The other side of the fence

sue at Is the BBC biased? - 17 hours ago
Mishal Husain must have banked a mountain of footage while she was in Gaza. It must be piling up in the bowels of the BBC, waiting to be suitably edited and slowly drip-fed to viewers, lest we are distracted by Brexit and forget how awful Israel is. (“sorry this episode is not currently available”) So Gaza’s hospitals are suffering from terrible shortages. No money. No medicine. No electricity. No water. No medical equipment. And all because of Israel’s blockade or siege. Admittedly there was a fleeting reference to squabbles between Hamas and the PA, but the overriding message is ... more »

Meet the Deadly Sig Sauer P220: The Legendary Gun That Changed Everything

Kyle Mizokami at Test Feed Using Fields - 17 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * [image: By Rama - Own work, CC BY-SA 2.0 fr, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=285974] The P220’s success isn’t just measured in the fact that it is still manufactured and sold today, but in its descendants. One of the finest handguns today is based on a Swiss design that, were it not for a creative corporate partnership, could have never left the neutral, land-locked country. The Sig P220 became available for sale worldwide only after the Swiss manufacturer partnered with a German company. The P220 went on to commercial success and ado... more »

*Warfare History Network* *Security, * [image: Wikimedia Commons] The heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis meta tragic fate during the last days of World War II. There was tight security and feverish activity on the dock at the Hunters Point Navy Shipyard in San Francisco Bay around 3 am on Monday, July 16, 1945.

Seneca On Learning from the Enemy

Anoop Verma at The Verma Report - 17 hours ago
Today I found an interesting thought in Seneca’s letter to his friend Lucilius. While advising Lucilius to read wisely, Seneca says that there is nothing wrong in venturing into the enemy camp to pick up the good thoughts that they may possess. He was a Stoic, but he was not averse to examining the competing philosophy of the Epicureans to find thoughts which corresponded with his own thinking. Here’s an excerpt from Seneca’s Letter II to Lucilius (*Seneca: Letters from a Stoic*; Selected and Translated by Robin Campbell; Page 34): After running over a lot of different thoughts, pi... more »

Was 'Question Time' biased against Diane Abbott?

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 17 hours ago
Was this week's edition of *Question Time *(which, unusually, I watched - and, even more unusually, very much enjoyed), biased against Diane Abbott? Senior Corbynistas around the Labour leadership are claiming so, and an aide to far-left Labour MP Chris Williamson, Jyoti Wilkinson, wrote the following (which is receiving wide coverage): *New presenter Fiona Bruce came out to address the audience. Hailed for her performance from the week before by fans, and after happily approving of the sycophantic praise that she was being adorned with from some quarters, Bruce proceeded to warm... more »

*New Role for the US Space Force* Taking a technological leap forward, President Trump will announce a new missile defense program, which will be managed by the newly minted US Space Force. (more here). Any expansion of the scope and cost of missile defenses would compete with other defense priorities, including the billions of extra dollars the Trump administration has committed to spending on a new generation of nuclear weapons. An expansion also would have important implications for American diplomacy, given long-standing Russian hostility to even the most rudimentary U.S. mis... more »

Tesla's final quarter, China's shopping spree

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 20 hours ago
Last week, Donald Trump figured out that China was far more honorable than Pelosi and Schumer, the top Democrats. It's easier to deal with them, you may trust them. This is a sad testimony about the contemporary leftists in the West. I must confirm that these people are harder to interact with than those that have been considered textbook examples of the evil left-wing ideologies. I have always considered communists to be foes and I still think that they're dangerous for the evolution of my homeland. But e.g. on Twitter, I found their bosses much easier to communicate with than with... more »
