A rant about NPR from long time listener
“National Public Radio covers, in the absence of covering the case of the opposite side adequately, and supports the causes of abortion, homosexual, and transgender “rights.” Its editors directly instruct on-air staff how to speak about matters of abortion: reference to “babies” or the “unborn” in the wombs of pregnant women is *verboten*. As one commentator noted, NPR’s linguistic policing has nothing to do with objectivity; it’s all about shifting public opinion. NPR shoves same-sex “marriage” in our faces, but it lets traditional marriage and other forms of moral restraint fend ... more »
The Imposter Syndrome
Is there no end to attempts to make women victims? A recent issue of JAMA (August 6, 2019) had an op-ed on "imposter syndrome." I didn't know it had a name, but it's that fear that some very successful people have of being exposed as a fraud--that they shouldn't really be a success despite all the evidence--money, fame, top position, etc. They attribute it to "luck," or timing, or even that they've duped others. And according to the authors (I think female, although can't tell from the names), this syndrome affects more women in medicine than men, and rather than the person seekin... more »
I directly asked Chinese scholars about a "Chinese-led world order"
I was among the first people to provide intelligence to the White House favoring an overture to China, in 1969. For decades I played a sometimes prominent role in urging administrations of both parties to provide China with technological and military assistance. I largely accepted the assumptions shared by America's top diplomats and scholars, which were inculcated repeatedly in American strategic discussions, commentary, and media analysis. We believed that American aid to a fragile China whose leaders thought like us would help China become a democratic and peaceful power wit... more »

Faked Documents - More than You'd Think
Normally I wouldn’t watch a Melissa McCarthy movie. I just don’t care for her because of some of the things and positions she had taken in her personal life. However, I was curious about her film, *Can You Ever Forgive Me?* This is the story of a one-time bestselling writer, Lee Israel, who fell on hard times and her attempts to pull herself up financially. So, you’re asking yourself, “What in the hell does this have to do with UFOs?” Nothing. But it was what Lee Israel (McCarthy) did to earn money… She began to forge documents.

Trump's Brown Shirts

I always wanted to know-- but never found anything definitive-- how many Jews voted for Hitler in the 1932 presidential election and for Nazi Party in the Reichstag elections in 1932 and 1933. The elections in July and November of '32 and in March of 1933 led to the deaths of 6 million European Jews. Between 1932 and 1939 about 300,000 German Jews wisely fled the... more »

Not Even a Mountain Can Stop the U.S. Navy's New Experimental Railgun
*Dave Majumdar* *Technology, * Coming to a theater near you. *Eventually, the Navy will have to test a full-up railgun. The trick will be to find a suitable range where the weapon can be fired at maximum range and velocity. But if the test program moves from Dahlgren, Virginia, to the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, it won’t be able to conduct the at-sea demo onboard a fast transport.* While the U.S. Navy had announced last year that it would take a prototype railgun to sea onboard the expeditionary fast transport USNS *Trenton* (JHSV-5) in 2016, the service may have to... more »
China's Supersonic JH-7A Fighter-Bomber Is A Blast From the Past
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Should America be worried? *China has also been developing a supersonic YJ-12 anti-ship missile, which it claims the JH-7 will carry. This would prove much more difficult to defend against than the YJ-83, as it would be able to race up to four times the speed of sound and attack vessels up to 250 miles away. * On August 8, Chinese media reported that the People’s Liberation Army Air Force had unveiled a new variant of its JH-7A maritime strike jet at the Russian Aviadarts aviation competition. The new model, called the JH-7AII, was not visibly dif... more »
China Made the J-10 to Fight America's F-16, but Is Their Plane Now out of Date?
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Asia* [image: By 乘号同学 - Own work, CC0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=74408147] It doesn't look good. *As China lacked the technology to build its own advanced jet engines when the J-10 was being built, the intakes lead to a Russian-built engine: the AL-31. * In the 1990s, China introduced its answer to the MiG-29 and F-16. The J-10 was a light single-seat multirole aircraft meant to replace older J-7 and J-8 aircraft as the bulk of forces a possible adversary would meet. When China started to reopen itself to the world in the 1980s, ... more »
Everything You Need to Know About the Difference Between the F-35A and F-35B
*Charlie Gao* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5383112/f-35-demo-team-performs-defenders-liberty-air-space-show] We've got the details. *The two and ten pylons on the wings also can carry less weight, so the F-35B has less overall munitions capability than the F-35A in that regard as well. However, it’s unlikely that the F-35B would want to operate at its max load in the first place given that it cannot vertically land with the maximum weight. * Often times, the F-35 has been colloquially referred to as one aircraft in the media, or various versions... more »

Good question, Chicago!
Chicago politicians have consistently blamed the "flood" of guns coming in from outside for the incredibly high figures for gun crime in that city. That's nonsense, of course, but they continue to parrot the same old excuse. Just days ago, Mayor Lightfoot got into a Twitter spat with Senator Ted Cruz on the subject. I think the problem is nicely summed up in this meme, that I found over at Chief Nose Wetter's place. Good question, Ms. Mayor! Let's hear your answer! Peter
