Saudi Arabia Under Siege: Is the Kingdom Quietly Crumbling?
*Matthew Petti* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Saudi authorities have been silent about the Houthi claims of a cross-border raid, but worrying reports are leaking out of the country.

Daniel Dale gets it right about Schiff!
*TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2019Elsewhere, standards going and gone:* In our view, Daniel Dale got it right on CNN last night. The fabled fact-checker was responding to a question from the perpetually over-matched Don Lemon. According to the CNN transcript, the question went like this: LEMON (9/30/19): Listen, Daniel. Ever since *House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff paraphrased and added some analysis to Trump's Ukraine call transcript,* that occurring with the acting DNI, he has become the president's target on Twitter. *Just today, [Trump] said this: "Rep. Adam Schiff illegally mad... more »
US Pensions Abandoning 8% Pipe Dreams?
Robert Steyer of Pensions & Investments reports that US public pension funds are abandoning their 8% dreams: When it comes to public pension plans' assumed rates of return, what is rare today was quite common less than 10 years ago. *Only three (correction: it's six) of 129 public plans tracked by the National Association of State Retirement Administrators have assumed rates of return at 8%.* In 2010, by contrast, 59 plans had assumed rates of return of 8% and another 30 had rates higher than 8%, said Alex Brown, NASRA's research director. As recently as 2015, NASRA reported that ... more »
From Tomb To Table: Cumin’s Health Benefits Rediscovered

October if Domestic Violence Month
For 40 years, October has been National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so be nice--it's for men, women, same-sex couples, teens, etc. We also have VAWA, or Violence Against Women Act, drafted by handsy, hair smelling, Ukraine visiting Joe Biden in 1991 and signed in 1994 by President Clinton, who lost his license to practice law because of the law suit by Paula Jones bringing on the impeachment when he lied under oath about the assault. Republicans have had bad press about VAWA because they've failed to renew it due to Democrats stuffing it with all sorts of things like specia... more »
Everyone’s a monetarist (except when it comes to money)
Why does the value of strawberries change over time? How about the value of houses? How about gasoline? Most people use some form of a supply and demand model to explain changes in the value of goods. These models actually explain “relative prices”, not nominal prices. Thus in EC101, a 3% increase in the price […] The post Everyone’s a monetarist (except when it comes to money) appeared first on Econlib.
LIES, DAMNED LIES, AND "OUTRAGE SIGNALING"
In *The Guardian,* Catherine Fieschi notes that populist politicians in many countries lie proudly. The torrent of lies that flows from the mouths of populists feels relentless: from Donald Trump’s routine lying about everything from Iran to the weather, to Boris Johnson’s fictitious £350m for the NHS, Turkey on the cusp of joining the EU or most sensationally misleading the Queen about why the UK parliament should be shut down. My research on populism elsewhere in Europe confirms that lying is a constant feature of populist politics.... And the lies -- Fieschi gives Trump's inaugu... more »
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
A double minded man *is* unstable in all his ways. -James 1:8 (New Living Translation: Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.)

Cleanse *your* hands, *ye* sinners; and purify *your* hearts, *ye* double minded. -James 4:8 6-25-2019 The *U.S. Constitution* does not mention the need for a central bank, nor does it explicitly grant the government the power to create one.

Brexit Party Climate Fudge
By Paul Homewood Apart from their ongoing difficulties delivering Brexit, by far the biggest worry about Boris Johnson’s Conservatives is their craven subservience to the green sky fairy. I’ve just been watching one of their panel discussions on energy and environment, broadcast from the Tory conference in Manchester, and it made me feel quite ill. […]

The real reason for the impeachment effort becomes much clearer
Listen to Senator Lindsey Graham comment (yesterday) on foreign influence in the last US Presidential election, and since that time. All the countries mentioned have already been demonstrated to be involved in the Mueller investigation, either as instigators of specific areas or as collaborators. One does wonder why the Establishment is so desperately afraid of Barr's investigation of that, and what he might uncover. What's more, the Senator says we'll know more "in two weeks" (3m. 30sec. into the video clip). That's a pretty specific timetable . . . and tends to explain why ... more »

Why the Nineteenth Amendment Matters Today: A Citizen's Guide for the Centennial
This year marks the one hundredth anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, a radically pro-democratic amendment that empowered roughly ten million women to vote in a general election for the first time. Given the practical and expressive significance of the Amendment, it is appropriate that the United States is honoring the occasion. But Americans might do more than honor their shared past. They might be encouraged to think about why the story of the Nineteenth Amendment matters to Americans living today. That story includes a ha... more »
Want to fix peer review? Standardize appeals
It’s happened to all of us. You get that email “Decision on Manuscript…,” open it with a bit of trepidation, just to find a (hopefully) politely worded rejection from the editor.

