Empowering SJW Protesters: WashPost’s Blackistone Slams IOC’s Ban On Protest
By Jay Maxson ~ Ignoring pressure from woke U.S. athletes for the freedom to protest, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is standing firm against social justice madness. Washington Post liberal Kevin Blackistone predicts the IOC ban will only empower the radicals at the Summer Games in Tokyo. Rule 50 of the Olympic charter reads in […]

Arms Race: Can Missiles Now Destroy Any Bomber?
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Anti-Aircraft Missile, World* Missile systems also have a significantly higher cost-per-shot than gun systems. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While missiles are great for keeping things light and mobile, there may be issues with going to completely missiles. Anti-air guns always had a strong anti-infantry capability due to their explosive ammunition and high rate of fire. During the Cold War, short-range air defense (SHORAD) was dominated by gun-based vehicles. From the German Gepard to the American VADS to the Soviet Shilka, rapid fire autocannons were the p...
New Missiles Could Make Iran’s F-14 Tomcats a Serious Threat
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *F-14 Tomcat, Middle East* Iran’s stockpile of these missiles is rapidly dwindling. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* Iran’s upgrade is a great missile for the last war it fought. It’s not a good missile for the next war it may fight. Iran’s F-14A Tomcats are an anomaly in the region. While most other air forces in the region field multirole or air superiority fighter, the F-14A is a true interceptor with the speed, power and long-range missiles to strike at range then fly away before the enemy has a chance to lock on. This is, of course, enabled by the AIM-54A P...
The Need for Taiwan's Forthcoming Submarine Program Is More Than Pressing
James Holmes, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*James Holmes* *Submarines, Asia Pacific* The 1982 Falklands War provides some insight into why they need them and how to use them. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *A vibrant undersea fleet would pay political and strategic dividends that the current contingent of two aging and two positively elderly boats could never yield. New submarines for Taiwan? Yes, please! Submarine construction is poised to become a reality now that Washington has lifted restrictions that once prohibited exports of equipment to outfit or arm Taiwanese boats. It appears indigenous builders will const...
$9,800 Stimulus Checks? Here Is How Much You Might Be Owed.
Ethen Kim Lieser, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Ethen Kim Lieser* *Stimulus Check, Americas* The expanded child tax credit and the number of children you can could raise how much money your family receives. *Key point: *How much money you make does matter. In addition, the number of children in each household can also change the total amount. Many Americans might be lulled into believing that the coronavirus relief checks currently being sent out by the millions all have the amount of $1,400. That is just straight-up wrong. According to the details of President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, what you’re actually entitled ...
Cold War Super Weapons: The 5 Strangest Weapons America Never Built
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Robert Farley* *Cold War, Americas* These systems might have had transformative effects had they survived. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Only rarely does an isolated technological achievement lend decisive advantage in tactical engagements. Weapons die for all kinds of different reasons. Sometimes they happen at the wrong time, either in the midst of defense austerity, or with the wrong constellation of personnel. Sometimes they fall victim to the byzantine bureaucracy of the Pentagon, or to turf fights between the services. And sometimes they die because they were a bad idea ...
For 40 Years, Stalin’s T-10 Tank was Ready to Run Over NATO
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 4 minutes ago
*Charlie Gao* *Soviet Union, T-10 Tank, Europe* Adopted in 1953, the tank served for over 40 years before finally being decommissioned in 1997. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The T-10 was actually better in some ways than the newer tanks, perhaps simply due to its size. The stabilizer was more effective than the T-62s, and of course the high caliber coaxial and commander weapons fit is nothing to scoff at. The T-10 is one of the longest-lasting tank designs in the world. Adopted in 1953, the tank served for over 40 years before finally being decommissioned in 1997. Along the w...

New Social Distancing Guidelines For The Partially Vaccinated
Hank Campbell, Science 2.0 blogs - 5 hours ago
The Six Foot Rule is only a rule in a 'rule of thumb' way; it's okay for an estimate but you use a real ruler to build a house. Analyses instead show that the most important things are a mix of masks and ventilation. What about outdoors where ventilation is terrific? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has now relaxed its guidelines and are in line with what the science says; namely that unless you're in a protest unmasked, you'll be fine. And the Biden administration wants to use that to promote vaccines as well. read more

Arrman Kyaw, Diverse - 6 hours ago
As it stands, student-athletes — “amateur athletes” — participating in NCAA-affiliated sports cannot earn money from their name, image and likeness (NIL).

This issue, although longstanding, is again coming to a head as the NCAA is and will be facing more opposition to its rule in both the court of law and legislation.
Meet the Super Stealthy, Budget-Friendly Subs The U.S. Navy Doesn't Have
James Holmes, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Submarines, * This is the right force for the times, and it can be had at a low, low price compared to an SSN contingent. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The sheer volume of war material needed to vanquish the Axis forced U.S. Navy fleet designers to eschew the natural preference of military folk for armaments and platforms that are topflight in all respects.

Robert Farley, The National Interest - 3 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *World War II, Europe* The country surrendered for complex reasons. *Here's What You Need to Know*: The eventual course of World War II put an especially bad light on the decision of the French military and political hierarchy to cease resistance against Germany. France surrendered to the Nazis in 1940 for complex reasons. The proximate cause, of course, was the success of the German invasion, which left metropolitan France at the mercy of Nazi armies. But the German victory opened profound rifts in French society. Instead of fleeing the country and keeping up th...

Why Mexico’s Legalization of Marijuana Is the Right Step to Fight the Cartels
