Tal Afar Battle Day 6
On the sixth day of the Tal Afar offensive the three fronts attacking the town all met. The two thrusts from in the west met up with the southern push. That was accomplished by taking Nida, Khadra, Saad, Talaa, and Nasr. In the process, the entire Mahalabiyadistrict was liberated. The Federal Police seizeda town outside Tal Afar as well. By the end of the day just over half of the town was in government hands. The fighting should be over in just a few days, and then mopping up operations should take place to clear up the towns that were bypassed in the charge to get to Tal Afar. ... more »

One Way to End Drug War Violence
[image: undefined] Two police officers in Kissimmee, Florida, were recently shot and killed while investigating illegal drug activity in a dangerous part of town. According to the New York Times, government officials praised the officers for their service and asked Floridians to pray for other law-enforcement personnel. President Trump weighed in with a tweet in which he offered his thoughts and prayers for the Kissimmee police and their families. There is one big thing about that picture, however: It is the drug war itself, which Trump and, no doubt, most of the Kissimmee police de... more »

"Conspiracy Theory"

The explanations imposed on us by the ruling class are themselves conspiracy theories. Moreover, they are conspiracy theories designed to hide the real conspiracy that our rulers are operating. For example, the official explanation of 9/11 is a conspiracy theory. Some Muslims, mai... more »

The 2 Forgotten Reasons China and America Probably Won't Go to War
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Asia* Simple: Nukes and geography. Until recently, many dismissed the view that the United States and China could go to war as outlandish.

Still others argued that a great power war is simply unimaginable in the modern era of globalization. I never subscribed to this view point.

Trump had moral duty to pardon political prisoner Arpaio
The Trump presidency that most of the American voters celebrated after the 2016 election is dead, Steve Bannon said. Well, parts of it look dead but thankfully, there are other parts the look alive and kicking to me. Joe Arpaio is 85-year-old, has served America at least since the Korean War, and became famous for his effective fight against the illegal immigration when he was a sheriff in Arizona, the true men's zona. ;-) In his campaign against the illegal immigration, he assumed that if it looks like an illegal immigrant, walks like an illegal immigrant, quacks like an illegal ... more »

Time to End the Lost Afghan War
Yes, perhaps it is. winning this war has never been a military proposition simply because it has a cultural problem that must be solved first. The military can only provide an umbrella. Solving the cultural problem is possible but will have to be solved at home first and then in much easier battle spaces than the mountains of Afghanistan. The tribes themselves have nothing to be proud of. They retain barbarism and and this provides no capacity for real growth. In fact peace is their only choice for a way forward and was always possible. It is no victory when you absorb ridic... more »
Temperatures Plunge after Technical fix
Fortunately this has not gone on for years and it got caught early and was then fixed. What were they thinking? This is not data for which an artificial floor is inconsequential. It could even be dangerous in the wrong place as anyone who has experienced minus sixty is well aware. The margins become real narrow there. It is really odd considering just how controversial real measurements have become with heat island effects.

Midnight Meme Of The Day
*-by Noah* Ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio was voted out of office and convicted for his crimes, including crimes against the Constitution of the United States.
