The Democrats-- And The Country-- Cry Out For A Champion... It's Not The Starbucks Guy, No Matter How Many P.R. People He Hires
*Howard Schultz, left of Trump... right of the Democratic Party* If there’s one thing that people seem to think Trump proved is that virtually *anyone* can run for president. I suspect, though, that once he’d finally driven out of office, that isn’t going to be a consensus. But in 2020 several ambitious but questionably-qualified candidates will give it a go— unaccomplished congressmen, freshmen senators who have never done a thing but run their mouths, businessmen galore, self-entitled billionaires, cultural celebrities in the same way Trump was… It’s hardly news that billionaire M... more »
Is This Germany's 'M16'? The Strange Story of Heckler & Koch G41
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * [image: By US gov - US gov, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4374454] The rifle is almost totally obsolescent, having been surpassed by far lighter, modular, ergonomic rifles. In the 1980s, many countries were looking to transition from rifles that fired the older 7.62x51mm round to ones that could fire the new 5.56x45mm round. France had adopted the FAMAS in a slightly modified version of this caliber, while the United States had been using the M16 since the 1960s. But many countries hadn’t transitioned yet.

Former NRC Head Gregory Jaczko Says Union Of Concerned Scientists Is Wrong On Nuclear
Gregory Jaczko, Ph.D., has a degree in theoretical physics, a hatred for nuclear power, and a love for his former boss Senator Harry Reid of Nevada - which is why Reid lobbied so heavily to get him placed as Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The Chair of the NRC, tasked with managing nuclear energy in America, hated nuclear energy? Yes and he still does, but despite that he got the job because, well, that's politics. President George W. Bush was a dealmaker and Senator Harry Reid wanted the Bush administration to ignore two decades of studies showing that Am... more »
Was GOP Defeated For Not Being Reformy Enough
You can say many things about Jeanne Allen of the Center for Education Reform (CER), but you can't say that she's not seriously devoted to the cause of privatizing education through charters, vouchers, and any other reformy tools you care to mention. And while folks have many theories about why, exactly, the Democrats took control of the House, Allen has her own theory-- They weren't reformy enough. Her theory ran in the Washington Examiner, and it reads like a dispatch from an alternate dimension. But, she says, she has proof. Well, then- proceed. Let's learn a little more about t... more »

"Why Are So Few Americans Able To Get Ahead?”
*"Why Are So Few Americans Able To Get Ahead?”* by Charles Hugh Smith "Our entire economy is characterized by cartel rentier skims, central-bank goosed asset bubbles and stagnating earned income for the bottom 90%. Despite the rah-rah about the "ownership society" and the best economy ever, the sobering reality is very few Americans are able to get ahead, i.e. build real financial security via meaningful, secure assets which can be passed on to their children. As I've often discussed here, only the top 10% of American households are getting ahead in both income and wealth, and most... more »

How a Deadly Russian World War II .50 Caliber Machine Gun Blasted its Mark into History
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The story of the DShK. Few American weapons are quite so legendary as the powerful M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun, or “Ma Deuce,” still widely employed a century after its initial development in 1918. However, the Soviet Union built its own .50 caliber weapon that became just as widespread—and punched out its own mark on world history from Vietnam and Afghanistan to Somalia and Syria today. Many assume heavy machine guns use larger bullets for increased anti-personnel lethality. However, while .50 caliber rounds can indeed inflict gruesome injur... more »

Tom Walkom writes that Donald Trump is desperate to leave his mark: He wants to be remembered as more than just a crude blowhard with funny hair. All presidents want to leave a legacy. But Trump’s need for acceptance and praise is so achingly obvious as to be almost pitiable. He is desperate to make a mark. If a hung Congress means he can’t do it the usual way, he will find another. So if he can't work with Congress, what could he do? Walkom suggests a couple of strategies: Expect Trump to focus more on matters over which Congress exercises little control, such as foreign and ... more »

5 Most Deadly 'Stealthy' AIP Submarines on Planet Earth
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * [image: By Hunini - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=68756665] No nuclear, no problem. One of the most crucial improvements in submarines of the postwar era is the air independent propulsion (AIP) system. First fielded in the 1990s, the development of AIP changed the ways non-nuclear submarines operated, allowing them to fight—and hide—underwater longer. Combined with their extreme quietness, the use of AIP has made modern diesel-electric subs efficient killers, capable of stalking and sinking their prey even in... more »

WOW!! Watch CNN Accidentally Air the TRUTH About the #BORDERLINE "Event" While Lying
*We gave up our freedom in the last century buy letting bankers, financers and in particular the Rothschild's set up a private bank and tax the American people.

The United States government sets up these mass killings (psy-ops) on the American people in order to pass more gun legislation... more »

Let me put it bluntly: The Sephardim and the Mizrachim are DUMB -- on average of course. And they pull the national averages down. Doing a study of Ashkenazi children only would yield very different results* The culprit, says one economist, is a society-w... more »

Government-subsidised plug-in cars may never have been charged
By Paul Homewood h/t Dave Ward/Philip Bratby/Ian Magness Well, I did tell you so!

To amplify their criticisms they do their best to link critics with Nazis. Relevant excerpt below.That is of course totally amusing: The Nazi party really was the first Green party. The end state desired by the curren... more »
