Mueller: the breakdown and (hopefully) the payback
I'm sick of hearing about the Mueller report and its (non) findings. The whole affair was a nothingburger from start to finish, as many commentators have pointed out ad nauseam since this imbroglio kicked off three years ago. I daresay the President is getting no small satisfaction out of the discomfiture of his enemies in the mainstream media. For example, if I were in his shoes, I'd be laughing my ass off over this video collage: The report's findings of no collusion proved the mainstream media wrong. Its (carefully weaselly-worded) implication that it couldn't say whether... more »

Hawks may call for direct military intervention while doves seek punishing sanctions, but all agree that the elected governmen... more »

holding the rod against the spine of being; I AM the Guard I AM THAT I AM
* I AM* the emissary of the Most High. Where love is there is the union and communion of the flame; and in the communion of the flame is wholeness, and in wholeness is the One. In wholeness is the judgment of all that which refuses to be whole. I speak to you of the rebellious generation. Those who do not find themselves in the tabernacle of the Most High God, in the chamber of the heart of love, must have made at some point in time and space a conscious, willful rebellion against love, pure love that is Almighty God. What is love? *Love.* The letters thereof comprise anoth... more »

Sad Stealth: Was the Lockheed Martin F-117 Nighthawk Retired Too Soon?
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * Or was it too old to be a threat? With the U.S. Air Force considering the future makeup of its force structure, it is a good time to look at the evolution of stealth starting with the Lockheed Martin *F-117 Nighthawk*. That aircraft was retired in 2008, but would the F-117 still be useful today? The answer is that against most mid-range threats like Iran, absolutely. But against higher-end threats like Russia or China, not so much. Technology has advanced since engineers first dreamed up the F-117 “stealth fighter” concept. *(This first appeared se... more »
