[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Efforts continue in Washington D.C. to designate the Moslem Brüderbund as a terrorist organization due to its global activities.
Hillel Fradkin, Director of the Center on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Moslem World at the Hudson Institute emphasized to Al Arabiya English that the Moslem Brüderbund is a global threat, "It is true that it operates on a global basis or as global as it can be. It has branches in various Moslem countries, especially Arab countries, but also other regional countries, and it has organizations that were founded by and directed by its members in other places like La Belle France, England, US, and so forth," he said.
The US expert highlighted that the Brotherhood founder, Egyptian, Hassan al Banna, was aiming to establish his organization outside Egypt as well, not for his personal ambitions, but to implement the agenda of the Brotherhood’s project.

[DAWN] IMAGINE a scenario where a group of, say, Christian men abduct and rape a number of young Moslem girls over years.
Actually, the response of the majority is not hard to predict: there would be blood on the streets from Kasur to Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... ; churches would have been destroyed, and entire communities torched.

[Wash Times] Actor and conservative commentator Ben Stein said Saturday that the protesters who berated Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at a Louisville restaurant the night before are "becoming like the brownshirts in the early days of the Nazi Party."
Mr. McConnell and his wife, Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao, were confronted at the Havana Rumba restaurant by at least two hecklers who reportedly stole the couple’s leftover food off their table and threw it outside.
It was one of many similar incidents involving Republican politicians being heckled in public in recent months. Mr. McConnell was recently heckled by protesters at Reagan National Airport near Washington.
Mr. Stein, a lawyer and economist who is also Jewish, told TMZ at Politicon in Los Angeles that leftist protesters are wading into fascistic territory.
"Disgusting mob rule," he said. "Antifa is becoming like the brownshirts in the early days of the Nazi Party. Very, very disgusting, shocking behavior ‐ stunningly horrible.
[Free Beacon] Former President Barack Obama said during a campaign rally Monday that the current economic boom, which President Donald Trump has highlighted as a major victory for his administration, began with him.
"When you hear all this talk about economic miracles, remember who started it," Obama told the Nevada crowd, which responded with applause and cheers.
Obama, who was in Nevada supporting Democratic Senate candidate Jacky Rosen, reflected on his own administration, saying, "When I walked into the Oval Office 10 years ago, we were in the middle of the worst economic crisis of our lifetime, the last time the other party was in charge."
"I hope people notice," he continued, "that every time there is a pattern where they [Republicans] run things into the ground, we have to come back and clean things up."
"Nevada was hit as hard as any place [during the last recession]; everybody here remembers," Obama said, before joking about the young age of the attendees. "Not everybody," he clarified. "Because some of you were really young. Those of you who are older than 15 remember, sort of."
It wasn't the first time Obama has challenged Trump's claims to a driving a booming economy. In September, Obama told a crowd in Illinois to "remember" the current economic recovery began under his administration, the New York Times reported at the time.

For eight years it was "Everything Bad was Bush Bush Republicans Bush Bush! Everything Good was the most glorious Obama, He Who Brings the Light™!" On second thought ... who cares what he says anyway?

I wonder why he didn't begin it, oh, 4 years sooner? The new normal.

It did start with him. Obama bounced our economy off the bottom. Obama fumbled the recovery, a recovery Charlie Brown could have made a success, and handed the Ball to Trump to save the day.

It's almost as if Trump metabolizes the negative energy exuded by leftist crackpots. The more they gnash their teeth and wail, the stronger and more confident he gets.

