Abortion is a nontrivial fraction of a murderA far left lunatic named Scott Aaronson is employed by an institution in Texas and he just wrote a rant against the totally sensible new Texan anti-abortion bill. The rant starts by saying that Republicans are equivalent to the Taliban. That is very bizarre, given the fact that the Progressives and the Taliban have the same relationship to the freedom of speech, other individual freedoms, genuinely capitalist economy, and almost every other pillar of the Western civilization. And the U.S. government that Aaronson has voted for just gave almost $100 billion worth of modern weapons to... read more

THIS IS THE POINT OF THE CULTURE WARWhy is America in a permanent culture war? Why are we always fighting over issues such as abortion and guns? This is why: Progressive Democrats, who had hoped unified party control of the government could spur transformative tax increases on multinational companies and wealthy individuals, look like they will have to settle for a more modest outcome.... Democrats ... had planned to use higher taxes, tax enforcement and other policy changes to pay for their $3.5 trillion, 10-year package.... But it is far from certain what can pass, and lawmakers have acknowledged they may need to ... read more

Who is the Better Savage: The Civilized or the Primitive?Civilized people are more violent, tyrannical, rapacious, and discourteous than primitive people because they believe that their civilization grants them the privilege to invade any land, take control of the natural resources, destroy the local way of life, kill hundreds of thousands of people, and kidnap men, women, and children to be sold as slaves. On the basis of my reading of history, I can surmise that about 80% of the killing and enslaving during the civilizational clashes of the last 1000 years has been committed by civilized people. Civilization is supposed to make people c... read more

A grim explanation for the official campaign against HCQ and Ivermectin
Karl Denninger claims he's found out why US health care professionals and hospitals won't recommend known, proven remedies for COVID-19 such as hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. *You want to know why, if you get Covid-19, the doctor and hospital won't prescribe and use anything until you're choking -- and then only Dexamethasone, Remdesivir (which has failed twice in random controlled trials, including a VERY LARGE one, and is dangerous enough, on the data, that I'd never take it personally), oxygen, and ultimately a ventilator?* Here's the reason *directly* from the governme... read more

These Five .357 Magnum Guns Are the Greatest Ever Made*Kyle Mizokami* *Firearms, United States* The .357 Magnum was originally developed from the .38 Special round and was the first “magnum” round ever invented *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The .357 Magnum is considerably more powerful than its parent round the .38 Special. A .38 Special full metal jacket round will hit with the force of 189 pounds of pressure per square foot at a subsonic muzzle velocity of 810 feet per second. One of the most persistent handgun calibers of the past one hundred years, the .357 Magnum (9x33mmR) cartridge was for decades the most powerful comm... read more

Conservatives and Guns
The Conservatives were going to lift the Liberal ban on assault rifles. But now they've changed their minds. John Ibbitson writes: In a week that shook up the federal election campaign, both Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole focused on guns and crime, leading the Conservative Leader to reverse his position. Faced with the possibility of losing an election that they hoped would deliver a comfortable majority government, the Liberals have been lashing out at a Conservative commitment to lift a 2020 order-in-council that banned certain kinds of semi-a... read more

Get Ready: The Next Child Tax Credit Payment Drops Soon*Ethen Kim Lieser* *economy, Americas* For those parents who are waiting to get their hands on the third batch of payments, know that they won’t have to stay patient much longer—as the next round of checks is slated to head out on September 15. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The other glitch affected some “mixed-status” families—those with one parent being a U.S. citizen and the other being an immigrant—who didn’t receive any of the entitled credits.

Five Years After World War II, North Korea Beat the United States*Michael Peck* *North Korea, Asia* In July 1950, North Korea defeated the United States Army. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Americans lost about eighty men killed and wounded, and about the same number captured—or almost half of Task Force Smith. North Korea suffered about 130 casualties, plus four tanks destroyed or immobilized. The American sacrifice had delayed the North Korean advance—but only for a few hours. Six years before, the U.S. Army managed to stop Hitler’s SS panzer divisions at the Battle of the Bulge. In July 1950, the Army was a speed bump. In July 195... read more

Forever Friends? Pakistan and the Taliban Still Need Each Other*Zahid Shahab Ahmed* *Pakistan, Taliban, * Regional actors cannot sit on the sidelines and ignore challenges emanating from the fragile situation in Afghanistan. Pakistan’s relationship with the Afghan Taliban is an open secret, but it demands more analysis to understand the degree to which Islamabad controls the group, especially since the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021. After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, Washington approached Islamabad to become its frontline ally in a proxy war against the Soviets. During the Afghan-Soviet War (1979-1989),... read more

Can Russia's Nuclear ‘Poseidon’ Deter U.S. Carriers?*Michael Peck* *Russian Military, Russia* Whether Poseidon adds much to Russia’s strategic nuclear forces is doubtful. No less is doubtful is Poseidon the Carrier-Killer. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The puzzle is why a giant robot submarine would be needed to detonate a nuclear warhead near a U.S. aircraft carrier (presumably Poseidon is too expensive to waste by arming it with a mere high-explosive warhead). Russia has begun underwater tests of its Poseidon thermonuclear torpedo. The Poseidon is an 80-foot-long nuclear-powered submersible robot that is essentially an u... read more
