The Capitol Insurrection Challenged how US Media Frames Unrest
Danielle K. Kilgo, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Danielle K. Kilgo* *Media, The Americas* Typically news coverage pays more attention to disruptive tactics than to the aims of protesters, especially when it comes to anti-Black racism protests or action that radically challenges the status quo. The chaos at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday wasn’t typical. Nor was the coverage. Footage carried live by cable news and clips and photos shared across social media were jolting. One image showed a man who had broken into the building sitting in a chair, foot on desk, in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office. A video clip showed a crowd ch...
Why Do Political Elites Repeat Social Media Misinformation?
Will Duffield, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Will Duffield* *Politics, United States* Hint: it isn't just the platforms that need fixing. Twitter responded to the Capitol riot by, in a first for the platform, removing two of President Trump’s tweets and imposing a 24‐​hour ban on his account. Facebook followed suit, first banning the president from posting for the next day, and then banning him until he leaves office, while Snapchat indefinitely locked his account. At this point, however, their decisions are mostly a symbolic gesture. While the president has tweeted false claims of election fraud since November and had po...
What Is a Combatant Command?
Theo Dyssean, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Theo Dyssean* *Security, Americas* Also known as a unified combatant command, or COCOM, these commands are the highest possible echelon of military command. It seems a rather odd term for a command in the military — an organization based around combat — to be specifically labeled as a “combatant” command. But that’s exactly what one of the highest levels of command in the military is called. What is a combatant command? How many are there? Where are they located? What do they do? Well, I’m glad you asked… Also known as a unified combatant command, or COCOM, these commands are t...

Patrick G. Eddington, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Patrick G. Eddington* *Politics, United States* Its the equivalent of using a sledgehammer to hammer down a nail. In Washington, the sequence leading to bad legislative and policy outcomes in the wake of a crisis is a familiar one. Phase 1 is The Event. Almost 20 years ago, it was the 9/11 attacks, which gave us, among other things, in Phase 2—The Overreaction—the abominable and ineffectual PATRIOT Act and eventually the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) and it’s now‐​infamous “No Fly” list, which has repeatedly snared completely innocent people—including the late Senator Ted...

“655 People have $4 Trillion in Wealth. 200 Million Can’t Cover a $1000 Expense”
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 21 hours ago
*“655 People have $4 Trillion in Wealth. * *200 Million Can’t Cover a $1000 Expense”* by Michael Snyder "The COVID pandemic has caused the gap between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of us to grow larger than it ever has been before. Thanks to the hyperinflationary policies of the Federal Reserve and our politicians in Washington, stock prices have soared to unprecedented heights in recent months. This pushed the wealth of the uber-rich to dizzying heights, but for the rest of the country 2020 was an unmitigated nightmare. As I have discussed previously, one survey found that 2020 wa...

‘Better chance of finding a unicorn’: Pompeo says no chance of US establishing relations with Iran
[image: ‘Better chance of finding a unicorn’: Pompeo says no chance of US establishing relations with Iran] The Trump administration abandoned the hard-negotiated Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and re-introduced hefty sanctions against Tehran, threatening to punish any country for continuing to do business with the Islamic Republic. Washington’s policy was heavily criticised by other signatories to the deal and led to Iran ramping up its uranium enrichment. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has started a thread of messages on Twitter devoted to the Trump administration’s efforts directed...

Joint Chiefs call riot a ‘direct assault’ on the constitutional process, affirm Biden as next commander in chief
Bob Dinn, balance10 - 23 hours ago
the Latin maxim *semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit*, a translation of which is: "the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges.” *Onus probandi incumbit ei qui dicit, non ei qui negat*) is the obligation on a party in a dispute to provide sufficient warrant for their position. One way in which one would attempt to shift the burden of proof is by committing a logical fallacy known as the argument from ignorance. It occurs when either a proposition is assumed to be true because it has not yet been proven false or a proposition is assumed to ...

The defining image of the storming of the US Capitol on January 6 was undoubtedly that of a bare-chested man posing resplendent in a horned fur hat and face paint. Images of him in his weird costume have been shared across the globe – he seems to perfectly encapsulate the absurdity of the mob takeover of ...

