A Conservative View Of The 2020 Open Seat Congressional Elections-- Trump's Toxicity Is Going To Cost A LOT Of Republicans Their Congressional Seats
The November Emerson poll was released yesterday. The polling shows Bernie and Status Quo Joe tied for first place in the Democratic Primary, with only Elizabeth Warren as another viable candidate. Bloomberg shows up at 1% and Deval Patrick shows up at 0%, tied with Delaney, Bullock and poor Michael Bennet, an unpopular conservative Colorado senator, who is likely to have a very hard time being reelected in 2022. And despite Status Quo Joe's empty and pathetic braggadocio at the debate Wednesday night, this particular poll shows Bernie as the only Democrat beating Trump in a he... more »

Operation Aphrodite: America's World War II Experiment with B-17 Suicide Drones
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/NASCAR--GM1E65V0I9Z01.html] Some history that is not widely known--until now. *Key point: *Even as early as the 1940s many countries were experimenting with what are today called drones. When it came to advanced military technology in World War II, arguably no one was better at it than Nazi Germany, whose scientists Adolf Hitler keep busy trying to invent the ultimate “super weapon” capable of defeating his enemies. For a while, it seemed that Germany might just succeed. After all, it was ... more »
The Army Loves It: Is Sig Sauer's P-320 X-Carry Gun Really That Good?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Europe* [image: https://www.sigsauer.com/products/firearms/pistols/p320/] Let's take a look. *Key point:* The X-Carry is a good weapon and was recently adopted by the Danish military.

One new variant of the rapidly growing P-320 line is the X-Carry, a compact handgun designed for concealed carriers and those that want smaller firearms with the handling qualities of full-sized pistols.

Nazi Germany's MG 42 Machine Gun: The Deadliest Of All-Time?

"A Perpetual Illusion..."
"Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion; men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit; few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion. Man is then only disguise, falsehood, and hypocrisy, both in himself and in regard to others. He does not wish any one to tell him the truth; he avoids telling it to others, and all these dispositions, so removed from justice and reason, have a natura... more »

All philosophical movements lead to disillusionment in men who possess a brain that is capable of doing what it’s supposed to do: Think. The philosophical movements are energized by the claim that they have discovered the answers to the ultimate philosophical problems.
