Protestors Return To The Streets In Algeria
*Reuters*:* Hundreds of thousands back on Algeria's streets, demanding radical reform* ALGIERS (Reuters) - Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators returned to Algeria’s streets on Friday to press demands for sweeping democratic change well beyond former President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s resignation, chanting “we do what we want”, witnesses said. The march was peaceful, like most of the demonstrations in the country over the last two months. But an 18-year old who was injured during last week’s protest in Algiers, when clashes broke out, died on Friday of injuries to the head, Enna... more »

Democrats Intent On Destroying Themselves over the Official Mueller Probe Report
The longer the Democrats obsess over the Mueller report and the possibility of obstruction, the bigger hole they dig for themselves. The reason is simple. The average American -- what Groucho Marx used to call the Barber in Peru (Indiana) -- not the army of Beltway lawyers, will scratch his/her head about why someone should be charged with obstructing justice for a crime he did not commit and did not even occur (i. e. collusion with Russia). Yes, they understand there are legal niceties, but the bottom line remains. And those same middle American "Peruvians" realize -- how could t... more »
Nothing has changed since the Mueller report!
*FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 2019In our view, the two basic questions:* In our view, nothing has changed in the wake of the Mueller report. We still have two separate tribes telling two separate stories. Each tribe is talking to itself. This is the way cable news and the Internet currently work. At this particular point in time, tribal division is big business as well as an ingrained trait. Speaking from within the tribe which votes for Democrats, we'd say there are only two current questions: Is Donald J. Trump mentally ill? Also, how can we talk to The Others? Again and again, liberal ... more »

Gallup: Church Membership Down 20 Percent in 20 Years

Well, for posterity's sake on this fine, sunny Good Friday, I've posted a transcript below of the Sir David Attenborough-presented campaigning documentary *Climate Change - The Facts *as I suspect it will be of interest to at least some of you and that you might want to peruse it (or even use it) at your leisure.

Transcript: 'Climate Change - The Facts', BBC One, 18 Apr 2019
*David Attenborough*: Right now, we are facing our greatest threat in thousands of years. Climate change. - For a long time, climate change was something that scientists were predicting that would happen in the future. But that's no longer the case. - What we're doing right now is we're so rapidly changing the climate, for the first time in the world's history, people can see the impact of climate change. - Greater storms, greater floods, greater heat waves, extreme sea level rises. All of this is happening far faster than many of us thought possible. Scientists across the glob... more »
Doofus Of The Day #1,040
Today's winner is from Modesto, California. Authorities say a man has suffered third-degree burns over half of his body while trying to melt a plastic jug full of gasoline in a Northern California parking lot ... [he] was using a lighter to melt the mouth of a gallon water jug into the shape of funnel to make it easier to pour the fuel into his car. Instead, the jug exploded in flames. The man and a nearby car also caught fire. . . . He was airlifted to a hospital. There's more at the link. Sounds like a Darwin Award looking for a home, right there . . . Peter
ON IMPEACHMENT, WHY DO DEMOCRATS THINK TRUMP IS CLINTON?
I'm not prepared to say that impeachment is absolutely necessary for the health and well-being of the Republic -- a resounding defeat of Donald Trump and the GOP at the polls in 2020, followed by multiple indictments of Trump (and his associates and relatives) in multiple venues, would have a similar effect. Impeachment would certainly fail in its main goal -- to remove Trump from office -- because no Republican in Congress would vote against the president, regardless of the evidence. Nevertheless, I question the standard argument against impeachment, summarized by Greg Sargent as: ... more »

Remarkable: Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Denounces Arrest of Julian Assange
Mister Dark Side of the Moon Roger Waters rants at the UK as “lackeys of the American empire” – while comfortably numb in Manhattan – and dumps on Trump. No surprises there. Rogers does grasp the current TEGWAR state of western democracies (TEGWAR = The Exciting Game Without Any Rules, courtesy the 1973 movie “Bang The Drum Slowly”). He errs in believing – in the face of a boatload of evidence to the contrary – that POTUS Trump is a member of the traditional One World establishment. A fairly wacko interview, this. Waters’ thinking shows the effects of many years … Continue reading →

On Lefties for Farage
For one time only, George Galloway tells us he's voting for Nigel Farage's Brexit Party. Pushing the oft-heard Brexiteer talking points, we're told parliament has spent the last three years trying to thwart the result of the 2016 referendum. So "we" need to send a message to the "Westminster elite". A rocket up their backsides, if you will, a reminder the angry leave army are not about to have their Brexit taken away from them. But to countenance voting for, urging a vote for, and campaigning for the *Brexit Party*, isn't that a step too far? Elaborating his position further, Gallo... more »

The Special Counsel’s Constitutional Analysis
(Photo: Matthew Kahn) Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report spans more than 400 pages. In a 12-page section near the end of the thick volume, Mueller tackles a critical question: Can the federal obstruction of justice statute apply to the president? The first element of the report’s analysis focuses on the so-called clear statement rule. In 1995, the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) suggested that the federal bribery statute can be applied to the president, even though there is not a “clear statement” in the statute that the president is subject to the law. Mueller relies on this o... more »

Could Reparations Help Close the American Racial Divide?
*Amitai Etzioni* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The racial divide continues to plague America. It is well worth spending a large amount of funds—if it can finally be healed.

It did nothing to change my feelings about the Holocaust or Germany. The same problem is faced by those who have been calling in the recent days for reparations for African American descendants of slaves. There is not a sum large enough to compensate these... more »

*James Holmes* *Security, * Here it is. *That’s a rough analogy to today. Fortress China is festooned with airfields and mobile antiship weaponry able to strike hundreds of miles out to sea. Yes, the U.S. Navy remains stronger than the PLA Navy in open-sea battle. A fleet-on-fleet engagement isolated from shore-based reinforcements would probably go America’s way. But that hypothetical result may not make much difference since the two navies are more likely to join battle in confined Asian waters than on the open ocean.* Ah, yes, the “carrier-killer.” China is forever *touting*... more »
We Know Why China Wants Aircraft Carriers
*Bryan McGrath, Mackenzie Eaglen* *Security, * Simple. *Whether in a direct or support role, carriers have taken part in almost every major military operation the United States has undertaken since the Second World War. They also serve as first-rate diplomatic tools to either heighten or ease political pressure. When regional tensions increase, a carrier, or sometimes two, is sent to patrol off their coast. And when an election takes place in a nascent democracy or country central to U.S. interests, a strike group typically is sailing offshore.* *(This first appeared in 2015.)*... more »
Donald Trump Did Not Set Out to Obstruct Justice
*Daniel McCarthy* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Trump was unwise to fire Comey when he did. But that action, and his subsequent champing at the bit to be rid of the investigation, were expressions of agony and impatience, not Machiavellian plotting. Few Democrats will tell you that the Whitewater investigation into Bill Clinton, which eventually expanded to cover the Monica Lewinsky affair and more, was worth the time and money spent on it. Likewise, few Republicans have an appreciative word to say about the Iran-Contra investigation. This is despite the fact that Bill C... more »
No Collusion Is Not Good Enough
*Dov S. Zakheim* *Donald Trump, United States* Mueller’s report confirmed that this president has demeaned the office he holds. And in so doing he has demeaned the United States. The president is trumpeting to his supporters and anyone else who will listen that, as he insisted all along, the Mueller report found NO COLLUSION (his all caps, not mine) with Russia. In addition, he is asserting, on the shaky basis of what actually is considerable ambiguity in the report, that there was “no obstruction” either. In fact, the report made it clear that the president certainly came near t... more »
