Russia bashing is 'good politics' in America.....
Pushback with Aaron Maté At the impeachment trial of Donald Trump, chief Democratic prosecutor Adam Schiff has claimed that the US is arming Ukraine "so that we can fight Russia over there so we don’t have to fight Russia here" and called Russia a "wounded, dangerous animal." During his presentation Rep. Schiff (D-CA) states that 15,000 people have been killed during the Ukrainian civil war that has largely been orchestrated by the US and NATO. He strong infers that Russia killed those people. In fact the vast majority of the victims are Ukrainian Russian-speaking citizens livi... more »
Will The 3 Worst Democrats In The Senate Vote To Acquit Trump? They Want To
*Cover-Up by Nancy Ohanian* With the vast majority of registered voters-- including *Republican* voters-- saying a fair trial includes calling witnesses, it's going to be very costly for Republican incumbents up for reelection to vote against calling at least Bolton. The new Quinnipiac poll shows that 75% of voters want to see witnesses called and only 20% oppose that. Even among Republican voters, 49% want witnesses and just 43% are happy with a coverup. Among independent voters, 75% want witnesses called and just 18% agree with Moscow Mitch that there should be no witnesses. It d... more »

China's New Anti-Stealth Radar Could Mean Big Trouble For America's F-22 Raptor
*Michael Peck* *Security, * How well does it work? *Key Point:* Stealth aircraft are shaped to avoid detection by high-frequency beams. In addition, it also functions as a fire control radar that can guide missiles toward stealthy jets like the F-35. “Meter wave radar can be deployed on vehicles, on land and warships, creating a dense web that gives hostile stealth aircraft nowhere to hide,” said China’s Global Times. Chinese scientists say they have solved a fundamental dilemma inherent to radar. High-frequency radars, such as microwave radars, emit a lot of short pulses that... more »

New coronavirus is effectively just a new disease between common flu and SARS
Six days ago, I wrote a text titled I don't believe that this coronavirus is new. My reasoning was simple: that statement about the "age in weeks" depended on the assumption that all infections are mapped quickly which seems implausible. And indeed, a few days later, a Lancet study was advertised that said that the virus is from October or older. I would guess it's even older but my certainty about such claims decreases as you increase the proposed age. Respiratory illnesses apparently existed in the 1980s, even in songs LOL.

If the Navy does take the railgun out to sea on a fast transport, it will be in 2017 at the earliest.
