Biden's insane energy policy
Nick Arama: In the happy virtual reality that Joe Biden paints, everyone will get around on electric public transportation. Except in this present reality, Joe Biden’s green dreams are harming Americans right now by shutting down our own energy independence, having to rely upon other countries, building up their options while cutting our own. He cut the Keystone XL pipeline and the drilling that the Willow Project in Alaska would have provided. Now he’s even considering cutting Enbridge’s Line 5. How significant is that? According to Enbridge: Line 5 supplies 65% of propane dem... read more

In 1969, United States Went to War with North Korea a Second Time
*Kyle Mizokami* *North Korea, Asia* With the Cold War raging and the Vietnam War already ongoing, the United States could ill afford a new war in Asia. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Ultimately, the Nixon administration—not dovish by any stretch of the imagination—declined to retaliate. April 15, 1969 marked one of the deadliest days for the United States in postwar Asia. The shootdown of a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance aircraft off the coast of North Korea was unprovoked, and cost the lives of thirty-one Americans. Despite stern calls from Congress to avenge the deaths of the ... read more
You Have (Almost) No Chance of Becoming a U.S. Marine
*Caleb Larson* *U.S. Military, United States* The Marine Corps has traditionally eschewed the term special forces: if all Marines are elite, then what’s the point of calling some Marines more elite than others? *Here's What You Need to Know*: A high dropout rate is a testament to how challenging both the physical and mental aspects of Recon selection are.

China's Nightmare: The Future of U.S. Fighter Plane Weaponry Is Lasers

One American destroyer even received authorization to use its onboard laser if needed defensively while on deployment in the Middle East.

It’s Time to Debunk Myths About the Storied AK-47
*Peter Suciu* *AK-47, * Perhaps the biggest myth is that the AK-47 is so robust it will work in any environment. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The myth of "self-cleaning" holds true with the AK-47, and, while the weapon can work in harsh conditions, if it isn't maintained it will quickly become as effective a wood and metal club.

PA: How's "Twenty Strong Men" vs. School Board Guy Doing?
Steve Lynch is a QAnon-quoting, insurrection-joining, Patriot Party-supporting, fully-Trumpified fitnes trainer who, you may recall, made a splash while running for Northampton County executive.

1907 Pistol Trials: Here’s Why the U.S. Military Didn’t Issue .45 Lugers
*Peter Suciu* *Luger Pistol, Americas* Both Savage and Colt manufactured their respective quota, but Luger only made two. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *In the 1907 pistol trials, the Luger was considered alongside designs by Browning, who was working for Colt, and Savage. The U.S. military required that each designer supply 200 examples in .45 ACP. The Army had already purchased some 1,000 7.65 Lugers and a few in the 9mm, but it required the pistols be in .45.

America’s USS Wasp Aircraft Carrier Wasn’t as Fearsome as Its Name
*Kyle Mizokami* *Aircraft Carriers, Americas* Wasp was uniquely susceptible to damage and the ship’s best bet to avoid sinking in combat was to outmaneuver the enemy. *Here's What You Need to Know*: *Wasp* was not a terrible aircraft carrier, but she had enough shortcomings to succumb to battle damage in September 1942. The U.S. Navy rose to prominence during World War II from just one of many major naval powers to the undisputed greatest in just four short years. This was in large part due to the expansion and effective use of its aircraft carrier fleet. Although most American ... read more

Biden's Build Back Boondoggle discriminates against whites
Ann Coulter: The White House's official press release announcing the Build Back Better Act (BBB) pitches it as a "PLAN TO REBUILD THE MIDDLE CLASS." It rhapsodizes about "working families" squeezed by the economy, and reminds voters that "Biden promised to rebuild the backbone of the country -- the middle class."
