I'm Always Ready To Believe All The Worst About Trump, But This Randy Credico Stuff Strains Credulity, No?
*Roger and Randy like a little publicity* If Trump’s legal team wanted to further discredit and undermine the Mueller investigation into Putin-Gate, they might drag lots of clowns onto the public stage to attempt to make a mockery of the whole thing. Maybe they could dig up some perennial candidate, a comedian and talk show host who says he can’t remember anything because he’s been so heavily medicated. And then get him and another clown, say Roger Stone, into a public mud wrestling match. I don’t recall ever hearing about Randy Credico before but he ran for mayor of NYC and for gov... more »
Meet the Heckler and Koch G11: The Super Assault Rifle You Don't Know About
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Was it just ahead of its time? In the last days of the Cold War, West Germany developed perhaps the most advanced assault rifle of all time. A compact weapon capable of firing a withering 2,100 rounds per minute, the Heckler and Koch G11 utilized technologies not seen even in today’s armies. The advanced nature of the G11 came at a considerable cost however, as the gun was much too complicated to be practical on an increasingly unlikely battlefield. For decades the armed forces of West Germany, the Bundeswehr, utilized the G3 battle rifle. Adopted in... more »
Meet Russia's Super 'Rifle' That Killed Hitler's Tanks
*Warfare History Network, Bob Cashner* *Security, Europe* North Korea even used them. Here's the story. Ever since the tank appeared on the battlefield during World War I, armies the world over have sought to field man-portable infantry antitank weapons to give the infantryman a viable defense against the metal monsters. The first attempt was made by the Germans during World War I with the 13.2mm Tank-Gewehr Model 1918, a monster Mauser anti-tank rifle five and one-half feet long and weighing 40 pounds. While it could indeed penetrate the armor of World War I tanks, recoil was so... more »

Quality standards for practically everything fell during the birth of the Russian Federation in the 1990s. Even AK-74Ms that were manufactured during this period are known to have quality control issues. At the same time, the explosion of organized crime resulted in a resurgence of submachine gun designs.

Robert Reich - 1 hour ago
*WHAT’S A SUBPOENA – AND SHOULD TRUMP FEAR IT?* You’re probably hearing a lot about subpoenas. Or you will very soon, once Democrats take control of the House. A subpoena is a legal command from a court or from one or both houses of Congress to do something – like testify or present information. The term “subpoena” literally means “under penalty.” Someone who receives a subpoena but doesn’t comply with it may be subject to civil or criminal penalties. Here’s how it works. *Step one*: Let’s say the Intelligence Committee of the House of Representatives issues a subpoena to the Pr... more »

The drug industry is using deceptive practices to circumvent the law and sell you more drugs. We’ve all seen the drug TV ads: a couple walking together on a peaceful beach, or playing with the family dog in a sunny meadow—and then we get to the appalling list of side effects that, understandably, turn off many consumers.

November 30, 2018 Dennis: I believe this belongs to you. It was dropped in my mailbox with all the careless forethought that a dog gives when it randomly deposits a turd on a stranger’s lawn. Try, if you can, although I doubt your powers of empathy are that all-inclusive, how I now feel at having my mailbox and home invaded by an odious rump cult that commands people, through various Kingdoms, to do its bidding when I had neither recognized nor encouraged in the slightest said odious, rump cult.

NC-09-- It Appears That Neo-Fascist Candidate Mark Harris Stole The Primary From Robert Pittenger And Then The General Election From Dan McCready
Paul Ryan was whining Thursday about how the Republicans had only lost 26 seats when he went to bed on election night and wha wha now they’re down 40. So something’s wrong. Yeah, it’s called counting all the votes and conservatives *hate* the very concept. Well, there may be 41 soon. Seems there’s a little problem along the southern tier of North Carolina-- the 9th district-- where, ostensibly, it looked like far right extremist Mark Harris defeated Blue Dog Dan McCready by 905 votes. Or maybe not. Tuesday the state board of election unanimously refused to certify the results. And ... more »

White Officer Indicted for Murder in Killing of Black Man
A grand jury indicted a white former Dallas police officer for murder in the killing of her unarmed black neighbor when she says she mistakenly went to his apartment rather than her own and shot him.

(In which we promise to never promise you Nazis in Argentina.) ------------------------------ Here's the money shot: "Trump is staying for only 48 hours because he prefers his own bed and likes to keep his routines, according to The Associated Press."

NAFTA 2.0 - A Win For Farmers And The Environment
The North American Free Trade Agreement won't see its 25th birthday. The United States, Canada, and Mexico have signed on the dotted line for its replacement, The United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement. The debate fell outside usual positions. Free trade is the hallmark of Republicans, they say, but they seemed to be unhappy with NAFTA. Democrats, in the old days, were protectionist about American workers, yet their criticisms suggested they wanted to keep manufacturing jobs in Mexico and for Canadian farmers to have a good deal in the U.S. while America got penalized in Canada.

Taking Stock of the Yemen Resolution
Photo: Matthew Kahn On Wednesday, Nov. 28, Congress took what may be its most important step to date towards openly opposing U.S. involvement in the Yemen war. By a vote of 63 to 37, the Senate elected to discharge a joint resolution directing an end to U.S. involvement in Yemen out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and on to the Senate floor. The resolution in question, S.J. Res. 54, was introduced by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) in February 2018, and has remained in committee since that time. Wednesday’s vote sets up a possi... more »

Native Women in the United States Congress: The rise of Women politicians
DEB HAALAND, who last month became one of the first native-American women elected to Congress, experienced what this meant to other Indian women on her first post-poll trip to Capitol Hill. She was recognised there by a party of native visitors from South Dakota, who rushed to embrace her in tears. “I was crying, they were crying,” she says. “Representation matters. And if you disagree, try not being represented for over 200 years and then see how it feels to have someone who looks like you in Congress!” One of the most dismal stories in the run-up to the mid-terms was an attempt b... more »

Tariffs’ Upside: Two Million New Steel Industry Jobs
[image: tariffs-upside-two-million-new-steel-industry-jobs] A nonpartisan trade group representing farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and various labor groups reported on Tuesday that, according to its economic model, Trump’s tariffs on steel “are creating US jobs and stimulating growth,” the opposite of what many mainstream economists predicted. Those new jobs might just be needed if President Trump fails in getting China to change its behavior.
