The Poet: Edgar Allan Poe, “A Dream Within A Dream”
*“A Dream Within A Dream”* “Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone?

O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I no... more »

The White House Has A Step-By-Step 'Program Of Escalation' For Venezuela
[image: undefined] The White House has prepared an intelligence blueprint for regime change in Venezuela, according to a bombshell Monday evening report in Axios. According to the report, which follows a New York Times story from early this month that confirmed the administration had previously established a "clandestine channel" involving covert meetings with Venezuelan military coup plotters targeting President Nicolás Maduro, the White House has prepared for multiple scenarios involving dramatic military escalation that could trigger US invasion of the small Latin American count... more »

Donald Trump Has Betrayed the Working Class. Start with his new...
Robert Reich - 6 hours ago
*Donald Trump Has Betrayed the Working Class. * Start with his new tax law–one of the very few laws he actually got through the Republican Congress. Trump said it would likely give every American worker a wage increase of $4,000, but the typical worker’s wages have gone nowhere, which is one reason Republicans have stopped campaigning on the tax law. Now, Trump wants to use executive action to cut taxes on the rich by an additional $100 billion. If that weren’t enough, Trump has cut the pay of average workers. His Labor Department repealed overtime protections, at an estimated ... more »

No Second Referendum
If you're a hard remainer, it's been a good couple of days. Labour's stance on Brexit has tilted a bit more toward a second vote, though without explicitly committing itself to such. And a number of polls are suggesting more are moving toward remain than leave, which is understandable. If the incompetence by which the Tories have gone about negotiating Britain's exit from the EU doesn't give you the jitters, I don't know what will.

Pair this with studies showing that boys outperform girls mathematically and the Left may implode. Perhaps biology matters more than they’d like to believe.

How Dangerous Is China's Navy?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Let's find out. *Many of China’s ship classes—including the Type 054A, Type 056, and even the Type 052D—have been built so rapidly their construction runs are complete or could be completed within one to three years.

And that matters. *The irony is that Tehran doesn’t need to be ashamed of its resourceful use of old jet fighters. In the nine-year-long Iran-Iraq war during the 1980s, Iranian fighter pilots fought one of the most intense air wars in recent history defending their home soil. Though higher-performance F-4 Phantoms and F-14 Tomcats shot down dozens of Iraqi fighters (and suffered losses in return), even the F-5s chalked up a number of kills against MiG-21 fighters and Su-20 attack jets.* In... more »
