#china Xi falls for the "Begs the question" logical fallacy. Instead of offering independent proof, he uses circular reasoning. Almost any outcome can be retrofitted as “what history demanded,” while failures of the predicted path are explained away as temporary delays. reuters.com/world/china/chin… China's Xi says Taiwan 'reunification' must happen as history cannot be stopped

President Trump has won a major ruling that clears the way for a trial against BBC for its controversial segment splicing together two lines from his Jan. 6th speech. It is a correct decision that could lay the foundation for a major defamation case. jonathanturley.org/2026/11/1…

One of the insurance companies Senator Wyden claims to be investigating is Centene. What he doesn’t tell you? Its PAC funds his PAC. His former senior health adviser lobbies for it.

Imagine being so indoctrinated by communist propaganda that you openly advocate killing an entire population simply because they refuse to submit to the CCP. This is the mindset behind some of the most extreme Chinese communist nationalists. They talk endlessly about national unity, patriotism and the greatness of China, yet have no hesitation calling for the extermination of fellow Chinese across the Taiwan Strait. And when someone points out how disturbing this is, suddenly the conversation turns into accusations of terrorism. Let’s be clear: The CCP is a political party, not China itself. Taiwan’s 23 million people do not owe the CCP their freedom, their identity or their lives. When your idea of national reunification involves eliminating people who disagree with you, perhaps it is time to question what kind of ideology you are defending.

Taiwan's Air Force has grounded all 65 of its AT-3-series Brave Eagle advanced jet trainers for special inspections after one overshot the runway at Gangshan Air Force Base on Nov. 10, per CNA. The aircraft, from the Air Force Flight Training Command, overran during a training session due to a serious brake malfunction. Neither the student officer nor the instructor was injured. Air Force Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Lee Ching-jan told lawmakers that nine brake-related incidents involving the Brave Eagle have been recorded over the past three years and that only the Nov. 10 incident involved a serious brake failure. The grounding was advised by Aerospace Industrial Development Corp., the aircraft's main contractor, and flight training will resume once inspections find no technical problems.

U.S. Army 25th Infantry Division HIMARS crews flew by C-17 to Kauai, Hawaii, on Nov. 10 and executed a HIMARS Rapid Infiltration (HIRAIN) dry-fire as part of Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center (JPMRC) Rotation 27-01, per DVIDS. HIMARS launchers from the 2nd Battalion, 11th Field Artillery Regiment were airlifted by the Air Force's 15th Wing, offloaded on the airfield and moved into a firing posture. They then loaded back onto aircraft. JPMRC 27-01 includes forces from the Republic of Korea, Singapore, France, New Zealand, Japan and the Maldives, and the 25th Infantry Division says the training prepares it for spring and summer deployments to the Philippines for Operation Pathways.

Important study
Replying to @lingli_vienna
The Invisible Workforce The explosion isn't happening in official, tightly budgeted bureaucratic posts. The data indicates the real drivers are a massive surge in "off-plan" contractual workers (编外人员) and a ballooning cohort of retired public sector dependents. 5/n
