Do Congressional Republicans Want Your Family To Starve? Probably Not-- But They Just Do Not Care
The House passed a pandemic relief package 4 months ago. There is no doubt it would pass the Senate as well because all the Democrats and several Republicans would vote for it. But McConnell and his GOP cronies have refused to allow it to come to a vote. Is there a solution? Absolutely-- defeat McConnell and every Republican senator running for reelection in November. (Also every Republican candidate running for an open Senate seat.) In fact *Merav Ben-David* is running for the open Wyoming Senate seat against a complete corporate shill. "Americans need relief now," she told me. "... more »
Leftist war on meritocracy becomes overt
Bill has pointed out that Andrew Sullivan reviewed a new book, The Cult of Smart, which identifies meritocracy (especially in the world of thinking and intelligence) as the ultimate enemy of the leftist utopias (beneath the four main enemies, of course: they are spring, summer, fall, and winter). For many years, we have seen that the post-modern or neo-Marxist left was increasingly fighting against some values that have been considered important for a long time, such as: freedom (including freedom of speech, academic freedoms, freedom of assembly etc.), democracy (with the respect t... more »

The U.S. Military Needs to Start Thinking Digitally
*James P. Farwell* *Security, Americas* As Congress considers how it budgets for the military, that approach makes more sense for the future than simply improving upon what we have done in the past. What kinds of innovative technologies does our military need to prevail in the battle for influence in a globally competitive environment? While the United States has been developing digital technologies and deploying them widely in defense, we have lagged in the application of the real efficiencies and effectiveness of thinking digitally. We need to stop talking about networks and d... more »

The space agency will seek to purchase between 50 and 500 grams of lunar regolith from one or more commercial providers. And it anticipates paying roughly between $15,000 and $25,000 for each cache.

Why Are U.S. and Russian Forces Clashing in Syria?
*Giuseppe Maria Del Rosa* *Security, Middle East* Run-ins between the U.S. and Russian forces have increased following President Donald Trump’s short-lived decision to withdraw 1,000 U.S. personnel—after which he changed his mind, agreeing to keep a smaller force in a more confined area to protect “the oil.” The subsequent U.S. forces’ reposition led Russian forces to expand their footprint across northeastern Syria, placing the two factions in close and recurring contact. In August, a skirmish between Russian and U.S. deployed patrols erupted in northeastern Syria. According to ... more »
America's Broadband Internet Is A Great Success Story (No, Really)
*AEIdeas* *Technology, Americas* Not only does the US exhibit one of the fastest average broadband networks in the world, but it is also one of the most adaptable. While the Summer Olympics have been postponed until 2021, it appears that nothing will diminish the international rivalry associated with “winning” the race to have the fastest average broadband speed. For a short time, the “winner” gets to gloat triumphantly over the “losers” and even down the ranks, coming in ahead of a close rival (frequently a neighbor) confers temporary bragging rights (at least until the next lea... more »

Bombing Buchenwald: How The Allies Eventually Went To War On Hitler's Death Camps
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The August 1944 American air raid on a weapons factory at the Nazis’ horrific concentration camp was one of the most precise bombing missions of the war. In early 1945, the 50,000 starved and brutalized prisoners incarcerated at KL Buchenwald—the infamous concentration camp located atop a hill known as the Ettersberg, just to the northwest of Germany’s cultural capital of Weimar—were growing desperate. Ever since the camp opened in the summer of 1937, it had been a place of unremitting horror. Crowded together in filthy, lice-ridden ba... more »
Catalonia and Spain Are Reaching the Breaking Point
*Nick Ottens* *Security, Europe* The time to halt escalation was ten years ago. What might happen now? There are good reasons for Catalonia to become independent. This region of Spain, with a population of 7.5 million, has its own language and traditions. It has a long history of semi-detachment from the rest of the peninsula. The County of Barcelona was created in 801 by the Carolingians, when they pushed the Moors south. Barcelona joined the Kingdom of Aragon in 1137, which in turn merged with Castille to form Spain in 1479. Catalonia retained its autonomy until the War of the ... more »

We know, in fact, that he knew at least as early as the first week in February of this year. That was when he admitted, on tape no less, to writer Bob Woodward, that he knew what was coming. Then, he lied to our faces repeatedly, just as any true psychopathic killer would. This is who he is. I've been saying it for months.
