Have Iraq’s Protests Reached A Tipping Point?

Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 11 hours ago
(AFP) Protests continued across Baghdad and southern Iraq. Some of the political class and Grand Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani made statements about reforms and having the government resign. However they didn’t seem to be enough as calls for revolution were being heard more and more. The demonstrations could be reaching the point where they will not accept anything less than radical change, which the ruling elite are incapable of delivering. That means only force will quell them, and that’s already being used more and more by the authorities. Baghdad continued to have the largest and m... more »

In Terms Of Congressional Races, Will Texas Be The Democrats' California Of 2020? Or Will The DCCC Screw It Up Again Like They Did Last Year?

*Who'll be the next Texas Republican to raise the white flag and skedaddle?* Last cycle, House Democrats elected Ted Lieu to run the DCCC operations on the West Coast. Ted's success was beyond anyone's dreams. He helped-- *really* helped-- 7 Democrats win Republican seats in California and one in Washington. He also began the process of taking back CA-50 in San Diego County and CA-01 in the northwest corner of the state (despite the DCCC's Washington "leadership" reticence to get involved in either race).

The worry is real, but the Court can easily respond to it. Title VII already permits religious associations, corpora... more »

The successful occupation of the island by American forces would provide air bases and naval facilities that would allow for attacks on the Home Islands themselves.

Population Replacement: As Migrants Swamp Sweden, Swedes Start Fleeing

Selwyn Duke at rss - 12 hours ago
[image: population-replacement-as-migrants-swamp-sweden-swedes-start-fleeing] One might say something here about the “best laid plans of mice and men,” except that there was nothing well conceived about Europe’s recent years’ admittance of waves of Muslim migrants. Just consider Sweden, which had led the world in absorbing the most migrants per capita (and in value signaling) and now finds that, sometimes, when you lead you bleed. And some Swedish cities — and to an extent the nation itself — are now bleeding native Swedes as they flee migrant-born crime and social ills.

This article is a second piece focusing on Belmarsh prison, where the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, continues to be arbitrarily detained by the British government. The first part showed how Belmarsh prison has been systematically denying Assange access to justice by restricting all the means through which he could prepare his defence; access to and possession of legal documents, talking to his US lawyers, restricted meetings with his UK lawyers, and access to a laptop as a basic means to prepare his defence.

Kel-Tec’s Sub 2000 'Folding Gun': Just How Good Is It?

Charlie Gao at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, * A niche firearm for sure. Just how practical is it in the real world? Kel-Tec’s Sub 2000 is one of the only “folding” firearms on the U.S. market today. Designed to be a compact pistol-caliber carbine with a long barrel, the Sub 2000’s main selling point is that it folds in half for transit and storage, allowing it to easily fit into a backpack or similar storage case. But as other pistol caliber carbines get smaller and smaller, is the Sub2000 still relevant? When the Sub 2000 was originally introduced in 2001, pistol caliber carbines (PCCs) were st... more »

Iran Has Lots of Ways to Kill An Air Force (Thanks to Russia and China)

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Middle East* But can Tehran go head to head against U.S. stealth weapons like the F-22 or B-2 bomber? Iran’s military planners face an unenviable military challenge: preparing defenses against air attacks from the most formidable air forces on the planet. The once-formidable Iranian Air Force, starved of spare parts for its 1970s-era American-built fighters, is unlikely to effectively challenge U.S. air superiority. Instead, Iran has doubled down on a diverse array of surface-to-air missile (SAMs) systems in its Air Defense Force (IRIADF) as well a... more »

On John Galt’s “Arrested Mind”

John Galt, the protagonist in Ayn Rand’s dystopian novel *Atlas Shrugged*, is a man of “arrested mind.” When he makes an appearance in the novel, he is at the peak of his intellectual abilities. In the novel there is not a single instance of him learning anything new; Rand portrays him as a man who knows everything that is worth knowing—he never changes his mind; he never introspects and never has a doubt. He never confronts a contradiction; every sentence that he speaks is perfect; every choice that he makes is the right one. He represents Rand’s notion of the ideal man. Rand model... more »

Marcus Hellyer at The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Marcus Hellyer* *Security, Asia* Could tankers solve the issue for one of America's most important allies? *Key point: *The F-35 is an excellent plane but doesn’t have much range without aerial refueling. In part 1, I examined the hard limits on the F-35A’s unrefuelled range. Air-to-air refuelling can certainly help extend it. Tankers can substantially increase fighters’ time on station (that is, how long they can stay out). But they can’t extend the jets’ combat range indefinitely. There are several reasons for this. The first is that generally pilots want to have enough fuel ... more »

Kel-Tec PF9: The Best Ultra-Light 9mm? (Better Than a Glock 43?)

Charlie Gao at The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, * You decide. The world of thin subcompact 9x19mms is one of the most rapidly expanding sections of the gun industry. Most major manufacturers have a thin subcompact 9mm in their inventory. But in the early 2000s, there was not nearly as much variety. Kel-tec released one of the first ultra-thin and ultra-light 9mms in 2006 in their PF9. But in 2019 how does one of the original subcompacts stack up? In short, not well at all. While Kel-tec’s PF9 is incredibly light and thin, it acquires those characteristics to the detriment of its reliability, “shoot... more »

B-2, 1940s Style: Northrop YB-49 "Flying Wing" Bomber Was Too Advanced

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 14 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, * But it led to something better. *Key point: *Technological innovations epitomize American military might. As the United States approached World War II, it enjoyed the luxury of many innovative aircraft companies, and a ton of money to spend. Part of this bounty went to pursuit aircraft, part to tactical attack planes, and part to long-range bombers. This last generated one of the most interesting failures ever to emerge from the U.S. aviation industry; the Northrop YB-49 “flying wing” bomber. *The Flying Wing* Early aviation engineers appreciated t... more »
