Distinction Without A Difference-- Gaslighting Is The Best Way To Describe What Trump And Biden Do Anyway
Valley Girl seemed all worked up the other day, after reading a 2017 *Vox* post by Matty Iglesias, about the difference between a liar and a bullshitter. I can see exactly what must have attracted her to it: "Donald Trump’s disregard for the truth is something more sinister than ordinary lying." By today she was telling me she didn't care if I ran it or not or to rewrite it. Rewiting it means going someplace neither she nor Iglesias had much interest in going: why Biden seems to want to compete with Trump for the position of biggest liar in politics. Neither of them should be anyw... more »

The Next U.S. Presidential Election Is Now About Impeachment
*Michael Goodwin, NYPost: **Pelosi’s impeachment flip-flop changes everything * For months, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned itchy Democrats against the perils of impeachment. She should have stuck to her guns. In surrendering to the radicals and the noisy drumbeat of their media handmaidens, Pelosi established a formal investigative process involving the top legislative committees. Yet she did something else, too, something far more monumental: She effectively committed House Dems to impeaching President Trump. Because of what she said and did, if the House doesn’t go all the w... more »

What Is President Trump Being Impeached For?
(Rick Friedman/Polaris/Newscom) *WNU Editor:* I must admit that I do not understand what the Democrats are doing right now. For two and a half years we were told by many in the media, Democrats, and never-Trumpers that President Trump was going to be eventually impeached for colluding with Russia. But that fell apart when Robert Mueller released his report stating very clearly that there was no collusion. You would think that this would be the end of it, but apparently not. Today the Democrats made the decision to push for the impeachment of President Trump. Apparently it is about ... more »

“Grand spiral galaxies often seem to get all the glory. Their young, blue star clusters and pink star forming regions along sweeping spiral arms are guaranteed to attract attention. But small irregular galaxies form stars too, like NGC 4449, about 12 million light-years distant.

Chet Raymo, “A New ‘Creation' Oratorio”
*“A New ‘Creation' Oratorio”* by Chet Raymo "Two centuries have elapsed since Joseph Haydn composed his magnificent "The Creation" oratorio. In all that time, no other musician has given us a better evocation of how the universe began. The famous C-major fortissimo chord of Haydn's oratorio- the glorious sunburst of sound that comes in response to the whispered words, "And there was light"- is an apt evocation of the modern astronomer's Big Bang. Still, we have learned a lot since Herschel's time about the universe's beginning and probable end. Maybe it's time for a musical update.... more »

Using an earlier example, if I see you on the street and I say, "Hey, you are so stupid," without knowing you, it's not about you; it's about me. If you take it personally, perhaps you believe you are stupid. Maybe you think to yourself, "How does he know? Is he clairvoyant, or can everybody see how stupid I am?" You take it personally because you agree with whatever was said. As soon as you agree, the poison goes through you, and you are trapped in the dream of hell. Wha... more »

Is Total Liberty Viable?
Most libertarians see total liberty as a solution to all social problems. But I think their view of society is naive. While liberty may solve one set of problems, those that are an outcome of the nature of the government, it will lead to the rise to new problems by breeding powerful enemies, both inside the nation and outside it. From the history of the last 2500 years we learn that the free nations are often rocked by violent revolutions, and they are constantly being attacked by the totalitarian nations and barbarians groups. Liberty is relatively easy to attain, but it’s hard to ... more »

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Hitler loved Volkswagen cars. *Key point:* The Nazis wanted mass-produced cars for its citizens, hence the "Volkswagen" name. The Volkswagen, or “People’s Car,” that so many millions have known for more than half a century had its genesis in Nazi Germany. Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, who designed the Volkswagen, had to share the concept with none other than Adolf Hitler. And though the Volkswagen may have first been intended for use as a civilian recreational vehicle, it was quickly transformed into three basic military iterations: the Komma... more »
This Is How Ukraine's Arms Industry Can Help It Fight Better
*Denys Gurak* *Security, Europe* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/UKRAINE-CRISIS--RC13ADCC7AC0.html] (And the West can help too.) *Key point:* Integration and modernization would do wonders for Ukraine's ability to arm itself. The global balance of power is in transition. A global order that was established after World War II and the collapse of Soviet Union is now evolving and often dysfunctional. We are witnessing the expansion of a multipolar world, and the risk of conflict is intensifying due to an increase in the number of influential players around the world. ... more »

Watch Out: Ukraine's Military Is Much Better Than It Was in 2014
*Mykola Bielieskov* *Security, Europe* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/UKRAINE-DRILLS--RC1751F43520.html] A vast improvement. *Key point:* Ukraine's fighting forces are now tougher, better armed, and better trained. It is indisputable that the main criterion for assessing the armed forces of any country is its ability to effectively perform tasks under wartime conditions. Nevertheless, the ability to use the defense budget as efficiently as possible can be an equally important way of assessment—when each unit of investment can achieve the greatest possible positive... more »

Dems Break Huddle. Pelosi Calls Hail Mary Play
*Trump Is Guilty So We Must Find The Evidence* *Media is presently giddy and orgasmic......* The rationale is probably as silly as anything Robert Mueller ever investigated. It is made even more silly by the fact that attempting to impeach Trump for trying to stop corruption and to champion the rule of law will one of the hardest concepts imaginable to sell to about 80% of America. Particularly when the evidence on Hunter Biden and good ol’ Dad starts coming out. I’m not sure that the politics of this has been completely thought through. It seems to me that impeachment has a l... more »
