Maximum Pressure: Two Words That Could Start a War with Iran
*Daniel L. Davis* *Security, * Can we change course? President Trump has said he does not want war with Iran, but that his main objective is to prevent Tehran from getting a nuclear weapon.

True Budget Hawks are Foreign Policy Doves
[image: undefined] During my presidential campaigns, well-meaning supporters would sometimes suggest I stop emphasizing opposition to overseas intervention and focus on fiscal issues. I disregarded the advice, not only because adopting a noninterventionist foreign policy is crucial to restoring constitutional government but because it is impossible to be both a budget hawk and a war hawk.

Can Congress Investigate Whether the President Has Conflicts of Interest, is Compromised by Russia, or Has Violated the Law?
The answer to the question in my title is obvious, isn't it?: Of course Congress can do so. According to Donald Trump and his (personal) attorneys, however, the correct answer is “no.” And in a series of pending cases involving challenges to congressional efforts to obtain the President’s financial and tax records, they’re urging the courts to hold that Congress’s oversight and regulatory authorities simply don't extend to investigating the wrongdoing, foreign influence over, and possible conflicts of interest of, the President of the United States. It’s hard to exaggerate just... more »

My new fantasy novel, "Taghri's Prize", is now available in e-book format on Amazon. A printed version will follow as soon as the cover is ready. The blurb reads: Taghri has left the Sultan's army to seek his fortune - and he seizes opportunity when it knocks.

Secret Is Out: An F-35 Was Killed in a Simulated Battle Two Years Ago

The Hong Kong Dilemma
Three consecutive days of rallies, marches and clashes represent another escalation of the unrest. Many of the protesters carried American flags. Many of the protesters are said to be demanding a Bill of Rights, modeled on the American Bill of Rights, which is even more freedom than the people of Hong Kong enjoyed under British Crown rule. And that's really not what the Central Communist Party (CCP) on Mainland China wants. As a result, some in the PRC/Worker's Paradise blame the United States for the protests and for putting these notions of fair laws and freedom into their heads. ... more »

Facebook's Libra Is Already Ahead Of Ethereum, Litecoin, And Ripple's XRP--But Not Bitcoin
*[image: bitcoin, bitcoin price, ethereum, ethereum price, Litecoin, Ripple, XRP, Facebook, Libra, image]* This may be huge. The reason i am saying this is in the fine print.

How Farming Saved My Body Image
Each and every individual needs to be properly rooted to the land and that will become our human future as modernity trasitions properly to sustainable modernity. There will always be plenty to do, but haveing a robot handy will massively augment the quality of the lifeway. You are not going to ask the robot to walk the land and pull random weeds. You will task it with a repetative task that needs doing. And yes, this is not so obvious, but a farmer does walk the land and in the process his body becomes completely grounded and remains so forever. Six billion people on eart... more »
How are small farms surviving? Airbnb.
This is actually good sense, particularly if you bring in portable units to rent out and then use the farm house as the food venue and hospitality service. A bit of an initial investment but easily made back from rentals. It also will inspire the operator to fully groom their area of use as well which is also useful, and it is no trick to set out marked walking trails through the fields. Most guests will be mobile and this provides a super convenient base for local trips and lacks the unpleasantness of most commercial facilities.. *How are small farms surviving?
