Meet the North American T-28—From Trainer to Warbird

This could be the caption of a Supreme Court case decided in 2023 or 2024. Even if Congress takes no action under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment, the issue of the former President's possible ineligibility under that provision will be raised if he runs again. Anyone else seeking the GOP nomination in 2024 could challenge Donald Trump's eligibility for the primary ballot, citing Section Three. The ensuing litigation would probably reach the Supreme Court from some state and would need to be decided before the party delegates start being allocated, lest there be chaos. Whil...

Iraq’s Oil Exports And Revenues Rise Again In January 2021

Joel Wing, MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 12 hours ago

For the second month in a row Iraq increased its oil exports despite a promise to cut production to meet its OPEC quota. It came at an opportune time as prices for Iraq’s petroleum finally passed the $50 a barrel mark thanks in part to OPEC. In January Iraq exported an average of 2.868 million barrels a day. That was up from 2.709 million in November and 2.846 million in December.

Ecuador: reversing the pandemic slump?

barovsky, The New Dark Age - 10 hours ago

The leftist candidate Andrés Arauz took the lead in the first round of the presidential elections in Ecuador. Arauz won 31.5 per cent of the vote, putting him about 11 percentage points clear of his nearest rivals. It was unclear who Arauz would face in the run-off. Indigenous leader Yaku Pérez and Guillermo Lasso, a wealthy ex-banker, were in a technical tie for second place, with Perez on 20.04 per cent to Lasso’s 19.97 per cent. The second run-off round will be in April but if Arauz runs against the pro-business Lasso, he is likely to win; it’s less sure against Perez.

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* At the end of 1943 the Allied armies battling their way north in Italy came up against the German Gustav Line and ground to a halt. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Military historians have little good to say about the Italian campaign in general and the battle for Cassino in particular. The Gustav Line, stretching across Italy at its narrowest part between Gaeta and Ortona, was a formidable system of defenses, some of it in coastal marshes but mainly in mountainous country through which ran fast-flowing rivers.

How 'Appeasement' Became a Dirty Word in International Politics

Warfare History Network, The National Interest - 13 hours ago

*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Britain’s policy of dealing with the Nazis in the 1930s engendered stern warnings. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Behind appeasement lay the feeling that Britain had been unfair to Germany in the past and would make a grave mistake if she persisted in her unfairness. The “Mythology of Munich” and “What Would Winston Do?” These were the feature story and the cover headline, respectively, for the June 23, 2008, issue of *Newsweek* magazine. Yet, approximately 75 years removed from the beginning of Britain’s appeasement policy, firsthan...

Forget Impeachment, Use the 14th Amendment Instead

David Skaggs, The National Interest - 13 hours ago

*David Skaggs* *Politics, Americas* The suggestion that the Senate (merely) censure former President Donald Trump for aiding and abetting the January 6 insurrection falls far short of what’s required. The suggestion that the Senate (merely) censure former President Donald Trump for aiding and abetting the January 6 insurrection falls far short of what’s required.

Another is the "right to privacy" that has been identified in various contexts by the US legal system. For more information on that complex subject, see here, here or here.

Man, Body, and Soul

Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 15 hours ago

Man doesn’t have a soul. He is the soul. The body is the garment that the soul temporarily wears. This is how the great religions of the world (and the pre-modern philosophies) have viewed the relationship between man and his body. The conception of man as a wholly material entity is the result of a shotgun wedding between soul and body organized by modern philosophy (in the last three hundred years)—this shotgun wedding is not going to last; a breakup between body and soul is certain because modern philosophy (modernity itself) is crumbling and it will soon fall. By the next decade,...
