Maryland’s End-of-Life Bill Is About One Thing: Killing
PA Pundits - International at Maryland’s End-of-Life Bill Is About One Thing: Killing – PA Pundits – International - 44 minutes ago
Ryan T. Anderson ~ It’s called the End-of-Life Option Act. That sounds appealing — until you realize that one of the options on offer is killing. Patients and doctors should have a full array of dignified end-of-life options. But there’s a reason, for two and a half millennia, doctors have taken the Hippocratic oath: […]

SNC-Lavalin: The Tip Of An Enormous “Deep State” Iceberg.
*Written By Robin Mathews . March 03/2019* SNC-Lavalin, the large Canadian engineering firm at the center of the present Liberal government crisis engendered by the treatment of former Attorney General/Minister of Justice and Minister of Veterans Affairs, *Jody Wilson-Raybould*, is merely the tip of an enormous iceberg. The gyrations of SNC-Lavalin to have a law passed (obscurely in a Liberal “ *Omnibus*” Bill in 2018) that permits it (and giant firms like it) to write “deferred prosecution agreements” (in what is called a “remediation regime”) may be seen as nothing more than ... more »

Do You Misinterpret Señor Trumpanzee?
That's the video. There's also an official White House transcript. What's to misinterpret? A Trump supporter who's a relative of a friend, claims he speaks in code and only The True Believers understand the code. Maybe it was that. Or maybe that there is a subtle white mustache on some of the videos (like the one above, as a matter of fact; look closely), proof that he had chopped up and snorted some Adderall before he marched out to meet the press. That would also help account for some of his more bizarre and incoherent behavior all through the Hanoi press conference. But what... more »

The U.S. Military's Next Super Weapon: Tactical Tunnels
*Michael Peck* *Security, * What? The U.S. military hates tunnels. The Japanese used them on Iwo Jima to ambush American soldiers. So did the Viet Cong, forcing American “Tunnel Rats” to ferret them out. North Korea and Iran use them today to protect their nuclear weapons programs, while *ISIS tunnels* have been a deadly thorn in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Even Israel has discovered Hezbollah and Hamas tunnels penetrating beneath its borders. But in the spirit of “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em,” the U.S. military wants to build its own tunnels on the battlefield. The Defe... more »
Trump-Kim Summit: The Art of Walking Away
*Thomas Cynkin* *North Korea, East Asia* Trump correctly followed the maxim that a bad deal is worse than no deal. Defying the expectations of his political detractors, President Donald Trump walked away from a bad deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Vietnam. The temptation must have been great, given the opportunity to distract from the president’s domestic troubles, the sheer amount of political capital he has invested in achieving a breakthrough with North Korea, and his unabashed interest in receiving a Nobel Peace Prize and sealing his place in history. But he cor... more »
4 Ways Trump Can Fix America's Immigration Problem
*James Jay Carafano* *Immigration, United States* Amnesty is not the right answer for illegal immigration. Few issues vex Washington lawmakers more than border security and immigration, so don’t blame President Donald Trump. The debate over how to fix America’s broken borders and flawed immigration system raged for two decades before he got the key to the Oval Office. Trump just threw napalm on a forest fire. This all can be fixed. Despite the fact that he is the center of the storm, Trump may be the best one to fix it—but only if he adopts a comprehensive agenda that focuses on... more »

How the Appropriations Bill Can Strengthen ‘Remain in Mexico’
While Congress and cable news chatter emergency powers and President Trump’s wall, there’s a far more important immigration fight under way on the southwest border. At a time when judicial deference to the executive on immigration law has nearly vanished, the country is one court ruling away from a disastrous immigration outcome. It was summarized this way by one Honduran caravan member, who traveled to the border because: “she had heard … that bringing her daughter would guarantee them admission into the United States.” She got it right—with one caveat. To avoid this outcome, the... more »
Lamar Alexander (R-TN) Could Pass The Resolution Of Disapprove-- Unless Kyrsten Sinema Moves To Save Trump

"Why Is There So Much Pain and Suffering?"
"Why Is There So Much Pain and Suffering?" By Fred Pauser "Mother Teresa said, “Suffering is a gift of God.” Well, it may be true that suffering tends to build character, but it also sometimes builds bitterness and criminals. In any case, we would naturally prefer to do without it, especially the extreme forms of it. We can derive much toward answering the question from a basic knowledge of the evolution of life. Ernst Mayr succinctly summed up the process of natural selection: “Natural selection is a two-step process: (1) variations produced, and (2) variations sorted, with the e... more »

A Stalinist By Any Other Name.......
If you haven't noticed, there are many striking similarities between today’s social justice warrior and yesterday’s totalitarians.

There is no original thought whatsoever and they actually resort to inventing words to make themselves sound smartaculous. But if you listen, they are neither informed nor original. Everyone stays within the narrow confines of their rhetoric. They stick to the talking points which is why it is hard to argue or reason with them. ... more »

A correspondent with military intel credentials writes: “[Eric] Hoffer’s observation that people only revolt when things are getting better seems applicable to DPRK.
