Ken Burns and the ultimate shape of impeachment!
*SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2019PBS examines the Others:* We were surprised by something we saw on the front page of this morning's Washington Post. The Post was reporting on certain voters' attitude toward the possible impeachment of Donald J. Trump. Right out there on page A1, the opening paragraph of the report said this: PORTNOY ET AL (12/28/19): They don’t ordinarily agree with each other. They watch different channels, hear different versions of the news and view neighbors across a gaping, painful political divide. But in swing districts across the country, the idea of impeachi... more »

Back in 2016, the F-35 Could Not Find Any Enemy That Could Challenge It
*David Axe* *Security, * Wargaming with the F-35 is hard for a few reasons. *Key point: *The Air Force lacks realistic simulators. It’s no secret that we are skeptics when it comes to the F-35 Lightning II. The new, radar-evading, “fifth-generation” warplane is years late, over-budget and — by virtue of its many, sometimes contradictory missions —* represents a design compromise*, meaning it’s okay at lots of tasks but excels at none of them. Still, the U.S. military plans to replace nearly all of its current tactical jets with as many as 2,400 F-35s at a total program cost, i... more »
2030 Armageddon: If America And China Went All Out, The World Would End?
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* Let's hope that doesn't happen. *Key point: *Diplomacy is our best bet. *What would the War of 2030 between China and the United States look like?* The People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the United States appear ready to plunge off the precipice of a trade war. This war could have far-ranging effects on the economies of both countries, as well as the future of the global economic order. But as of yet, it does not seem likely to involve the flight of actual bombs and missiles. While the U.S. and China have a variety of minor conflicts, none rise... more »
Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Democrat POTUS Candidates
Well, what have we here? Over ten thousand steaks grilled in the open air by seventeen Dem POTUS candidates at a Polk County, Iowa rally last Saturday. I wonder if Greta Thunberg was invited? Maybe she was on that chartered jet headed home to Sweden …. Just as a reminder, the Dems say they are the party of evil beef / cow flatulence / vegans / save the planet / climate change / air pollution scares / wealth redistribution. “Blue wave” in 2020, yeah sure. Maybe the blue wave of Tidy-Bowl, but not much else. How come the Dems cooked … Continue reading →

Has Matt Drudge been taken over by a pod person?...
*it seems to be the question of the day.* *Is the new Drudge in there?*Matt Drudge (Drudge Report) is an aggregator. He links to articles that he considers important often giving them catchy little titles. That's about all he does. He shot to prominence when he more or less broke the Clinton/Monica Lewinski scandal. This linking business has made him a multi-multi-millionaire. Good for him. Lately his catchy little titles have developed a decidedly anti-Trump vibe and people are all upset. Why? In my opinion too much brouhaha is made over Drudge and his possible influence. Wh... more »

China's New Eye In The Sky Spy Drone Is Watching the U.S. Navy
*David Axe* *Security, * A game-changer? *Key point: *China has a long way to go to catch America in drone technology. China reportedly activated one of its Soar Dragon large spy drones to keep tabs on a U.S. Navy cruiser that sailed through the Taiwan Strait in late July 2019. The *Ticonderoga*-class cruiser USS *Antietam *transited the Taiwan Strait on July 24, 2019 as a show of force. In addition to the Soar Eagle, Beijing sortied J-11 fighters 10 times during *Antietam*’s nine-hour transit, according to Taiwan’s Up Media.

How Does the CZ P10 Stack up Against the Glock 19?
*Gun News Daily* *Security, Americas* [image: https://i.redd.it/ozuqq128ro801.jpg] Any better? *Key point:* CZ makes decent pistols but is following what Glock is doing. In 2017 CZ introduced their first striker fired pistol, the CZ P10C. *A mid-sized 9mm pistol with a 15-round magazine capacity* designed to compete with the Glock 19, Walther PPQ, and HK VP9, the P10C gained a solid reputation for reliability, impressive ergonomics, and a smooth and light trigger pull. Late last year, CZ introduced two new pistols in the P10 line up: the P10F and the P10S. In case, you didn’t f... more »

*Robert Beckhusen* *History, Europe* [image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Belarus-Minsk-Museum_of_GPW_Exhibition-5.jpg] Nazi and Soviet armor went head-to-head. *Key point:* Nearly a thousand tanks fought during Germany's Citadel offensive. A thousand coffee table books and countless hours of popular history programs have described the Battle of Prokhorovka, part of the Third Reich’s 1943 Operation Citadel, as the largest tank battle in history. Near the city of Kursk on the Eastern Front, hundreds of Soviet tanks slammed into the 2nd SS Panzer Corps in a... more »

Air Force Gen. Herbert “Hawk” Carlisle, commander of Air Combat Command, this week declared the F-35A fighter jet ready for combat. While many pundits and politicians have questioned the worth of this jet, the only people who know the ground truth are the pilots themselves.

