Scandal-Ridden TN DOE Lies to Parents about Opting Out of Tests
Jim Horn, Schools Matter - 3 hours ago
Andy Spears recently shared a memo from the TN Department of Education denying denying parents the right to opt out of annual state testing. Even though the invalid, unreliable, and racist tests have never been morally defensible, they are particularly indefensible during the present pandemic.

Some U.S. Military Leaders Think Some Extremism Is Better Than Others
Pedro Gonzalez, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Pedro Gonzalez* *U.S. Military, United States* It’s worth comparing Washington’s Black Lives Matter riots to what happened at the Capitol Building to see just how partisan and, ironically, extremist military leadership has become in its political outlook. The Pentagon has a problem. Troops throughout the armed forces aren’t going along quietly with programming designed to educate them about “extremist” views and activities. The problem, says military leadership, is that too many enlisted personnel are wondering why last year’s violence fueled by Black Lives Matter isn’t viewed b...
The Dangerous Politicization of Energy Policy
Todd Royal, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Todd Royal* *Climate Change, World* Environmentalism has become identity politics with fraudulent claims and blackouts are the inevitable outcomes. What if I said there is no climate emergency? Denier! The hordes would scream. Now let’s tone down the rhetoric. Climate science should be void of politics and more scientific. Energy policy should begin “addressing the uncertainties and exaggerations in predicting global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures,” according to the Global Climate ...
Meet the JF-17 Fighter Jet China Hopes Pakistan Can Use Against India
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Pakistani Air Force, Asia* [image: Pakistani Air Force] This warplane is all a part of Beijing using Pakistan as a thorn to keep India distracted and off balance. *Key point:* The JF-17 is a decent aircraft and comes with Russian engines. How might it do against the Indian Air Force? The 2019 India-Pakistan border skirmish resulted in major shake-ups within the Indian Air Force (IAF). The most accepted narrative, that of a loss of an IAF MiG-21 Bison to no losses of the Pakistan Air Force bodes poorly for the IAF. But interestingly, according to a July interview, t...
Surprise: America’s South Korean Ally Still Relies on Russian Tanks
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* Is the Cold War really over? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Compared to the original K1 tank which was Korea’s most advanced tank at the time, the T-80U possessed far more advantages, packing a 125-millimeter gun to the K1’s 105-millimeter, as well as better advanced armor technology. The T-80U was the most advanced tank on the Korean Peninsula when they first arrived. One of the great ironies of the military balance in the Koreas is the fact that South Korea operates more advanced Russian tanks than North Korea. This situation came about in t...

*Dan Goure* *U.S. Navy, * Equipping surface ships with small unmanned aerial systems expands their surveillance horizons, lethality, and overall effectiveness at a low cost. The world’s oceans and seas are vast. Maritime challenges to U.S. interests and international legal and humanitarian responsibilities are increasing in both quantity and quality.
