Midnight Meme Of The Day!

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 21 hours ago
*by Noah* My! What an assortment of goons! So many of Trump's Pro-fa goons in one bigly photo collage! What more could a Republikook want? Autographs? Tonight's meme is in honor of *Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band*, the highly influential and ground-breaking album which was released this month in 1967 by The Beatles, much to the consternation of people just like those shown who had just spent the previous year publicly burning the legendary band's albums and inhaling the melting PVC.

Is Time Travel Possible For Humans?

Lucy Strang, Jacqueline Bondell at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Lucy Strang, Jacqueline Bondell* *Science, * The fastest human-made thing is NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, a spaceship sent to the Sun in August, 2018 *Question: Is time travel possible for humans? Jasmine, age 8, Canberra, Australia. * Hi Jasmine. I wish! In books and movies, our favourite characters can use “time-turners” and treehouses to travel through time. Unfortunately, it isn’t that easy for people in real life. Let’s look at why. First, there are two types of “time travel”: going back in time, and going forward in time. *Travelling to the past* As far as we know, trave... more »

Frigates Will Dominate In The Navy's New War Strategy

David Axe at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, * The Navy soon could select a shipyard to build the new class of frigate starting in 2020. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Reducing the number of large warships and adding frigates could help to reduce the cost of a larger fleet. A 9,000-ton-displacement *Arleigh Burke*-class destroyer costs more than $2 billion. A frigate, displacing just 5,000 tons, should cost around $1 billion, according to the Navy. The U.S. Navy might tweak its force-structure goals in order to boost the number of frigates. That's what Vice Adm. Bill Merz, the deputy chief of n... more »

Was the Coronavirus Outbreak an Intelligence Failure?

Erik J. Dahl at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Erik J. Dahl* *Politics, * The U.S. intelligence community has for many years considered the possible threat of disease among the potential risks to national stability and security. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold, it’s clear that having better information sooner, and acting more quickly on what was known, could have slowed the spread of the outbreak and saved more people’s lives. There may be finger-pointing about who should have done better – and President Donald Trump has already begun laying blame. But as a former naval intelligence officer who teaches and s... more »

In Syria's Congested Air Space, America's F-22 Led The Fight Against The Islamic State

Robert Beckhusen at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * The coalition’s war planners also used the F-22s to leverage their low-observable profiles — and far-reaching sensors — while escorting non-stealthy fighters in case Syrian fighters or air-defense systems engaged. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Think of the F-22 like a sniper — it can use force if needed, but its primary job in the Middle East is to provide overwatch. Case in point, in August 2016, F-22s chased after Syrian Su-24 attack jets when they approached where American commandos were operating in northeastern Syria. The F-22’s stealth... more »
