"Warren Buffet’s Favorite Stock Market Metric Is Signaling Huge Downside Ahead"
*"Warren Buffet’s Favorite Stock Market Metric* * Is Signaling Huge Downside Ahead"* by Adam Tumerkan "Yesterday Apple became the first public company worth over $1 trillion dollars. Thanks to very low interest rates – the company’s piling on debt and buying their own shares back – shrinking the float. And because of a worldwide rush into mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETF’s) – there’s crazy demand for Apple shares. The king of ‘buy and hold’ investing and a Champion of equities – Warren Buffet – must have grin on his face from ear to ear. Because Apple’s surge just netted... more »
Can America and Its Allies "Play Fort" against China Deadly Missiles?
*Harry J. Kazianis* *Security, Asia* "Protecting the aircraft is just a first step." *In general, investing in inherently defensive measures like hardening tends to increase crisis stability and reduce the security dilemma. If both sides had nothing but defensive weapons, then there would be no security dilemma. Defensive measures increase crisis stability by 1) reducing confidence on the part of the attacker that preemptive “knock-out” blows will succeed and 2) reducing the tendency of the defender to view the defended systems as “use it or lose it” assets.* As the United State... more »
Is This the End of the Liberal World Order?
*Christopher A. Preble* *Security, Americas* The foreign-policy establishment has relied on nostalgia and myth to avoid reckoning with the shortcomings of the liberal world order. Over the last several weeks, beginning with the NATO summit in Brussels, quickly followed by the meeting in Helsinki between President Donald Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin, reporters and pundits have been mourning the demise of long-standing U.S. foreign-policy nostrums, and lamenting the emergence of a dark and dangerous new world order.

5 Ways a Nuclear War Could Still Happen Today

The Climate Alarmists Oppose Air Conditioning
When it is hot outside in the developed nations, we turn on our air conditioners at home, at work, and in our cars.

Insofar as the Earth should warm, we would use more air-conditioning to mitigate its troublesome effects. But no, we are now told that the current generation of refrigerants cannot be used because they are greenhouse gases. Those who are convinced that the Earth is catastrophically warming want to disarm many by making air-conditioning much more expensive. Let us examine... more »

The current of the river swept silently over them all- young and old, rich and poor, good and evil, the current going its own way, knowing only its own crystal self. Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to the twigs and rocks of the river bottom, for clinging was their way of life, and resisting the current what each had learned from birth.

Here's how. *If we could kill the F-35, the ideal solution would likely involve a combination of two, three, and four, with different recipes including different amounts of each. Thus, a different way of phrasing the question that motivates this article is “how many UAVs and legacy aircraft would we need to make it to Generation Six?” If the United States does not envision air combat against a peer competitor within the next decade and a half, finding the right mix might well be possible.* *Editor’s Note: Please see previous work... more »
Why the F-35 is No F-22 Substitute
*TNI Staff* *Security, * But with the F-15C likely being retired in the coming years, the F-35 will have to step up. *Ultimately, the Air Force does need a new air superiority fighter—particularly for the Pacific theater. The service is currently studying a new extremely long-range Penetrating Counter-Air (PCA) fighter that would replace the F-22 and F-15C as America’s primary air superiority aircraft. However, it is likely that the F-22, F-35 and PCA will all serve together in the coming decades. But at the end of the day, the F-35 is no F-22 substitute.* Lockheed Martin’s F-3... more »

Incumbents Who Suck Should Be Primaried-- Not Incumbents Who Are Doing An Excellent Job
I don't have any firsthand knowledge of Ayanna Pressley. Everything I've heard about her has been excellent. But I do know Mike Capuano-- and he's nothing like Joe Crowley. I'm certain there was no one in the country working harder and more consistently than I was to displace Crowly over the last decade-- although it took a grassroots wonderwoman and her team to eventually do it. Before Alexandria was old enough to vote, I was calling local elected leaders in the Bronx and Queens asking them to challenge Crowley. Most were not sympathetic.

It's Not Heckling a Reporter That's a Threat to The Republic
A little time spent googling will reveal to anyone who bothers to look that Donald Trump has never actually said that the press is the enemy of the people.

To listen to the media today, The Republic is said to be on the verge of collapse and the press are in physical danger now, because Jim Acosta was heckled.

Adversarial collaborations don't solve anything

Tetragraviton has a magic solution – to force both sides to co-author a paper. These enemies fudge together and have a baby, a paper. Then they become friends who share the facts and standards.
