But within weeks of Einstein’s arrival, the German government canceled plans for the Institute; World War I had broken out, and all of Europe was gearing up for one of the bloodie... more »

There Is No Running From The Army's New Hypersonic Weapon
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * The United States Navy and Army are working together to develop and eventually field a hypersonic glide body in the early- to mid-2020s. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *One of the advantages of a conventionally-armed hypersonic missile capability would be to reduce the use of nuclear weapons in the event of a conflict.

*Caleb Larson* *Security, * It will be faster than anything you've ever seen. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Although not much is known about the Blackbird successor, Lockheed Martin press releases indicate that the airframe would use elements of both a scramjet and turbine engine to achieve Mach 5+ speeds. The SR-72 will apparently be roughly the same size as the SR-71 and could fly around sometime in the late 2020s.

Is Trump Right? Did We Really Make a Mistake Opening Up To Trade With China?
*James Pethokoukis* *Politics, Asia* It’s not all about what America did. China’s own reforms greatly improved its competitiveness, including privatizations and import liberalization. What do nationalist populists think was elite, globalist America’s original sin? The Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 and the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement are strong candidates. But just as bad, maybe even worse, in their view was the US–China Relations Act of 2000 that granted China “permanent normal trade relations” and helped usher it into the World Trade Organization.

Covid-19 would be #13 on this list…
I have too much time on my hands. I was wondering what the current fiasco (covid-19) would rank on the “odds of dying” table published by the National Safety Council. I checked with Worldometer.com and got the latest data on “Total Deaths” for the US, and the population figure from the same site. I then calculated the ratio of deaths per capita, and came up with a rounded off number of 0.0005, which is, again, rounded off (by me) to be 5 in 10,000, or 1 in 2,000. This 1 in 2,000 is the number that I compared to the … Continue reading →

On Jeremy Corbyn's Defence Fund
14.1k donors. £255,233 raised. Not bad for a few days work. The announcement from *Panorama* journalist John Ware that he intended to pursue Jeremy Corbyn and others for defamation has certainly provoked a reaction. Should Ware decide to see his tough words through, the monies raised on Corbyn's behalf can easily afford him half-decent counsel. Facing a defence fund of this size, perhaps the writ will not be forthcoming after all. This talk of taking legal action is another episode in the hounding of Jeremy Corbyn, of which there has been no let up since relinquishing the Labour ... more »
