BWorld 160, A high carbon tax is irrational
* This is my article in BusinessWorld last October 19, 2017. Political science masquerading as climate science insist that the gas that we humans and our animals exhale, the gas that is used by trees, flowers, fruits and other crops to grow and feed the world — carbon dioxide or CO2 — is a pollutant that must be over-taxed and over-regulated. Far from the truth. CO2 is a useful gas, not a pollutant. Since it is useful, the optimal carbon tax for coal in particular is not P10/ton, not P20, not P600, but zero. However, a zero tax on coal is unpopular from the world of climate alarmis... more »

Why a Nuclear War Between America and North Korea Is Very Possible
*Ramesh Thakur* *Security, Asia* But we do have pathways to avoid it. By 2020, North Korea will either be a post-atomic wasteland; an active war zone; or a de facto nuclear-armed state with a fully developed intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capability, and grudgingly accepted as such. To paraphrase Churchill’s familiar bon mot on democracy, learning to live with that reality would be the worst outcome, except for all the alternatives. North Korea is no longer pursuing nuclear capability; it is a nuclear-armed state. It has maybe 60 nuclear bombs already, ICBMs to put U... more »

It was an especially noteworthy clash given that Western allies supplied many of Iraqi Kurdistan’s anti-tank missiles and Iraq’s Abrams tanks. The Iraqi military’s Joint Operations Command accused the Peshmerga of targeting the tank with a wire-guided MILAN anti-tank missile launcher, which Germany supplied by the dozens to the Peshmerga for use against Islamic S... more »

About drones and terrorists - it's happening right now
A few weeks ago, I repeated warnings from several quarters that terrorists had used, and were planning to use, hobby-style drones as weapons of terror.

The hobby drone referred to at that link, the 3DR Solo Quadcopter, costs only $199 from online retailers such as Amazon.com. It can carry a payload of 1.1 pounds, according to its user manual - and Mexican drug cartels were obviously using that capability to t... more »

Top House Republicans Announce Investigations into UraniumGate and Clinton E-mail Scandal

There is the mounting evidence about the Clintons’ collusion in the UraniumOne deal.

And on Tuesday, the fallout has led House Republicans to announce the launch of two new congressional probes.

Miscellaneous material for your mid-week reading. - Hugh Mackenzie writes that the biggest problem with the Libs' closing tax loopholes for private corporations was the failure to push for far more tax fairness: Any tax reform that isn’t just a give away creates winners and losers.

Russia Is Not Ready For A War On The Korean Peninsula
Yuri Smityuk/TASS *Paul Goble, RCD/The Jamestown Foundation:* *Russian Far East Ill-Prepared for War in Korea* Instead of preparing for a military conflict on the Korean peninsula, Russian officials and the media dependent on them are urging residents of the Russian Far East to focus on attracting foreign investment and spending leisure time rather than taking the steps needed to prepare that region to assist North Korea, to accept mass refugees from that country, or even to protect themselves from possible armed attack. This charge was made recently by Vladivostok sociologist Igo... more »

Oct. 25: Let's Think About Nov. 11 and Our War Dead.

WAS IT REALLY TRUMP WHO DROVE FLAKE OUT OF THE SENATE?
President Trump is getting a lot of credit for making officeholders like Bob Corker and Jeff Flake unwelcome in the Republican Party -- but Flake, at least, was unpopular in his home state of Arizona long before Trump came along. Erick Erickson thinks it's because Flake, a very right-wing member of the House a decade ago, stopped being conservatively correct. Going all the way back to 2005, Flake had a consistently conservative record on fiscal issues. He was one of the very few congressmen supported by the Club [for Growth] with *a lifetime 100% score*.

Issues with smaller handguns
I said some years ago: ... smaller handguns are more difficult to shoot well than larger handguns. A good example may be found in the Glock handgun series. The Glock 17 is a full-size handgun; the Glock 19 is a compact version; the Glock 26 is a sub-compact, highly concealable version; and the Glock 34 is an extra-long-slide competition version, with the same frame and grip as the Glock 17. . . . Obviously, one's hand can grasp the full-size grip of the G17 or G34 better than the slightly shorter grip of the G19, and any of those three better than the severely abbreviated grip of... more »
