Who Is Beto? And Why Is He Running For President?
One of my friends called the other day and reminded me that I had first met Barack Obama when he was a state senator, soon after I had discovered that he wasn't an Israeli Irishman. He was running for the U.S. Senate and conventional wisdom said he had no chance at all. He was in 4th place in an 8 person race. Some friends and I put on a fundraiser for him here in L.A. where his presentation stunned everyone in the room. I recall that it cost $75 to get in. After he was done speaking, there was not a single flat surface in the house that wasn't taken by someone writing another che...more »

the middle of the road is not the Middle Way
1) * Quietly* flows the dawn. The River of Life flowing from the center of Divine Being is the quiet flowing of wisdom that is imparted from the mind of God to the mind of man. The faculties of the senses, the points within the brain where God anchors the ideations of his mind--these are hallowed as vessels of the sacred fire. Fire flows as water. Fire is the very essence of God. But I speak of spiritual fire, and thus the gentle murmurings of the rivers of the world point the outer consciousness to the archetypal pattern of a great Source, a great fount of Life from whence al... more »

Why Don't People Write About the Tories?
There is a weird discrepancy in the politics literature. Go into a good university library and you will find many more books about the Labour Party than you would the Conservatives. Check out academic specialists in politics, and there are more writing about Labour than the Tories. Go to Amazon and see the number of items available - 4,000 for the Conservatives but 7,000 for Labour, And why is there a burgeoning mini-industry of books published about Jeremy Corbyn, including a couple of biographies, but nothing as yet about Theresa May? Why this difference? Why are academia and wri... more »

*In this guest post, Richard Ebeling asks why we would want the motivation for New Zealand's worst mass murder to disappear down a memory hole policed by an inexpert minor bureaucrat.* Imagine that in 1946 the general-secretary of the United Nations had submitted a resolution to the General Assembly stating that Nazi crimes were so horrendous and despicable that the countries of the world needed to impose a blanket censorship on any public reference to or discussion of Hitler or his henchmen. Only the names of victims were to be mentioned or discussed. And the U.N. member countr...more »

Identity theft
The crime of identity theft happens more often to wealthier, white, females. https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/vit16_sum.pdf “Based on the 2016 survey, more females (13.5 million) experienced identity theft than males (12.5 million).

The gender gap is a mommy gap

So many women cut their hours, at least for a period of time, to enjoy their children rather than put them in day care or send them off to grandma's. That of course, means their salaries don't keep up. I see my doctor tomorrow--she's onl... more »

When we think of racial bias we usually think about differences when being stopped by the police or being watched more closely in a small deli, but there is another facet of it, an indirect bias by people who otherwise behave in ways that seem diverse and tolerant. In a recent preprint paper, the authors concluded that white liberal politicians and individuals engage in "competence downshift" when talking to minorities while conservatives don't. Liberals downplay their own verbal competence and use more emotional language. It's like mansplaining, except for people of color. read more

Secret War: America and Nazi Germany Were At War Longer Than People Think
*Warfare History Network* *Security, * Between September 1939 and December 1941, the United States moved from neutral to active belligerent in an undeclared naval war against Nazi Germany. *America’s participation in an undeclared naval war in the Atlantic reaped enormous benefits toward its total war effort and helped carry Britain through its toughest two years. Due to secrecy, the importance of the undeclared war was not realized by the American people at the time, but its contribution to Allied victory was as important as any of the “real” war.* Between September 1939 and De... more »
Bang: The Army's Crazy New Assault Rifle Could Tear Through Body Armor
*Task and Purpose* *Security, * The Army claims its new assault rifle will unleash a hailstorm of specially-designed shells with as much chamber pressure as a battle tank to tear through even the most advanced body armor — and if all goes according to plan, the soldiers will get them to play with sooner than they thought. *“We’re not going to replace all 80,000 SAWs right away — but the intent is to get this AR variant out to infantry squads as soon as possible.”* The Army claims its new assault rifle will unleash a hailstorm of specially-designed shells with as much chamber pres...more »
Trump Has Won the Political Battle, but Not the War
*Dov S. Zakheim* *Domestic Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] That Robert Mueller did not “exonerate” Donald Trump, nor indict his family members, leaves the president and his associates exceedingly vulnerable. Donald Trump has won big politically, but he may lose where it counts as much if not more—in the criminal justice system. For most Americans, the Mueller saga is now over. Trump was not involved in any collusion with the Russians; no indictments have been handed down. It is true that the Mueller report, even as summarized by Attorney General William Barr, did not exoner... more »

One of the many challenges for the Russians to overcome is the shortage of trained and experienced personnel to build such a complex aircraft. *(This first appeared last year.)* "The enterprise is working on the design and organization of the production of a prospective long-range aviation complex," Nikolai Savitskih, the director general of the Kazan Avi...more »

The Hollow Men
Anthony Zurcher? T.S. Eliot's *The Hollow Men* ends with his most famous lines of poetry: "This is the way the world ends/Not with a bang but a whimper." The Hollow Men of Lord Hall's mainstream media must have been thinking something similar when the news of the Mueller report's findings came through last night. The* New York Times *at least didn't try to sugar the pill for its readers this morning: So is this going to provoke some urgent soul-searching on the mainstream media's part? DB provided a very helpful screengrab of some of the* Spectator *headlines for pieces wr... more »
