President Trump Tours Violence-Ravaged Kenosha
*Daily Mail:* *Donald Trump tours violence-ravaged Kenosha and calls rioters 'domestic terrorists' then praises cops and says they shouldn't be demonized for 'choking' despite anger over Jacob Blake's shooting* * President Donald Trump arrived in Kenosha, Wisconsin as the city remains a tinderhouse of racial tensions * Both supporters and Black Lives Matter activists greeted Trump's motorcade, and a group of protesters gave him the middle finger as he arrived * His first stop was to survey damage from the riots that broke out after the police shooting of Jacob Blake * Earlier Tu... more »
Massachusetts Primary Results-- Progressive Movement Won The Big Prize, But...
Markey won his race handily tonight. Kennedy conceded. I bet Pelosi didn't call AOC and concede to her though. Every progressive group that endorsed Markey (other than Blue America) is trying to claim the credit but it really was a team effort that centered totally around Markey. Proof of that pudding. The other progressives picks (albeit not Blue America's)-- Alex Morse in the first congressional district and Ihssane Leckey in the 4th (the seat Kennedy gave up)-- lost. A quick word about them. Both were *perfect* on policy and would have voted right *all the time*. That isn't all... more »

Trump Is Very, Very Unwell: Troubling Video From Monday, 31 August 2020
Dear Readers, look at this video of Donald Trump from yesterday: https://twitter.com/CNNNewsource/status/1288007359751757824 Trump is in obvious, bad shape. He has an evident neurological issue with consequent muscular/motor impairment. Stroke? He slings his right leg when he walks; his right arm hangs limply. He has had recent trouble holding a water glass in public, descending a ramp with difficulty, and from time to time has had trouble pronouncing ordinary words clearly and correctly. His deteriorating condition is clearly being covered up. Anyone who has had experience with a... more »
Taiwan Can Land an F-16 on a Highway. Nice! (But Does It Matter?)
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Whether this will save Taiwan’s air force from a Chinese attack is a different matter. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *“The highway drill is necessary, as highway strips would be our priority choice if the runways are damaged during a war.” An F-16 landing on a public highway, engine roaring as its wheels touch the concrete, is a memorable addition to any driver’s morning commute. But whether this will save Taiwan’s air force from a Chinese attack is a different matter. Earlier this week, Taiwanese jets landed on a highway as... more »
Russia's New Stealth Drone Is Almost Ready To Penetrate NATO Airspace
*David Axe* *Technology, Europe* But the Russian drone is still facing some hurdles. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *To be effective in service, Hunter also will need small precision-guided munitions, Cooper pointed out. The Kremlin long has lagged behind the rest of the word in PGM development. It appears the Russian warplane-make Sukhoi has a plan to fix the most obvious flaw in the design of its new Hunter drone. Photos from The War Zone editor Tylor Rogoway obtained from the Sukhoi pavilion at Russia's MAKS air show last year in Moscow oblast reveal what is apparently th... more »
Battle of the Bombers: America's B-1 vs. Russia's Tu-160 (Who Wins?)
*TNI Staff* *Security, * The Tu-160 is much larger and much faster than the B-1B. *Key Point*: In the end, it’s not a question if the B-1B or Tu-160 is better. The Rockwell International B-1B Lancer strategic bomber and the Russian Tu-160 Blackjack look visually similar and even share some overlap in their mission sets, however, the two aircraft are quite different. The B-1A was originally designed as a high-altitude supersonic penetrator before the Carter administration cancelled the program in 1977 after it became apparent that the new bomber would not be able to survive again... more »
Pentagon War Gamers Predict A Destabilizing Time When China Achieves Conventional Military Parity With The U.S.

US-Funded Thai Protests: "Student Leaders" on Defensive, Lie About "No Masterminds"
*September 2, 2020* (Tony Cartalucci - ATN) - Thai-based English-language newspaper The Nation published a particularly poor example of journalism titled, "No mastermind behind students’ high-risk fight for democracy, says Rung." The article simply repeats the baseless, unqualified denials of Panusaya "Rung" Sithijirawattanakul, attempting to claim once again that the ongoing protests in Thailand are "organic," "self-organized," and that "there is no leader or mastermind behind political protests launched by the Student Union of Thailand." Of course, this is false. Thailand's bill... more »

September 1: After today's horrible news, yesterday's bad news became cheerful.
It has been disappointing to see how little we are informed by any of our news media - and that includes the social media like this one - about the remarkable shift in world power that we are living through. At the end of World War Two, the U.S. set out to rule the world. That was the real purpose of founding the United Nations. Europe, in particular, was to be united under American leadership. That was what the Korean War was all about. The bulk of the United Nations would join up behind the U.S. to establish a base in North Korea, and from that conquer China to make it an Ame... more »

