REUTERS/Carl Recine] Qualified immunity doctrine has reached the point where a police officer could be criminally convicted of murder, but where the victim’s family would still be unable to get damages in a civil suit, just because no court had previously held that this particular kind of murder was unconstitutional.

While America Promotes Freedom and Human Rights Abroad, We Must Uphold Those Values at Home
*Lawrence J. Haas* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] China, Iran and others are using Washington's domestic upheaval as a line of attack. Iran is hosting an “I Can’t Breathe” international cartoon exhibition, with seventy-two pieces from twenty-seven countries, mocking America for its racial unrest and portraying its leaders and police as Nazis and Klan members. In China, officials are blasting America for its racism while the People’s Daily, the communist party’s official newspaper, ran a cartoon of a crumbling Statue of Liberty and a White House soaked in blood and tear g... more »
What Were Hitler's Last Moments Like?
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* [image: Hitler with generals at a briefing. 1940. German Federal Archives.] The Third Reich that Hitler boasted would last a thousand years ended in a series of dismal concrete rooms deep beneath the blazing ruins of Berlin where the madman took his own life. His world was literally crashing down in flames around him. Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich, which he had created out of nothing but his own will—an empire that he had once boasted would last for a millennium—was on fire and being torn apart by shot and shell, besieged on all sides. ... more »
Defund the Police? How About Defund Teachers Unions.
*Lindsey Burke* *Politics, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2008%3Anewsml_GM1E4770ODJ01&share=true] And how to do is is straight forward: Ultimately, it will take parents to defund the unions and the special interest groups that have stood in the way of education improvement for decades. Four months ago, few, if any, anticipated that the government would close down a large portion of the American economy. Yet state responses to the coronavirus pandemic did just that, shuttering stores, restaurants, schools, and sporting events. One mo... more »
This Russian MiG Was Built To Kill Supersonic Bombers (That Never Flew)
*Robert Farley* *Security, * It was designed to fight a bomber that never existed. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The Foxbat sought to answer the Soviet Union’s need to protect its airspace from fast, high-flying U.S. bombers. The most prominent example was the B-58 Hustler, a Mach-2-capable nuclear bomber that entered service in 1960, but on the horizon loomed the B-70 Valkyrie, a futuristic bomber capable of penetrating Soviet airspace at speeds in excess of Mach 3. *More From The National Interest: * *Yes, America Has a ‘Ninja’ Missile * *How China Could Sink a U.S. ... more »

Libya: rooting for Egypt to beat Turkey
Egyptian president al-Sisi has advertised his opinion that Egypt (Northeast of Africa) has the right to visit Libya, its Western neighbor, and bring order to the country (the most well-known temporary would-be government of Libya, GNA, seems unable to do the basic things, not to mention that they are Turkey-funded and UN-supported jihadists who deserve their 72 virgins to be shoved down their aß). Al-Sisi thinks that he has the support of many other countries. He surely has the support of your humble correspondent. Like in 2017, I believe that Egypt still enjoys the support of the Vi... more »
What We Have Learned
Robin Sears writes that COVID has taught us several lessons. Here are a few: First, it’s time to begin preparing for the next pandemic, now. We have had a virus attack emerge more than twice a decade since the turn of the century. Let’s never again enter the next one as shambolically as we did this. Better public health funding, regularly inspected and replaced PPE stockpiles, and public health classes for every elementary school student are a minimum. We have learned how scandalously we allowed our parents to be treated by some in the elder care industry. We treat cattle better t... more »
Why North Korea blew up the inter-Korean liaison office
Leaders of North and South Korea committed to refrain from provoking or threatening the other side. This presumably meant that the South Koreans would bring to a halt the war games they regularly conducted with the United States which the North Koreans regarded as dress-rehearsals for an invasion of their country. They also agreed to stop broadcasting propaganda through loudspeakers and through the distribution of leaflets, usually carried by balloons.

*Activist Academics Threaten the Integrity of Higher Ed* The rise of activist professors has shaped the culture in higher ed for decades. As activists have become more prominent, a familiar process has changed academic departments, pushing scholars out and replacing them with professors who think in political terms and prioritize social change. A new Martin Center policy brief, ‘Witches’ and ‘Viruses:’ The Activist-Academic Threat and a Policy Response, looks at that process and how activists conceive of their project.
