Better Off Today Than You Were When Trump Slithered Into The Oval Office?
2020 will be a referendum on Trump, just as 2018 was. We could wind up with the most transformative president since FDR or we could wind up with just another in a long line of utterly mediocre presidents. I think any of the credible Democratic contenders would beat Trump, although Biden is the most iffy, possibly the perfect foil for Trump's brand of vile political engagement. Republicans will try downplaying Trump's personal characteristics, which most Americans find utterly abhorrent, and do their best to persuade voters that: 1- the economy is great; and 2- Trump and the GOP ... more »

Check Out the FN-FAL Rifle (NATO Loved This Gun)
*Warfare History Network* *Security, * Some history. *The FAL rifle is not a perfect infantry weapon, but it is by far the most successful of the Cold War-era 7.62mm NATO military rifles. Admittedly, it is heavy and long, making it cumbersome in close quarters. But it is a reliable rifle, and its powerful cartridge can penetrate tree trunks, brick walls, and most modern body armor at close ranges. Given its widespread use on every continent, the FAL will undoubtedly be seen in action for decades to come.* British Corporal Steven Newland crept through the inky darkness toward an... more »

*Warfare History Network* *Security, * And he paid the price for it. After assuming dictatorial powers in Italy, Benito Mussolini remained a popular figure with the Italian people – for a time.

12 Years Ago, Israel's Air Force Crushed This Nation's Nuclear Weapons Program
*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, * Syria was not happy. *Instead of a massive bombardment, the air force used eight aircraft for the mission. When the operation was over, Israel kept the boasting to a minimum and the Assad regime was happy to spin the ordeal as a successful defense of the homeland for domestic propaganda.* It was late on a Wednesday night in Israel when the director of the Mossad placed an urgent telephone call to then–Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in early March 2007. The Assad regime, the Mossad chief reported, was building a nuclear reactor in the middle of the ... more »
Russia's 'Big Guns': Now Firing Plastic Bullets?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Well, sort of. *While the use of plastic driving bands may be old hat to NATO militaries, it’s easy to see why the Russian military is getting excited over them.* Recently Russian concern SPA Pribor announced it had developed plastic based ammunition for light artillery. While this may appear to be impressive and innovative at first, the trick is in the wording. Only a small portion of the ammunition is plastic. *(This first appeared last month.)* The majority of Pribor’s new 30mm ammunition is still made of metal. The case is still fully metal, unli... more »

"One of the prevailing myths about Fascism is that it arose out of some fundamental opposition to Communism. In fact this was never true; Fascism was a Marxist heresy from the day Mussolini seized it, differing from Marxism not mainly in its aims but in the means by which they were to be achieved." #QotD
*"Mussolini was a revolutionary Socialist organiser ... responding to one of the early failures of Marxism. In Marxian 'scientific socialism,' universal revolution was a process that would follow mechanically from the capitalist immiseration of the proletariat. But by the second decade of the new century it was becoming clear that most national proletariats were unwilling [and still aren't] to play their appointed role in the theory, tending instead to be among the most patriotic and nationalist elements of their societies.

Premature ejaculation
It’s quite likely that the media has attributed the death of a pregnant Palestinian woman and a baby to ‘Israel’ before properly ascertaining the facts. The IDF said it was caused by one of the Palestinians’ own missiles that fell short. This is not a first. Remember the case of the baby “who only knew how to smile?” Jon Donnison's overwrought report still up there on the BBC website. It was a tragic case - but not likely to have been caused by Israel, though the BBC disputes this. The BBC is quite happy to regurgitate information from Palestinian sources unquestioningly.

She also had never seen their new home. I believe they had moved there from Huntington Beach, California in 2015. Due to a divorce, the brothers and sisters had not grown up in the same ... more »
President Trump and religious freedom—know your rights
Trump has done more for religious freedom in the U.S. than many recent presidents, but the media neglect to do their homework and some recent reporting shows the ignorance of journalists raised and educated in the late 20th-21st centuries. They hate him so therefore never dig into the laws and regulations. President Trump's executive order on religious liberty in May 2017 noted, "Federal law protects the freedom of Americans and their organizations to exercise religion." No new laws, no convoluted regulations. Simply implement the laws we had. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/a... more »
