Which Party Is Going To Have to Rebuild After The Trump Debacle?

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
*Cone Of Shame by Nancy Ohanian* If someone was to start an essay with "I was a Republican for most of my adult life," there's a good chance I would stop reading. How much of a moron or bigot would someone have to be to have been a Republican for most of their adult life? I wasn't even an adult when I figured out that even a horribly flawed Democratic Party in practice wasn't as bad as the Republican Party in aspiration (*and* practice). But the title of the new Tom Nichols essay for *The Atlantic*-- This Republican Party Is Not Worth Saving-- I wouldn't have heard his compelling ar... more »

These 5 Aircraft Carriers Made A Huge Impact Wherever They Sailed

James Holmes at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Security, Americas* Here are the best of the best. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Less robust carriers use ski jumps to launch aircraft. That limits the size, fuel capacity, and weapons load—and thus the range, flight times and firepower—of their air wings. Larger, more capable carriers, then, can accommodate a larger, more capable, and changing mixes of aircraft with greater ease than their lesser brethren. Anyone who's tried to compare one piece of kit—ships, aircraft, weaponry of various types—to another will testify to how hard this chore is. Ranking air... more »
