The College And Career Ready Scam Continues
ESSA requires schools to pick another measure of success, and many have gone with some version of gauging college and/or career readiness, but the results, as described by EdWeek, are a "hodge podge." But here come the folks at Achieve, the same folks who brought us all the beloved Common Core, with a state by state hodge-podgy guide to just how states are measuring the Common Core compliance college and career readiness. It highlights beautifully why the whole CCR business is a scam, a snare and a delusion, a room full of smoke and mirrors, and a web of moonbeams and unicorn farts.... more »

The 25th Amendment Was Written In Case Someone Like Trump Ever Got Into The White House-- But It Didn't Count On Such A Pusillanimous Political Establishment
According to the Trump Labor Depratment, here was bad economic news on Friday. 150,000 new jobs were expected. Instead "private payrolls rose just 96,000, a three-month low, after a downwardly revised 131,000 advance the prior month." Most economists blame Trump's senseless and disastrous trade wars and his tax cuts to the top 1%. But Trump blamed... the news media. (Really.) Trump also decided to distract his base (xenophobes and racist like himself) by promising a drastic cut in the number of legal refugees welcomed into the country.

Robert Mugabe's death: too late to undo the damage he caused
I can't help feeling at least some pleasure at the news that Robert Mugabe, former dictator of Zimbabwe, has shuffled off this mortal coil. He was personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his people, and transformed Zimbabwe from a flourishing economy, the breadbasket of Africa, to a famine-stricken wreck of a country. As former Rhodesians were wont to say cynically, "People used to come to Rhodesia to see the Zimbabwe Ruins. Now they come to Zimbabwe to see the ruins of Rhodesia." That was, overwhelmingly, Mugabe's doing. My friend Lawdog has written a... more »

Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons Pose A Global Danger. What Can Be Done?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Lots of nukes in a precarious region. *Pakistani nuclear doctrine appears to be to deter what it considers an economically, politically and militarily stronger India. The nuclear standoff is exacerbated by the traditional animosity between the two countries, the several wars the two countries have fought, and events such as the 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai, which were directed by Pakistan.* Sandwiched between Iran, China, India and Afghanistan, Pakistan lives in a complicated neighborhood with a variety of security issues. One of the nine known s... more »
Will Europe's Dream of A Super Advanced Stealth Fighter Ever Come True?
*Michael Peck* *Technology, * Is the F-35 in trouble? *There have been numerous weapons that are the fruits of European cooperation, such as the British-German-Italian Tornado jet, or the Franco-German HOT anti-tank missile. Yet Britain, Germany, Italy and France have their individual main battle tanks.* Ever since the guns fell silent in 1945, Europe has always been in third place in the global arms race. Nations such as Britain, France and Sweden could devise weapons of clever and innovative design. But when it came to weapons technology, the innovation came from the United S... more »
A Stealth F-22 Flew Right Under an Iranian F-4 Phantom (And Told Them to 'Go Home')
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * The importance of air superiority. *New details about the latest episode were recently disclosed by Air Force chief of staff Gen. Mark Welsh at an annual conference of the Air Force Association. On Sept. 17, the general not only confirmed that the escorting fighters were F-22 stealth fighters but also said that: “He [the Raptor pilot] flew under their aircraft [the F-4s] to check out their weapons load without them knowing that he was there, and then pulled up on their left wing and then called them and said ‘you really ought to go home.’”* Back i... more »
An Iranian Civil War Could Devastate the Middle East—And Drag In America
*Michael Rubin* *Security, * A true nightmare. *Simply put, in Iran, the past is prologue. When the state is weak or governments collapse, restive minorities along the periphery rebel. There are ample signs that Iranian security forces are beginning to lose their grip. Not only do the economic protests which began nearly a year ago continue sporadically, but in recent months, terrorists and insurgents have grown increasingly bold along Iran’s periphery.* It was an unseasonably warm morning, in northwestern Iran, although a fresh snow blanketed the mountains. Civil unrest had pe... more »
Could Hitler Have Survived World War II? Just Ask the CIA
*Curt Mills* *Security, * Hitler died in Germany, but the story lives on. *The figure in the purported photograph clearly resembles the Nazi leader who committed suicide on April 30, 1945, in his bunker in Berlin, to avoid being captured by the Red Army. Conspiracy theories have flourished for years that senior officials in the Nazi high command escaped to South America, including the most infamous of all.* A document on the Central Intelligence Agency’s website makes an explosive, if outlandish, claim: Adolf Hitler survived World War II. “CIMELODY-3 [a code name] was contacted... more »
If France Never Fell, Could Europe Have Stopped Hitler Without America's Help?
*Robert Farley* *Security, * A fight to the last Frenchman. *Nevertheless, the eventual course of World War II put an especially bad light on the decision of the French military and political hierarchy to cease resistance against Germany. Even without foreknowledge of the German disaster in Russia, however, the French had meaningful means to resist Germany, and to continue to put pressure on the Nazi regime.* France surrendered to the Nazis in 1940 for complex reasons. The proximate cause, of course, was the success of the German invasion, which left metropolitan France at the m... more »
This Gun Means Business: The Glock 43 Should Not Be Taken Lightly
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * We know why. *The Glock 43, also known as the G43, is the latest innovation from Glock. Glock was made famous when novice gunmaker Gaston Glock produced the G17 pistol to fulfill an Austrian Army contract. The double action, polymer gun with a large seventeen-round ammunition capacity quickly won a reputation for reliability, accuracy and ease of maintenance. Its use of polymers quickly made it a media sensation for allegedly being “invisible” to airport security X-ray machines, although the reality was that the pistol profile was still easily visi... more »
