How the 1952 Republican Primary Killed Offshore Balancing
*Franz-Stefan Gady* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Dwight D. Eisenhower’s victory in the 1952 Republican primary ended offshore balancing as an alternative to the bipartisan containment strategy and a more interventionist U.S. foreign policy. In a public letter to a New Hampshire newspaper in early 1948, General Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower, then Chief of Staff of the Army, poured cold water on the burgeoning movement, spearheaded by prominent U.S. citizens and politicians, to persuade the country’s most preeminent soldier to enter politics beginning with the state’s Republi... more »

One new study finds that it cannot be spread that way-at least, not directly. While kissing and other intimate activity associated with sex can absolutely lead to sprea... more »

Capitalism Is a Crime Against Nature
My daily after-work zen routine used to be to retreat to my own little backyard nature sanctuary and sit as still as a statue in order to get as close as possible to the birds flocking to the multiple feeders I'd placed on the branches of our overgrown pussywillow tree. One particularly fine afternoon as I was sitting and contemplating, a sudden shadow streaked across my peripheral vision. A hawk,with deadly and surgical and absolute lightning-speed silence, had swooped down and captured one of the hectoring bluejays fighting over sunflower seeds that had fallen to the ground.

This is Possibly the Worst Bomber Russia Ever Made
*Caleb Larson* *Technology, Europe* Why did it fail so badly? The Tu-22M proved itself as a capable bomber, but its predecessor—the ill-fated Tu-22—had a harder time.

It had two engines mounted above the fuselage near the tail assembly. The high placement of the engines complicated maintenance somewhat, as ground crews needed scaffolding to access the turbines. The Tu-22’s wings were highly swept, which gave the ... more »

On May 20, 1967, eight U.S. Air Force F-4C fighters were patrolling over North Vietnam when they spotted as many as 15 enemy MiG-17 fighters a short distance away.

Techno-Tyranny: How The US National Security State Is Using Coronavirus To Fulfill An Orwellian Vision
20 Apr 2020 Whitney Webb Last year, a government commission called for the US to adopt an AI-driven mass surveillance system far beyond that used in any other country in order to ensure American hegemony in artificial intelligence.

The data is in — stop the panic and end the total isolation
From The Hill by Dr, Scott Atlas: The tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be entering the containment phase. Tens of thousands of Americans have died, and Americans are now desperate for sensible policymakers who have the courage to ignore the panic and rely on facts. Leaders must examine accumulated data to see what has actually happened, rather than keep emphasizing hypothetical projections; combine that empirical evidence with fundamental principles of biology established for decades; and then thoughtfully restore the country to function. Five key facts are being ignored ... more »
"Fake news", caught in the act
The Gateway Pundit reports: Many of you have by now seen various photos of medical workers boldly standing in front of lock down protesters like they are in Tiananmen Square or something — but what the media hasn’t shown you is that the photos are being faked. In an instance of photo staging by the media caught on Facebook Live, a car with lock down protesters comes to a stop at a traffic light. As soon as they did, a medical worker hopped in front of their car with photographers, had a few photos snapped, then crossed the street like nothing happened. The woman filming the staged... more »

During Coronvrius: Cuba to the Rescue, But Don’t Tell the American people

#FakeNews media lies about Trump: disinfectant edition
The #FakeNews media is in the business of selling doom and despair and blaming Trump for everything because their only purpose in life is helping Joe Biden and other Democrats getting elected. At a news conference where Drs reported results of a study that showed that light, heat, and disinfectants can kill the China virus Trump speculated on how it would be great if we could some how get those agents in the human body in order to kill the virus.

