Iconic photo of Che Guevara, public domain. *Jeff Sanders, PJ Media: **Seven 'Great' Marxist Leaders Young Socialists Need to Know* The past several years have taught me that, sadly, socialism (especially its most virulent kind — Marxism) is alive and well on college campuses, in the media, in American government, and even among the rank and file of American citizens. Do these followers of socialism, sometimes waving red flags and wearing "Che" Guevara t-shirts, not know the truth about Marxist leaders over the past 100 years? Apparently not. In our day, I often come across people... more »
DON JUNIOR POSTED A FAKE GRAPHIC, BUT CNN SAVED HIM A LOT OF WORK
*(The Donald Trump Jr. Instagram post cited below has been deleted. I've replaced it with a copy of the image Junior posted.)* Donald Trump Jr. got caught cooking the books a couple of days ago: Donald Trump Jr. posted a fake graphic to Instagram on Wednesday to misrepresent his father’s approval rating. It was unclear who made the fake graphic that the president’s eldest son shared in an Instagram post that has not yet been deleted, but in it his father’s 40 percent approval rating is clearly visible below a photoshopped 50%....

The Saudi - Canada Dispute and the Russian Viewpoint
The recent diplomatic spat between Canada and Saudi Arabia has made the news cycle around the world but one aspect of the dispute has received very little coverage. Given that Saudi Arabia is actually growing closer, particularly since the October 2017 summit between the two nations, and given the fact that Russia has banned Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chrystia Freeland, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Russia has offered its considered opinion on the recent fray. Let's open this posting by looking at recent developments which show us the recent evolution of the relat... more »
Bismarck vs. Hood: How Hitler's Most Deadly Battleship Sunk the Pride of the Royal Navy
*Warfare History Network* *Security, * "Of all the German surface warships, the British feared Bismarck the most. Her size, speed, and firepower made her a definite threat to Allied shipping in the Atlantic, and it was imperative that she be neutralized." *In July 2001, the wreck of the Hood was found 9,334 feet below the surface of the Denmark Straight. She lies in three sections with the bow on its side, the mid section upside down, and the stern speared into the seabed. In 2013, the wreck was more fully explored with a remote-control vehicle.

Russia Had Plans to Build a Deadly Battleship Fleet. Here's Why It Never Happened.
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * As predominantly land power, the Soviet Union was fated to spend most of its resources on land forces. Sea power by necessity came in at third place. While the USSR did manage to field four Kirov-class battlecruisers in the 1980s, it never came anywhere near to realizing Stalin’s great red fleet. *The plan was doomed to failure. The Soviet Union never had much large-shipbuilding capacity, and developing such capability had been delayed by the Great Patriotic War. Furthermore, the war had done great damage to the country’s industrial capacity, which n... more »
The Army Has Big Plans to Out 'Gun' Russia or China in a War
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * The Army is fast-tracking an emerging program to engineer a longer-range artillery cannon able to out range enemy ground forces by hitting targets at more than twice the distance of existing artillery. *Interestingly, the new initiative may incorporate and also adjust some of the tenets informing the 1980’s Air-Land Battle Doctrine; this concept, which came to fruition during the Cold War, was focused on integrated air-ground combat coordination to counter a large, mechanized force in major warfare. While AirLand battle was aimed primarily at the Soviet... more »

I've been working on space warfare issues since 1983. At that time I lived in Orlando, Florida (one hour from the space center) and it was easy to pay attention when Ronald Reagan announced Star Wars - SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative). It's never been about defense. The US space program was essentially created by the former Nazi rocket scientists brought over to the US after Hitler was defeated. Much of the heavy lifting to defeat Hitler was done by the Soviet Union which lost 27 million people during the Nazi invasion. Cut away to 1997 and the US Space Command document entit... more »

Well we still don't know all the details. Only around 70% of the votes were counted by Thursday morning in Washington's top-two jungle primaries. But in the statewide race-- Maria Cantwell's reelection-- about twice as many Democrats voted as Republicans. That filtered down to the three crucial congressional races as well. The big picture for the House is that there are 6 Democrats and 4 Republicans in the Washington House congressional delegation. None of the Democrat seats are in jeopardy. But 3 of the Republican seats are. There's a better than 50/50 chance that in January the ... more »
The Argumentative Existentialists: Koestler, Camus, and Sartre
Camus; KoestlerThe existentialist movement dominated the cultural life in Europe after the Second World War, but by the 1980s, it had fizzled out, and the word “existentialist” with a capital “E” was seen as an embarrassment. But why did existentialism fail? It failed because the movement was more about identity and less about philosophy; it had too many rockstars and too few thinkers. Sarah Bakewell, in her book *At The Existentialist Café: Freedom, Being, and Apricot Cocktails*, offers an account of the of emotional and egoistical conflicts between the rockstar existentialist th... more »

The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we shrink from being fully alive."

