Vote for Trump’s Policies, Not for His Personality
Joseph A. Bosco, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Joseph A. Bosco* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Joe Biden certainly seems a decent and compassionate human being and projects more empathy and personal caring than does Donald Trump. He might even be fun to have a beer with. But the history of his judgment on national security decisionmaking—as attested by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates who served in the Obama administration with him—is extremely worrisome at this time of global challenge. As the 2016 campaign season opened, I was an optimistic Republican voter. The party was blessed with an abundant crop of attrac...
Japan vs. Russia at Nomonhan: A Preview of World War II
Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* An obscure footnote to World War II, the Battle of Nomonhan in Siberia was a precursor to the major fighting around the globe. *Key Point*: The forgotten test of wills in the outback of Asia would be a blueprint for coming conflicts in Europe and the Pacific. In May 1939, Mongolian herdsmen and part-time militia cavalry crossed the Khalkhin Gol, or Halha, River near the village of Nomonhan in Manchurian-claimed territory. There they pastured their horses as they had always done. The border between Mongolia and Manchuria was historically i...
Why Did Labour Abstain on the Spycops Bill?

And the latest reading of the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill cleared the House of Commons. 313 voted for it, 98 against. Hold the front page, something's amiss. Lots of votes from honourable members are missing. The bulk of the opposition in fact. 200 MPs abstained, including most of the Labour Party under orders from Keir Starmer himself, while 34 did the principled thing and opposed - several resigning their front bench positions in the process. A New Leadership indeed. The government's bill is a crappy, authoritarian piece of work. As Shami Chakrabarti...
Like Most Supplement Purchasers, Believers Think Cannabidiol Is Medicine Despite No Evidence
News Staff, Science 2.0 blogs - 6 hours ago
Cannabidiol, a chemical found in marijuana plants, is enjoying a wave of financial success due to strange prescriptions for "medical" marijuana, which ended up overwhelmingly being obtained for recreation. Yet belief in medicinal properties remain despite no evidence it does anything. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does say it might help for rare forms of childhood epilepsy, but that has led to charlatans selling it as part of the "wellness" scam. Supplements are fine for people who are healthy anyway. Yet those who have been duped into being marijuana will help with acn...

Suicide of the Liberals

When I saw the title, "Suicide of the Liberals" in the October, 2020, First Things, I thought it would be "our" liberals who wave their little flags at "peaceful" protests led by BLM, and donate to racial justice causes, and meet with other faculty at the university to promote reeducation workshops on American history.

Though Kaliman appears to have feigned loyalty to Morales over the years, his true colors showed as soon as the moment of opportunity arrived. The ...
