Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Much is being made in the corporate media about Comrade Trump's new addition to his line of merchandise swag, i.e. his "Read The Transcript" t-shirts so it was only natural and righteous that patriotic, sensible Americans would want to counter Trump with t-shirts emblazoned with "I Read The Transcript." See above. On Friday night, Chris Hayes did a fine segment on the issue. Trump's approach is that if he claims that there is nothing wrong with his Ukrainian phone call, typically robotic Republicans will accept his claim at face value, as fact, just like they always do. ... more »

Conflict Resolution: How History Addressed the Racism Baked into The GI Bill
*Joseph Thompson* *History, Americas* [image: Reuters] Black servicemen from WWII faced limited options and denial as they sought GI benefits after the war. When President Franklin Roosevelt signed the GI Bill into law on June 22, 1944, it laid the foundation for benefits that would help generations of veterans achieve social mobility. Formally known as the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, the bill made unprecedented commitments to the nation’s veterans. For instance, it provided federal assistance to veterans in the form of housing and unemployment benefits. But of all th... more »
Spiro Agnew Was Donald Trump Before Donald Trump
*Thomas Alan Schwartz* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Agnew demonstrated the vulnerability of mass media to populist attacks, firing some of the first shots in a culture war that persists to this day. Americans witnessed an unprecedented event 50 years ago: live television coverage on all three national networks of a speech by the vice president of the United States. Speeches by vice presidents never received such attention. But the address on Nov. 13, 1969, by Vice President Spiro T. Agnew to the Midwest Regional Republican Committee Meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, blandly ... more »
Could The Latest Threat To America's Aircraft Carriers Be From A Russian Anti-Tank Missile?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * New analysis sheds some light. *Key point: *Kornets are the least of a carrier's worries. Could Russian Kornet Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) *attack* the USS *Abraham Lincoln*, a *Nimitz*-class aircraft carrier? Using limited analysis of the capabilities of the Kornet and the carrier’s defensive capabilities, Mark Langfan, the Chairman of Americans for a Safe Israel, has come to the conclusion that Kornets were a serious threat to the carrier. However, Langfan’s research misrepresents many aspects of the Kornet and displays a large oversight of ma... more »
Sig Sauer's P220 Gun Is Old, But It Is Certainly Not Dead
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * The first truly modern SIG pistol. *Key point: *SIG's P220 may still prove to be popular commercially for those who want a traditional double action/single action in a powerful caliber. In 1975, Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) released the P220, their first truly modern pistol. It would be the pistol the first pistol to see significant export success, and it would lead to the creation of their successor businesses, Sig Sauer GmbH and Sig Sauer, Inc. In 1975, the P220 was fairly revolutionary. Designed to reduce cost, the pistol was meant t... more »
The U.S. Navy Is Powerful, But Russia's Rifles Can Shoot Underwater
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * And its special forces know how to use them. *Key point: *America has never fielded an underwater assault rifle, but Russia has. The widespread use of combat divers, more commonly known as frogmen, led to the inevitable question: how do frogmen from opposing sides kill each other when they meet underwater? In response, during the 1970s the Soviet Union developed an underwater assault rifle, the APS, that is still used by Russia today. The unusual-looking weapon is so uniquely suited to fighting under the surface of the waves it rapidly degrades if us... more »
America's Special Forces Could Soon Be Armed With Sig Sauer's MCX Rattler
*Matthew Moss* *Security, * How it beat the competition. *Key point: *It all began with a request from SOCOM. Hot off its new contract with the U.S. Army, Sig Sauer has unveiled a new compact carbine which the company claims is its most “discreet platform” ever: the MCX Rattler. The Rattler, a compact personal defense weapon built at the request of “elite military units,” is based on the Sig Sauer’s popular line of MCX gas-operated piston AR-15-style rifles. But MCX has the benefit of not needing a buffer tube in the stock like a conventional AR-15, allowing the rifle to host a... more »

This Is How Historians Predicted the Failure of Democracy
*Lawrence Torcello* *Politics, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] At the dawn of democracy, Plato foresaw an unfortunate end. Plato, one of the earliest thinkers and writers about democracy, predicted that letting people govern themselves would eventually lead the masses to support the rule of tyrants.

But looking at the modern political world, it seems much less far-fetched to me now. In democratic na... more »
