Hillary Clinton’s legacy of mismanagement abroad
Jennifer Rubin must be a genius to have figured out all these deficiencies in Hilary Clinton! I still think Hilary looks pretty good in comparison with prior offerings.

N Korea goes 'into combat posture No 1'
We should listen to these madmen! insanity more than once has caused a world war. Better to believe them and prepare!
Don't judge too quickly the people who think they tune into dead voices
What makes these attempts to hear voices from the dead interesting is that they are often done publicly.
Are you an idiot if you do such research? Not at all. The world is really not what most of us think it to be. Hence the millions of religions based on believing things that don't really exist, or do they?
For one thing, time does not really exist as a barrier to entry any more! If someone dies and is resurrected it may be extraordinarily unlikely, but with today's understanding of physical phenomenon, it is not impossible. That we have such capability now is not known, but that a distant cosmos could have such a capability is very well known... Yes!
Similarly, is it impossible for the earth to have been visited from our nearest constellations. Not at all! Entities could catch a ride on a beam of light which would eventually breach the earth's protective shield.
I think that we are so ignorant of the role of light in everything that we miss half the fun in the cosmos!
Don't miss the fun of using your imagination. You may be forgiven for never imagining what is possible even with our understanding of today's capacities.

Issues that needed to be addressed but were left hanging!
Marketing Strategy for Blackberry
I never understood in the past why anyone bought a Blackberry other than it was great for typing! What's new?
Can Blackberry actually get it right in the complex marketplace of rapid obsolescence? Fact is that information about strategic choice travels too too rapidly for comfort!
Modern warriors
As if distaste exists for the battlefield today's warriors are under the illusion they won't suffer for their misdeeds. On the contrary, it becomes more difficult each day to hide one's identity! Best policy is peace and good will!
A bailout for Cyprus, a geopolitical failure for Russia
Russia gains in tax revenue? But, loses in influence!
Unexpectedly Amazing Carbon-Based Energy Form
Use of lasers has expanded to include energy storage devices!
Supreme Court justices conflicted on gay marriage case - The Washington Post
People are right to be confused! American society is easily mature enough to accept same sex marriage. It's a question of maturing attitudes more than anything else.
In 2018 you may wish to drive in a new breed of all electric vehicle
Below are links to videos and articles that will speed you on your way to understanding this breed of electric vehicle! Lots of interest in this energy saving project if it can be scaled up. Aluminium / Lithium are used in futuristic 'Air Battery' driven vehicles using tap water. What is needed is aluminium, water, lithium batteries, oxygen. Better formulations can follow!
Batteries to run electric vehicles:

Income Growth For Bottom 90 Percent Of Americans Averaged Just $59 Over 4 Decades: Analysis
If nominal that implies that in real terms it actually went down? Even in real terms it is slow growth! Measures should always be done in per capita income just to emphasize a point. Income mix indices would be easy to create but economists can be poor statisticians!
