The Weekly Standard ^
| Nov 3, 2015 | MICHAEL WARREN
Texas senator Ted Cruz said the Rebel Alliance in George Lucas's Star Wars films are "unequivocally" the good guys. The
Republican presidential candidate told THE WEEKLY STANDARD Tuesday evening the question over which side in the original three movies, the Rebels and the all-powerful Galactic Empire, was good and bad, was "not even close." Cruz's stance goes against strong evidence that the Empire helped solve a crisis of security and order following the fall of the Old Republic sometime long ago in a galaxy far, far away. The Tea Party favorite also dismissed arguments that the Empire's destruction of Alderaan,...

| 1/4/1863
[In consequence of several serious blunders of the telegraph, the circumstantial and graphic account of the great battles before Murfreesboro, published in Saturday's TIMES, was very much confused and impaired. A
series of conflicts, destined to have so important a bearing on the course of the war, deserves a clearer chronicle, and we republish the letter of our correspondent, with the proper corrections, today.--ED. TIMES.] NASHVILLE, Thursday, Jan. 1, 1863. I have just arrived from a terrific battle on Stone's River, in front of Murfreesboro, west side.

Master Plan: How China Aims to Crush the U.S. Air Force in a War The Chinese air force isn't here for friendly competition. They
mean to destroy. by David Axe Follow @daxe on Twitter L Here's What You Need to Remember: In opting in wartime to confront the U.S. Air Force's fighter squadrons in direct fights with similar aircraft and training, the Chinese air force is betting that it can develop better fighters and pilots faster and in greater quantity than the Americans can do. The Chinese air force aims not just to compete with the U.S. Air Force, but...

Provocative comments over the weekend from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell will provide grist for the 'grassroots vs. establishment' mill for some time. In
an interview with the New York Times about the 2014 election cycle, McConnell predicted that Tea Party-backed Senate candidates will get wiped out in GOP primaries this year: This election season, Republicans led by Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky are taking a much harder line as they sense the majority within reach. Top congressional Republicans and their allies are challenging the advocacy groups head on in an aggressive effort to undermine their credibility. The goal is...

DOJ Issued 40 Subpoenas for Trump Advisers to Crush a Political Party

Independent Sentinel ^
| September 13, 20225 | By M Dowling
A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY The New York Times reported that the Justice Department issued about 40 subpoenas for communications of former President Donald J. Trump advisers over the past week. They
are seeking information about their actions related to the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021, “attack on the Capitol.” It was not an attack on the Capitol. There was a riot. Most people harassed and jailed by the DOJ were just walking around inside the Capitol without permission. The people at the Capitol came unarmed. It couldn’t compare with the years of Antifa and Black Lives Matter violence...

China Has a Plan to Crush the Tibetan Diaspora: With a selection of the next Dalai Lama, they will go after the Tibetans elsewhere.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama turns eighty-five today. The
atheists in Beijing are eagerly waiting for him to die so that they can pick his successor. They will do almost anything to gain control of Tibetan Buddhism—and all religion in China for that matter. Tibetans wear the robes of tragedy. His Holiness fled China-controlled Tibet in 1959, crossing the Himalayas on foot into India just ahead of Chinese soldiers. He and his followers have now settled into the foothills of Dharamshala. In that town and around the world, Tibetans are now celebrating the Year of Gratitude for His Holiness, which...

China's breakneck economic expansion may be flagging, but the country's ambitions in space show no signs of slowing down. Alongside
ongoing efforts to rival NASA by placing robotic landers, and eventually astronauts, on the moon and Mars, China's government is increasingly looking to its burgeoning space sector to rival U.S. companies like Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Elon Musk's SpaceX, which is targeting March 30 for the latest launch of its Falcon 9 rocket.. -- Please see link for full article.

Last week Donald Trump said he was going to "come after" Congressman Mark Meadows, the head of the House Freedom Caucus, if he didn't support the American Health Care Act. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer later said the president was joking. No
one is laughing now. The House Freedom Caucus, the collection of libertarian-leaning conservatives who helped sink the Trump-backed American Health Care Act last week, appears to be as much of a political enemy for the president as the Democratic Party. The fissures appearing beneath Mr Trump's feet as he tries to lead the Republican Party are not...

You wouldn’t know it by looking at cable TV ratings, but Fox News has a big problem on its hands. While
the conservative news giant enjoyed record Nielsen ratings in November thanks to the presidential election, its dominance is now being tested by Newsmax, a scrappier competitor that’s had fewer reservations about questioning Joe Biden’s victory. That stance has earned the channel praise from Donald Trump, rumors of an acquisition or investment by Trump allies, and a flurry of stories examining Newsmax’s ascent in the TV news pecking order. Most of those stories point out that Newsmax is still well...

being undertaken by Jill Stein."The reason for this is that as the author notes, "as a candidate, Dr. Stein has the right to call for a recount. However, we urge the GPUS to distance itself from any appearance of support for either Democrats or Republicans. We are well...

WASHINGTON (AP) — As he began his first re-election run in early 2013, tea party Rep. Thomas Massie had no trouble raising money from business interests. Then
came 2015. The Kentucky Republican voted against returning John Boehner, R-Ohio, to the speaker's job and opposed an effort by GOP leaders to avoid a standoff with President Barack Obama over immigration that threatened to shut down the Department of Homeland Security. In the first three months of 2013, Massie reported $46,000 rolling in from tobacco, trucking, health care and other industries. During the first quarter of 2015, Massie has collected just $1,000...
