Why It's A Complete Waste Of Money For Democrats To Advertise On Fox News
I started my university career studying history, a topic that fascinated me for my whole life. But maybe I'm wrong about Trump, who I'm absolutely certain in the very worst president-- if he even *is* a legitimate president-- in U.S. history. Yes, he's worse than Nixon or George W. Bush or Reagan and worse than Warren G. Harding, worse than Tyler, Pierce or William Henry Harrison, worse than Buchanan and worse than Andrew Johnson. Fox viewers disagree. A poll shows that 78% of the Republican Fox viewers say Trump is the best president ever-- not just better than Obama, better than...more »

The Forgotten Story of How the Allies Crushed Nazi Germany From the Sky
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Europe* [image: By Airwolfhound - commons file, CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=70277974] The strategic bombing campaign against Germany contributed to the final victory during the war in Europe. Behind the strategy that governed the American air war in Europe during World War II lay events and ideas that dated back to World War I and the 1920s. The first strategic bombing raid in 1915 deployed not airplanes but German Zeppelins, rigid airships that dumped ordnance on the east coast of Great Britain. Two years la... more »
Russian Fighter Showdown: Su-35 vs. MiG-35 (Who Wins?)
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * [image: Wikimedia Commons] They aren't fighting in the air, but for a big contract in Egypt. Egypt recently turned heads with its decision to purchase twenty advanced Su-35S fighter jets from Russia. This adds yet another unique airframe to Egypt’s inventory, which currently fields Rafales, two generations of F-16s, MiG-29s modernized to near MiG-35 standard, and two generations of Mirages. What could the Su-35S add onto this lineup? What could the political repercussions of the buy be? Given the capabilities of the other aircraft in their fleet, the E... more »

The “Green New Dealers” Have Lost All Perspective

the Tower of Spring
1. Urusvati knows the Tower of Chun (Spring) and remembers how the exterior of the Tower resembles a natural cliff. It is not difficult to prevent access to this Tower. A small landslide can conceal the structure from those below. A small dam can change a mountain stream into a lake, and in time of dire need the entire district can be immediately transformed. People may smile, thinking that organized expeditions could sooner or later penetrate into all the passes. But even before the physical transformation of the area the power of thought would already have diverted the carav... more »

Today, we ask a subtly different question: What is it that he has written? What allegations has he made? And why has he decided not ... more »

Looks Can Be Deceiving: This "Smart Gun" Is a Really Bad Idea
*War Is Boring* *Security, * [image: SmartSystem] High-tech handgun actually makes shooters less safe. America loves guns. There are an estimated 300,000,000 firearms in the United States, roughly one for each citizen. Sales are brisk. In 2013 gun vendors did 21,093,273 background checks for firearms sales. Most Americans use guns for personal defense and recreation. Still, guns are designed to kill—so safety and security are big problems.

Memo to Senate: Just Say No
A couple of weeks ago, I gave a talk at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. I said that, although I am not a fan of President Trump, I have to give him credit for making good appointments to the Fed. I was thinking about people like Jay Powell, Rich Clarida, and Randy Quarles. Then today the president nominates Stephen Moore to be a Fed governor. Steve is an amiable guy, but he does not have the intellectual gravitas for this important job. If you doubt it, read his latest book *Trumponomics* (or my review of it). It is time for Senators to do their job. Mr. Moore should not be conf... more »
