Biden Isn't The Only Conservative Democrat Being Embraced By Republicans-- The Chamber Of Commerce Just Pulled The Trigger For Lots Of Blue Dogs And New Dems

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 16 hours ago
Last week, we noted that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was preparing-- with some partisan pushback from the GOP Establishment-- to endorse a gaggle of freshmen Democrats who have records of being sufficiently anti-working class congressional Democrats and who, generally, are part of the Republican wing of the Democratic Party. And now they have now so: 23 Democratic freshmen and 29 Republican freshmen-- all representing the interests of Wall Street and anti-family, corporate governance. Trump-Republican Eric Esshaki-- a sore loser, pissed off that he didn't get the Chamber's endors... more »

With Over 5,000 Built, The F-4 Phantom II Fighter Is One of a Kind

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 16 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The early Phantoms could carry 18,000 pounds of munitions — three times what the huge B-17 bombers of World War II typically carried. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Iran received 225 F-4s from the United States prior to the Iranian Revolution.

"Operation Red Mirage"?

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 17 hours ago
We should understand that from now until the elections in November, there will be a series of attempts to manipulate the American electorate: to condition it to produce and/or accept a politically correct outcome, one that favors the progressive left and destabilizes the "deplorable" faction in US politics.

First B-21 Stealth Bomber Flight Delayed Until 2022

Peter Suciu at The National Interest - 17 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Digital mock-ups of the new bomber show that it superficially resembles the older B-2 Spirit stealth bomber as both airframes use a flying wing design to minimize their radar cross-section, and both appear to have their engines buried within their airframes to reduce thermal emissions. While the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider long-range strike bomber (LRSB) is expected to eventually complement and then replace the Rockwell B-1 Lancer, Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit and Boeing B-52 Stratofotress it could take a little while longer th... more »

How an “Act of God” Pandemic is Destroying the West

barovsky at The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
Before juxtaposing the U.S. and alternative responses to the corona virus’s economic effects, I would like to step back in time to show how the pandemic has revealed a deep underlying problem. We are seeing the consequences of Western societies painting themselves into a debt corner by their creditor-oriented philosophy of law. Neoliberal anti-government (or more accurately, anti-democratic) ideology has centralized social planning and state power in “the market,” meaning specifically the financial market on Wall Street and in other financial centers.

What’s wrong with the Labour Party?

barovsky at The New Dark Age - 17 hours ago
The history of socialism in this country is, generally speaking, a history of failure. This isn’t the fault of all socialists past, it’s a function of specific historical conjunctures – and the formation of the Labour Party, in its specificity, has played a key role. There are a number of reasons for this, rooted in the history and formation of the party, but they can be summarised by the fact that the Labour Party has never been a Marxist party and has always been collaborationist. If we accept the centrality of Labour to the historical failure of socialism in the UK – in the absenc... more »

Revolver Or Semi-Automatic: What Is the Best Gun for Home Self-Defense

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* Semiautomatic handguns, or pistols, have been around for just over a hundred years. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Pistols also have their own disadvantages. Unless stored “cocked and locked”—that is, loaded, and cocked with the safety on, a pistol needs its slide racked to chamber a round before firing. “Cocked and locked” may not be an option with children in the home, and many modern pistols lack a manual safety. A pistol owner, experiencing fear and stress in a defensive situation, could forget to rack the slide and chamber around un... more »

POW!! Kayleigh McEnany humiliates Nancy Pelosi for style session [Video]

Seraphim Hanisch at The Duran - 20 hours ago
Kayleigh McEnany, President Trump’s press secretary, seized the elitist behavior of House Speaker and aspiring Queen Bee (without the “ee”) Nancy Pelosi and launched Thursday’s daily press briefing with a scathing review of the Speaker’s behavior of late. For McEnany, (and for many Americans, indeed), Nancy Pelosi is the problem. By trying to strongarm the […]

It Was Really Hard To Keep the SR-71 Spy Plane a Secret

Robert Beckhusen at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] More than a half-century later, the SR-71 is a museum piece. But secret aircraft projects, and strange sightings over the western United States, have not stopped. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *In a tightly-knit industry with overlapping suppliers of hardware and spare parts, word got around — and traveling vendors were often a source of grist for the rumor mill. There are few secret projects like U.S. Air Force black projects, and that was certainly the case for the famed SR-71 Blackbird. The SR-71 was no ordinary ai... more »

No, Algeria (Probably) Isn't Buying Stealth Planes From Russia

*David Axe* *Security, Africa* [image: Reuters] For all the drama of its de facto cancelation then restart and for all the talk of exports, the Su-57 program remains under-funded and under-developed. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Algerian law requires that any new aircraft the military imports be flight-tested in Algeria. “The Russians would never let their customers from abroad do something like weapons-testing in Russia,” Cooper explained. “This is something they [the Russians] must always do at home.” Rumors circulated in late December 2019 that Algeria had inked a cont... more »

These 5 Kinds Of Ammo Stand Above All The Rest (As In the Most Lethal)

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Americas* They are the world's deadliest. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Jacketed hollow points are considerably more lethal than regular bullet ammunition. While hollow points have never caught on with regular military forces they are quite common in the self-defense market. Some hollow point rounds—such as Hornady Critical Defense ammunition—have a polymer dot in the center of the opening to aggressively drive bullet expansion. Since their invention in the tenth century, engineers, soldiers and tinkerers have constantly tried to make firearms mo... more »

The Glock 43 Excels As A Subcompact Handgun. Here's Why.

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The G43 is one of the smallest pistols in its class. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Concealed-carry handguns are highly specialized handguns with one mission: actively defend the user until the user is clear of the threat or the threat is eliminated. In situations with other guns present, their limitations make them purely defensive in nature. A concealed-carry handgun owner needs a pistol that can squeeze as much performance out of a small and unobtrusive package as possible. The Glock 43 is one example of such a pistol. Subcompact guns, like s... more »
