AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File On May 17, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed a special counsel to investigate ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The man he chose was James Comey’s predecessor as FBI director, Robert Mueller – a man who once said he hoped Comey would succeed him. Mueller served longer as FBI director (2001-2013) than any other except J. Edgar Hoover (1924-1972). Since the appointment, Mueller has been described as tough, a former athlete and a dec... more »
A Total And Complete Ban On Donald J. Trump (And Other White House Personnel) Re-entering Our Country
*-by Noah* I, Noah, am proposing a total and complete shutdown of so-called President Trump, and his associates, re-entering the United States, until our country’s investigators can figure out what the hell is going on. We have no choice. We have no choice. Until we are able to determine and understand the full extent of the problems and the dangerous threats they pose, our country cannot continue to be the victim of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in their own enrichment and have no sense of reason or respect for us. On Friday, Donald Trump, aka “Don the Con,” aka... more »

President Trump Touches Glowing Orb With Middle East Leaders
*ABC News Online*: *Donald Trump: What's actually going on in this picture of the US President touching a glowing orb?* A photograph of Donald Trump with his hands on a glowing orb was one of the most striking images from the US President's weekend visit to Saudi Arabia. Mr Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Saudi Arabia's King Salman gathered around a luminescent sphere, in a tableau which drew comparisons to scenes from Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter on social media. *Read more* .... *WNU Editor: *Needless to say .... this image has gone viral on the web.
"HE CHOKED!" REDUX
I'm amused by this story on the reaction to the president's Saudi Arabia speech: ... President Donald Trump is ... taking heat from his avid supporters.... His crime? Calling Islam “one of the world’s great faiths.” That double hit — ducking [the phrase] “[radical] Islamic terrorism” while praising the religion — was not received very well on Twitter.... @trawetsla Trump is the true meaning of an egomaniacal narcissistic power hungry cuck who wants total control — SCROTUS (@_NotFakeNews_) May 21, 2017 .... @PaulVandenburgh Why didnt he say Radica Islamic Terrorism?

CIA: International & Domestic Terrorism
I recently shared some passages from this book while I was about half-way through it. I've just finished reading it and want to share even more. It's a very important book and while few will read the entire thing at least many of you can read some excerpts from it. Douglas Valentine undertook a detailed study and analysis of the CIA's 'Phoenix' program of counterinsurgency in Vietnam. He interviewed many of the key players who created and directed Phoenix. Then Valentine took what he learned from the Vietnam program and shows how it has been refined and implemented in El Salvad... more »
5 Naval Battles That Changed History Forever
*James Holmes* *Security, * Topping my list are naval actions that decided the fates of civilizations, empires, or great nations. *Needless to say, drawing up a list like this one is tough. Many worthy candidates ended up on the cutting-room floor. China's Ming Dynasty was born through inland naval warfare, at the Battle of Lake Poyang (1363). The Battle of the Virginia Capes (1781) doomed Lord Cornwallis' army at Yorktown and assured American independence. The naval battles at Guadalcanal (1942-1943) reversed the tide of war in the Pacific, while the Battle of the Philippine Se... more »
Water War: Russia's Battlecruiser Kirov vs. America's Stealthy Zumwalt (Who Wins?)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Ocean showdown. *In a battle between the two ships, which would prevail? Let’s assume place the two ships on the high seas at the maximum range of either side’s antiship weapons: 300 miles, the range of Kirov’s Granit missiles. Unlike previous scenarios, we’ll not assume that each ship knows where the other is, but that eventually, one will find the other. Kirov has the Legenda satellite system working for it, but Legenda is a radar satellite, and Zumwalt is a stealthy destroyer with the radar signature of a small fishing boat.* *Both ships are fur... more »
How Not to Botch a Peace Deal with Israel 101
*Michael Singh* *Politics, Middle East* [image: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a 2011 interview. Flickr/Israeli Embassy Washington] Trump's foreign-policy team should not contemplate any deal with Israel unless that deal clearly advances U.S. interests. Of all of President Donald Trump’s priorities in the Middle East—defeating ISIS, countering Iran, and rebuilding damaged alliances among them—none is as surprising as his zeal for pursuing an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. The prevailing sentiment in Republican foreign-policy circles had been that President Obama ... more »
America's Real Pivot to Asia Needs to Be Energy
*Varun Sivaram, Sagatom Saha* *Economics, Asia* [image: Smokestack in city. Pixabay/Public domain] Now is an ideal time for Asian countries to increase their use of gas—and America is the perfect partner. President Trump wants to make America the world’s leading exporter of natural gas. But his administration’s strategy of slashing regulations and handing out permits cannot alone boost U.S. energy exports. That’s because demand for gas in the growing economies of Asia remains stagnant. Were that to change, China, India, Japan and Southeast Asian countries would offer lucrative n... more »
China's Belt and Road to Nowhere
*Christopher Whalen* *Economics, Asia* [image: Shanghai at night.

Launched in 2013 under the slogan “One Belt, One Road,” the effort involves China spending billions of dollars on infrastructure projects in countries along the old Silk Road link... more »
Syria: Why Trump Must Learn the Art of Stalemate Diplomacy
*Raymond Tanter, Edward Stafford* *Politics, Middle East* [image: U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor.

He should authorize American diplomats to engage with Turkish and Russian counterparts to craft an accord excluding Iran. *Missing Middle* In *War and the Art of Governance*, per Joseph Collins, Nadia Schadlow opines that ... more »

*Scott B. MacDonald* *Economics, Asia* [image: China Shipping containers in Hamburg.

Earlier this month, China hosted a major conference in Beijing promoting its Belt and Road Initiative or, as many are calling it, the new Silk Road.

Trump's Riyadh Speech: Bowing to the Saudi Regime
*Paul R. Pillar* *Saudi Arabia Terrorism, Middle East* The bar for Donald Trump’s speech in Riyadh had been set so low that it was scraping the sand. How much could be expected from a notorious exploiter of Islamophobia speaking to a gathering of leaders of majority Muslim countries? Getting through the experience without causing major new damage should perhaps be considered a success. Perhaps Trump and his speechwriters were wise not to attempt anything more. The Hippocratic principle applies: first do no (more) harm. Most Muslims hearing the speech, especially the more know... more »
Breaking down their own stereotypes to give veterans more career opportunities
Eileen Trauth, Professor of Information Sciences & Technology, and Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies, Pennsylvania State University at Science + Technology – The Conversation - 1 day ago
Veterans and service members on the job hunt. Office of Congressman Mike Quigley Military veterans have a higher unemployment rate than nonveterans, according to federal statistics. One reason may be that when veterans seek civilian jobs, they often face stereotypes from hiring managers. But another set of stereotypes may come into play as well: Veterans fall prey to their own preconceptions about certain types of jobs, and miss out on promising opportunities. Research I conducted with K.D. Joshi from Washington State University found that many veterans are well-qualified for work ... more »

How's Trump's "New Deal For Black America" Working Out So Far?

Last night SNL's cold open was not to be missed. Update!
I swear this SNL cast may be one of the most talented in the history of the show. My favorite by far is Kate McKinnon who seems to have no limit to her abilities. Speaking of McKinnon, I think I kind of preferred her version of Hallelujah. SNL is now going on their summer hiatus so we will not have their help in mocking the president and his cabinet, but I am sure that there are many others up to the challenge. Update: Most watched season finally since 2011.
