Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* A lot of religions say that God lives in all of us. If that's the case, we should all feel perfectly fine and justified in judging Trump to be an asshole; a complete, total, asshole. It's very liberating! However, myself being an atheist in reality, I don't need a god to lead me to the conclusion. All my senses tell me. He makes it so easy! Now, I do hope that the god that's judging Trump is an Old Testament god, a real nasty Old Testament god!

The BBC bubble is boiling
The open revolt at the BBC over the Naga Munchetty affair continues. Thursday saw open meetings with BBC staff calling for (1) a formal apology for Naga, (2) more black and ethnic minority people to be included in the Executive Complaints Unit and (3) a review of the role of David Jordan, the BBC's head of editorial standards. On the latter point, writing in the *Sunday Times, *Jeremy Clarkson says that throwing David Jordan under the bridge would be a crime, as he's the main "fair cop" at the BBC - one of the few there who never loses sight of the fact that diversity of opinion r... more »
The Best (And Most Dangerous) Tanks from Russia
*Caleb Larson* *Security, Europe* Armata? T-90? T-34? What tanks made the list? Russia inherited a formidable and highly varied inventory of tanks after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The arc of Soviet tank design has prized simplicity of manufacture, to help mass production, and ease of operation, to partially negate tank crew’s lack of training. Compact design and lightweight are also staples of Soviet/Russian tank engineering. Here are the deadliest tanks that Russia ever designed— some of which are still in active use around the world today. *T-34* No discussion about ta... more »

Czech teenagers protested against mathematics
High school students in other countries are obsessed with the climate hysteria. Their Czech counterparts managed to organize about one lukewarm rally in March – these days, they had a much more urgent problem: to fight against the "matura" from mathematics. See a video from their rally on Friday afternoon. All Czech high schools where students are expected to go to a college – in particular, the liberal arts "gymnasiums" and "lyceums" as well as the commercial-sector or engineering-focused "industrial schools" – are ended with this "test of maturity". The arrows show a building of t... more »
In a nutshell
Rod Liddle certainly has a way with words. In his *Sunday Times c*olumn today, for example, he describes Radio 4's 'Thought for the Day' as "three minutes of anodyne, flopsy-bunny drivel filtered through the sphincter of a spineless liberal BBC apparatchik". And do you know what? He's right too.

Is Iran's Regime Really Be About To Collapse?
*Michael Rubin* *Security, Middle East* The signs point to no, but it could happen. *Key point:* If Iran falls, what happens next? Iran and the United States are as close to direct conflict as they have been for three decades, since Operation Praying Mantis in 1988 which was, at the time, the largest surface naval engagement since World War II. A lot of ink has been spilled and oxygen expended discussing the matter, some of it good and some of it simplistic. Here a few thoughts, informed by being lucky enough to spend close to seven months studying in the Islamic Republic while ... more »
How Worried Should the U.S. Navy Be About Chinese Sea Mines?
*Lyle J. Goldstein* *Security, Asia* Many threats can hide beneath the sea. *Key point: *China wants to push the U.S. Navy far from its shores. In the closing phases of the Pacific War, American military strategists ingeniously combined two weapons systems, the revolutionary long-range B-29 bomber and the comparatively simple parachute-retarded influence sea mine with magnetic or acoustic exploders, to wreak havoc on the Japanese economy and Japanese morale. The effort to sow Japan’s waterways thoroughly with thousands of mines was named, aptly enough, *Operation Starvation *and ... more »

