Will Kentucky Democrats Shut Down Boss Hogg-- I Mean Boss Schumer?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
Schumer picked a slate of miserable status quo Democratic Senate candidates for 2020. Not one of them stands for any change except the superficial change of replacing a corporate Republican with a corporate Democrat. If there's an anti-red wave, some of them will win. They define why there is no blue wave. There's nothing to vote *for*-- just a series of less-of-two evils races: *•* Arizona- Mark Kelly (a recent Democrat) *•* Alaska- Al Gross (not even a Democrat) *•* Arkansas- Schumer neglected to recruit a candidate against Tom Cotton *•* Colorado- Frackenlooper *•* Georgia- Jon ... more »

Sunday morning music

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 16 hours ago
This morning's article is an unusual combination. I'm going to introduce you to a song, then talk at some length about its very profound meaning for me. Call it an extended meditation on God, life, the universe and everything, if you will. A couple of weeks ago I happened upon an album released in 1999 by country and bluegrass musician Ricky Skaggs, titled "Soldier of the Cross". I'm not a big fan of either music genre, and I don't normally bother with "commercial" Christian music, but somehow I felt led to click through to a couple of the tracks and listen for a few moments. ... more »

Skipping church on purpose during pandemic panic

Norma at Collecting My Thoughts - 16 hours ago
It was such a pleasant change to be able to attend church services here at Lakeside two weeks ago. Even in a park, even with social distancing, even with no hymns, even wearing a mask. But not today. First, it's only about 50 degrees, and it will be much cooler near the lake (service is in the Steele Memorial gazebo). But second, it's a Methodist service, and if I know anything about Methodists, we'll have a lecture on race relations. Methodists, like Catholics, are always in the forefront of social issues, and they do an excellent job. Of all the Protestant denominations, Methodist... more »

Nazi Germany's FG42 – The Granddad of the American M60 Machine Gun

*Peter Suciu* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] A powerful Nazi weapon of war? During World War II, Nazi Germany developed some impressive small arms, including the MG42 general-purpose machine gun and the StG44, the world's first assault rifle. However, another notable firearm that is not as well-remembered but was quite innovative—if not perfect – was one that would go on to influence post-war weapon design, notably the American M60 machine gun.
