He said it. “Grab ’em by the pussy.” Billy Bush writes op-ed in response to Trump's denial about the Access Hollywood tape.
Courtesy of New York Times: *He said it. “Grab ’em by the pussy.” * *Of course he said it. And we laughed along, without a single doubt that this was hypothetical hot air from America’s highest-rated bloviator. Along with Donald Trump and me, there were seven other guys present on the bus at the time, and every single one of us assumed we were listening to a crass standup act. He was performing. Surely, we thought, none of this was real. * *We now know better.* Bush then goes on to talk about having read the stories by the women accusing Trump of sexual harassment or assault, an... more »
Why Glock Dominates the Handgun Market (And Better than Sig Sauer and Beretta)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The story of the Glock is simply amazing. *In the intervening thirty-five years, the Glock has become the dominant handgun in a crowded field of competitors. Despite stiff competition from countries emulating his polymer design, Glock 17 handguns serve with such diverse forces as the British Armed Forces, the Swedish Armed Forces, Indian special forces, the Iraqi military, the Israeli Defense Forces and the Yemeni military.

Why the AK-47 is the World's Most Feared Firearm (75 Million Guns in Nearly 100 Nations)
*Blake Franko* *Security, Asia* There is nothing like it. *The AK first saw widespread military use in Vietnam. American soldiers saw its effectiveness firsthand, as farmers armed with the rifle proved a tenacious foe. Washington would take this experience to heart and go on to design the AR-15 (what would become the M-16) with such lessons in mind. In doing so, the United States ended up arming its troops with a rifle that was lighter and capable of suppressing fire as well. In effect, America was saying goodbye to large-caliber rifles like the M-14 as standard infantry rifles... more »
Could North Korea Shoot Down a F-35, F-22 or B-1 Bomber?
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, Asia* A timely question. *North Korean low altitude air defenses are also fairly robust—even if the systems that Pyongyang fields are dated. “At low altitudes, they have huge numbers of license produced and indigenous MANPADs [man-portable air defenses] and 23-57mm anti-aircraft artillery—many thousands of pieces,” Kashin said. North Korea also has a large but nearly completely obsolete air force. The only aircraft Pyongyang possesses that might marginally threaten American airpower are its small fleet of Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrums. “They supposedly have... more »

Quote of the day
From James Delingpole: *Trump wields Twitter like a cross between a surgeon’s scalpel and a theater commander’s Daisycutter bomb.* It's from an article in which he analyzes how the President is playing to his popular base, rather than to other politicians and diplomats, particularly when he re-tweeted graphic illustrations of fundamentalist Islamic violence. [President Trump] was sending a message to the people he cares about: all those ordinary people out there, not just in the U.S. but in Europe and beyond, who are shocked, appalled, scared by the way their countries are slowl... more »
When Pharmacy Experts Take Medical Histories, Medication Errors Drop 80 Percent

Jacopo Zabarella On Knowledge

The Long-Term Invasion of Fake News in America
With the "fake news" mantra haunting the U.S. media, a look back in time would suggest that there is something at least a bit curious about a significant happening in the post-September 11th, 2001 events that is, at the very least, question worthy. In the interest of maintaining at least some balance, I have selected one leading news source from each side of the American political spectrum. Here is a report from Fox News on December 26th, 2001: Here is a similar report from the New York Times, also on December 26th, 2001: Osama bin Laden's death was also reported in an Egyptian ... more »
