Climate Change Alarmism and the Politicization of Science are Corrupting our Government and Threatens our Democratic Constitutional Republic

Sunday morning music
This past week, I was doing some research for a forthcoming book. I was intrigued to come across a reference to the fabled Irish highwayman Willy Brennan, about whom the famous ballad "Brennan on the Moor" was written. The origins of the song are disputed: versions exist from the early to mid 1800's stemming from Ireland, Britain, Canada and the USA. To set the scene, here's a recording from the 1960's featuring The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem. If you find the Irish accents a bit impenetrable, the lyrics are here. Like many highwaymen and other "popular" criminals, fo... more »

Meet the Tommy Gun: A Machine Gun Truly Like No Other
*Warfare History Network* *Security, * This is why. In 1917, when America entered the First World War, the United States Army tasked Brigadier General John T. Thompson, Chief of the Small Arms Section of its Ordnance Department, with designing a short-range, rapid-firing, large capacity infantry trench weapon. The general turned the job over to his own firearms firm, the Auto-Ordnance Corporation (AOC).

Sunday Sermonette
I approach today with sadness. Another empty chair at the table as a friend passed. The strange thing was that I passed the police officer, stopped, investigating his death, and I didn't know that it was him. Jack was doing a good deed by shoveling snow at a church on Thursday for another person's funeral on Friday when he had a fatal heart attack. I drove over Saturday, finished the job for him and spread salt. The (other) funeral had been delayed. There are not that many people who live up in the high country on Arizona's Mogollon Rim.

*A Bold New Idea to Boost Wages* The challenges are well known: Working Americans are struggling to keep up with the increasing cost of living. Unemployment is low, but wages of most Americans have remained flat. More than three-quarters of Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck. Most can’t afford a $500 emergency. There’s a simple and bold solution that would cost about as much as the Trump tax cut. But instead of helping corporations and the rich, it would help millions of working and middle-class Americans by putting money directly in their pockets. I’m talking about ex... more »

Brexit: ODS, most Czechs oppose EU's efforts to humiliate U.K.
I want to say something about the Czech attitudes to Brexit. Well, for Czech political junkies, Brexit is quite a topic for discussions – for many reasons. First, Czechia is the EU's most Euroskeptic nation, beating even the U.K. itself, which is why it's very natural that the British stories are a template what could be faced by us. We could be solving the same challenges as the Britons soon. Brussels could try to blackmail us or hurt us in analogous ways. The messy Brexit experience could be a reason for us to vote "Stay", after all, and so on. Second, Czechs went through the Velv... more »

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 »

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.

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.

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 »
