STARTING TOMORROW: The Otherization Rules!
*MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2021* *Quickly today, a pet peeve:* According to yesterday's New York Times, it happened rather quickly: The creation of a mural in a public school cafeteria quickly produced a type of culture war between the pro-mural and anti-mural communities. (Chekhov: "The appearance on the front of a new arrival—a lady with a lapdog—became a topic of general conversation.") The news report in yesterday's Times barely scratched the surface concerning the basic facts of the case. But we'll admit that we were annoyed when the Times reporter offered a demographic breakdown ... read more

Security In Iraq Oct 22-28, 2021
The last week of October saw an explosion of tension in central Diyala as the Islamic State attacked a village and then the inhabitants carried out a retaliatory strike upon a neighboring town. The government was afraid this would set off sectarian attacks and tensions remain high there. There were a total of 21 incidents reported in Iraq from October 22-28. One was the retaliatory attack by tribesmen in Diyala, two were by pro-Iran groups leaving 18 by the Islamic State. Those left 36 dead and 42 wounded. 1 Hashd al-Shaabi, 7 members of the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and... read more

Through Boom and Bust, China’s Economy Matters
*Desmond Lachman* *China, Asia* Historical experience with property and credit market bubbles of even a lesser size than that being experienced in China have generally ended in tears. It is difficult to see why China’s case will be any different. Napoleon famously remarked that when China awakes the world will shudder. Now that China’s economy has awoken and storm clouds are gathering over its economy, Napoleon might well have said that when the Chinese economy stumbles the world economic recovery will stutter. There can be no doubt that China now constitutes a key part of the wo... read more
The F-15EX Is a Great Airplane, but It Can't Replace the F-35
*Peter Suciu* *F-15EX, * Experts are also quick to point out that even as great of a platform that the F-15EX may be—it absolutely shouldn’t be seen as a replacement or even an alternative to the F-35. This week the United States Air Force announced that the Boeing-built F-15EX Eagle II recently completed its first-ever operational test mission while paired with F-15Cs and F-15Es at Nellis Air Force Base (AFB), Nevada. It was a significant milestone for the aircraft, and it certainly highlighted the capabilities of the advanced aircraft. By all accounts, the F-15EX should be see... read more

The 2020 media con job about Biden
Biz Pac Review: To say that the honeymoon is over for Joe Biden would be a huge understatement as the nation’s 46th president’s approval ratings are in a death spiral that is rapidly gaining momentum, according to a new poll that is a nightmare scenario for the Democratic party.

The Myth of American Humanitarian Intervention
In the 1950s, the Americans invented the term “humanitarian intervention” to create the impression that their wars were motivated by altruistic and philanthropic concerns. They monopolized this term—only they had the right to attack another country for humanitarian reasons. If any other country intervened, the Americans would adamantly oppose the intervention and brand it as a savage invasion. In most cases, the American humanitarian interventions led to much bigger humanitarian disasters, probably because the real purpose of these wars was to capture natural resources and install p... read more

Supreme Court begins to rein in Biden radicalism?
Epoch Times: The Supreme Court decided on Oct. 29 to hear two cases that the Biden administration didn’t want to come before the court—one aimed at reviving a rule that screens out potentially government-dependent immigrants and another that could roll back the reach of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The court’s decisions come as migrants continue to illegally cross the U.S. southern border and the Biden administration develops a strategy for dealing with climate change. The decisions also come as the court prepares to hear high-profile cases in the coming days deali... read more
