Ethics charges filed against Rand Paul
I am amazed at the audacity of the Lawfare group, who is reported to have filed charges in the Senate for mentioning the whistleblower’s name, except that he didn’t call out the whistleblower. He called out Shawn Misko and Eric Ciaramello. This is a post by the Gateway Pundit. The problem with this ethics charge is, Rand Paul asked his questions from the floor of the Senate. The U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 6 states “and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they (the Senators and representatives) shall not be questioned in any other place.” (Emphasis Mine.)

How China Will Use Its Social Credit System to Keep Control Over Its Military
*Meia Nouwens* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] A good idea? ‘If you’re a soldier in China, applying to leave the army is likely to leave a black mark on your social credit score.’ This was the striking opening line of a *Sixth Tone* article from April 2018 reposted on the Chinese military’s official website. The article was about the use of a social credit system by the People’s Liberation Army. However, it garnered surprisingly little attention for such a hot topic. Excellent research has already been done on the various prototype social credit systems in China, but a big gap... more »

Does the United Kingdom Have Enough Money for Its Carriers and Their Escorts?
*David Axe* *Economics, Europe* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC1D47AAAF10&share=true] There's trouble afoot lads. *Key point:* London wants to have it all, but it may not have the funds to maintain its navy. In fact, the cost of its carriers will make it harder to build other ships or acquire for jet fighters. The Royal Navy in late 2019 announced the composition of its first-ever aircraft carrier battle group. And it’s both good and bad news for the storied fleet.

However, they reached to far and failed to prepare for the German counter-offensive.

Step to Nuclear Doomsday: US Puts Low-Yield Nukes on Submarines in Response to Made-up Russian ‘Escalate to Deescalate’ Strategy
[image: undefined] The US has deployed “low-yield” nuclear missiles on submarines, saying it’s to discourage nuclear conflict with Russia. The move is based on a “Russian strategy” made up in Washington and will only bring mass annihilation closer. In a statement released earlier this week, US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy John Rood announced that “the US Navy has fielded the W76-2 low-yield submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM) warhead.” This new operational capability, Rood declared, “demonstrates to potential adversaries that there is no advantage to limited nuclea... more »

The United States almost immediately accused the Iran-backed Ketaib Hizbullah (KH) militia of responsibility. But Rubin quotes by name Brig. General Ahmed Adnan, the chief of intelligence for the Iraqi federal police at the same base, as saying, “All the indications are that it was Daesh” — that is, ISIS. She also presents con... more »

Billy Mitchell Redux: The Heavy Bomber is Returning as a Navy-Killer
*Sebastien Roblin* *Bomber, United States* Could these weapons of war become the real carrier-killer missiles? The highest-stake geopolitical clash taking place today is for control of the waters of the Asia-Pacific. Will China assert de facto dominion over large expanses of those waters thanks to its growing military power, and thus be positioned to dictate terms to states like Japan, Vietnam, and Australia? Or will the United States and its regional allies maintain a credible countervailing presence? In that context, the once-moribund strategic bomber—formerly seeming a vestig... more »
Why Russia’s Bastion-P Truck-Launched Anti-Ship Missiles Could Be a Real Killer
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Russia* Or not? One of the ubiquitous buzzwords in national security circles the last few years is “Anti-Access/Area Denial,” or A2/AD. This term-of-art refers to the capability of long-range missile systems fielded by China and Russia that could theoretically threaten vast swathes of territory, in theory denying access to those areas. One common focus of A2/AD anxiety concerns Russia’s Bastion-P mobile coastal defense systems (less impressively designated SS-C-5 Stooge by NATO), which can launch supersonic P-800 anti-ship missiles from a truck-ba... more »

Medicare for all will either require massive tax increases or provide worse care
There are Z people in America today who have health care. There are Y people in American today who don't have health care; some pay for that privilege thanks to Obama. If Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Buttigieg get their way the government will manage the health care of Z + Y people, and possibly all the illegal aliens.

How the #FakeNews media refuses to blame hedonism for STDs
People who are monogamous don't get STDs. People who are chaste before marriage and who stay faithful after marriage never get STDs. STDs are the result of significant promiscuity since STDs can't be spread without folks having sex with multiple partners. Essentially sex is to STDs what coughing in public without covering your mouth is to spreading the flu. Yet the LA Times blames racism and stigma not promiscuity. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/02/the-week-in-pictures-mega-trumpy-edition.phpThe reality is that if our culture attached a greater stigma to sex outside of... more »

“A silent look of affection and regard when all other eyes are turned coldly away - the consciousness that we possess the sympathy and affection of one being when all others have deserted us - is a hold, a stay, a comfort, in the deepest affliction, which no wealth could purchase, or power bestow.” - Charles Dickens
