*by Noah* "We will build that graveyard and you will pay for it with your lives." He is what he is. So here you are: Your con man president addressing his America, proudly gazing at his bigly achievement, 3,000 miles of tombstones. I can also hear him telling his victims "You shouldn't have believed me, suckers." To a psychopathic grifter like Trump, all his victims are "losers," too. He'll even try to sell you your own casket.

Thanks To Growing Suburbs, America Will Never Be The Same
*Karlyn Bowman* *Politics, Americas* “Of the 41 congressional districts that flipped from Republican to Democratic in 2018, 38 were suburban.” In 1950, a quarter of America’s population lived in the suburbs. In 1960, a third of the country was suburban, a third urban, and a third rural. By 1990, nearly half of the country lived in the suburbs. Whether for safety, space, or schools, the second half of the 20th century shows continuous suburban growth. A Census study by Todd Gardner of movement in the country’s 100 largest metropolitan areas to the suburbs from 1955 to 2000 is ill... more »
Why North Korea is Still Terrified of Battleships
*Robert Farley* *History, Asia* [image: Wikimedia Commons] A fleet of them attacked the so-called hermit kingdom during the Korean War. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The legacy of the Iowas’ performance off Korea lived on in North Korean and Chinese naval doctrine and procurement. Both Pyongyang and Beijing became aware of their dreadful vulnerability to naval attack, and developed coastal defense capabilities intended to dissuade any foe from approaching their waters. China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy has grown past that stage, but the navy of the DPRK continues to c... more »
Worth Its Weight: Why People Turn to Gold in Uncertain Times
*Dirk Baur, Allan Trench* *Economics, * Based on past experience in a crisis, people believe in the safe haven feature of gold and it works because they believe in it. Dirk Baur, *University of Western Australia* and Allan Trench, *University of Western Australia* “Gold” said famed investor Warren Buffett in 1998, “gets dug out of the ground in Africa or someplace, then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.” Yet for all that, we remain in love with ... more »
Why the Battleship Belongs to the Dust Bin of History
*David Axe* *Technology, Americas* After WWII, the ships "could no longer fulfill their roles in a cost-effective manner.” *Key Point*: “Battleships are simply a delivery system for ordnance.” In many ways, the battleship represented the greatest-ever concentration of naval power in a single vessel. Between World War I and World War II, the big, fast, thickly-armored and heavily-armed warships dominated the world’s oceans. And then, very quickly, the battleship became practically obsolete. *Why* is a complex question — one that University of Kentucky professor Robert Farley, an... more »
Why China's Push For Global Dominance Is Not Going So Well
*Andrew A. Latham* *Security, Asia* Instead of a rising power, could China be a faltering one? The conventional wisdom has long been that, if there is to be a major war involving China and the U.S., it will be the result of either of a rising China initiating war to displace the failing U.S. hegemon, or a declining U.S. initiating a war to stymie a rising China. But this ignores the possibility that systemic or hegemonic war between China and the U.S. may not have anything to do with a *rising power*. It ignores the possibility that such a war might be initiated by what I will c... more »
Ukraine’s Banning Of Russian Media Apps Is A Desperate Infringement Of Free Speech
Ukraine’s demand that Apple ban several Russian media apps from that national segment of its online store is a desperate infringement of free speech which shows both how insecure Kiev’s leadership is of its people having access to alternative information as well as what an embarrassment this EU-aspiring state has […]

ICE Investigation Leads to 19 Cases of Voter Fraud in NC
The Tea Party Daily At times it is hard for me to believe that anyone could be so stupid as to think all of our current voting processes and regulations don’t need any tweaking or a little revision here and there. After all, much has changed in our society in recent decades. Take technology, for instance. Our voting process was once reliant on paper and pencil and snail-mail. However, with the invention of email, the internet, and digital formatting, our ballots, as well as how we receive and send them, have changed quite a bit. Sure, we can still travel … Continue reading →