“The bottom line of the real fire data produced by the State of California and in the peer-reviewed literature is clear: there has been no upward trend in the number of wildfires in California during the past decades,” Mass wrote on his blog. “In fact, the frequency of fires has declined,” he wrote. “And in most of the state, there has not been an increasing trend in area burned during the past several decades.”
Greg Hunter, "Weekly News Wrap-Up 8/10/18"
*"Weekly News Wrap-Up 8/10/18"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani thinks the Russia probe by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is going to “blow up” on Mueller and his team. It has become apparent Mueller has not got a single charge that Trump colluded with the Russians to win the 2016 election. The FBI and the DOJ simply made up crimes to frame Trump to try to kick the President out of office. It’s a failed coup, and the people that tried to pull it off are in deep trouble. The internet purge is here, and sites like InfoWars.com are just the first to be... more »
5 Futuristic Super Weapons That Could Change Warfare Forever
*J.Michael Cole, National Interest:* *Killers: 5 Futuristic Super Weapons That Could Change Warfare Forever* *Who will dominate the wars of the future? * Predicting which five weapons will have the greatest impact on the future of combat is a problematic endeavor, as the nature of warfare itself is fluid and constantly changing. A system that could be a game-changer in a major confrontation between two conventional forces—say, China and the United States—could be of little utility in an asymmetrical scenario pitting forces in an urban theater (e.g., Israeli forces confronting Pale... more »

A New Middle Eastern Sunni Military Alliance Like NATO's?
Atlas of the Middle East Illustration by Greg Groesch/The Washington Times *Daniel Gallington and Abraham Wagner, Washington Times:** A Middle East strategic alliance* The Trump administration is quietly pushing ahead with a plan for a new security and political alliance with six Gulf Arab states, Egypt and Jordan, in part to counter Iran’s expansion in the Middle East. The plan, which some in the White House and Middle East are calling an “Arab NATO” of Sunni Muslim allies can clearly be seen as one way to counter expansionism by Shi’ite Iran and referred to as the Middle East Str... more »

Butina Case: Neo-McCarthyism Engulfs America
[image: undefined] The United States Department of Justice would apparently have you believe that the Kremlin sought to subvert the five-million-member strong National Rifle Association (NRA) by having two Russian citizens take out life memberships in the organization with the intention of corrupting it and turning it into a mouthpiece for President Vladimir Putin. Both of the Russians – Maria Butina and Alexander Torshin – have, by the way, long well documented histories as advocates for gun ownership and were founders of Right to Bear Arms, which is not an intelligence front organ... more »

Is Russia’s Military Better At War Than America’s?
Russian Federation *John Ruehl, The Interprete*r:* Is Russia’s Military Better Than America’s?* The U.S. will devote $700 billion to its budget for 2018, dwarfing Russia’s $66 billion effort, a trend that has been consistent for more than 25 years. Yet Russia’s military has been relatively successful in recent conflicts, while the U.S. armed forces have not. American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq became multi-year quagmires, in comparison to Russia’s rapid victories against Georgia and Ukraine. The short-lived U.S. intervention in the Libyan civil war was also another mistake, whe... more »

The Poet: Mary Oliver, “October”
*“October”* "There’s this shape, black as the entrance to a cave. A longing wells up in its throat like a blossom as it breathes slowly. What does the world mean to you if you can’t trust it to go on shining when you’re not there? and there’s a tree, long-fallen; once the bees flew to it, like a procession of messengers, and filled it with honey. I said to the chickadee, singing his heart out in the green pine tree: little dazzler little song, little mouthful. The shape climbs up out of the curled grass. It grunts into view.

Before We Evaluate Teachers
Policy hounds have been searching for a tool to accurately and fairly evaluate K-12 teachers for years, and to date, they have been largely unsuccessful. That has left us stalled in versions of the following conversations: Policy leaders: We are going to evaluate teachers by flipping this magical coin. Teachers: I really don't want to be evaluated by the flip of a coin, magical or otherwise. Policy leaders: You teachers! You're all opposed to evaluation and accountability. This is not a useful conversation. The root problem with the current state of teacher evaluation is that w... more »
