Doctors Look At Trump... Oy
Trump made a sudden, unscheduled visit to Walter Reed Hospital last weekend. He looked sick and on death's door as he climbed into the White House SUV. Even though he still isn't dead, Chuck Todd and his *Meet The Press* team reported yesterday that 8 weeks of impeachment, with one bombshell revelation after another, has taken a toll on Trump. He's tweeting more than usual and crazier and more inflammatorily than usual and he's lying more than usual. And in the middle of it all, he's lost both legislative chambers in Virginia and the governors' mansions in two super-red states--... more »

Why Nazi Germany's Maus Super Tank Was a Mistake
*Robert Beckhusen* *History, Europe* [image: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/711R3YWnLeL._SL1500_.jpg] A wonder weapon goes bust. *Key point: *Another expensive and huge weapon wasn't going to win the war for Berlin. By the time the super-heavy Maus tank rolled out for its first tests in January 1944, the Nazis had — six months after Kursk — effectively lost the war. It was just a matter of time before the Allied armies would slog their way into the heart of Germany and finish them off.

On The Five Abused Words
The five words—“reason,” “atheism,” “rights,” “liberty,” and “enlightenment”—have been strangely abused in the last 250 years by philosophers and politicians to create hopelessly ramshackle movements which are logically indefensible and without any vestige of validity. The political projects developed by intertwining these words have caused unimaginable destruction in several nations—yet the vision continues to achieve an apotheosis in people’s minds because they are mesmerized by the idea of an earthly heaven.
House Orders Pentagon to say if it Weaponized Ticks and Released Them
The House quietly voted last week to require the Pentagon inspector general to tell Congress whether the department experimented with weaponizing disease-carrying insects and whether they were released into the public realm — either accidentally or on purpose.

The amendment, by New Jersey Republican Christopher H. Smith, says the inspector general “shall conduct a review of whether the ... more »

A Lack of Money Will Stop Russia from Building More Stealth Fighters

But buying into the Su-57 program won’t magically solve the program’s problems. The Su-57 is an immature design whose production line is small and inefficient. That won’t quickly or cheaply change.

A Guest Post By Mike Lux: The Heart Of The Matter In The Democratic Debate
American politics has turned very strange. Of course, much of the reason for that is the truly weird person occupying the White House (and yeah, he’s also corrupt and downright evil, but you can’t deny, he’s just plain weird, too). But it’s definitely not just Trump. Republican sycophancy is at a historic high, and this cycle’s Democratic presidential primary gets pretty high marks for strangeness, too. On the one hand Democrats are 100% fervently united on beating Trump; on the other hand there’s this Grand Canyon like division in the soul of the party, and record setting levels o... more »