The cases for a \(17\MeV\) QCD axion and cosmic strings
Today, after some time, I was intrigued by very ambitious interpretations of two experiments. First, there is the delirium over beryllium, a nuclear signal at \(17\MeV\) observed by Krasznahorkay et al. in Hungary (Krasznahorkay is the Hungarian transliteration of Krásna Hôrka, The Beautiful Little Hill [a castle], in Slovak). In a new preprint, Signals of the QCD axion with mass of \(17\MeV/c^2\): nuclear transitions and light meson decaysDaniele Alves of Los Alamos proposes a wonderful conclusion: the excess is real and the particle is nothing else than the QCD axion. The particle... more »
How the Royal Navy Sank Hitler's Plans for a Battleship Fleet
*Sebastien Roblin* *History, Europe* Nazi Germany did not commission a single additional capital ship for the remainder of World War II. *Key Point*: The fog of war spoiled what otherwise was a well-conceived ambush by German cruisers. At first glance, the Battle of the Barents Sea seems insignificant, a minor World War II naval battle in which a couple of destroyers were sunk. Yet the New Year’s Eve skirmish in frozen Arctic waters convinced Hitler that he should scrap *all *of his capital ships and had far-reaching consequences on the leadership of Nazi Germany. The reason why... more »
Donald Trump Has No Problem Ruling By Executive Order
*William Yeatman* *Politics, * A new paper sheds light on this problem. A couple weeks ago, I blogged about “an unfortunate innovation in executive power” during the Obama administration, which I called “leverage policymaking.” In a nutshell, “leverage policymaking” entails regulatory agencies using individual transactions with large corporations—such as enforcement or licensing actions—to achieve broad policy results. Last week, Cato published a *Legal Policy Bulletin* about another unfortunate innovation in executive power, but this one was pioneered by the Trump administrati... more »
Russia's Only Aircraft Carrier Is Junk. Why Is It Still Floating?
*Caleb Larson* *Security, * The Admiral Kuznetsov has some serious problems. *Key Point*: Despite the myriad setback experienced by the unlucky ship, the Admiral Kuznetsov will likely sail smokily on into the future, tugboats in tow. The Admiral Kuznetsov is Russia’s only aircraft carrier. It’s suffered many mishaps — its dry dock sank in 2018, and an adjacent 70-ton crane came crashing into the deck, killing four and leaving a giant crater in the flight deck. In late 2019 the ship caught fire during repair work. In short — there are many problems. But the Admiral Kuznetsov will... more »
Meet The Organization Behind The ‘Black Lives Matter’ Slogan
*Armstrong Williams* *Politics, Americas* It's an oddity, but the organization is not synonymous with the movement. With protesters taking to the streets all over the United States to protest police brutality after the killings of unarmed black men, the phrase “Black Lives Matter” has become synonymous with the movement. Regardless of where you find yourself on the ideological spectrum, a significant percentage of those protesting have done so peacefully. But it’s the violent protesters and Antifa thugs who continue to get most of the attention. The media would have it no other ... more »

The 10 Best Navy Movies Ever Made
*James Holmes* *Security, * These films explore human drama in the cramped confines of ships. *Key Point*: Many on this list derive from literary classics, while others depict the feats of real-life historical figures. Ranking movies about navies is tough. The trouble isn’t an overabundant field of candidates to choose from. The trouble is that few stinkers sully the handful of films recounting tales about high-seas warfare. Good on Hollywood. So while you’re stuck at home waiting out the coronavirus, here are my ten favorites so you can take a virtual voyage on the briny main. ... more »

Ananda Math and the British Imperialism
Why did providence send the British imperialists to India? This is the question that Bankim Chandra Chatterjee seeks to answer in his landmark 1882 novel *Ananda Math*. He was a nationalist (often regarded as the founder of Hindu nationalism), but in his novel (and several of his essays) he asserts that the Hindus should refrain from fighting the British, who are doing us a favor by being here. Since we, the people of India, have forgotten the art of teaching ourselves, we must get our learning from other countries. The British are good teachers, he suggests, and we are learning f... more »
Trump Didn't Set The Wildfires, But...
*Another non-partisan Patagonia ad* Trump won support from just 31.6% of Californians, but that still came to 4,483,810 votes-- more than anywhere else but Texas (4,685,047) and Florida (4,617,886). Almost four and a half million Californians voted for him and, disproportionately, they're in parts of the state that are on fire. Also 1,221,747 Washingtonians and 782,403 Oregonians voted for him. But he's offering no help or solace to anyone on the West Coast and feels put upon but this over demonstration of Climate Change or, as he puts it, the "Chinese hoax."

U.S. Central Command General Frank McKenzie Admits That There Is No Evidence That Russia Paid Bounties To The Taliban To Kill US Troops
*NBC:* *U.S. commander: Intel still hasn't established Russia paid Taliban 'bounties' to kill U.S. troops* "It just has not been proved to a level of certainty that satisfies me," Gen.
