Is Mitt Romney Going To Put Mike Pence Into The Oval Office?
Tuesday night after Bill Taylor's closed-door testimony, the *New York Times* speculated that it might be a game-changer. "Taylor’s vivid depiction illustrated the differences between the impeachment inquiry against Mr. Trump and the ones that consumed Presidents Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton. While the Watergate and Monica Lewinsky cover-ups involved the integrity of America’s democracy and system of justice, the Ukraine scandal also extends to matters of life and death, as well as geopolitics on a grand scale. Mr. Taylor’s testimony could make it harder for Republicans to br... more »

Ukrainegate in a nutshell
I think Robert Bridge does a good job of summarizing our current political brouhaha. Just as Russiagate was a conspicuous effort on the part of the Democrats and their lapdog media to deflect attention away from the contents of Clinton’s emails, not to mention the identity of the leaker (as opposed to the ‘Russian hackers,’ that is), Ukrainegate is a desperate attempt to focus attention on a harmless phone call between two state leaders so as to bury the news of corruption at the highest levels of the Obama administration, up to and including not only Joe Biden, but former Secreta... more »

The Skripals, Salisbury and the curious case of Dawn Sturgess’s inquest By Craig Murray
The killing of poor Dawn Sturgess was much the most serious of the events in Salisbury and Amesbury that attracted international attention. Yet nobody has been charged, no arrest warrant issued and no inquest held. The inquest for Dawn Sturgess has today been yet again postponed, for the fourth time, and for the first time no new prospective date has been given for it to open. Alarmingly, the coroner’s office are referring press enquiries to Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command – which ought to have no role in an inquest process supposed to be independent of the police.

*“Some Questions You Might Ask”* "Is the soul solid, like iron? Or is it tender and breakable, like the wings of a moth in the beak of an owl? Who has it, and who doesn't? I keep looking around me. The face of the moose is as sad as the face of Jesus. The swan opens her white wings slowly. In the fall, the black bear carries leaves into the darkness. One question leads to another. Does it have a shape? Like an iceberg? Like the eye of a hummingbird? Does it have one lung, like the snake and the scallop? Why should I have it, and not the anteater who loves her children? Why should I have i... more »

Chet Raymo, “Many Dreams Have Been Brought To Your Doorstep...”
*“Many Dreams Have Been Brought To Your Doorstep...”* by Chet Raymo "Yesterday we followed Leonardo da Vinci to his final abode at Amboise in France, in the shadow of the king's palace. Before we leave him there, let's ponder for a moment the thing he was perhaps most famous for: the Mona Lisa's smile. No kidding. A zillion words have been written about Leonardo, and I would guess that the smile tops the chart for volume of interest. Even at age fourteen, I laid abed in a dreamy reverie listening to Nat King Cole croon her praises: "Mona Lisa Mona Lisa, men have named you, Yo... more »
"No, Maybe I Can't Win..."
“No, maybe I can’t win, maybe the only thing I can do is just take everything he’s got. But to beat me, he’s gonna have to kill me, and to kill me, he’s gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me, and to do that, he’s gotta be willing to die himself and I don’t know if he’s ready to do that. I don’t know, I don’t know.” – "Rocky Balboa"
"Goodbye Middle Class: 50% Of American Workers Make Less Than $33,000 A Year"
*"Goodbye Middle Class: * *50% Of American Workers Make Less Than $33,000 A Year"* by Michael Snyder "The truth is that most American families are deeply struggling, but you hardly ever hear this from the mainstream media. Yes, about 10 percent of all American workers are making $100,000 or more a year, but most of those high paying jobs are concentrated in the major cities along the east and west coasts. For much of the rest of the country, these are very challenging times as the cost of living soars but their paychecks do not. According to the Social Security Administration, the ... more »
Forget Glock or Sig Sauer: The 1911 Has a 100 Year Track Record
*Kyle Mizokami* *History, Americas* America's enemies beware. *Key point:* The 1911 has remained a reliable and rugged classic. For more than a hundred years, one weapon has travelled with American troops into almost every crisis, hot spot and war the United States has participated in. Developed as a response to Washington’s first overseas insurgency, the 1911 pistol still accompanies U.S. forces today around the world. The 1911 semiautomatic pistol was invented by John Moses Browning, one of the most successful—and some would say, legendary—inventors of firearms who ever lived... more »
Stealth Bombers Are Amazing Weapons of War (But What About the Bombs)
*Kris Osborn* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/906295/b-2-spirits-deploy-andersen-air-force-base] U.S. Air Force researchers and bomb-makers are expressing concerns that the modernization of air-dropped weapons has been lagging-behind the many technical advances built into the larger platforms that drop them, such as the B-2, F-35 and the emerging B-21. *Key point:* Researchers wonder if they can make better bombs to match their high-tech bomber planes.

Is the Army Getting Ready to Give Up on the A-10 Warthog?
*Kris Osborn* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5784296/10-demo-team-takes-flight-with-new-look] It is all about the F-35 now. *Key point: *The F-35 can also do close air support and is much more advanced. The US Army wants the F-35 to support its ground troops. It’s that simple. We hear volumes of information about the Marine Corps vertical-take-off-and-landing F-35B, Navy carrier-launched F-35C and Air Force F-35A - but what does the Army think of the emerging Joint Strike Fighter? Does the Army think the 5th-Gen stealth fighter would bring substant... more »
Israel's Deadliest Weapon: Why You Don't Ever Want to Take on an Uzi in a Shootout
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* The Uzi is here. *Key point: *Cheap and reliable, the Uzi has been exported around the world. One of the most recognizable weapons of the postwar era came from one of the newest nation-states. The Uzi submachine gun was designed to be a simple, inexpensive weapon that would overcome the logistical problems of a ragtag army turning professional. In doing so it became a commercial success, exported far and wide and a legend among postwar small arms. The story of the Uzi goes back to 1948 and the birth of Israel. Declared a nation in May 1948... more »
An Easy Way To Start World War III: Sink a U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier
*Robert Farley* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5738700/us-navy-ships-sail-part-commander-us-2nd-fleet-ordered-sortie-ahead-hurricane-dorian] Just asking for it. *Key point:* Washington and the American people are not known to respond lightly to any attacks. Since the 1950s, the supercarrier has been the most visible representation of U.S. military power and maritime hegemony. Although supercarriers have participated in nearly every military conflict since the commissioning of USS Forrestal in 1955, no carrier has come under determined attack from a ... more »
