The Report, Episode Fourteen: The Fixer Flips
Source: Goat Rodeo Today, we released the fourteenth episode of *Lawfare*’s narrative audio documentary, The Report, which recounts the story Robert Mueller lays out in his 448-page report. This episode, the second to last, charts the evolution of the president’s relationship with his former personal attorney and “fixer” Michael Cohen. When Cohen finds himself in hot water, Trump’s confidants reach out to him to let him know that “the boss loves you” and to keep him on the team.

America's Crazy Plan To Build A True "Flying" Aircraft Carrier
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Innovations often start with strange and risky ideas. *Key point: *Twice as fast as typical surface ships. Nearly a hundred years ago the U.S. Navy asked a question: if airplanes can fly through the air, why couldn’t a vessel carrying them fly through the air as well? The result was the Akron-class airships, the only flying aircraft carriers put into service in any country. Although promising, a pair of accidents—prompted by the airship’s limitations—destroyed the flying carrier fleet and ended development of the entire concept. The Akron-class airsh... more »
China's Efforts to Diplomatically Isolate Taiwan Could Backfire
*David Sacks* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] While Beijing’s efforts to peel away Taiwan’s diplomatic allies may provide a short-term boost to China’s leadership, this strategy actually hurts China’s long-term interests. China has renewed its diplomatic offensive to poach Taiwan’s remaining diplomatic allies, reasoning that by doing so it can turn up the pressure on Taiwan’s president Tsai Ing-wen as she heads into a reelection race, increase Taiwan’s international isolation and create headaches for the United States. China, however, is miscalculating. While Beijing’s efforts ... more »
The Afghanistan Withdrawal Will Make Syria’s Seem Orderly
*Michael Rubin* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] Trump is right to recognize that Americans are tired of “endless wars.” But withdrawing from Afghanistan without a workable solution will mean the country will fall to the Taliban all over again. The recent Herat Security Dialogue, Afghanistan’s premier strategic forum, is the only place where the Afghan government, representatives or proxies for the Taliban, Iranians, Russians, Pakistanis, Indians and Americans come together. Unfortunately, the U.S. embassy’s refusal to attend the Dialogue’s events outside their own isolat... more »

DeVos Honored By Prominent Dominionist Group
Dominionism argues that the US should be a literal Christian nation, its government run by Christians. It comes in varying degrees of severity, with varying amounts of nationalism mixed in. One of the major proponents of American (i.e. US) dominionism was D. James Kennedy, a minister and broadcaster in Florida. Sample quote: To be a true Christian citizen means to "take dominion over all things as vice-regents of God." Or there's this one: *Our job is to reclaim America for Christ, whatever the cost.

Impeachment: a good system isn't enough when the people suck
The Democratic majority in the Congress started the "impeachment probe" against Trump. The House voted 232-196 in favor of the terribly harmful move. All Republicans were against, along with two Democrats; the rest of Democrats was voting Yes. Sadly, even e.g. Tulsi Gabbard voted Yes. She previously fought against the impeachment and she has lost much of the credibility with me by this U-turn. This vote is already much more partisan than the 1998 impeachment vote against Bill Clinton. At that time, I was a fresh newcomer in the U.S. and – while feeling a bit closer to the GOP, of co... more »
