A New ‘SR-71’ Hypersonic Spy Plane Could Soon Be Flying
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 8 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Technology, Americas* Is speed the new stealth? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The SR-72’s promoters argue that “speed is the new stealth,” reflecting a growing belief in some quarters that improved networked sensors will eventually diminish the survivability of stealth aircraft, making speed once again more prominent as means of defense. Hypersonic weapons—those capable of flying over five times the speed of sound—are the hot new buzz word of defense industrial complexes across the globe. China, Russia and the United States have all vigorously and rela...

Fauci: 'Wear Two Masks!' Is Our Covid Policy Schizophrenic?
Daniel McAdams, Peace and Prosperity - 8 hours ago
President Biden's top coronavirus advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has just announced that it's "just common sense" that people should wear two masks. Last March he said no one should be walking around with masks on. Then he said put a mask on. Meanwhile CNBC featured a segment advising that people wear THREE masks! Is all of this "the science"? No wonder that, according to a recent study, Americans are four times more depressed and anxious than they were in 2019. Watch today's Liberty Report:
"I'm offended."
Peter Cresswell, Not PC - 8 hours ago
We don't have to offend, but we do have a right to. Just as others have a right to judge us for giving offence. But being offended is not an argument. Being offended, as Stephen Fry says, is nothing more than a whine. *Self-esteem, sensitivity, respect for others’ beliefs, renunciation of prejudice are all good as far as they go [says the author of The Kindly Inquisitors, Jonathan Rauch]. But as primary social goals they are incompatible with the peaceful and productive advancement of human knowledge. To advance knowledge, we must all sometimes suffer. Worse than that, we must in...

New Horizons in Workplace Surveillance
Peter Greene, CURMUDGUCATION - 7 hours ago
Work-from-home has triggered an explosion in Surveil-from-the-office features and products. There has certainly been a boom in programs specifically for surveillance of employees who are at home. These are creepy, with a reported 81% of the top programs logging keystrokes-- so that the boss can see exactly what you've been typing. But there's something even more insidious about regular old productivity software being tweaked so that it can do the surveilling as well. As you might expect, Microsoft has been all over this trend, with fun things like a "productivity score" built into...

In that classic American tale by Washington Irving published in 1819, an amiable but shiftless farmer strolls out of his colonial village to go hunting in the Catskill Mountains. There he happens upon a group of mysterious men, drinks deep from their keg of liquor, and falls into a long sleep. He awakens to find that he’s grown a white beard down to his belly and ...
Introduction To Budget ‘Reconciliation’
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 10 hours ago
With majorities in the House and Senate, Democratic leaders may well use a special legislative process called “reconciliation” to quickly advance high-priority fiscal legislation. Created by the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, reconciliation allows for expedited consideration of certain tax, spending, and debt limit legislation. In the Senate, reconciliation bills aren’t subject to filibuster and the scope of amendments is limited, giving this process real advantages for enacting controversial budget and tax measures. This paper addresses some frequently asked questions about re...