Good Luck, China: Air Force RQ-180 Stealth Drones Are Headed To Asia
*David Axe* *Technology, Americas* Since 2017, the Air Force's secret stealth drone has been flying high. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The RQ-180 first flew in 2010, *Aviation Week* reported, finally allowing the Air Force to penetrate enemy air defenses with a far-flying reconnaissance craft. The service last possessed that capability in the late 1990s in the form of the Mach-three SR-71 manned recon plane. The U.S. Air Force’s secret stealth reconnaissance drone has been operational since 2017. Now the flying branch is setting up a forward base in Guam in order to suppo... more »
The B-21 Bomber Could Replace Fighter Aircraft
*David Axe* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] It’s getting harder for America’s current fighters -- non-stealthy F-15s, F-16s and F/A-18s and stealthy F-22s and F-35s -- alone to defeat enemy fighters and other air-defenses in order to protect the bombers. Armed drones might have to help. And the bombers also might need to be able to protect themselves. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The extremely high cost of developing a new Next-Generation Air-Dominance fighter -- potentially hundreds of billions of dollars -- is another factor in the Air Force’s decision to consider... more »
China's J-10 Fighter Is Getting Old
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] But it isn't doomed yet. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* As China puts more advanced indigenous radars and integrates new AESA radars on it, it could remain a credible threat, just as the F-16V remains relevant on the modern battlefield. In the 1990s, China introduced its answer to the MiG-29 and F-16. The J-10 was a light single-seat multirole aircraft meant to replace older J-7 and J-8 aircraft as the bulk of forces a possible adversary would meet. When China started to reopen itself to the world in the 1980s, the PLAAF reali... more »

From The Soviet Union To ISIS: The B-1 Lancer Is Ready To Kill All U.S. Enemies
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The B-1's nuclear mission has ended, but the storied bomber still flies. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Ironically, the B-1s is basically good at the same things the B-52 remains useful for: carrying lots of bombs and missiles over long distances and launching them at adversaries that can’t shoot back. The Bone is faster than the B-52, can carry heavier payloads, has more modern avionics, and is less conspicuous on radar. However, these advantages only marginally improve its survivability versus modern SAMs and fighters. Huge yet surprisingly... more »

Su-47: Russia's First Stealth Fighter Was a Dud
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] The Su-47 was impressive on paper, but it didn't stack up in real life. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* In fact, the Berkut ended up pioneering several technologies which eventually found their way into the Su-57, which amounts to a more dedicated effort to develop a true stealth fighter, a capability which takes precedence in fifth-generation aircraft design over maneuverability. In 1996, the March/April issue of Russian military periodical *Air Fleet Bulletin* published an innocuous-seeming photo of a meeting between ... more »

Why 4th-Generation Fighters Still Belong in a 5th-Generation World
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * The F-15, F-16 and Su-27 won't be retiring anytime soon. *Key Point*: We’ll likely see these planes flying into the 2050s, if not longer. As Russian and China’s 5th generation stealth fighters are nearing completion, some people are wondering how long much longer 4th generation fighters such as the F-16, F-15, Su-27, and MiG-29 are going to stick around.

Here are some of the more interesting tidbits we found: Why it’s not the Harvest Moon: Since the calendar has flipped to September, many people think any moon that rises this month ... more »
COVID-19 Is A Great Unequaliser
Rome - Any of the first names that the media reported as having Covid were those of the rich and powerful, from movie stars to political leaders. Be ye ever so high, the virus is above thee – or so it seemed. Now we understand that this perception, that came in part because at first only the wealthy and well-connected were getting tested, was misleading. The data is now crystal clear: Covid risk maps on to inequality, and Covid is a great unequaliser – in health, and in wealth. But just as the initial “optimistic” take about Covid – that it would equalize us – got it wrong, so too... more »
How Pennsylvania State Troopers Conduct Illegal Traffic Searches
To justify their searches, state police often claimed that a driver was nervous, sweating, or eating. One officer went so far as to say a dollar-sign tattoo on a man’s neck was an indicator of criminal activity that justified detaining him for a K-9 search. Officers also used the same language to justify their stops, no matter the context or circumstances of the arrest, a violation of their training. Police also held people during traffic stops longer than legally allowed. In one case, a man was held for nearly two hours before he was arrested. Drivers also had little choice in wh... more »
Wall Street Moving To Make A Mint Off The Mail, JPMorgan Postal Bank
Imagine if activists and elected officials were clamoring for emergency provision of food and McDonald’s offered to place a drive-thru window in every post office. Calling it #postalfood.

Military Recruiters Don’t Belong In High Schools
Since the end of the draft in 1973, the U.S. has relied on an all-volunteer service to maintain its 1.3 million-member global police force. Over the years the military has used a number of different recruitment methods, but the target audience has always been the same: high schoolers. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 significantly changed how military recruiters reach teenagers. Section 9528 mandates public high schools give military recruiters the same access to students that college recruiters get, including their personal contact information. Schools became gold mines for r... more »
Why Conflict Is Escalating In Portland
It's always been mythology that in the USA the First Amendment gives people the right to peacefully protest. It's always been mythology that when people commit acts of civil disobedience, such as marching or sitting down in the street, that they will generally be gingerly carried off with one cop taking each limb, carrying the arrested to an awaiting vehicle, and carefully placing them inside it. It's always been mythology that when there are two opposing groups of protesters, the police are there to act as a neutral party to keep them from hurting each other. Under certain circum... more »
