Usrael Kurd Oil Deals and Tanker Attacks
*Syrian Kurd Oil Deals and Tanker Attacks* *Multiple media outlets were claiming that the US led coalition launched an airstrike at oil tankers while the Kurdish meida reported they participated in targeting the tankers with machine gun fire and anti tank missiles- mentioned below. The online dis-info crowd claimed this was just Turkish propaganda- It seemed to me there was a little more to the reports then those advancing limited hangout claims. **(Canthama- Or as I call him Disinfothama.)* *Oilprice.com is reporting the two disparate sources as reporting somewhat the same news.*... more »
House Democrats Pass Dreamer Protection Bill, But...
*Gottheimer visits Lodi-- but not for a town hall* Tuesday evening the House passed Lucille Roybal-Allard's bill to protect Dreamers-- the Dream and Promise Act of 2019 (HR 6)-- 237-187. Every single Democrat-- even hardcore anti-immigrant Blue Dogs-- voted for the bill, along with 7 Republicans, most of whom are in swing districts and vulnerable to defeat in 2020. The bill, according to *Politico*, is the House Democratic majority's answer to Señor Trumpanzee’s hard-line immigration agenda.

Hate the State? You’re a Nazi Bad Actor
[image: undefined] It is impossible to define “white nationalism.” It is also impossible to define “hate speech,” that is unless you’re a Democrat senator or a CNN talking head. One person’s hate speech is another person’s right to practice the First Amendment. I am free to say whatever ridiculous thing crosses my mind, according to the Bill of Rights. It’s up to you, the listener or reader, to decide if I’m a racist or sexist idiot. It’s not up to Congress, members of which swore to uphold rights enumerated in that document. It’s up to you, the individual. If you are offended—an... more »

The Trade War Is Justified
*Ying Ma* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Beijing wasn't going to liberalize, and Washington needed to push back against unfair practices. The raging U.S.-China trade war has inspired much commentary on America’s China policy. The conventional narrative among the foreign-policy establishment is that the United States has engaged with China because for too long, Washington has mistakenly believed that trade would weaken the Chinese Communist government and bring greater political freedoms to China. Increasingly, one could walk away from such discussions not knowing that two dec... more »
Lift the Arms Embargo on Cyprus
*Doug Bandow* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] Eliminating the arms embargo would redress a great imbalance in U.S. policy. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is facing increasing voter resistance to his dictatorial plans. Fears are increasing that he might be planning military action to inflame nationalist support. Yet Ankara continues to purchase American weapons even as Washington has embargoed sales to the Republic of Cyprus (ROC), the most obvious target of Erdogan’s ill attention. Like many European lands, Cyprus has a long and tortured history. Taken over by the ... more »
The Syrian Civil War is Changing the Turkish-Israeli Relationship
*Burcu Ozcelik* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] This is an opportunity for Israel and Turkey to recognize a new alignment of interests. As the brutal eight-year Syrian Civil War winds down, uncertainty over what the future holds for the country is prompting new alliances while testing established ties. Both Israel and Turkey border Syria and have a strategic interest in the postwar settlement that emerges there. While there has been no shortage of disagreements between Israel and Turkey over the past decade, both share a desire to see stability across their Syrian border... more »
India Rising? Maybe Not.
*Derek M. Scissors* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] If the prime minister does not act decisively now, then India will fail to prosper. There has been a spate of India headlines this month. Prime Minister Narendra Modi wins big in the recent elections, but gross domestic product growth falls to 5.8 percent and unemployment spikes*. *The first event may prove economically harmful, the second does not especially matter and the third is misleading.

Ransomware Strikes: The City Government of Baltimore Has Been Hacked
*Richard Forno* *Security, * What you can do to protect yourself. The people of Baltimore are beginning their fifth week under an electronic siege that has prevented residents from obtaining building permits and business licenses – and even buying or selling homes.

"The Greatest Threat to The Economy"
*"The Greatest Threat to The Economy"* by Brian Maher "Official Washington assures us the United States economy goes along at a very pleasant and tuneful hum. First-quarter GDP trounced all estimates, for example. And unemployment plumbs 50-year depths. The stock market — though somewhat hobbled of late — remains plausibly within sight of its records. Thus we wonder: Why has the Treasury secretary just convened a secret war council to prepare for the next crisis? Why the cloak, why the dagger... why the secrecy? What dark storm cloud do they glimpse on the horizon? Possible answer... more »

Two additional claims may have bitten the dust!
*THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 2019Liberal professors and politicians in retreat and decline:* How many of the pleasingly gloomy things you hear can you really believe? As we noted last week, you're constantly told that women get paid 80 percent as much as men "for doing the same work." Everyone knows that claim isn't true, but everyone likes to repeat it. As we've been noting this week, if you let the professors tell it, schools which seem demographically sublime are actually "segregated." This hypothetical school would be one example: *Student enrollment, Public School X* White kids: 45% B... more »
