On the False Hopes of the Liberals
The liberals are convinced that all men in the world can be perfected by using the persuasive powers of the leftist intellectuals and the coercive powers of the government. But this is not true. Perfection is unachievable because it represents an “ideal state” and an ideal state is always a figment of imagination; it can never be achieved because it is against the laws of nature. The real world is a hard place—and it takes something more than the hopes and rationalizations of the liberals to defend the interests of civilization in a hard world.

Instead of being protected, these very young students were placed in handcuffs and arrested. Each one faced misdemeanor battery charges as a result of behavioral outbursts ... more »

Trump Pressed Australian Leader to Help Barr Investigate Mueller Inquiry’s Origins
*New York Times:** Trump Pressed Australian Leader to Help Barr Investigate Mueller Inquiry’s Origins* WASHINGTON — President Trump pushed the Australian prime minister during a recent telephone call to help Attorney General William P. Barr gather information for a Justice Department inquiry that Mr. Trump hopes will discredit the Mueller investigation, according to two American officials with knowledge of the call. The White House restricted access to the call’s transcript to a small group of the president’s aides, one of the officials said, an unusual decision that is similar... more »
The Free Speech Coalition has just helped to undermine free speech.
In seeking a High Court review of the Auckland Council's decision to cancel a talk by Lauren Southern & Stefan Molyneux, the Free Speech Coalition risked creating a fearful precedent. Unsurprisingly, news has just confirmed that the Coalition has lost the case. Fortunately, however, it seems the Court has not created any of the precedents we feared. That they didn't is perhaps only pure chance. In taking this case, the Coalition did not seek to *reverse* the council's decision -- the speakers have long returned home, and one of them (Southern) has now announced her retirement from ... more »
Worst Democraps In Congress-- Time For NRA Champion Anthony Brindisi
*Brindisi addressing other right-wing fake Democrats* There are just 10 Democrats left who haven't come out for an impeachment inquiry. It's probably the final list-- cowardly careerists afraid of losing their seats. These are the final 10-- 9 Blue Dogs and someone who should be tossed out of the Progressive Caucus-- with Trump's 2016 win numbers in their districts: • Anthony Brindisi (Blue Dog-NY)- 54.8% • Joe Cunningham (Blue Dog-SC)- 53.5% • Jared Golden (Coward-ME)- 51.4% • Kendra Horn (Blue Dog-OK)- 53.2% • Ron Kind (New Dem-WI)- 49.3% • Ben McAdams (Blue Dog-UT)- 39.1% • Collin... more »

EXCERPT: “President Trump’s critics can’t deny that the economy is doing well, so instead they insist all the benefits have gone to the rich and large corporations. “America’s middle class is under attack,” Sen.

Why Judges Should NOT be Determining “What is Best for the Child”
Our headline, Why Judges Should NOT be Determining "What is Best for the Child", may sound like a statement that disregards child safety. It may lead one to believe that children are doomed to become victims in many cases if a judge does not step in and rule on what is "best for the child." However, Law Professor Vivek Sankaran has made the case that this is NOT the primary role of judges, and that instead judges should be interpreting the law and applying it by objective standards. The decisions about what are "best for the child" are really parental decisions, and the primary fun... more »

Free Download: Hermann Hesse, "Steppenwolf"
"And even the unhappiest life has its sunny moments and its little flowers of happiness between sand and stone. So it was then with the Steppenwolf too. It cannot be denied that he was generally very unhappy; and he could make others unhappy also, that is, when he loved them or they him. For all who got to love him saw always only the one side of him. Many loved him as a refined and clever and interesting man, and were horrified and disappointed when they had come upon the wolf in him. And they had to because Harry wished, as every sentient being does, to be loved as a whole and th... more »

Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.

“How massive can a normal star be?

This star is the brightest object located just above the gas front in the above below. *Click image for larger size.* Close inspection of images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, however, have shown that Pismis 24-1 derives its brilliant luminosity not from a single star but from three at least.

Eurasian Showdown: Are China's or Russia's Infantry Fighting Vehicles Superior?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* [image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/ZBD-05_amphibious_IFV_in_Beijing.jpg] We rank these bad boys. *Key point:* China's vehicles are getting better but are still not as updated and are based on Russian designs. As China modernizes and develops its airborne corps, it appears to be basing it off the Russian or Soviet model. Chinese airborne troops are not part of the ground forces, but rather part of the air force (PLAAF). They are also considered to be a strategic asset, capable of rapidly deploying to crisis areas to prote... more »
How Do Russia and China's Air Defense Systems Compare?
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Europe* [image: http://eng.chinamil.com.cn/view/attachement/jpg/site2/20170815/15de4a78cbf77189095373.jpg] Which is superior? *Key point:* China still buys Russian anti-air defenses but is also working on its own version for export. The HQ-9 is China’s primary long-range domestic surface-to-air missile. Outwardly, it seems similar to the S-300, using large flat face radars and a large missile that vertically launches out of a canister. But since the Sino-Soviet split in the 1950s, China didn’t receive that much assistance in surface-to-air missile dev... more »