This *dharma *is the power and duty of the kshatriya class (ruling class) and hence there is nothing better than *dharma*.

Why Russian Navy Ships Made a Pitstop in Greece
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Peter Suciu* *Russia, Eurasia* The Russian warships will reportedly stay at the Greek port for three days, and this marks the fourth country that the large anti-submarine warship ship has visited during its long-distance Mediterranean deployment. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The *Vice-Admiral Kulakov* is currently operational in the ASW Brigade of the Northern Fleet’s Kola Flotilla of All-Arms Forces based in Severomorsk.

Battleship Cove: Massachusetts Is Home To a Priceless Floating Museum Complex

*Warfare History Network* *History, Americas* Massachusetts’ Battleship Cove is a fitting tribute to U.S. Navy sailors. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Battleship Cove bills itself as "the world’s largest naval ship museum." Many associate Massachusetts with the Kennedy family, and its influence is evident at Battleship Cove. The World War II record of the Kennedys is a distinguished one. Lieutenant John F. Kennedy, who would later become president, was nearly killed fighting the Japanese in the South Pacific. Fittingly, an exhibition hall holds two PT boat specimens. *PT 617*, t...

*Peter Suciu* *F-35, Americas* It wouldn’t be the first time that the F-35 has seen delays. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A full-rate production will be the final seal of approval from the DoD to American taxpayers as well as foreign customers that the fifth-generation advanced stealth jet fighter has been fully tested. More importantly, this approval would mean the aircraft has been deemed effective against threats from potential peer adversaries, while it is also able to meet its maintenance goals and production quotas.

Francis Menton, Manhattan Contrarian - 1 day ago
* For the past four years, the Republicans have held voting control of the U.S. Senate, but by very narrow margins. * Since 2017, the Republicans have had either 51, 52 or 53 seats, out of 100, at various times. That has meant that on any given vote, a handful of Republican defectors would be sufficient to sink whatever initiative was on the table. And thus a very small group of independent-minded Republican Senators — most prominently, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, and (until his death in 2018) John McCain of Arizona — held the keys to any R...

Donald Trump deserted by corporate funders now regulations are gutted and tax breaks banked
Elizabeth Minter, Michael West - 1 day ago
[image: Corporate America Donald Trump's enablers] Corporate America is frantically distancing itself from Donald Trump in the dying days of his presidency after spending four years financing him, enjoying his tax giveaways, his attacks on workers and gutting of regulations to fatten corporate profits. Elizabeth Minter reports on the rank hypocrisy, even extending to Scott Morrison's top adviser on Covid-19 economic recovery.
The "Constitutional Crisis" Has Finally Arrived
Sandy Levinson, Balkinization - 12 hours ago
In 2009, Jack Balkin and I published an article in the *University of Pennsylvania Law Review *on “constitutional crises.” Drawing on Machiavelli’s analysis of the ancient Roman constitution, we identified two basic forms of crisis. The first occurred when a political leader openly defied the law; the second, on the other hand, was typified by an almost thoughtless adherence to the law even when catastrophe threatened. As a matter of fact, American presidents—our main interest—have rarely if ever done the first. Abraham Lincoln came close during the Civil War, but he always prese...

But to begin by plunging into an abyss of uncertainty, does it not mean being a stone on the neck of one's fellow? 232. It is impossible to avoid decomposition once begun.

A Non-Profit Tested Best Selling Pizza Chains for Gyphosate Residues. One Company Tested Far Worse Than the Others
Nick Meyer, AltHealthWorks.com - 1 day ago
The pizza industry is not exactly home to the best quality ingredients by a long shot, especially when it comes to chain restaurants. While smaller mom-and-pop pizza chains are generally more likely to use high quality non-GMO ingredients from small, local food producers, the big guys on the block are notorious for products containing GMO soybean oil, cheese from cows fed genetically engineered grains, preservatives, additives, and much more. The one pizza chain that claims, at least in its advertising, to have a higher standard ingredients is pretty well known among pizza afi...
