When millions deny truth many men are afraid to affirm it; for it takes great courage to defy human tradition long established in human thought and feeling. Yet it is these very burdens of misconception that are responsible for so much human discord, and their continuance has remained to ...

Yet we deeply rely on QM to figure out the organization of matter at molecular, atomic, and subatomic level. It works, despite the open questions. And today we deeply rely on QM...

*Michael Rubin* *Ethiopia, Africa* By choosing unilateralism over negotiation, Abiy may have cemented his legacy not as a Nobel Peace Laureate, but rather as the man who ended a country whose history dates back millennia. The war in Ethiopia’s Tigray Province is now more than six months old. Jeffrey Feltman, the Biden administration’s special envoy, has just completed his first trip to the region but, for Ethiopian unity, it may be too late. Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia’s prime minister and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has sent his country beyond the point of no return. Abiy’s stated rea...
How America Can Help Re-shape the Post-Soviet Countries
William Courtney, Howard J. Shatz, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*William Courtney, Howard J. Shatz* *Democracy, Eurasia* The West would make the most difference in Soviet Union spin-off countries by focusing on mid-ranked states, especially those undertaking reforms. Since the Soviet collapse in 1991, the performance of the fifteen newly independent states has varied widely. Some do well in political, economic, and social dimensions, some fare poorly, and some are mixed. To varying degrees, the West has helped states develop and integrate into the world economy. The successes show this is possible. The West might persist in encouraging refor...
Fourth Stimulus Payment Update: Could It Happen?
Eli Fuhrman, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Eli Fuhrman* *New Stimulus Payment, * If a bill calling for a fourth-round of stimulus payments does come to fruition, either as part of the Biden administration’s current proposals or included in a future piece of legislation, it will come as welcome relief for many Americans. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Future rounds of stimulus payments should also keep in mind that Black and Latinx Americans on average hold larger consumer debt burdens. The third-round of stimulus payments were not protected from garnishments, meaning they could be claimed by debt collectors. The c...
Is Annalena Baerbock Germany’s Next Chancellor?
Rainer Zitelmann, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Rainer Zitelmann* *Politics, Europe* Baerbock, who is forty, would be the youngest chancellor in the history of the Federal Republic. She would also be the most left-wing Chancellor Germany has ever seen. German voters will be heading to the polls on Sept. 26. With the country’s general election fast approaching, there is every chance that Annalena Baerbock could become Germany’s next chancellor at the end of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s sixteen-year premiership. For several weeks now, Baerbock’s party*—*the Greens*—*has been in first place in most opinion polls, ahead of Merkel’...
The Damaging Dictatorship of Xi Jinping
Dan Negrea, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Dan Negrea* *China, Asia* The first and most consequential casualties of any dictatorship are truth and freedom of expression. The Chinese Communist Party and its leader want to stay in power for a very long time. The party is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year under the slogan “Follow the Party Forever.” And Xi Jinping plans to be dictator for life. This is unhappy news for the Chinese people and for the world. Dictatorships are oppressive and inefficient at home, and aggressive abroad. And personal dictatorships are particularly bad. All Communist parties hav...
An Entire Chinese Submarine Crew Suffocated To Death
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Chinese Submarines, Asia* The entire crew suffocated to death at their posts. *Here's What You Need to Remember:* The Chinese government is not disposed to transparency regarding its military accidents. For example, it does not release the results of its investigations into jet fighter crashes and it never publicly acknowledged earlier submarine accidents. At the time, some commentators expressed surprise that Beijing acknowledged the incident at all, and speculated it was obliquely related to contemporaneous criticism of Beijing’s attempts to downplay the SA...
What's Missing from the Army's Missile Defense? Lasers.
Michael Peck, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Lasers, The Americas* Pulsed lasers are already used commercially for precision cutting and etching. So how hard could it be to make a weapon worthy of the U.S. military? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *For the United States and other nations that are developing laser weapons to destroy fast-moving or hard-to-hit objects such as ballistic missiles or drones, the ability to deliver a quick, intense burst of energy on a moving target is vital. The U.S. Army wants a deadlier laser weapon that won’t just burn a target, but rather will slice it up. Instead of low...

The U.S. Army’s Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) has broken a new performance record as it inches closer to deployment readiness.

Biden’s Trillion Dollar Plans Make the Stimulus Checks Look Small
Eli Fuhrman, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Eli Fuhrman* *Stimulus Plan, * It does not appear as though the Biden administration is planning to pursue additional stimulus payments in the near future. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Americans should instead expect to see indirect benefits afforded to them should the two plans successfully pass into law. The American Infrastructure Plan, for example, will look to create new jobs through investments into a number of areas including manufacturing, transportation, housing, research and development, and digital infrastructure. The distribution of stimulus payments will lik...
What's Behind the 'UFOs' Snooping Around Iran's Nuclear Facilities?
David Axe, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*David Axe* *Iran, Middle East* Iran has reported sightings of American drones in its backyard. But some aspects of its story don't add up. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Rumors abound that the Air Force and CIA operate a stealthy new drone that has not been disclosed to the public. Even if they do, it’s unlikely that the new UAV is capable of Mach-10 hypersonic flight—the Pentagon is still struggling to reach Mach five. Iran is the only other country besides the United States to operate arguably history’s most powerful interceptor aircraft, the F-14 Tomcat. And the Islami...
20 to 1: How the F-35 Can Singlehandedly Destroy an Air Force
Mark Episkopos, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Mark Episkopos* *F-35, Americas* The fifth-generation fighter’s stellar performance record in a series of recent high-profile exercises should put many fears to rest. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The F-35 achieved this remarkable kill ratio in a realistic battlefield setting that included notional enemy air defenses, multiple air threats, and electronic countermeasures (ECM). Impressive as it was, the F-35’s combat performance doesn’t tell the whole story. Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II stealth jet fighter is no stranger to recurrent, if not always convincing, media...
Can't File Your Taxes on Monday? Here's How to Get an Extension.
Trevor Filseth, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Trevor Filseth* *Taxes, * [image: Tax Filing] Fortunately, if you need more time to file, the IRS has made the process of filing for an extension fairly easy. In most years, the tax deadline is April 15. Owing to uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic, the IRS extended the tax deadline to May 17, giving consumers extra time to get their finances in order. However, while the IRS has extended the deadline, it has not decreased taxpayers’ obligations – and the extra time is up. Fortunately, if you need more time to file, the IRS has made the process of filing for an extension fa...
Monthly Stimulus Payment of $1,400? Democrats Want It.
Rachel Bucchino, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Rachel Bucchino* *Stimulus Payments, Americas* The Democratic Party is divided on giving Americans more stimulus payments. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Biden is already facing intra-party turmoil and pushback from Republicans for his infrastructure and jobs proposal that puts massive tax hikes on corporations. And if Democrats want to pass the bill through budget reconciliation in the upper chamber, they cannot afford to lose a single Democratic vote. Some eligible Americans have received up to $3,200 from the federal government due to the economic downturn caused by th...
Flying Coffins: Meet the 5 Worst Fighter Planes of All Time
Robert Farley, The National Interest - 13 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Fighters, World* The difference between a great fighter and a terrible fighter can be remarkably small. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Some planes just weren't meant to make history in a good way. Over the last century of military aviation, several fighters have earned the nickname “flying coffin.” Military aviation inherently pushes up against the limits of technology and human endurance, particularly where fighter and pursuit aviation is concerned. Flying a fighter is remarkably dangerous, even when no one is trying to shoot you down. Engineering a capable f...

Yesterday, we saw consumer prices moving up. And we saw how the supply of “money” is far outstripping the supply of goods and services you buy with it.
