2020 Film Roundup: The Oscars
Batocchio, Vagabond Scholar - 6 hours ago

Normally this post is also "The Year in Review," linking my reviews of all the films I've seen for the year in question. Because of the pandemic, I didn't see many films in theaters before

Wisconsin Catholic Priest Defies Authorities and Warns His Flock on the Dangers of the COVID Injections
Brian-Admin, Health Impact News - 6 hours ago
We've called out those in the clergy who have claimed to represent Christ and are urging people to go out and get the COVID injections, so it is only proper that we also give credit to the clergy when credit is due. A Catholic priest in Wisconsin, James Altman of St. James The Less in La Crosse, has incurred the wrath of the corporate media for daring to defy health regulations, and for warning his congregation about the experimental COVID shots, pleading with them to NOT get them and become "guinea pigs." James Altman has pretty much defied everyone in authority above him: the lo...

Why Sweden’s Record-Holding Bankanon Artillery Can’t Deter Russia
Charlie Gao, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Charlie Gao* *Sweden, Artillery, Europe* It possessed the ability to empty its entire magazine of 15 shells within 45 seconds, a world record. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *While this incredible rate of fire was definitely an advantage, to achieve it the Bandkanon made significant compromises. The whole vehicle was incredibly heavy for its time, weighing in in excess of 50 tons. Combined with relatively weak engines, this meant that the Bandkanon could not move rapidly off road or on road. During the 20th century, Sweden developed many weapons at the top of their class de...
Times Are Changing and the U.S. Navy Must Transform With It
James Holmes, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*James Holmes* *U.S. Navy, * History didn't end with the fall of the Soviet Union, and the U.S. Navy has a lot of catching up to do. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Whatever maritime forces do to bolster capability, resolve, and belief helps cast the deep shadow America must cast to deter China—and act as a trustworthy steward over the system. Were the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps after the Cold War and the hippy movement of 1968 separated at birth? In a sense, yes. Both made it an article of faith that history had ended or was simply irrelevant. Both took to extremes Henry F...

Luboš Motl, The Reference Frame - 6 hours ago
A retarded warrior against slavery – which has been abolished for a long time, indeed – has demonstrated similar comrades' total absence of basic education, intelligence, and common sense. Under the blog post about Newton who benefited from colonialism, he denied the fact that every sensible person knows, namely that slavery (like many things that are mindlessly frowned upon by leftists today) has played an important role for the development of many civilizations, starting with ancient Greece and Rome and later the United States of America.

Stimulus Check Alert: Who Exactly Can Get A Stimulus Check Anyway?
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus, Americas* [image: Stimulus Law] Most undocumented immigrants are not eligible, but some of them can get the much-needed relief. *Key point: *The fine point of the law matters, even for undocumented immigrants who are struggling during the coronavirus lockdowns. Will they see any of the stimulus money? The American Rescue Plan, signed into law by President Biden in early March, distributes checks to most Americans. Part of the popularity of the stimulus, and those like it last year, is that if some small subset of Americans receives payments and others...

Is Island-Chain Defense The Key to Repel Chinese Maritime Dominance?
James Holmes, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*James Holmes* *South China Sea, Asia-Pacific* This strategy might just tick all the boxes when it comes to deterring Chinese expansionism in the Pacific. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The United States is the steward of the status quo in the world’s oceans and seas. When nothing happens, that’s a good thing; it means the status quo holds. Maritime pressure promises stewardship on the cheap. It’s always gratifying to see your ideas take wing.

$1,400 Stimulus Checks Are Chump Change. One Democrat Had a Bigger Idea.
Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Check, * [image: Stimulus Check College] Should the Democrats and President Biden listen to Andrew Yang and his idea for a universal basic income? *Key point: *A recurring stimulus could help the economy and ensure folks are able to take risks like start businesses.

How the Navy Could Send China's New Aircraft Carriers to the Ocean Floor
James Holmes, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*James Holmes* *Aircraft Carriers, Asia Pacific* Beijing has made believers of important audiences, including the scribes who toil away at the Pentagon producing estimates of Chinese martial might. But there's reason for some skepticism about their dominance. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* That *carrier-killer imagery* resonates with Western audiences comes as little surprise. It implies that Chinese rocketeers can send the pride of the U.S. Navy to the bottom from a distance, and sink U.S. efforts to succor Asian allies in the process. Ah, yes, the “carrier-killer.” China ...
Yes, China and America Have Been at War Before
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Korean War, Asia* The experience of the Korean War should serve as a grim lesson for policymakers in both Washington and Beijing. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Poor communication between Washington and Beijing inflated minor issues and extended the war well beyond its productive limits. In November 1950, China and the United States went to war. Thirty-six thousand Americans died, along with upwards of a quarter million Chinese, and half a million or more Koreans. If the United States was deeply surprised to find itself at war with the People’s Republic of Chin...

Stephen Silver, The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Stephen Silver* *Stimulus Check, Americas* [image: 3600 Stimulus] Yes, unfortunately you will need to return the money if you received the payment in error. *Key point: *Not everyone is eligble for the check, including those who might accidentally think they are. Here is why legally you need to give the money back. Most people are thankful to receive that $1,400, and there is evidence that the distribution of the checks has been beneficial to the economy, with retail sales posting major gains in the month of March. Others are still waiting for their payments, for various reason...
