In particular, its focus is on electronic scanning machines that are in at least 80% of US precincts. From a paper ballot, the scanners produce a digital image. That image can then be electronically read, yielding an overall election result in less ... more »

Yet we begin to suspect the opposite… That is, a nation can survive its traitors - but not its fools. That is because a nation’s fools infinitely outnumber a nation’s traitors.

This Fighter Jet Is No F-35 or F-22 (But It Was a Terror in the Sky)
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* The jet remained unmatched for years during the Cold War. *Key Point*: The Viggen is a prime example of Sweden’s ability to develop an advanced aircraft that was ahead of its time in many ways. During the Cold War, Sweden developed a multitude of advanced aircraft. Swedish aircraft served not only in the Swedish Air Force, but also in the Austrian, Danish, and Finnish Air Forces. One of the most advanced designs in its time was the AJ 37 and AJS 37 “Viggen” strike aircraft. The AJ 37 Viggen is the primary variant of the Viggen family of jets, whic... more »
Iran Has Lots of Ways to Strike Back if Donald Trump Ever Attacked
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Middle East* Hezbollah is the gift that just keeps giving for Iran. *Key Point*: Never underestimate the potential of a weak hand. With the possible exception of North Korea, no country in the post–Cold War era has sought to challenge the United States as much as Iran. From the Middle East to Central Asia to Latin America, Tehran has never missed an opportunity to antagonize the U.S. and limit its influence. This is an inherently risky strategy. Not only has the U.S. encircled Iran with military bases on all sides, but America’s military spending in rece... more »

Forget Stealth F-35s: This Missile Revolutionized War in the Sky
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * Here's how. *Key Point*: With active radar homing missiles, aircraft can be free to maneuver after firing at enemy aircraft. At the end of the Cold War, there were major revolutions in the technology used for aerial combat. The most visible one was stealth, with the iconic diamond shaped F-117 and B-2 stealth bombers and the F-22 stealth fighter. But a second revolution was underway, with major implications for the USAF and other air forces. The active radar homing (ARH) air-to-air missile began to replace semi-active radar homing (SARH) air-to-air mis... more »
Truly Nuts: This Was America's Plan to Survive A Russian Nuclear Attack
*Zachary Keck* *Security, Americas* Desperate times call for desperate measures. *Key Point*: The survivors would likely envy the dead. America emerged from World War II as the most powerful nation on earth. Not only did it produce half of the world’s economic output, but it was also in sole possession of the most devastating weapon ever created. Initially, U.S. officials believed America’s nuclear monopoly would endure for some time. After the war, Gen. Leslie Groves, the brilliant manager of the Manhattan Project, predicted the Soviet Union would not explode its first atomic b... more »

Blackman, Barnett, and the Bostock decision
Josh Blackman and Randy Barnett argue in *National Review* that the Supreme Court was wrong to hold that discrimination against LGBT people is sex discrimination. They claim that Justice Gorsuch’s opinion for the Court misunderstands Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which forbids employers to “discriminate against” employees “because of . . . sex.” They argue that this phrase, in its ordinary meaning in 1964 (when the Civil Rights Act was passed), did not simply mean, as Justice Gorsuch’s opinion declared, treating someone “worse than others who are similarly situated.” It i... more »

Putting America's COVID-19 Statistics Into Context

Let's start with this graphic from the COVID Tracking Project which shows the number of new positive cases of COVID-19 on a daily basis: That looks very alarming, doesn't it? The number of new daily cases has risen from a 7-day... more »

"A Look to the Heavens"
“What will become of these galaxies? Spiral galaxies NGC 5426 and NGC 5427 are passing dangerously close to each other, but each is likely to survive this collision. Typically when galaxies collide, a large galaxy eats a much smaller galaxy. In this case, however, the two galaxies are quite similar, each being a sprawling spiral with expansive arms and a compact core. As the galaxies advance over the next tens of millions of years, their component stars are unlikely to collide, although new stars will form in the bunching of gas caused by gravitational tides. *Click image for larger... more »
Chet Raymo, “All Men Have The Stars”
*“All Men Have The Stars”* by Chet Raymo "At the end of his big-bang book "The First Three Minutes", PDF, physicist Steven Weinberg famously wrote: "The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless." His point is this: We have discovered in this century that the human species is just one of billions of species of life on a typical planet near a star that is just one of a trillion stars in a galaxy among hundreds of billions of galaxies. It is no longer possible, he implies, to think that the universe was made for us or that our existence is in any way im... more »
