Mainstream News Outlet Trots Out ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Line Again, Suggests Police Responsible for Louisville Violence
j, Wake Up To The Truth - 6 hours ago
Joe SaundersPublished September 24, 2020 For the mainstream media, Louisville was just the chance for more lies. As word spread that a grand jury decision in the Breonna Taylor shooting was close at hand, anyone paying attention knew the Kentucky city was in for a rough night of rioting. Anyone paying attention also knew the … Continue reading Mainstream News Outlet Trots Out ‘Mostly Peaceful’ Line Again, Suggests Police Responsible for Louisville Violence →

The Tories and the British Fox News
Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 6 hours ago
With a "heavy heart", wrote Andrew Neil, "I will be leaving the BBC ... As for the future, I’m delighted to announce I have accepted the post of Chairman of GB News, a new news channel to be launched early in the New Year bringing new perspectives to the news." Backed by the US Discovery corporation, the aim is to challenge the BBC, ITV, and Sky in the broadcast news market - leaving many anticipating a British iteration of Fox News. Not as overtly right wing and frothing perhaps, but the "new perspectives" aren't about to feature excluded voices from council estates or left winger...

Why Everyone Loves the Vaunted Ruger SR1911
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.ruger.com/productImages/6736/detail/1.jpg] This gun may be newer, but it draws upon some of the finest traditions in firearms. *Key Point*: The 1911 was one of the best pistols ever made. This new version by Ruger takes up that legacy and continues it. One of the most successful handgun designs of all time is the 1911 series semi-automatic pistol. Designed for war and to take advantage of the deadly .45 round, the 1911 and subsequent variants were the official handguns of the U.S. military from World War I well into the 198...
These 5 Military Rifles Should Have Never Made It To The Frontlines
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Truly miserable weapons. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Most rifles patterned after the AK-47 assault rifle are successful. The AK-47 is a reasonably simple recipe for a reliable, efficient weapon, and as long as the recipe is followed an effective weapon follows. Hungary’s AMD-65, on the other hand, is a warning of what happens when one fails to follow the winning formula. Military rifles were for decades the primary weapon of an army. Wielded by the largest fighting branch, the infantry, rifles were used in both attack and defense. Because of ...

*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* [image: By USAAF - Thumbnail and captionImage, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=32205004] Taking the island provided a landing field for thousands of damaged B-29s coming back from bombing raids. On February 19, 1945, thousands of American Marines hit the beaches on the Volcano Islands in the Pacific, starting what we call today the Battle of Iwo Jima. Taking the small island, encompassing only about eight square miles, required the commitment of 70,000 American fighting men and 26,000 casualties, over 6,800...
Don't Listen to Donald Trump: We Need 1 Billion Americans by 2100.
James Pethokoukis, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*James Pethokoukis* *Politics, Americas* What is the thinking behind such a potential move? Is one billion Americans by 2100 a worthwhile goal? If so, how do we achieve it? I recently discussed these questions with Matthew Yglesias in a wide-ranging conversation about the geopolitical rise of China, effective environmentalism, expanding immigration policy, and much more. Matthew Yglesias is the co-founder of Vox.com, where he is a senior correspondent and the host of Vox’s “The Weeds” podcast.

North Korea's Antiquated Air Force Could Still Cause Problems
Kyle Mizokami, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] Pyongyang's Air Force is full of outdated and bad planes. But they are still able to attack and cause damage. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *As the Japanese demonstrated during the Second World War, there is no better weapons guidance system than a kamikaze pilot. Indeed, while J-5 and J-6 are basically useless as fighters, they would be great cruise missiles loaded up with bombs on a one-way trip. North Korea’s Korean People's Army Air Force (KPAAF)—referred to as the Air and Anti-Air Force Command in South Korean documents...

Tehran accuses Trump of being bigger threat to Iran than Saddam Hussein
[image: Tehran accuses Trump of being bigger threat to Iran than Saddam Hussein] Iran and Iraq fought a brutal, eight-year war between 1980 and 1988, with Baghdad invading the Islamic Republic to try to seize the oil-rich province of Khuzestan soon after the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Up to 1.2 million people died in the conflict, which included Iraqi use of chemical weapons against both Iranian troops and civilians. US President Donald Trump is even more of a threat to Iran than Saddam Hussein was, government spokesman Ali Rabiei has suggested. Continue reading Tehran accuses Tru...

“According to the New York Times article, “public opinion surveys show that most New Zealanders” favored liberalizing their country’s abortion laws. However, independent polling shows that the vast majority oppose specific features in this law. For instance, just 2% of Kiwi women support abortion on-demand up to birth. 93% oppose sex-selective abortion, in which a … Continue reading Adern’s ‘loosening’ of abortion laws while NZ was in lockdown described as the ‘understatement of the decade’ – laws the majority of NZers were NOT in support of →

A few days ago, writing for *The Atlantic*, Peter Nicholas noted that by moving forward so rapidly with the Supreme Court confirmation of a hardcore extremist like Amy Coney Barrett, Donald is "giving lawmakers little space to carve out an independent identity that could help them win reelection...

How Did China Acquire Its First Aircraft Carrier?
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The carrier was first designed by the Soviet Union. *Key Point*: The Liaoning is hardly equal to a U.S. supercarrier. China was proud to launch its first aircraft carrier, the *Liaoning, *in 2012. This vessel was a refit of an incomplete Soviet Kuznetsov-class cruiser carrier. However, the story of how China got that ship in the first place may as well be a comedy—because the carrier was actually a rogue acquisition for the Chinese military against the wishes of the government in Beijing. And it was undertaken by a basketball player who claimed he ...
