Good enough to be hired on at the NYT and WSJ. But the point is, as you wrote, editor and writer, not talking head. And she built a media business, which is a very relevant skill set not many people in the journo world promoted to executive positions ever have. If the best shot critics have...

Yes, serious. Weiss worked at NYT and WSJ and founded "Free Press" and - for the benefit of those readers for whom this is just another anti-Trump proxy fight, so she has to be the villain and Pelley the hero - is a moderate progressive. Her "pro-Trump" crimes are dissenting from the "party...

Weiss and Bilton are real journalists. Pelley reads news from a prompter. Actors don't have quite the same flex over writers in news as they do in movie studios.

I don't know about specific jobs, but I have read the 30,000 foot numbers. The numbers of people trying to enter illegally are way down, exits are way up, and not all jobs are going unfilled. I doubt they're going to throw up their hands and declare defeat because strawberries and lettuce are...

...after all the high-value fragile assets from satellites on down were destroyed and exquisite systems ceased to have much influence...

They've managed to invert that. By removing and encouraging self-removal of people in the country illegally, they've opened up job opportunities which have been filled by non-illegals. So there is more than one path, and they aren't obligated to choose one that pleases critics.

Why? "Immigration control" in part means stopping "illegal immigration". They don't have to play word games ("migrant", "undocumented").

It might be, but that's not the debate in the US. The debate in the US is about stopping people from entering the country illegally and removing those who somehow do get in.

"Growing up". I do so very much enjoy it when HSR proponents resort to sounding like a huckster selling a monorail: because status.

I was being a smart ass also. Both airports are essentially between any two likely terminus points.

Be realistic. HSR between Calgary and Edmonton would be egregiously expensive if it had to detour so far out of its was as to pass through the two airports.

Nope. Just the left-hand tail of their voter distribution wagging the dog. They're still doing it. The "covering letter" of the recently released "autopsy" and most of the resulting commentary are evidence. Parties in defeat almost always first go through a denial phase in which the problem...

The real "revolution in military affairs" is just that "evolution in military affairs" is accelerating. There is simply not the same amount of time to adapt to each innovation that there was in the past because the time between innovations is decreasing. Snapshotting what is going on and...

The value of the unfortunately poorly named "manoeuvre warfare" is in being a framework (conceptual) which is an alternative to "attrition warfare" which explains some things that might be done differently, and why (and when) those differences can profitably or preferably be employed. It is...

"Harpoon", come to life.

It continues to look like "cavalry" is combined arms with a formal unit establishment and maybe a standard formation (brigade) template too (if a force large enough to warrant one ever takes the field). Heavy/medium/light just looks like a descriptor based on equipment.

Trump's movement is by no means a "political establishment" with decades of history and longevity. It didn't even know the ins and outs of power in Washington DC for its entire first term - a weakness undeniable because of the extent to which his opponents openly bragged about exploiting it...

Most of the voters who put Trump in office are "normies". They're the ones who decide presidential election outcomes. It certainly isn't the case that defecting former Democrats were "MAGA" all along.

The band is now stuck in a difficult position as a consequence of failure to push back enough against the early second- and third-hand assessments/misrepresentations as the information got passed along. (They did push back, a little, early on, against some of the characterizations.) Still now...

Bit of a problem if its the median position, though, isn't it? Who is a country for: its extremes, or its centre?
