Looks Like Obama Admin Had A Hand In This Pandemic
Magnus McCoy – April 21, 2020 The origin of this virus has layers. If you listen to the Chinese they are trying to dodge any and all blame claiming we are somehow responsible. The Chinese have already proven how credible they are as we still have no idea how many people were actually infected or died there. And it looks like they have some new outbreaks. This pandemic started in Wuhan, China in a lab where poor safety standards allowed for this virus to leak out to the public. But in a surprising new twist, it turns out this lab was being funded by the … Continue reading →

For The Trumpist Regime, Everything Is Falling Apart
Nothing seems to work. Trump tried negotiating an increase in oil prices but 3 days later they resumed their nose-dive-- as did the stock market (down another 2.4% yesterday). His regime has failed to deliver the emergency $1,200 checks that everyone should have had in their pockets almost a month ago. Betsy DeVos botched the $6 billion emergency funding for college students. And as Trump tells federal employees to prepare to come back to work, the number of confirmed infections shot up by around 20,000 overnight. A new YouGov poll shows that the "Fire Fauci" rallies that the Tr... more »

Am I a prophet, or what? - Illinois edition
I've been warning about the budget woes and pension underfunding of Illinois in general, and Chicago in particular, for years. It's a classic case of politicians who spend, spend, spend (using money they haven't got - deficit spending) in order to favor the constituencies (unions, liberal and progressive pressure groups, etc.) that re-elect them. (Illinois isn't alone in that, of course. Earlier this year there was a sneaky, underhanded attempt to fix up a federal bailout [to the tune of billions, perhaps even trillions of dollars] for such mismanaged state pension systems.

What Happened the Last Time the U.S. Air Force Ran Out of Money?
*David Axe* *Security, * History is a guide: In 2012, automatic budget sequestration cut deeply into the Air Force’s training and operations budgets. The service’s Air Combat Command got just $3.1 billion—three-quarters of what it needed to fully train the thousands of pilots flying the command’s 1,600 F-15, F-16 and F-22 fighters, A-10 attack jets and B-1 bombers. The U.S. Air Force was feeling budgetary pressure even before the novel-coronavirus pandemic swept the planet starting in December 2019.

Chinese Soldiers Seen Testing New QBZ-191 Assault Rifle. How Deadly Is It?
*Peter Suciu* *Technology, Asia* Given the issues with the QBZ-95, it certainly seems as if the PLA is looking for a fresh start with the QBZ-191. Last week Chinese state media released footage of the People's Liberation Army's (PLA's) next-generation assault rifle, the QBZ-191. This would replace the QBZ-95-1 bullpup that has been in service since 1997. With this new assault rifle China appears to be adopting a weapon with a more "traditional" layout – including a magazine forward of the pistol grip. The video, which was released on state-owned broadcaster China Central Televis... more »

Does America's GBU-44/B Viper Micro Missile Have A Future?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Lethality was a problem for the GBU-44/B and led to its eventual withdrawal from usage. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The need for a better UAV munition drove the development of the first micro munitions. As Western militaries shift back into a conventional focus after spending more than a decade fighting insurgencies, they are bringing along some tech developed for counterinsurgency that has applications in a peer or near-peer conflict.

*Michael Peck* *Security, * Gun trucks. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* The Russian army isn’t well prepared for this sort of threat Armed pickup trucks, or “technicals,” have become the poor man’s tank. Across Africa and Central Asia, insurgents and warlords have found that a Toyota pickup can become a formidable weapon when armed with a machine gun, cannon or rocket launcher. They’re fast and nimble to swarm a bigger opponent like a tank, and far, far cheaper to buy and maintain than an armored vehicle. Fearing attacks by technicals in Central Asia, Russia is deploying... more »

*Jo Batey, Keith Parry* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] They still need ways to exercise. The spread of COVID-19 is changing life for billions of people around the world.
