Blitz (3m) French Defense Against 1 e-4

                                         I played white in this game.

Pres Trump's Sleeper Agent Turncoat Inside the Administration

Apparently President Trump has let a sleeper agent turncoat into his administration who present the smiling face outwardly an inwardly is a backstabbing writer of anonymous New York Times article criticizing the President.

One could expect bureaucrats to exploit whatever circumstance allows to advance their personal interests, yet Presidential appointees should have should integrity and loyalty to their boss if not the Commander-in-Chief.

It seems like a Chelsea Manning sort of just do whatever you like sort of action. People wonder if the real motive is a book deal later. Money seems to be the main motive of the backstabbers that act like Benedict Arnolds regarding public service. They have a higher calling that interpersonal honesty to betray interests they don't like. 

One could speculate about who the spook is; is it someone that opposes Judge Kavanaugh because he might some day vote against abortion?

One must hope it isn't a Cardinal in the Kremlin scenario.

Blitz Chess (3m) Open Sicilian

This was an open Sicilian. An intermediate level game replete with blunders, mistakes and inaccuracies.  I played black.

Defenses Against 1.e-4 and the Fried Liver Attack

I am not such a great chess player myself. However I like e-4 openings so I tend to understand something about what works against people attack that way 1. e-4 openings include the Fried Liver and King’s Gambit, Evan’s Attack, Loli Attack, Italian Game etc. Basically I would say that if you learn good defenses against 1. e4 and work with them a lot you will find defenses against the Fried Liver implicitly. Don't forget to attack with black yourself.

Common defenses against 1. e-4 include the Owen’s Defense, the Kings Indian Defense and the Sicilian. The Sicilian Dragon defense resembles the K.I.D. in some respects so you can vary or conflate them sometimes with positive results. The Sicilian Sveshnikov is a good defense against the Fried Liver. You should not find that weak f-7 square too challenging to defend after a while.
The Sicilian Scheveningen is a pretty good defense against f-7 vulnerability.

Pres. Trump Should Stim Start-Up Bi-Partisan Foreign Elections Interference Commission

President Trump should ask Congress to create a bi-partisan foreign interference in U.S. elections commission purposed to investigate and report on interference in U.S. elections from foreign and multi-national agents, agencies, parties, shills, cut-outs and malevolent influences. The Mueller Investigation is simply too narrow, under-financed and focused on serving as 2016 Democrat Party loser vendetta agency on President Trump to examine the constellation of adverse foreign agents that may influence U.S. elections.

The commission to investigate foreign and multi-national interference in U.S. elections should be made similar to the Kerner Commission that was made to investigate the causes for civil disorders in the 1960s culminating with the famous riots in Detroit and Los Angeles within inner cities.

Canada Isn't a Partner of the U.S. Defense Establishment

Canada isn’t a partner of the United States. It is a former British colony that very reluctantly and lately asserted complete independence. Canada is regarded as somewhat cheesy about many things culturally. While there are many fine Canadians there are also those that consider hockey more important than football.

Canada choose to become testy regarding the United States to a minor degree in 2017 when it changed its defense policy. They said the United States could not be relied upon to defend Canada any more. Also they decided to spend billions to upgrade defense, as they had been spending just quite 1% of G.D.P. on defense. Canada to Rely Less on US Defense in Major Policy Shift

If Russia or China were to invade Canada on the way potentially to attack the United States, the Pentagon might get involved, yet a land war with thousands of concealed, scattered Chinese special forces air-dropped across Canada with special portable weapons to wreak havoc, especially in winter, might be a sticky wicket to crash.

If tens of thousands of drones were to swarm over Canada some day from the other hemisphere, the Defense of the United States would be more difficult. If Canadian casualties ran in the millions and the regular transportation, food and government infrastructure was destroyed; probably not too tough to accomplish, the need to keep invasive foreign hunters from looting Canadian wildlife would perhaps become a concern for the U.N. first, and second, when the U.N. proved incompetent, the United States Department of Fish and Game to prevent widespread poaching decimating endangered species.

A counter-drone offensive might be possible to stop the drones at the U.S. Canada border. In former times the United States could count on Canada to soak up large numbers of invasive foreign combat troops if they somehow made a sneak attack to far North America. By the time they reached the border their casualties from attrition should be very high, yet in the era of cheap high-tech unconventional tech war the assurance that Canada would contain the northern avenue of approach can no longer be considered secure.

In the future, radical changes in the Canadian military posture; a budget increase of 100% to stabilize at 2% of G.D.P. may present an increasing danger to U.S. security, if Canada allows the basing of a large number of European N.A.T.O. forces there. Besides that, Canada probably will work to undermine its own security through immigration policies that are possibly inimical to Canadian security, yet perhaps not.

Canada should be a leader in defense of oceanic fisheries and work to inform the Trump administration of the serious nature of decline that has made fishing generally bad all over. It is a tangible realm for improvement that anyone capable of counting fish and understanding that more is better should know is in need of government directed improvement. Canada is not even a junior partner.

Canada may develop a navy at great cost, or buy an unlabeled, generic aircraft carrier from China, yet an excellent oceanic fisheries observation and scientific quantification fleet might be a more utilitarian investment.

Canadian leadership thrives on controversy, especially regarding U.S. domestic policies Canadians have traditionally favored dissentient viewpoints. It is not certain if anyone yet has discovered where the word ‘Canada’ actually came from; it is like “Tanada’ a little, and ore like ‘nada’, yet it is the Christian concerns that are deficient in Canadian society today, for that is what needs defense more than else. When a nation loses its Christian character, or the salt loses its savor, how can that be restored?

President Trump Can't Send S.I. Mueller to Gitmo

I am not happy that the Mueller investigation has gone on so long. A President should be able to preside without a perennial investigation nagging at him or her. The Special Investigation is highly politically charged and motivated on the face of it. Apparently nothing material has emerged in support of the premise of the investigation; that Donald Trump colluded with Russians to become elected.

If the President could have Mueller arrested, and the Democrat Party leaders liquidated, it would be a different country than the U.S.A and more like the Soviet Union of Joseph Stalin.

I read something in the context of a course on contemporary Russian government. A student essay quoted a Pravda correspondent’s opinion about the American left who regard themselves as progressives for the goal of replacing the traditional family with singles and transexuals. The Pravda guy said that the progressives are just stooges working the will of super-rich capitalists.
It is funny that the communists of Russia share opinions that in America are held by enlightened modern social conservatives to a certain extent.

Any Presidential candidate might want to look to more skilled campaign managers and collaborators that are knowledgeable about the U.S.A. than one could find in Russia I would think. Yet hiring offshore people with plausible deniability to perpetrate acts of political service through criminal means might be something one would expect of leftists for whom the Internationale is the anthem of lore.