Quote of the Day
“What happens when a Democratic speaker of the House — third in line to the presidency, according to the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 — is suddenly thrust into the Oval Office, succeeding a Republican president and vice president who resign, embroiled in scandal? Such a scenario is attracting attention.”—The Washington Post in a piece titled, “President Pelosi? It could happen.” Talk about wishful thinking. However this is not as far out as it might seem. This was actually the plan during the Nixon presidency. Agnew was forced to resign, and Nixon was supposed to be impeached... more »
PA-01 Should Be A Smoking Hot Electoral Battleground, Not This
*Andrew Meehan is running as a proud Trumpist against Brian Fitzpatrick (R) in an anti-Trump district* On paper, PA-01 looks like the most likely Democratic congressional pickup of the 2020 cycle. PA-01 is, basically, the old 8th district-- all of Bucks County and a small piece of Montgomery County-- suburbs north of Philly and west of Trenton. It's a wealthy suburban district with a PVI of R+1 that doesn't reflect the disdain in the district for Trump. In 2016, Hillary won the district by 2 points-- 49.1% to 47.1%. Trump did worse than Romney had but Hillary didn't do as well as Ob... more »

This Country Is Getting Hit Hard Thanks to Iran Oil Sanctions
*Keun Wook Paik* *economy, Asia* Any guesses as to who? In the wake of new sanctions against Iran, South Korean refineries are struggling to find alternative sources of condensate supply to replace the sizeable volume previously imported from Iran. The ultra-light oil is prized by the country’s refiners as an essential raw material for its petrochemicals industry. The hidden cost of substituting for US condensate will not be small and Seoul must encourage its conservative oil refineries to be open to diversifying supply sources. According to the US Energy Information Administrat... more »
America Needs a Space Force: These 5 Movies Could Help
*James Jay Carafano* *Security, * Does the U.S. military need some inspiration? Fire up Netflix and get inspired. It sure looks like, one way or another, America’s Space Force is going to take-off. The Pentagon plans to have version 1.0 up and running in a few months. And both versions of the annual National Defense Authorization Act—now in conference committee—have language on the Space Force. There are strong arguments that, done right, the space force would be good for America. At this stage, then, it’s worth thinking about what the character of our new force to look like. ... more »
Kel-Tec's Su-16 Rifle: Even More Powerful than an AR-15?
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, * We take a look to see what this rifle can do. Kel-tec’s Sport Utility 16 (SU-16) rifle is an odd compromise. Designed to compete with budget AR-15, the rifle features a highly similar layout to the AR, but an AK-like operating system that uses a long-stroke gas piston and a charging handle integrated on the bolt carrier group. The recoil spring is placed in front of the bolt carrier group on the gas piston itself, which allows the rifle to fold to be more compact. But are these design changes actually an improvement? In short, no. While placing the ... more »
Nazi Germany Had A Plan To Win World War II: Kill These 3 People
*Warfare History Network* *Security, * A wild plan. *Key point: *An assassination attempt on world leaders meeting in Iran would have changed history. In German it was called Operation Rösselsprung, which translates to “Long Jump.” Its goal was to kill or kidnap the Allies’ “Big Three” leaders––Soviet Premier Josef Stalin, British Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill, and American President Franklin D. Roosevelt—when they met in Tehran, Iran, in November 1943. That the plan did not succeed is attributable to smart intelligence work, a drunken disclosure, and a bit of good luck. ... more »

Modern Philosophers Versus Past Philosophers
Among modern philosophers, who are inspired by the Enlightenment doctrine, we find a tendency to depict the classical and medieval thinkers as exotic, obsolete, and tradition-bound creatures who are incapable of looking beyond the concerns of the small city-states in which they existed. But this viewpoint is largely incorrect. The classical and medieval thinkers, most of them, were rational agents; they had an objective view of the world—they gave birth to the ideas which are the fountainhead of modern science, technology, and politics. The philosophy that we have today is largely c... more »

a stitch in timelessness
* Why *continue the argument? Each one having a right to his own opinion, let us discuss another avenue. For by another avenue, an approach to God or to art or to science we may come to a point of agreement. Not as compromise but as agreement do we build the kingdom of God. Thus we find the fundamental points of agreement and build on these. Whenever there is agreement in a principle of God a nucleus is formed--a bond of love. And that bond of love actually begins to consume the area of disagreement and error which may be in the mind of your friend or may be in your own mind... more »
