Censorship poses a real danger to our Republic
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 12 hours ago
Journalist Matt Taibbi - no conservative or right-winger, to put it mildly - points out the danger inherent in so many news media and social media outlets that have conspired to block news unfavorable to their preferred politicians, and restrict its circulation. The incredible decision by Twitter and Facebook to block access to a New York Post story about a cache of e-mails reportedly belonging to Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s son Hunter, with Twitter going so far as to lock the 200-year-old newspaper out of its own account for more than a week, continues to be a major underr...
Taiwan's Air Force Can Land an F-16 on a Highway. Does It Matter?
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* Taiwan isn’t the first nation to turn highways into runways. *Key Point*: “The highway drill is necessary, as highway strips would be our priority choice if the runways are damaged during a war.” An F-16 landing on a public highway, engine roaring as its wheels touch the concrete, is a memorable addition to any driver’s morning commute. But whether this will save Taiwan’s air force from a Chinese attack is a different matter. Last year, Taiwanese jets landed on a highway as part of a military drill—the first such drill in five years. “Three fighte...
Russia's Su-47 Berkut Fighter: Just Another Pretty Fighter That Failed?
Kris Osborn, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Kris Osborn* *Su-47, * While the plane never made it into production, it may have inspired Moscow to create better fighters--like the Su-57 stealth fighter. Did the never produced Russian Su-47 'Berkut' fighter accomplish anything of significance? It is an interesting question, given that the not-so-stealthy aircraft was intended to push the technological curve of possibility with greater maneuverability, range and improved anti-spin characteristics. A case can be made for what the demonstrator aircraft introduced, explaining why it is often described as a precursor to Russia...
THAT GOP "TIPPING POINT" WASN'T A TIPPING POINT
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 13 hours ago
*The New York Times* has published a series of op-eds about the Trump years under the heading "What Have We Lost?" Bret Stephens is one of the contributors. He writes that what we've lost is "principled conservatism," and he pinpoints a moment when he believes it all went south for his side: How did the conservative movement reach this pass? Hemingway’s great line about how one goes bankrupt — “gradually, then suddenly” — seems apt. But the tipping point arrived on a precise date: July 20, 2015. That was the day Rush Limbaugh came to Trump’s political rescue after the developer nea...

On The Edge
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 14 hours ago
Everyone knows that Donald Trump lies. But lately, Paul Krugman writes, Trump's lies are qualitatively different: On Tuesday the White House science office went beyond Trump’s now-standard claims that we’re “rounding the corner” on the coronavirus and declared that one of the administration’s major achievements was “ending the Covid-19 pandemic.” Who was that supposed to convince, when almost everyone is aware not only that the pandemic continues, but that coronavirus cases and hospitalizations are surging? All it did was make Trump look even more out of touch. In last week’s de...
