Palestinian groups fired rockets and mortars into Israel, killing one civilian and wounding 18. Both sides agreed to an uneasy ceasefire, but the key political issue... more »

Is A Chinese Economic Slowdown The Next Major Crisis?

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 36 minutes ago
A man at a brokerage house in Shanghai. REUTERS *Josh Rudolph, Atlantic Council*: *Will China’s Economic Slowdown Lead to a Major Crisis? * China has incurred the largest debt buildup in recorded economic history—and the prognosis is not good. The International Monetary Fund surveyed five-year credit booms near the size of China’s and found that essentially all such cases ended in major growth slowdowns and half also collapsed into financial crises. A 50 percent chance of a financial crisis for the world’s second-largest economy would represent one of the greatest threats to the ... more »

Meet the 5 Best .45 Caliber Handguns on the Planet

Kyle Mizokami at Test Feed Using Fields - 1 hour ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Do you agree? *In reality, the Glock 21 is actually one of the best, and most affordable, .45 ACP pistols on the market.* The .45 Automatic Colt Pistol round, or .45 ACP as it is commonly known, is fairly controversial. Invented in 1905 by prolific firearms designer John Moses Browning, the .45 ACP was the standard caliber of the Colt M1911 pistol, and remains so to this day. A heavy, subsonic bullet, a typical .45 ACP weighs twice as much as the 9mm Luger round and delivers a third more energy. *(This first appeared several months ago.) * Today, ... more »

Check Out the Sig Sauer P226: The Navy SEALs Gun Being Replaced by Glock

Meet the Kel-Tec PMR-30: The Deadliest Handgun on Planet Earth?

Kyle Mizokami at Test Feed Using Fields - 1 hour ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Here's all we know. *One major drawback for a .22 WMR gun is the ability for even novice shooters to repeatedly score hits on the target. Higher-caliber handguns generate significant amounts of recoil, making it difficult to hit the target with follow-up shots. A low-recoil gun makes it easier to plant more shots where you want them, opening up multiple wound channels.* The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a rarity among handguns on the market today: a pistol with a magazine holding more than seventeen rounds. The PMR-30 actually holds thirty rounds and does so wi... more »

Trans Child Abuse: School “Tricked” Pupils Into Believing They’re the Wrong Sex

Selwyn Duke at rss - 5 hours ago
[image: trans-child-abuse-school-tricked-pupils-into-believing-they-re-the-wrong-sex] At most, 0.03 percent of the population — three out of 10,000 people — suffers from “gender dysphoria,” the strong sense that one was born in the body of the wrong sex. Yet 17 children at one British school alone are in the process of “changing gender,” to use the common but incorrect terminology. A whistleblower reports that this isn’t because the institution is somehow beating the odds, however, but because social engineers are beating into the kids’ heads that they should be odd.

International donors will have some good news when they gather to review Afghanistan’s economic progress on November 27–28 in Geneva. While peace prospects, Taliban attacks, and Afghanistan’s unsettled politics will be on everyone’s mind, donors can applaud positive reviews of Afghan performance from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as welcome steps.
