Public Called Upon to Descend on California Capital to Stand for Health Freedom and Oppose Removal of Medical Exemptions for Mandatory Vaccines
The California Senate Health Committee hearing for SB 276 in Sacramento on Wednesday, April 24th at 1:30 pm in the John L. Burton Hearing Room 4203. We need your action this week to stop SB 276 sponsored by Senator Richard Pan which interferes with and restricts the medical exemption to mandatory vaccinations in California. It is inappropriate for The California Department of Public Health (CDPH), a state agency of unelected bureaucrats, to be given legal authority to hijack the private patient physician relationship by being placed in the position to reject doctor issued medical v... more »

No more Mr Nice Guy
Gavin 'BBC impartiality' Esler As regular readers will know, I've spent years on various blogs chronicling in often tedious detail and, if I may so, proving beyond doubt the chronic left-liberal, pro-EU bias of one particular BBC News Channel programme that barely anyone in the UK actually watches - namely *Dateline London*. For most of those years the programme was hosted by Gavin Esler, whose 'nice' TV persona never entirely disguised the fact that he was a left-liberal, pro-EU presenter heading a left-liberal, pro-EU-biased programme and skewing it towards his own point of view... more »
"We Have To..."
“We can win. We can lose. We can fall down. We can get up and do it over again, better. We can go for it as if we have nothing to lose, knowing we have everything to lose. We can tear up a dance floor and put it all back together again. We can talk loud in public. We can be fierce. We can be small. We can be mighty. We can be too much. We can be just enough, just in time. We can. We have to." - Bill T. Jones
"Idiots, Zealots, Elitists and Patriots of Oligarchical Collectivism"
*"Idiots, Zealots, Elitists and Patriots of Oligarchical Collectivism"* by Ethan Indigo Smith "Characterized by how they respond to information, modern societies are made up of four archetypes of people- idiots, zealots, elitists and patriots. Idiots refuse information, zealots refute information, elitists misuse information and patriots seek and distribute information. These archetypes are true of patriarchal societies around the world, and has probably been the case since Homo habilis was a boy. While consistent across cultures, these archetypes have been subdivided in many ways,... more »
A Joint U.S. - Japanese Effort To Build The Next Generation Fighter Jet?
Airsoc *Japan News/The Yomiuri Shimbun:* *U.S. offers Japan secret info for development of F-2’s successor jet* The United States has proposed disclosing some of the top-secret details of its state-of-the-art F-35 stealth fighter jet to Japan to encourage joint development of an aircraft that will succeed the Air Self-Defense Force’s F-2 fighter, The Yomiuri Shimbun has learned. The ASDF also has some F-35s. The U.S. plan, which was proposed to the Defense Ministry, would open the door to a jointly developed successor jet based on the F-35 and other fighters, which would be one of... more »
British Army Is Planning to Upgrade Just 148 of Its 227 Challenger 2 Tanks
*David Axe* *Security, * A problem? The British Army is planning to upgrade just 148 of its 227 Challenger 2 tanks, *according to **The Times*. The proposed cut to the armored force -- the British Army’s second major reduction in tanks since 2010 -- would make the U.K. ground-combat branch the 56th biggest tank-operator,* The Times* estimated. Cutting tanks could jeopardize London’s plan to revamp its armed forces for high-tech combat with a major world power such as Russia. As recently as 2010 the British Army possessed 316 of the 408 Challenger 2 tanks it originally acquired... more »
The Secret Ex-Nazi Army That Guarded West Germany
*War Is Boring* *Security, Europe* Hitler’s veterans planned to stop a Soviet invasion. If the Soviets had invaded West Germany in the early days of the Cold War, they would have found more than a hodgepodge of NATO troops waiting for them. They would also have confronted a secret army of Hitler’s former soldiers, waiting to settle scores with the Communists. Considering the brutal, take-no-prisoners warfare on the Eastern Front in World War II, former German SS troopers fighting vengeful Red Army troops—*again*—would have been the height of savagery.

Take That, Hitler: How France Scored Its Very First Military Victory on Nazi Germany
*Daniel L. Davis* *Security, Europe* The victory at Toulon was the first major victory by French troops in what would eventually be the complete liberation of their homeland. It is not a stretch to say June 1940 was the darkest month in the history of the French Republic. As late as early May, France had been considered the undisputed military power of the European continent (even by the German military). But barely six weeks later, her armies had been gutted by the Nazis, her British allies driven off the continent at Dunkirk, and Paris handed over to Hitler. Four long and bi... more »

John Neffinger Offers 7 Questions You Might Want To Take With You To The Next Republican Congress Member's Town Hall You Attend

Obstruction of Justice in the Mueller Report: A Heat Map
The Mueller report describes numerous instances in which President Trump may have obstructed justice. A few days ago, I threw together a quick spreadsheet on Twitter to assess how Special Counsel Robert Mueller seemed to assess the evidence. Unexpectedly, that spreadsheet got a fair amount of attention—so I thought I would delve back into the evidence to provide a revised visualization with a little more nuance, which will hopefully be helpful to people attempting to parse a legally and factually dense document. The key question is how Robert Mueller and his team assessed the thre... more »
U.S. Air Force Gets Ready For The F-15X Super Eagle
The advanced F-15X. Boeing photo. *Bryan Preston, OJ Media:* *Keeping the Air Force Ready with the F-15X Super Eagle* At Pearl Harbor, Japanese attackers struck hard and fast to begin World War II. Their speed caught the Americans by surprise, and we lost many -- far too many -- men, ships and planes. Before we could win the war in the Pacific, we had to fight hard just to get back to where we had been before the attack. But another tragedy came hours later, when another Japanese force targeted Clark Field in the Philippines. Despite the warning that the U.S. was under attack, pl... more »
