Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* It's been a tough week for Republicans. Polishing their orange turd of a president isn't easy. They're so besotted that they can't even recognize that that's what they're doing. They love the man so much. They try and they try and they try to please him. They are so devoted and worshipful of dear leader yet, for all their efforts, they are getting nowhere, treading water in a river current that threatens to carry them away, over the falls to the rocks below. At this point, they can still count on Moscow Mitch and his fellow Russian wannabes to keep the great orange tumo... more »
A simple explanation of the new climate science,
by Dr Ed Berry LINK Climate Truth New calculations prove all human CO2 emitted since 1750 has added only 31 ppm (parts per million) of CO2 to the atmosphere, and natural CO2 has added 100 ppm. All human carbon has added only one per cent to the carbon in Earth’s carbon cycle. Nature has added much more carbon to the carbon cycle than humans have added. The new calculations use data from the United Nations *Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change* (IPCC). IPCC claims the CO2 level was 280 ppm in 1750, and human CO2 added the 131 ppm to get today’s 411 ppm. But IPCC’s calculations ar... more »
Oh dear
*Have I Got News For You* actually made a joke about Labour last night, and guess what? Yes, the pro-Corbyn crazies on Twitter went mad, accusing the programme of having made a racist attack on Diane Abbott. Of course, the programme was actually making a joke about Diane Abbott's famous inability to get numbers right. Anyhow, here's a sample of the madness to brighten up your Saturday morning: - David Mitchell, I was astonished at your not very well disguised racist attack on Diane Abbott on #HIGNFY. - WTF is the matter with these so called alternative comedians they ar... more »
Romaine outbreak No. 5 met with ‘frustration and heartbreak” by Salinas growers for those infected

YOUR SATURDAY CARTOONS:#IMPEACHMENT NONSENSE: NOVEMBER 23, 2019
So very tired of this farce. I am wondering if, besides being a sad attack on the President, it is also a diversion from other pressing issues. The situation in Mexico comes to mind. Cartels are completely taking over everything which could cause many more border problems as time passes. Yet no one ever discusses Obama and Holder's Fast and Furious situation that armed them so well. David Dees has published a new book, #4, currently on sale just in time for December gifting. Great trade! Someone is straightening out their priorities. Oh, yeah! ... more »

Inside China's "People's War" Plan for the South China Sea
*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* Unstoppable? *Key point:* China is rushing ahead with preparations to ensure it would gain the upper hand in any armed conflict over its territorial claims. Last year China’s defense minister, *General Chang Wanquan*,* implored the nation to ready itself for a “people’s war at sea*.” The purpose of such a campaign?

Why Putin Ordered Half Of Russia's Elite Stealth Su-57s Into The Sky

*James Holmes* *Security, Asia* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/BRITAIN-USA-AIRCRAFT-RC1F4ED44030.html] But let's hope that never happens. *Key point:* The Navy has many options, but the Admirals know that they all come at a cost. How can the U.S. Navy destroy North Korea should Washington give the word? It can’t. Or at least it stands little chance of doing so by its lonesome barring improbable circumstances. What the navy can do is contribute to a joint or multinational campaign that destroys the Northern regime or its armed forces. But even that would involve pe... more »

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 »

*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.

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. Sig Sauer’s P-320 pistol is enjoying a considerable streak of publicity, in large part due to the U.S. Army’s adoption of the it as the service’s new handgun. 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.

"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.