"Turning and Churning"
*"Turning and Churning"* by Jim Kunstler "It’s one thing to get sandbagged by a public health crisis – a plague being about the worst kind – and quite another for an advanced, complex economy to fall away under your feet like a freight elevator that snapped its cables. The two are now linked in the public imagination, which naturally churns out narratives to serve the collective human craving for pattern recognition. “The news” is the net sum of all that, mixed with a lot of cognitive “noise.” Even highly intelligent people have a hard time sorting it out. The Internet is full of... more »
MI: Court Says Students Have Right To Actual Education
Periodically the courts get involved in the question of what states are actually supposed to provide. Back in 2017 a case went all the way to the Supremes that was designed (no case gets before SCOTUS without being carefully prepared and selected and curated by a bunch of Major Players) to get at the question of how hard a district had to work on that whole IEP thing-- how much education is "enough"? SCOTUS rejected a low bar for students with disabilities, a decision that shored up IDEA (and which may be weighing on some minds as schools try to solve the problems of crisis educatio... more »

Beware of bioethicists: Many are Nazi like in their disdain for human life
Not all bioethicists are bad. If you want advice on end of life issues go to the National Catholic BioEthics Center; they have trained staff waiting to help you do what's right. But most if not all secular bioethicists are dangerous at best. They tend to define ethical is whatever saves the government and families money. The most recent example of why you can't trust them is that Princeton Professor Peter Singer--a rock star in the bioethics world--has said that molesting a mentally disabled person isn't that big a deal because they don't know what's going on.

Gov. Cuomo wants to be philanthropic with your money: NY pays more than it gets edition
Day in and day out Democrat politicians and #FakeNews media types demand that you pay more taxes. That's their contribution to helping the poor; they keep their wealth for themselves. Essentially those folks want to be philanthropic with your money. While conservative religious people give far more of their own money and time to help those in need leftists crow about how much they care. The reality is it's not "charitable" to demand that other people pay taxes that are laundered through a grossly overpaid government work force and that finally trickle down to those in need.

A Collection Of Angry Cranks
Derek Sloan -- a Conservative leadership candidate, who comes from a riding close to us -- has badmouthed Dr. Theresa Tam. Bruce Arthur writes: Sloan charged that Tam “parroted” World Health Organization advice, and that the WHO “parroted” China’s statements. The email involved stopping the UN Migration Compact, which is a non-binding agreement; defunding the WHO; stopping abortion; and revoking Canada’s commitment to the Paris Accords. You know, for Earth Day. A lot of that is garden-variety anti-globalist conservatism, which is ironically at least partly an American import. But ... more »
Europe Does Not Want To Confront China Over 'Bogus Coronavirus Death Numbers'
*BBC:* *Coronvirus: Europe 'wary of confronting China over deaths'* China is continuing to under-report the true levels of deaths from Covid-19, national security officials in London and Washington believe. But European officials are wary about directly challenging China over the figures, sources told the BBC. That concern also extends to confronting Beijing over an information campaign to improve its standing and distract from blame in the crisis. China has denied allegations of a cover up, saying it has been transparent about its efforts to battle the virus. On 17 April, offici... more »

On Conservatives and Immigration
Why are the western conservatives still fretting about immigrants? Hey dude, immigrants arrive only in nations which have a large number of high-paying jobs to offer. When your economy is in a state of apocalyptic decline, and the chances of economic recovery in the next five years seem bleak because the politicians, intellectuals, and celebrities in your nation are acting like self-destructive Marxist idiots and paranoid crybabies, and when your domestic unemployment is at an all time high, then the immigrants will not show up.

How and where, Albert asks, will a constitution indicate that it has been amended? This question involves more than mere aesthetics.

NORMAN VINCENT PEALE IS KILLING US (updated)
President Trump is stupid, ill-informed, morally corrupt, and perhaps the greatest living exemplar of the Dunning-Kruger effect, which causes people with low ability to believe that they have the highest possible ability levels.

As I've noted here many times, Trump grew up on Norman Vincent Peale's Power of Positive Thinking, and still practices its tenets. Let me quote Michael Kruse's 2017 Politico story on this: Trump and his father were Peale acolytes—the minist... more »
