Could the Soviet Navy Have Bested NATO in the Atlantic Ocean?
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *History, Europe* NATO was slow to recognize the relevance of the shift in Soviet interest towards anti-submarine platforms. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Despite possessing a massive number of ships and aircraft, the Soviet Navy during the 1970s was still decisively inferior to the combined forces of NATO. The fate of the Navy would have depended, to a great extent, on how long the land war ran. Over the course of the Cold War, the balance of forces between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Soviet Union changed dramatically. At differen...

THE EMPTY BOASTS GAP
Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog - 6 hours ago
In his latest *New York Times* column, Ezra Klein makes some important points: If Democrats want to avoid losing their slim House and Senate majorities in the next midterm cycle, they need to do big, noticeable things that make people's lives better -- and that will probably require them to nuke the filibuster in the Senate. But this gives me pause: Among the many tributaries flowing into Trumpism, one in particular has gone dangerously overlooked. In their book “Presidents, Populism and the Crisis of Democracy,” the political scientists William Howell and Terry Moe write that “po...

It’s showtime—time to put part timers and teens out of work
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 7 hours ago
The minimum wage is showtime for Democrats. FDR used it in the 1930s to destroy the economy for black communities so they couldn't compete with their own free labor and outbid whites. Very few employers have been paying federal minimum for years, and only 4% of wage earners are paid state minimum. Wal-Mart's minimum is $14.76. Ohio's is $8.70, California $13.00, New York City $15. And right now, with the lockdown, the no job wage is whatever check the government is giving people. Democrats like to trot it out as "caring for the poor" while keeping our economy locked down, and turn...

Why America’s RAH-66 Comanche Stealth Helicopter Crashed and Burned
Alex Hollings, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Alex Hollings* *History, Americas* The quest for a true stealth helicopter continues. The U.S. has long led the world in stealth technologies, and for a time, it looked as though America’s love for all things low-observable would extend all the way into rotorcraft like the RAH-66 Comanche Helicopter. Despite being only a decade away from ruin, the Soviet Union remained a palpable threat to the security and interests of the United States at the beginning of the 1980s. However, elements of America’s defense apparatus were beginning to look a bit long in the tooth after decades of ...

On April 12, in “The VSL Quandary,” I wrote: That $65 trillion is not a typo.

*Rachel Bucchino* *Kristi Noem 2024, Americas* Donald Trump has also added to the flood of controversy over Noem’s political future, taking to social media to urge the governor to battle Sen. John Thune in the 2022 midterm elections. With the Republican Party scattered ideologically in the post-Trump era, several GOP lawmakers have risen in the ranks to lead the party and win back the White House in 2024.

How Trump’s Language Shifted Leading up to the Capitol Riot
Roger J. Kreuz, Leah Cathryn Windsor, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Roger J. Kreuz, Leah Cathryn Windsor* *Politics, The Americas* “Fight like hell,” President Donald Trump implored his supporters. “And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Shortly thereafter, some of Trump’s supporters breached the Capitol. On Jan. 6, the world witnessed how language can incite violence. One after another, a series of speakers at the “Save America” rally at the Ellipse in Washington redoubled the messages of anger and outrage. This rhetoric culminated with a directive by the president to go to the Capitol building to embold...
White Supremacists who Stormed Capitol are the Tip of the Iceberg
Ursula Moffitt, The National Interest - 9 hours ago
*Ursula Moffitt* *Politics, The Americas* Although racism is often seen only as prejudiced beliefs and behaviors – as embodied by the Proud Boys and other such groups – it is better defined as a system of advantage based on race. Among the Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 were members of right-wing groups, including the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and Three Percenters. The increasing violence and visibility of these groups have turned them into symbols of white supremacy and racism. They were involved in the deadly Unite the Right march in Charlottesville, Vi...

Google Ngram Viewer, What A Tool
Tommaso Dorigo, Science 2.0 blogs - 9 hours ago
I know, Google has been around for decades by now, and nobody should be surprised to learn how easy they have made the life of information seekers, among other things (I am also an addict of their search engine, scholar, maps, trends, and gmail utilities). But my mouth still dropped today as I discovered their "ngram viewer". It happened by chance. I was trying to find out whether "as best as possible" is really a correct English phrase, or if it is just a tad slang, and the google search pointed to a page where the matter was settled by a cool graph: read more

*“Requiem for a Ladybug”* by Frankly Francis “You lie still less than a foot away on top of the soft mouse pad that protects me from carpal tunnel syndrome.

It is certainly past your time of the year in these parts. I had the presence of mind to reckon that your life must be short.

They do not seem to ask much of life, sometimes they do not seem to take it seriously. At times I envy them, but usually I do not understand them - seldom do they understand me. I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret.

Łososie w naturze żywią się krylem - małymi skorupiakami posiadającymi pancerzyki zrobione z pomarańczowej żywicy utwardzonej jonami wapnia. Kryl i krewetki wytrawione kwasem solnym uwalniają tę żywicę i każdy może ją zobaczyć na własne oczy. Łosoś hodowlany musi być karmiony krylem aby jego mięso przypominało mięso łososia - bez pomarańczowej żywicy z kryla mięso łososia nie jest wybarwione na charakterystyczny kolor. Kryl jest bardzo tani, więc podejmowane są prób...

"Tenants have always had rights"

Landlords and tenants alike have been gearing up to address the government's law changes affecting them both this year. As it happens, similar things have been happening in Texas, where the Texas Institute for Property Rights makes the point that while housing advocates frequently call for laws to "protect" the rights of tenants, the fact is, tenants have always had rights -- just like landlords, they have rights by virtue of being human. * [A]ll individuals are endowed with certain rights, namely, the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
