Much Ado by Dems of Trump, reminiscing on 2017
Uriel, 'Nox & Friends - 6 hours ago
The Hill, and those tasked with commenting like Emily Jashinsky on January 14, seem to have very short memories of the days leading up to January 20, 2017. President-elect Joe Biden – “bought off by foreign governments, Chinese energy companies, Ukrainian energy companies” – should be impeached when he takes office, according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Newsmax TV. “I’m tired of Republicans who lay down and allow this country to be ravaged, allow Democrats to abuse their power in their positions, and I believe it’s time for Republicans to stand up for the American peopl...

55 Americans Have Died Following mRNA COVID Injections as Norway Death Toll Rises To 29
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 6 hours ago
Amid increasing calls for suspension of the use of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines produced by companies such as Pfizer, especially among elderly people, the situation in Norway has escalated significantly as the Scandi nation has now registered a total of 29 deaths among people over the age of 75 who’ve had their first COVID-19 vaccination shot. As Bloomberg reports, this adds six to the number of known fatalities in Norway, and also lowers the age group thought to be affected from 80. Norway’s experience has prompted the country to suggest that Covid-19 vaccines may be too risky for...
California Woman Uses Quarantine to Flex Her Entrepreneurial Muscles, Start Organic Nut Mylk Delivery Service

For many in the baby boomer generation, the arrival of the milk man spurs memories of a long-forgotten era where life was simpler and high quality, wholesome food was the norm, instead of processed food. But in recent years, the rise of non-dairy milk alternatives has correlated with that of the rise of the organic food industry, leaving many to ditch traditional milk straight from the cow for something from a wide variety of nuts. Recently, one mother decided that to meld these two worlds together, after noticing that there were no non-dairy milk options at the grocery store that...

Chinese Special Forces Have Won Battles You’ve Never Heard Of
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* It would be surprising if China did not continue to rely on them. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Special forces have become America's instrument for waging small wars on the cheap, using small numbers of elite soldiers rather than large numbers of expensive -- and politically sensitive -- regular troops.

How CENTCOM Chief McKenzie manufactured an Iran crisis to increase his power
Gareth Porter, Peace and Prosperity - 9 hours ago
[image: undefined] During the final two months of the Trump administration, a series of provocative US military moves in the Middle East stirred fears that a war against Iran was being hatched. The atmosphere of crisis was not the result of any threat posed by Tehran, but rather the product of a campaign manufactured by the head of US Central Command (CENTCOM), Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., to advance his interests. In a bid for prestige and power within the military, and the influence over policymaking that it guarantees, McKenzie has worked to accumulate military assets. The gene...
'Revoke Their Degrees': Harvard Faculty and Students Seek Revocation Of Degrees For Trump Officials and Allies
Jonathan Turley, Peace and Prosperity - 9 hours ago
[image: undefined] There is a building campaign at Harvard to rescind the degrees of Trump officials and allies including White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Representative Dan Crenshaw (R-TX). This is not the only such effort to retaliate against Trump officials from blacklists to campaigns of harassment. Indeed, previously there was a demand for a ban on former Trump officials from being allowed on campus at Harvard. Recently Rep. Elise Stefanik was removed from a high-ranking board on Harvard for challenging the victory of President-elect J...

You Can’t Hide From the Delta Force
Joseph Trevithick, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Joseph Trevithick* *Security, * The U.S. Army’s Delta Force—one of Washington’s premier specialized units—is still largely hidden from public view. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *More recently, the secretive troops tried to save American journalist James Foley and other captives from Islamic State terrorists Syria in July 2014. The following month, the Sunni extremist group murdered Foley. After more than three decades and dozens of Hollywood movies, the U.S. Army’s Delta Force—one of Washington’s premier specialized units—is still largely hidden from public view. The Pent...
Why Aren't Flamethrowers Used by the Military Anymore?
Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, * From "Greek Fire" in the ancient times to the Cold War, fire played an important role in warfare. *Key point: *Flamethrowers have been used for a very long time. However, in modern times they began to fall out of favor. The idea of using fire as a weapon likely occurred as soon as the first human settlement was attacked by a rival tribe. The problem is that fire doesn’t know friend from foe and for eons couldn’t really be controlled. The earliest known example of a “controlled burn” directed at an enemy was the Bzyantine’s “Greek Fire.” Exactly what in...

NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES ARE FOR OTHER PEOPLE
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 10 hours ago
In *The Atlantic* earlier this week, David Frum wrote: At least since the election of Barack Obama in 2008, the conservative world has become a place of ever more extreme language, ever more widely distanced from real-world events. Conservative talkers would say things like Obama “is literally at war with the American people,” and then be greatly shocked and offended that anyone would connect their words to the growth of extremist violence. The words did not mean anything to the cynics who spoke them, and so they found it difficult to imagine that the words might mean anything to t...
