It's Extremely Unlikely Paul Ryan Will Be Able To Hold Onto His Seat In The 2018 Midterms
The new PPP survey has Congress' approval down at 9%. By a 49-35% margin, voters want to see Democrats win control of the House in 2018. On top of that, the Republican Speaker, Paul Ryan, has a job approval rating of just 16%-- with 62% of Americans disapproving of the way he's handling his job. (52% of Trump voters and 77% of Clinton voters disapprove of Ryan's job performance.) But there's much worse news for Ryan than that. The DCCC commissioned a poll of Ryan's congressional district last week. His job approval among WI-01 *Republicans* was just 29% and a good sample of Democr... more »

Trump and Korea. I’m Also Scared
[image: undefined] President Trump’s ability to trigger a nuclear war is "pretty damn scary" said former US intelligence director James Clapper this week. Remember when Trump vowed to "bomb the shit" out of his enemies?

He’s scared and I am too. This week, Trump proclaimed he would continue the pointless, stalemated US colonial war in Afghanistan and might ask India to help there – a sure-fire way ... more »

With two CVWs in the Maneuver Force, eight to ten aircraft would be able to engage the enemy from long range. Similarly, a squadron o... more »

The Idea of Renewable Energy Is Reported to Have Originated with the Nazis; at Least They Were Wise Enough to Reject It
The renewable energy zealots have never publicized where their renewable energy idea originally came from. It has now been reported that it came from the Nazis. But in 1936 the Nazis had the good sense to reject it as one of their guiding principles for their energy supply. They realized that it would cost too […]
B-52, B-2 and B-21 Bombers Are Getting Nuclear-Tipped Cruise Missiles
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * Either Lockheed Martin or Raytheon will build it. The United States Air Force has awarded Lockheed Martin and Raytheon a pair of contracts worth about $900 million each to develop the stealthy Long Range Standoff (LRSO) nuclear-tipped cruise missile. Each contact will run for 54-month period of performance during which the two companies will perform technology maturation and risk reduction (TMRR) work on their respective designs. At the end of the 54-month TMRR phase, the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center will choose a single contractor for the Engin... more »
This Middle Eastern Power Might Start Buying Up Lethal Russian Military Gear
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * Could this happen? The United Arab Emirates is starting to show interest in Russia’s Uran-9 unmanned reconnaissance and fire support ground combat vehicles. If Moscow secures a deal with the Gulf Arab state, Russia could use the money to finance the development of an export version of the machine. In the near term however, the prospect of a deal is fairly remote because the Uran-9 has not entered service with the Russian military. "A number of foreign customers, including representatives of the United Arab Emirates, are showing interest in Uran-9 mo... more »

*Daniel Levy* *Politics, Middle East* [image: An Israeli soldier walks points his weapon toward Palestinian protesters during clashes in the West Bank village of Kofr Qadom near Nablus August 11, 2017. REUTERS/Mohamad Torokman] Israel has undoubtedly scored some wins, while the Palestinian leadership has suffered from division and strategic ineptitude. The long-running police investigations into the affairs of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to cross a Rubicon earlier this month.

America Needs a Taiwan Strategy for the 21st Century
*Russell Hsiao* *Politics, Asia* [image: Taiwan's air force soldiers practice during a national day rehearsal in Taipei] Much has changed since the lines in the sand were drawn in 1982. The current framework for the trilateral relationship between Washington, Taipei and Beijing requires recalibration. Relations between Washington and Beijing have had a disproportional influence in how the former conducts its informal relations with Taiwan. While a Taiwanese policy of maintaining the “status quo” remains the best near-term option, it is unsustainable in the long term. Moreover, c... more »

Chet Raymo, “The Seat of the Soul”
*“The Seat of the Soul” * by Chet Raymo "It was not my first visit. I had been there once before to talk with the great man, to the Castle of Cloux, near Amboise, in the valley of the Loire. He had been living there since 1516, at the invitation of Francis I, king of France. He was 67 years old, bundled up in a thick fur wrap by a roaring fire. His face showed age but not infirmity. Long white hair fell about his shoulders. White beard. Thick, downswept brows shaded his eyes like awnings. A strong nose. And of course the mouth, serious yet generous, not unlike the mouth of the Chri... more »
Tecumseh, "Live Your Life..."
"Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours.

Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of liv... more »

CO2 and Pollution
Of the alarmist's position on CO2, an astrophysicist friend of mine recently wrote: *For me, the greater annoyance is their repeated reference to carbon dioxide as "pollution." That shows how uneducated and corrupt they really are. * - *Since every living creature exhales carbon dioxide, it can hardly be pollution. * - *Since carbon dioxide is obviously non-toxic, it can hardly be pollution. * - *And since we are all carbon creatures who derive our existence from atmospheric carbon dioxide, it is especially absurd to call carbon dioxide "pollution."* In a... more »
Protesting Hells Angels War Show in Brunswick
Seven of us gathered for just over an hour around noon today in downtown Brunswick to hold banner, signs and hand out flyers to promote our protest against the Navy Blue Angels airshow this coming Saturday in our community. Our timing turned out to be quite good as the Hells Angels flight team was zooming around Brunswick in order to promote their appearance. They blasted just overhead along Main Street in Brunswick several times and then flew various formations over the city during most of our time on the street. Many hundreds of cars passed by and got a good look at our banner ... more »