The U.S. Navy's Largest Battleship Never Made It Out To Sea—Why?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Waste of time and money. *Key point: *Obsolete before they could hit the waves. The U.S. Navy’s most powerful battleships were never actually built. The five *Montana*-class battleships, leviathans designed to dwarf even the giant *Iowa*-class battleships, were authorized for construction but never built, victims of the ascendance of naval aviation. Nearly as large as a modern supercarrier the *Montana*-class, like all battleships, was made obsolete by the success of the aircraft carrier. In the late 1930s, the U.S. government, recognizing the deter... more »

*Robert Farley* *Security, * And it survived Pearl Harbor Only one ship has ever been sunk in anger by a nuclear submarine.

Forty-one years after the Japanese attack, she would fall victim to HMS *Conqueror* off the Falklands Islands. The USS *Phoenix* was the fifth of the Brooklyn class—a group of light cruisers designed to comply with the restrictions imposed by the London Naval Treaty of 1930.

The Essence of Lenin
Lenin did more than anyone else to shape the last hundred years.

To establish this power, he invented the one-party state, a term that would previously have seemed self-contradictory […] The post The Essence of Lenin appeared first on Econlib.

The 2018 Seegers Lecture: Emoluments and President Trump
Emoluments are back in the news, as Donald Trump’s conversation with Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed what every foreign diplomat in Washington understands: relations with the United States must now confront the reality of a cash register presidency. The timing of this latest revelation coincides with the publication of my 2018 Seegers Lecture, which is now posted to SSRN. In addition to discussing the three lawsuits against President Trump still pending in federal courts, I used this opportunity to publish some of my Balkinization posts on emoluments over the past few years (see, e.g... more »
McCONNELL GENUINELY WANTS TO HOLD A TRIAL -- AND HE WANTS IT TO BE A FARCE
Philip Bump of *The Washington Post* believes that Mitch McConnell might simply refuse to conduct a Senate trial if the House impeaches President Trump. There exist Senate rules of procedure that dictate how impeachment trials should be run. As Michael Dorf, Robert S. Stevens professor of law at Cornell Law School, put it in an email to The Post, the rules include a “a lot of ‘shall’ language” — language that gives McConnell and the Republican majority a lot of flexibility in how they conduct a trial. Or whether they conduct a trial at all.... “As a practical matter,” he continued ... more »

Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions. To have such clarity you must lead a disciplined life. Only then will you know that any path is only a path, and there is not affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you to do.

The mounting human cost of the Thomas Cook collapse By Richard Tyler
The international scale of the crisis, with devastating economic and social implications, has rapidly become clear. The collapse means that the firm’s entire 22,000-strong global workforce have lost their jobs. Some 9,000 of these are employed in the UK, with 6,000 already laid off. The firm was headquartered in Manchester, with 3,000 previously employed in the region.

On Plato’s Apology
One who is aware of his own ignorance is a man of wisdom. We learn this from Socrates who, in Plato’s *Apology*, informs the Athenian jurors that the Oracle of Delphi has judged him to be the wisest because they realize that he knows that he doesn’t know. Being aware of one’s lack of knowledge is not the same as knowing nothing, because such awareness can only come when one knows what is there to know. The only thing that Socrates claims to have learned on the basis of his own experience is that an unexamined life is not worth living. Here’s an excerpt from the statement that Socrat... more »

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* Sooner than you think. *Key point:* Beijing is making rapid progress to having a real carrier-centric navy. The People’s Liberation Army Navy—more commonly known outside of China as the Chinese Navy—is modernizing at a breakneck pace. Chinese shipbuilders have built more than one hundred warships in the past decade, a build rate outstripping the mighty U.S. Navy. Most importantly, China now has two aircraft carriers—Liaoning and a second ship under sea trials—and a third and possibly fourth ship under construction. With such a massive force unde... more »

The Conservatives are pitching Andrew Scheer as a Canadian Everyman. Alan Freeman writes: The Globe and Mail’s fawning profile of Andrew Scheer starts with a bit of a fib. It contrasts the laid-back security approach at Stornoway, the official home of the opposition leader, to the “sprawling and regal” residence of the Prime Minister at 24 Sussex Drive. The anecdote is to convey the idea, much beloved of Conservative Party spin-masters, that Andrew Scheer is “everyman” compared to the Trudeau princeling who’s the current prime minister. But these days, Trudeau doesn't live at 24... more »
History Seems to Forgotten About This Navy's Insanely Tough Battleship Fleet
*Robert Farley* *Security, Europe* Luckily that didn't happen. *Key Point*: Italy had the best navy you've never heard of. Italy’s Regia Marina was one of the busiest navies of the interwar period. Four old battleships were rebuilt so completely that they barely resembled their original configuration. This helped Italy achieve what was really, by the late 1930s, significant ship-to-ship superiority over the French Navy. The reconstruction of these ships helped generate ideas as to what their new battleships should look like. The new ships were to have enough speed to catch *Dunk... more »
Back in 2010, the U.S. Navy Surfaced 3 Elite Submarines to Warn China

Nuclear powers rarely go to war with each other, but that doesn’t mean they don’t *threaten* to do so. Indeed, military posturing is an integral part of what Forrest Morgan, an analyst for the RAND Corporation, called “crisis stability.” In other words, “building and posturing forces in ways that allow a state, if confronted, to avoid war without backing down.” Long-range heavy bombers are some of the best forces for crisis stability, Morgan wrote... more »
How Imperial Japan Tried To Build More Aircraft Carriers to Crush America
*Warfare History Network, John W. Whitman* *History, * No chance. *Key point: *Japanese industry was unbalanced. Japan lacked the industrial strength needed to wage a war against the United States.

