WHY THE REPUBLICAN TAX PLAN IS MORE FAILED TRICKLE-DOWN...

Robert Reich - 7 hours ago
*WHY THE REPUBLICAN TAX PLAN IS MORE FAILED TRICKLE-DOWN ECONOMICS** Trump and conservatives in Congress are planning a big tax cut for millionaires and billionaires. To justify it they’re using the oldest song in their playbook, claiming tax cuts on the rich will trickle down to working families in the form of stronger economic growth. Baloney. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke. Just look at the evidence: 1.* Clinton’s tax increase on the rich hardly stalled the economy.* In 1993, Bill Clinton raised taxes on top earners from 31 percent to 39.6 percent.

*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* And Japan launched it. *Could the bear and the tiger coexist? Negotiations had been underway since 1903 between St. Petersburg and Tokyo, with Japan offering to recognize Russian control of Manchuria if Russia recognized Japan's control of Korea.

This Was Russia's Secret Plan to Build a 'Space Cannon' to Fight America

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 12 hours ago

"The trajectory of the fired shell would be curved, based on gravity (same as on Earth), so the aiming mechanism would have to account for this, along with the great speeds of the Almaz spacecraft and the target," he tells the The National Interest. In addition, destroying a high-speed anti-space weapon at close range might have resulted in Almaz being hit by fast d... more »

The Operational Code of President Trump

Paul R. Pillar at The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Paul R. Pillar* *Iran Presidency, Middle East United States* Press reports indicate that later this week President Trump will “decertify” the nuclear agreement known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), relying on a clause in the relevant review legislation that permits the president to make such a declaration even if Iran is fully complying with the accord. That Trump has decided on this course has nothing to do with the terms of the JCPOA, with Iran, or with Iranian actions; he has not advanced a convincing case, or even a coherent argument, as to how those cons... more »
