In Cyber Warfare, the Front Line Is Everywhere the U.S. Government Isn’t
Cyber warriors in the United States are preparing for a digital Cold War, deterring cyberattacks against specific critical infrastructure—when what is most urgently needed is a counterinsurgency (an “e-surgency”) strategy to beat back the everyday cyberattacks that individually never rise to the level of acts of war. On their own, these strikes may not directly threaten national security. But taken together, they target this country’s civic center of gravity and pose a clear danger to U.S. values. Despite increased government attention and private-sector focus, cyberattacks are in... more »

The Clinton State Department’s Major Security Breach That Everyone Is Ignoring
'According to Gohmert, the inspector general discovered that, with four exceptions, "every single one" of Clinton's emails—more than 30,000—"were going to an address that was not on the distribution list." In other words, according to the information Gohmert received from the intelligence inspector general, something was causing Clinton's server to send copies of all of her email communications outside of the country "to an unauthorized source that was a foreign entity unrelated to Russia." If true, this means that Clinton's email communication with her top aides, department leader... more »

Can Trump prevent South Africa from becoming another Zimbabwe?
For 366 years, South Africa was one of the wealthiest nations of the black continent. This fact has obviously something to do with the Dutch colonists and their "Afrikaan" descendants. I often say that the Islamization of Western European countries may become irreversible once the percentage of Muslims exceeds 30% or so. However, South Africa was a clear counterexample to this inevitability. It has been a country that has preserved its European system despite the fact that the whites only represented about 10% of the population. But you know, this resilience was tied to a different ... more »
New Jersey Governor Just Banned Bear Hunting on State Lands
In 2003, New Jersey state officials decided to bring back managed bear hunting after it had been banned in the state for three decades. Proponents of resuming bear hunting portrayed this disturbing practice as a necessary step in controlling the state’s bear population and limiting human-bear encounters. Under this same faulty reasoning, then-Governor Chris Christie established an annual organized bear hunt in New Jersey in 2010. Since then, hundreds of bears have been legally culled each year in the state. In 2017 alone, 409 bears died at the hands of hunters, all under the guise ... more »

This would be a colossal blunder. The F-35 is too good for the Air Force (as well as the Navy and Marine Corps) to not acquire their full allotment.

In fact trade abuse was the low hanging fruit. Years of bluff and also inertia had allowed not only weak deals to be made but also to fester for far too long.

Canada actually has the opportunity to drive the true free trade agenda that is behind all this Recall that free trade must also include the ending of the whole subsidy game and to also establish clear sunset rules for every one. For example corn subsidies need to end. Ten percent per year is a workable arrangement. It allows capital to be slowly redirected. ... more »
