Venezuela Economic Crisis | Democratic Socialism | Hugo Chavez
Venezuela Economic Crisis | Democratic Socialism | Hugo Chavez:
"It is yet another ‘miracle of socialism’ that a country with the world’s largest oil reserves can go almost broke. Venezuela’s total oil reserves stand at an estimated 296.5 billion barrels, which is higher than Saudi Arabia’s 265.4 billion barrels. But the cash-strapped country is struggling to get investments and technical expertise to convert its oil reserves into revenue.
Socialist leader Hugo Chávez got elected as country’s President in 1999 and introduced the ideology of “Socialism of the 21st Century”. Chávez enacted a new constitution, taking control of the state and the economy to carry out his “socialist revolution”.
Chávez, and later his protégé Nicolás Maduro, managed to win consecutive elections largely due to their policies of social redistribution — but as it always happens — they have finally run out of other people’s money. British newspaper Financial Times reports:"

8 Iranian missile launches since nuke deal signed, expert tells US Congress
8 Iranian missile launches since nuke deal signed, expert tells US Congress | The Times of Israel
"In the 10 months since the Iran nuclear agreement was signed, the Islamic Republic has increased the frequency of its ballistic missile testing, according to researcher Michael Elleman, who testified before a US senatorial committee this week.
...investigating the effects of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the official name for the Iran nuclear deal signed in July 2015.
Since then, Iran’s ballistic missile program has become a central issue in the debate surrounding the nuclear deal, with opponents of the agreement saying test launches violate the terms of the JCPOA, while proponents argue missile tests are “inconsistent” with United Nations resolutions but not necessarily illegal.
According to the UN decision, “Iran is called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology,” until October 2023.
As they’re only “called upon not to” test missiles, but not expressly forbidden from doing so, Iran has used that loophole to increase its testing with impunity.
“[The US has] engaged in a lot of hue and cry over Iran’s missile capabilities, but they should know that this ballyhoo does not have any influence and they cannot do a damn thing,” Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei said this week.
According to Elleman, in the almost year following the signing of the agreement and the removal of sanctions, Iran has performed at least eight missile tests — three in 2015 and five thus far in 2016..."

If You Don't Want To Get nuked Don't Bomb Pearl Harbor
If You Don't Want To Get nuked Don't Bomb Pearl Harbor:
President Obama has kowtowed to the Japanese and Western liberals by promising at the site of the Hiroshima nuclear bomb “we shall not repeat the evil.”
People who agree with this sentiment ought to do two things.
First they should read the essay – Thank God for the Atom Bomb – war historian Paul Fussell wrote on how he felt when, as a 21-year-old second lieutenant in the US army, he and his comrades heard the news that Japan had been nuclear bombed into surrender.
“When we learned to our astonishment that we would not be obliged in a few months to rush up the beaches near Tokyo assault-firing while being machine-gunned, mortared, and shelled, for all the practiced phlegm of our tough facades we broke down and cried with relief and joy. We were going to live.”
Second, they should familiarize themselves with which country it was started this particular war; which country fought it with such sadistic determination that they would frequently torture and bayonet prisoners – even the wounded, in hospitals they’d over-run and would almost always refuse to surrender themselves, making any assault on territory they held more than usually costly in allied lives.
If ever the US finds itself in such circumstances again, let us pray that the president it has at the time is nothing like Barack Obama.

While President Obama can’t even go so far as to wear an American flag pin on his lapel, it appears that Donald Trump is a bit more Patriotic when it comes to supporting American traditions.

Trump was none too pleased. Here’s what he did.
“Guess what, we’re gonna do the National Anthem, OK?,” Trump told the screaming crowd.
MSNBC's Brian Williams Says US Dropped Atomic Bomb 'In Anger'
MSNBC's Brian Williams Says US Dropped Atomic Bomb 'In Anger':
"MSNBC breaking news host Brian Williams once again is finding his on-air comments coming under scrutiny, after characterizing the United States’ use of the atomic bomb against Japan as being “in anger.”
The former NBC Nightly News anchor was responding to a point being made by his colleague, Andrea Mitchell, who was praising former Sens. Dick Lugar and Sam Nunn for their work on nuclear non-proliferation.
“[T]hat is still the threat that people worry about that this material will fall into the wrong hands,” said Williams. “If people have found the U.S. to be preachy in the years since Hiroshima and Nagasaki about the use of nuclear weapons, it’s because we’re the only nation to have used them in anger.”

EXPOSED: Hacker Who Got Hillary's Emails Drops Bombshell About What He Found
EXPOSED: Hacker Who Got Hillary's Emails Drops Bombshell About What He Found:"Presumed Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is in more hot water now than ever with the State Department publicly criticizing her for not following procedure and requesting to use her personal server for classified transmissions. In fact, the State Department went as far as to say it would not have given permission even if she had asked for it.
Now, the fact that her email server was hacked showed another security threat, and subsequently many have begun calling for Hillary to drop out of the presidential race."
The most infamous pace car in Indianapolis 500 history
Gregg Doyel: The most infamous pace car in Indianapolis 500 history
The car is beautiful, today. Orange paint, white leather interior, big brown steering wheel straight out of the 1970s. The demolished front end has been restored, leaving no trace of the mayhem this Dodge Challenger caused, the terror it struck at the 1971 Indianapolis 500.
It sits today in a warehouse in Fishers, low to the ground but long, sleek, its hood jutting over the grill like the overbite of a tiger shark.
This is the most notorious pace car in the history of the Indianapolis 500.
Well, it almost killed someone...
