Bloomberg Gambles on ‘Attribution’ Group’s Bogus Claims Attributing Heatwaves to Climate Change
A recent article in Bloomberg News, titled “How Scientists Know That Climate Change Juices Heat Waves” cites the work of a recently minted organization that calls itself “World Weather Attribution” (WWA). The WWA claims it can link specific weather events to climate change purportedly driven by human greenhouse gas emissions. This is false.

Beware: A China-U.S. Hypersonic Missile Showdown Has Begun
*Kris Osborn* *China, Asia* U.S. military officials have routinely stated publicly that the United States has been behind China in developing hypersonic weapons. China’s Dong-Feng 17 (DF-17) hypersonic missile was specifically developed to destroy “foreign military bases and fleets in the Western Pacific,” according to the Defense Department’s 2021 report on the People’s Republic of China (PRC). “In 2020, a PRC based military expert described the primary purpose of the DF-17 as striking foreign military bases and fleets in the Western Pacific,” according to the report, which is... read more
Saying Goodbye to the Impressive B-1B Lancer

Fortunately, it never undertook that mission; instead, it ended up hunting insurgents in Afghanistan and firing cruise missiles at nearly abandoned Syrian air bases. Earlier this year, the U.S. Air Force announced plans to retire the B-1B Lancer (also known as the “Bone”) in favor of the new B-21 Raider stealth bomber. The B-1B will remain ... read more
Biden's Nightmare: The Challenge of Countering China’s New Missiles
*Kris Osborn* *China, Asia* China’s missile modernization efforts are immersed in developing newly designed “theater range missiles” and exploring new technologies intended to challenge or defeat ballistic missile defenses. China’s fast-expanding arsenal of missiles involves a large-scale increase in the size of its mission, according to a Defense Department report on China that was published earlier this year. The department has flagged recent advancements that have been made by the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF). “In 2020, the PLARF launched more than 250 balli... read more

Joe Biden Should Worry: China Has a Plan to Invade Taiwan
*Kris Osborn* *China, Asia* China may pursue a dual-pronged strategy that includes a joint blockade, missile strikes and the “seizure” of Taiwan’s offshore islands. China could attempt an air and maritime blockade around Taiwan as part of a broad strategy to pressure the country into surrender, according to a Defense Department report that was published this year. Over the years, many strategists have speculated that China might try to take over Taiwan.

Houthi Embassy Attack Reflects Costs of U.S.-Saudi Relationship
*Will Smith* *Saudi Arabia, Middle East* Changing American interests and Mohammed bin Salman's reckless foreign policy necessitate a dramatic recalibration of the U.S.-Saudi relationship. Reports that Houthi forces detained Yemeni employees of the U.S. State Department after breaching the U.S. Embassy compound on November 10 are yet another reminder of the costs of the United States’ special relationship with Saudi Arabia. The Houthis did not carry out this attack because they are an apocalyptic terrorist group akin to the Islamic State. Instead, the Houthis attacked the Sanaa e... read more
Is the Iran Nuclear Deal Dead Without a U.S. Guarantee?

Will Iran's demand thwart the negotiations? After Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) said in 2015 that the Iran nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), could disappear with a stroke of a pen, Iran’s then-Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif retorted that “the next US president will not be able to withdraw from the d... read more

Sharpless 2-302: The Snowman In The Southern Sky
Over 6,000 light-years away from earth, in the constellation Puppis in the southern sky, is an emission nebula. Emission nebulae are diffuse clouds of gas that have become so charged by the energy of nearby massive stars that they glow with their own light. The radiation from these massive stars strips electrons from the nebula’s hydrogen atoms - ionization. As the energized electrons revert from their higher-energy state to a lower-energy state, they emit energy in the form of light, causing the nebula’s gas to glow. read more read more

Rebuild America and Fight China?
[image: undefined] In an age of TV politicians, President Joe Biden is a figure from another age. He is deeply unexciting and suffering from advanced age – a time in life which the great Charles de Gaulle compared to a “shipwreck.” No mobs of baseball hat-wearing yahoos are about to storm the Capitol for Biden’s sake. However unexciting he may be, President Biden has acted with courage and foresight to enact what America so badly needed: moving away from a wartime to a peacetime economy. America’s economy has been on a full wartime footing since the Vietnam War. The US Navy alone o... read more

The Unfortunate Consequences of Biden's Vaccine Mandate

Enterprises with more than one hundred employees will be required to demonstrate that all employees either are fully vaccinated or both wear masks and are tested on a weekly basis. Texas has already challenged the constitutional basis for the mandate and the initial federal court ruling has blocked the mandate. The final court outcome of this case is uncertain. The scientific basis for the mandate is dubious. We are told that the vaccine is effective and... read more

Correcting The Record About Veterans’ Health Care

TESS: An Unusual Circumbinary Discovery
[image: Story 504769856] Circumbinary planets are those that orbit two stars, a small but growing category of worlds — we’ve detected some 14 thus far, thanks to Kepler’s good work, and that of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The latest entry, TIC 172900988, illustrates the particular challenge such planets represent. Transit photometry is a standard method for finding planets, detecting the now familiar drop in starlight as the planet moves between us and the surface of the host star. Kepler found thousands of exoplanets this way. But when two stars are involved,... read more