Giant Papier-mâché heads are so Old School, the new fad is animated video. If we, the intelligent Left, put enough video on the internet showing the Downfall of Evil Trump™ the technological voodoo will sure succeed!
[InMilitary] The Air Force’s BGM-109G Ground-Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM) was a Navy BGM-109A Tomahawk modified to fire from a Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) truck.
WASHINGTON: If President Trump withdraws from Reagan’s INF accord, it could jump-start fielding of new technologies that would have skirted the letter of the treaty, like ground-launched hypersonics. But it could also lead to less exotic solutions that the INF pact now bans outright, like mid-ranged ballistic missiles.
As the product of a very particular moment in the Cold War, the misleadingly named Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces accord actually bans all cruise and ballistic missiles ‐ . It doesn’t matter whether they carry nuclear warheads or conventional ones ‐ that have a range between 500 to 5,500 kilometers, about 310 to 3,417 miles....but if and only they’re launched from the land. The exact same weapon, launched from a ship, submarine, or aircraft is completely legitimate.
So what could the US military do without the treaty that it can’t do already? A congressionally mandated Pentagon report from 2013, unpublished but obtained by Breaking Defense, says that withdrawing from the treaty would create four possibilities:
"1. Modifications to existing short range or tactical weapon systems to extend range."
While the US has plenty of sea- and air-launched weapons that were never covered by the treaty, the only existing ground-launched system that comes close to the banned ranges is the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS). But the Army’s already decided it’s not worth upgrading the 1980s-vintage ATACMS for a significantly longer range.
Instead, the Army’s developing an all-new Precision Strike Missile (PRSM) to hit targets out to 499 km ‐ but officers acknowledge that’s an arbitrary limit imposed by the INF treaty, not the available technology. So, practically speaking, the end of INF would remove this restriction on the new PRSM, but not magically enable a radical enhancement of the aging ATACMS.
This is the easiest option. In fact, the Air Force’s BGM-109G Ground-Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM) ‐ whose deployment helped force the Soviets to the negotiating table and whose destruction the INF treaty explicitly ordered ‐ was simply a truck-borne variant of the Navy’s standard BGM-109A Tomahawk, whose non-nuclear version is on almost every cruiser, destroyer and submarine today.
Repackaging the Tomahawk for ground launch would be even easier now than in the Cold War. That’s because the US is already installing compatible missile tubes in Poland and Romania as part of the Aegis Ashore missile defense system. While the US has repeatedly and emphatically denied Aegis Ashore has any offensive capability, Russia has repeatedly and anxiously noted that the original naval version of Aegis uses the same multi-purpose Mk 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS) to fire both defensive (surface to air) and offensive (surface to surface) missiles. Adding offensive capabilities to Aegis Ashore would probably be as simple as loading different missiles, different software, and different targeting data. It would be ironic if the Russians’ own violations of the INF drove the US to realize one of their worst fears.
The US would have to build a new IRBM, replacing the Cold War Pershing II that was destroyed under the INF accords, since nothing similar is currently in service. (The Air Force Minuteman III and Navy Polaris D5 are much longer-ranged "strategic" missiles never covered by INF). But the basic technology of ballistic missiles is old, shared not only with Minuteman and Polaris but with Werner von Braun’s 76-year-old V-2. Rocket boosters shoot a "reentry vehicle" (housing the warhead) into space at blistering speed, at which point it coasts back to earth on a parabolic trajectory so predictable Sir Isaac Newton could have calculated it with a quill pen. (The study of ballistics began with gunpowder cannons in the Renaissance).
In fact, one of the military’s main motivations for pursuing newer technologies such as hypersonics is that they allow less predictable, more maneuverable missiles ‐ ones that could bypass today’s anti-ballistic missile defenses. One of the military’s main misgivings about the new technologies, however, is that they’re significantly more complicated than proven ballistic and cruise missile tech.
So what’s the happy medium between new and proven? That brings us to the last category, the one about which the 2013 report seems most enthused:
"4. Forward-based, ground-launched intermediate-range missiles with trajectory shaping vehicles (TSVs)."
What on earth ‐ or rather, in space ‐ is a TSV? It’s an advanced type of a reentry vehicle, i.e. the part of a ballistic missile that reenters the atmosphere from space, as opposed to the rocket boosters, which burn out and fall away. Specifically, a TSV is launched on a ballistic missile but has "maneuvering and glide capacities," at least enough to hone in precisely on a target and to avoid a simple Newtonian calculation predicting its exact flight path.
It combines a ballistic rocket launch ‐ a venerable, proven technology ‐ with a maneuvering reentry vehicle ‐ like the one allegedly built into the Chinese DF-21 "carrier killer." It would be more capable than a pure ballistic missile, yet technologically simpler and less risky than hypersonics. This might be the golden mean for the mid-term, after deploying a land-based Tomahawk but before developing combat-ready hypersonics.
