"That Tiny Light..."
"Hope is that tiny light that the gods have given us so that we can find our way through our darkest hours. And while we might stub our toes and bruise our knees, if we keep moving forward, even when our progress is slow and painful, we will overcome and be made better by our journey. No misery or bad situation is ever infinite or final until we make a conscious decision for it to be so." - Sherrilyn Kenyon

*Reuters:* *At least 40 civilians at wedding party killed during nearby U.S.-backed Afghan army raid* HELMAND, Afghanistan/KABUL (Reuters) - At least 40 civilians attending a wedding party were killed by explosions and gunfire during a raid by U.S.-backed Afghan government forces on a nearby Islamist militant hideout, officials in Helmand province said on Monday.

Indonesian Security Forces: 19 Civilians And A Soldier Killed During Rioting In Two Towns In Papua
*Reuters: **Indonesia says 20 killed, scores hurt in fresh unrest in Papua* JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesian security forces said on Monday that 19 civilians and a soldier had been killed during rioting in two towns in Papua, in an escalation of violence in a region that in recent weeks has seen its most serious civil unrest in years over perceived ethnic racial discrimination. Protests convulsed the country’s easternmost provinces of Papua and West Papua, on the island of New Guinea - collectively known as Papua - for two weeks in late August. The sometimes violent unrest erupted ... more »
This one's for Larry Correia
After Larry's fulminations against Mike Glyer and File 770, it seems that progressive loony-left agitators are reporting anything and everything he says on Facebook as a breach of that platform's code of conduct, resulting in multiple bans. This doesn't exactly worry him - he's got hundreds of thousands of his own followers who couldn't care less what Facebook thinks - but it's frustrating, nonetheless. Anyway, I thought I'd cheer Larry up by posting yesterday's Pearls Before Swine cartoon strip. I think it sums up the situation very nicely. Click the image to go to a larger ver... more »
Iran's Military Is a Total Joke

How U.S. Aircraft Carriers Nearly Got the F-117 Stealth Fighters
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Americas* [image: The original uploader was Koalorka at English Wikipedia.(Original text: SSGT JASON COLBERT) [Public domain]] Why not? *Key point:* The Nighthawk nearly became the Seahawk but the development of the F-22 put a stop to that plan. The F-117 Nighthawk made a definite impression on both Iraqi air defenses and the American public when it demonstrated the capabilities of stealth technology in the 1991 Gulf War. Yet the iconic jet-black attack plane was ultimately left behind by improvements in technology and retired in 2008 in favor of the... more »
A Recession Won't Stop America's Reckless Military Spending
*Peter Harris* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] The gap between what is affordable and what Washington is doing just keeps growing. Is a recession coming? Most economists—and most ordinary Americans—seem to think so. If they’re right, it will spell tumultuous times for U.S. politics, with unpredictable consequences for next year’s elections and beyond. One thing that a recession would not do, however, is catalyze major cuts to U.S. overseas commitments. While a recession would surely widen the already significant gap between America’s international ambitions and its domesti... more »
Is Washington Creating a Peshmerga Problem?
*Seth J. Frantzman* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The Peshmerga are poised to play a more critical role in U.S.-Middle East affairs. But Washington has been neglecting its key ally in favor of countries that have more clout on the world stage. The road north from Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq, is festooned with construction equipment for work on a large modernization project. Earthworks have been churned up, bridges are under construction, like the new multilane span across the Great Zab River. It is part of an artery for trad... more »
Learn from Iran: Could North Korea Use Drones in a Future War?
*Robert E. Kelly* *Security, Asia* What lessons will Pyongyang learn from Iran's recent attack on Saudi oil facilities? Last week’s surprise drone attack on a Saudi Arabian oil field has kicked up a significant debate on whether this is the future of conflict. The debate over drones has grown dramatically since President Barack Obama began to rely on them heavily in the war on terrorism. Other countries have quickly adapted and developed their own programs. In the United States, it is often said that the F-35 is the last manned fighter jet America will produce. Drones are cheape... more »

Defending Saudi Arabia...Hardly Our Moral Responsibility!
President Trump's decision to deploy more US troops (and more failed Patriot Missile batteries) signals the US Administration's continuing determination to back Saudi Arabia in its aggressive war against Yemen. But what does it mean that the mighty US air superiority has been defeated by a few cheap drones and missiles? The illusion of dominance. Should we be engaging further in the Middle East...or is it time to come home? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:
Kamala Harris and the Cult of the Presidency
[image: undefined] Kamala Harris wants you to join her cult. But don’t worry: membership is voluntary — that is, unless a plurality of your fellow voters wants to join, in which case you’ll be automatically enrolled. You see, Harris’ cult is the “cult of the Presidency.” Coined by Gene Healy, the phrase describes the worship that so often accompanies what many Americans consider to be a grand, magisterial office from which all good things flow, and all evil seeks to corrupt. In their peculiar astronomy of this mindset, the Oval Office occupies the center of the universe. Everything... more »
Democrats Panic Over Biden-Ukraine Scandal As MSM Hits Full Spin Cycle
[image: undefined] As Joe Biden plummets in the popularity, Democratic lawmakers and the MSM have gone into panic mode after a whistleblower report of political malfeasance during a July phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about the Biden family's dealings turned out to be fake news. Since the initial report, the Trump-Zelensky call has been downgraded to remove implications of a quid pro quo - and attention is now turning to what the Bidens actually did. “The real story involves Hunter Biden going around the world and collecting large pa... more »
Progressives Can’t Divide a Party We Don’t Belong To
l don’t think I know a single Progressive and/or Independent who isn’t accused on a daily basis of “splitting the party” or “being divisive” by centrist Democrats. The self-centered assumption that anyone who’s not a member of the GOP owes the other half of the oligarchy allegiance is beyond mind-boggling. I’ve been an Independent since 1983. I’m not dividing any party, as I don’t belong to any party. That’s the whole point of being an Independent. But… The post Progressives Can’t Divide a Party We Don’t Belong To appeared first on The Ghion Journal.
Greta has united Czechs, urgently needs psychiatric care
The Greta phenomenon is an absolutely bizarre example of the incredibly amplified influence of complete loons over the contemporary world. The sick teenager's mental health needs immediate support from the experts. Instead, she is being invited to new places where she is delivering increasingly unhinged rants. In her latest exhibition in the United Nations, she said "how dare you" and "we have been watching you" to the world's politicians – who have been accused of having stolen her childhood because the ecosystems are "collapsing" while they are only saying "empty words".
