter Shows How China Will Help Pakistan Fight Off India
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Chinese design, Russian engine, Pakistani flown. *Key point:* The global arms market meets the world's most dangerous hot zone. The 2019 India-Pakistan border skirmish resulted in major shake-ups within the Indian Air Force (IAF). The most accepted narrative, that of a loss of an IAF MiG-21 Bison to no losses of the Pakistan Air Force bodes poorly for the IAF. But interestingly, according to a July interview, the skirmish marked one of the first “hot” use of Pakistan’s new Chinese JF-17 “Thunder” fighters.
