DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 1 minute ago
Roland fantasizes about when we can get on the road again. The other day he asked me where I want to go most. He's all in on either Thailand and Indonesia or Sri Lanka and India. I'm thinking of France or Italy or Spain and Morocco. These are all places we've been to before and numerous times. The next day another friend of mine asked me the same question, but when I started answering, he said "no, those countries are closed to Americans." THat's when I figured out he meant NOW, not in a few years, *after* the pandemic when it's safe again. He wants to fly to someplace exotic an...
Are Democrat Supporters Happy With Former Vice-President Biden's Performance Tonight?

Trump is dominating. That’s the brutal truth. It’s painful. So far. — Andrew Sullivan (@sullydish) September 30, 2020 *WNU Editor*: Andrew Sullivan is a Biden supporter, and he is clearly disappointed in his candidate's performance. But what I find interesting is not his tweet, but the comment thread to his tweet from mostly Democrat supporters. They are all unhappy, and their vitriol and hatred towards President Trump is off the scale. I have checked other sites, and they are all the same. The anger and hate that I am rading is not healthy.

Manaus, Brazil: The First City to Reach Herd Immunity from Coronavirus?
Gordon Dougan, The National Interest - 47 minutes ago
*Gordon Dougan* *Coronavirus, * Manaus is now regarded as one of the most coronavirus-infected cities in the world, with 44%-66% of the population infected, and is at the centre of a debate about herd immunity. Two years ago, I visited the Brazilian city of Manaus at the start of a trip through the Amazon.

Nowhere can we find the tiniest suspicion of a wish to renounce the material world in favor of some spiritual quest; religion is the handmaiden of worldly life. The gods are invoked to give the worshipper the things he wants—health, wealth, long lif...

But you've got an education flavored fundraiser tomorrow night, and we really need to talk. Here's the event: It might have been of interest to educators, except, of course, the price of admission is, well-- a "champion" ponies up $5,600, and on the bottom end, an "attendee" pays $100. I mean, I was sorely tempted, but as a retired teacher with two toddlers at home, I don't have $100 to spend on some...
Strategic Ambiguity Over Taiwan Has Outlived Its Usefulness
Gerrit van der Wees, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Gerrit van der Wees* *Security, Asia* Ending Strategic Ambiguity is not enough. We need to develop a vision on how we want to include Taiwan into the family of nations. The year 2020 is turning out to be the year in which the United States transitioned from the well-worn concept of strategic ambiguity to a new vision of strategic clarity in how we counter China’s ambitions to take Taiwan. While the concept of strategic ambiguity itself has its roots back in the 1950s, it was Clinton Administration official Joseph Nye who stated it most clearly, when asked during the 1995-96 Tai...

Fact: In 1941, Iraq Almost Became an Ally of Nazi Germany
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Middle East* The British Army marched on the Iraqi capital of Baghdad to remove a pro-axis government. *Key Point*: The Iraqi revolt proved a major headache for the British. A dangerous outlaw regime sits in power in Baghdad; the leader of one of the world’s superpowers decides it has to be removed at all costs; an army marches across the desert to topple it. The situation may sound familiar. The events of 2003 were in some ways similar to that of 1941. Sometimes history does seem to repeat itself. Great Britain’s World War II march on Baghda...

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* While Marshal Gouvion Saint-Cyr held off the Allies at Dresden, Napoleon force-marched three corps to the rescue. The next day, the emperor counterattacked. It would prove to be his last significant triumph. *Key Point*: For a brief moment it seemed as though Napoleon’s star was once again in the ascendant. Marshal Gouvion Saint-Cyr was in a tight spot, and he knew it. It was the morning of August 26, 1813, and Saint-Cyr and his French XIV Corps were defending Dresden, the capital of Saxony, from a large and menacing Allied army that ...