Iraq War 3.0? Israel Attacks...With US Backing!
Iraq has formally accused Israel of the spate of attacks on its territory over the past several weeks. Most recently, Israeli drones are said to have taken off from a US-controlled base in the Kurdish region of Syria and attacked Iraqi territory. Again. Iraq is warning of war while the US again pursues an incoherent and counterproductive policy. Will the US continue to back Israeli aggression in the region? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:

Twofer Tuesday (and the mail)
*Politics and China* I've been trying to deal with situations in Hong Kong and Big China more intensely over the past few days. A statement was put to me directly by a shot caller. "You have the best plan to resolve the situation but what would it look like if a Westerner (foreign, barbarian devil) solved this vexing problem?" They're right. It would make them appear to be totally incompetent. Thus ends the comment. *Planet X* There has been a lot of discussion about a tenth planet (assuming that you're counting Pluto as the ninth planet) bouncing around the Jet Propulsion Laborat... more »
What the House Has Planned on Impeachment This Week
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (Source: Flickr/Gage Skidmore) The House of Representatives is out of session this week and is not scheduled to return until Oct. 15. Most members are back in their districts—and many of them will be explaining to their constituents their position on the House’s impeachment inquiry, which picked up serious steam last week in the wake of news about the president’s conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. But several House committees—Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, and Oversight and Reform—are nonetheless energetical... more »
Does Giuliani’s Work in Ukraine Violate the Appointments Clause?
Rudy Giuliani (Source: Flickr/Gage Skidmore) President Trump’s personal lawyer—former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani—appears to have played a pivotal role in orchestrating the president’s designs with respect to Ukraine. Assuming the part of an unofficial diplomat, Giuliani reportedly met with a Ukrainian prosecutor and with a senior aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in order to press for an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden. In doing so, Giuliani appears to have sidelined the national security officials who manage U.S.-Ukraine relations, expressing ... more »

Taxation Without Representation
The very words that started America down the path to a Revolution. It is very apparent that Congress no longer represents the American People and thus, we are taxed without getting a shred of representation. Case-in-point, Nutsy Pelosi’s Kongress (spelled as the USSR would in order to represent the DNC). WHAT have they done since 2016 except waste money and time crying and whining about losing an election that THEY, the Dems and the Never Trumpers rigged? In a word, nothing. FACTOID: “The last time the Congress and the President completed the [Constitutionally required] budget proce... more »

Why .44 Magnum Rifles Matter to Gun Owners Today
*Gun News Daily* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/prodimages/62425-DEFAULT-l.jpg] What do you think? *Key point: *All the benefits of a revolver, but with better range. The .44 Magnum is a powerful revolver cartridge. It was initially developed to be a more potent load of the .44 S&W Special, its parent cartridge, by Elmer Keith in 1955. Made largely popular by Clint Eastwood in his 1971 movie “Dirty Harry”, it has enjoyed a well-deserved reputation among law enforcers, hunters and sporting arms enthusiasts.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Stun Guns and Tasers

I’ve always wondered why stun guns are called such when they don’t really look, much less function, like any gun. A Taser device on the other hand typically looks and handles like a handgun and fires two prongs from a short distance, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone referring to it as a stu... more »
Xi Jinping Will Usher in a Dark Age for China
*Bradley Thayer, Lianchao Han* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Xi Jinping's rule will likely result in unprecedented disaster for China and the world given that his actions will adversely affect the global community. Today marks the seventieth anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. In the Communist world, the anniversary of the Party’s seizure of power is always employed to send political messages. This is particularly true on this occasion. We expect China’s leader, Xi Jinping, to use the occasion to glorify himself as the savior of China, celebrate his rise to power... more »