One example is the Imperial Japanese Navy’s June 30, 1942, plan for aircraft carrier construction.

Flying a high-performance jet fighter is a physically and mentally demanding skill that requires a lot of practice—but each hour flying a warplane can cost tens of thousands of dollars in fuel and maintenance expenses. That's why air forces employ lighter, easier-handling Lead-In Fighter Trainers (LIF... more »

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.saddlerockarmory.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/F9C0816F-5954-4530-B276-A725D4413ECB.jpeg] A good gun for civilians too. *Key point:* The new P-320 is a solid gun that many would rightly consider purchasing. Sig Sauer’s new P-320 pistol is enjoying a considerable streak of publicity, in large part due to the U.S. Army’s adoption of the it as the service’s new handgun. One new variant of the rapidly growing P-320 line is the X-Carry, a compact handgun designed for concealed carriers and those that want smaller firearms wit... more »
Ruger SP101 Compact Revolver: The Best Gun to Defend Your Home?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://ruger.com/productImages/15702/detail/1.jpg] How does it compare? *Key point: *A small revolver is useful to protect yourself. In 1988 Sturm Ruger firearms introduced what would become one of their most popular revolvers of all time: the SP101 compact revolver. The SP101 was a lightweight, small frame revolver that built upon the company’s reputation for robust, reliable firearms. Since its introduction, the SP101 has branched into a wide range of calibers, both rimfire and centerfire, capable a broad spectrum of roles. The ... more »
Surprise! A U.S. F-22 Stealth Raptor 'Flew Under' Iran's F-4 Fighter
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * Never had a chance. *Key point:* Iran's air force is far behind America's. Back in 2013, Pentagon press secretary George Little said that an Iranian air force F-4 Phantom combat plane attempted to intercept a U.S. MQ-1 Predator drone flying through international airspace near Iran. As we reported back then, one of the two F-4 Phantom jets — in service in Iran since the Shah — came to about 16 miles from the Predator, but broke off pursuit after two American planes escorting the drone broadcast a warning message. It was a close call. The March 20... more »
The Air Force's Crazy Plan to Protect the B-36 Bomber: Hide Escort Fighters Inside of It
*David Axe* *Security, * Can't fight what you don't know is there. *Key point: *Not a great idea. Yes, the title stinks. But I love — love — Steve Pace’s *The Big Book of X-Bombers and X-Fighters*, out now from Zenith Press. “It takes a brave author to write a comprehensive review of every turbojet-powered Air Force fighter and bomber, produced or not,” Walter Boyne, himself a famous author and pilot, writes in the foreword of Pace’s thick, lavish tome. I couldn’t agree more. *X-Bombers and X-Fighters* is too exhaustive to review in the conventional way. So I’m not going to both... more »
Why China's Submarines Are Laser-Focused On America's Aircraft Carriers
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* It would mean war. *Key point: *China's navy is getting strong. In 1995 and 1996, Taiwanese politicians signaled greater support for declaring their island country officially independent of China. Beijing’s response was swift, forceful … and ultimately an embarrassment to China. The Chinese fired several missiles toward small, Taiwanese-held islands. That’s when the United States intervened in a big way, sending two entire aircraft carrier battle groups into the waters around Taiwan — and even sailing one carrier through the Taiwan Strait. The Chine... more »

*Did You Know? Repaying Student Loans Isn’t Onerous for Most Graduates* College students have taken on so much debt that many political leaders are declaring a “student debt crisis.” Certainly, many former students are facing a crisis as they struggle to pay back their loans several years after graduation. Even graduates from low-earning fields of study, however, see their salaries improve to the point where their debt-to-income ratio isn’t onerous. Though what field of study students choose can determine their post-graduation salaries, the important thing for students is to make ... more »

*The actual problem with the Green New Deal* *It's not green* UK: Both here and in the US there’s this thing called the Green New Deal. A vast and transformative project to, well, actually, to move the world over to an entirely different economic structure. The claimed justification being the need to deal with climate change. Caroline Lucas is to launch the proposal for legislation. There’s a problem with it though: *It’s been more than 10 years in the making, and is the top demand of the youth strikers gathering on Friday for the UK’s largest ever climate protest – which is why F... more »
