"What Good Comes From This Tragedy?"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 21 hours ago
*"What Good Comes From This Tragedy?"* by Jeffrey Tucker "Many millions of people have spent the last four months in sadness and depression. It’s hard to watch the world shattered by the bad behavior of governments – and to see too many among us cheer the destruction – and not feel a sense of despair. And yet the human mind is an incredible thing. If we work at it, we can figure out a good takeaway from terrible events. Doing so – it takes effort – can brighten the spirits and point the way forward out of the morass. I’ve taken three positives out of this experience. First, I’m... more »

*by Noah* President Chimp On Crack continues to want us to not fear COVID-19 at all. Today, I even got a form email from one of his idiot sons telling me how if I contribute some money I can get VIP treatment in Florida during the Republican Party's Jacksonville Goon-Fest in August. Keep in mind that I have no idea why anyone would ever want to go to Florida at anytime, but hang out with a bunch of white supremacy Q-Anon conspiracy freaks in a place that is reporting over 10,000 new cases of COVID-19 per day?

While Princeton University’s decision to remove Woodrow Wilson’s name from its school of public policy roughly a week ago came as good news to many, the school’s graduate students continue to stress that “changing the name, though long overdue, cannot and will not be enough” to address systematic racism.

How the F-15 Nearly Became the Navy's Sea Eagle

China Has Already Declared A Cold War On The U.S.

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 21 hours ago
*Niall Ferguson, Zero Hedge/Bloomberg: *China Has Already Declared Cold War On US “We are in the foothills of a Cold War.” Those were the words of Henry Kissinger when I interviewed him at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Beijing last November. The observation in itself was not wholly startling. It had seemed obvious to me since early last year that a new Cold War — between the U.S. and China — had begun. This insight wasn’t just based on interviews with elder statesmen. Counterintuitive as it may seem, I had picked up the idea from binge-reading Chinese science fiction. *Read... more »
